Dass George R. R. Martin einer der erfolgreichsten Fantasy-Autoren aller Zeiten ist, steht außer Frage. Dass er noch viel mehr kann, beweist er in seinen beiden Erzählbänden Traumlieder und Schwertlieder, deren Vielseitigkeit Fantasy- und Science-Fiction-Fans jeder Generation begeistern wird.

Les légendes parlent d'une race d'extraterrestres fabuleuse parcourant lentement l'espace, aux manettes de gigantesques vaisseaux à l'apparence de cités d'ombre... Moi, Karoly d'Branin, je leur ai voué ma vie, et mes inlassables recherches m'ont enfin permis de les localiser. Avec mon équipe, nous avons embarqué à bord de l'Armageddon, vaisseau du commandant Royd Eris. Et dans peu de temps, les volcryns seront enfin à notre portée. Mais en attendant, l'ambiance est de plus en plus pesante entre nous.

Feu et sang, le roman à l’origine de la série TV originale "House of the Dragon". "Au septième jour, une nuée de corbeaux jaillit des tours de Peyredragon pour propager la parole de lord Aegon aux Sept Couronnes de Westeros. Ils volaient vers les sept rois, vers la Citadelle de Villevieille, vers les seigneurs tant petits que grands. Tous apportaient le même message : à compter de ce jour, il n’y aurait plus à Westeros qu’un roi unique. Ceux qui ploieraient le genou devant Aegon de la maison Targaryen conserveraient terres et titres.

Daenerys a eu beau se plier à toutes les exigences du peuple de Meereen, rien n'y fait : la paix précaire risque à tout moment de dégénérer en un siège sanglant. D'autant plus que la jument pâle, cette peste incurable, continue de faire des ravages aux portes de la ville. Yezzan zo Qaggaz, le maître de Tyrion, figure parmi les dernières victimes en date. Le malheur des uns faisant le bonheur des autres, le nain y voit une occasion unique de prendre la poudre d'escampette.

Une fois Stannis Baratheon parti reprendre Winterfell aux Bolton, Jon Snow peut enfin redevenir le maître du Mur. Il doit cependant composer avec Mélisandre, la prêtresse rouge, qui semble décidée à lui apporter son aide. Les flammes lui révèlent un avenir, mais lequel ? A Meereen, le blocus du port par les esclavagistes s'éternise, et Daenerys refuse d'envoyer ses dragons y mettre un terme flamboyant. L'enquête visant à démasquer les coupables des meurtres qui ensanglantent le pouvoir piétine elle aussi.

Le destin des Sept Royaumes est sur le point de basculer. A l'est, Daenerys, dernière descendante de la Maison Targaryen, secondée par ses terrifiants dragons arrivés à maturité, règne sur une cité de mort et de poussière, entourée d'ennemis. Mais alors que certains voudraient la voir passer de vie à trépas, d'autres entendent rallier sa cause, tel Tyrion Lannister, dont la tête vaut de l'or depuis qu'il s'est rendu coupable de parricide.

Don't make deals with the paranormal. They're better at it than you, and they never play fair. Paranormal investigator and soul-without-a-body Vincent Graves did just that - a deal made in desperation. Now it's coming back to bite him in the middle of a case. He has 57 hours to investigate a string of deaths involving people who've made some devilish bargains. Too bad devils don't deal in good faith.

What do shadows darting across the walls, cryptic writing, black fog, and a little girl who can see ghosts have in common? Paranormal investigator and soul without a body Vincent Graves has 44 hours to find out. To make matters worse, his years of body-hopping and monster-hunting are catching up with him. He's losing his mind. An old contact has shut him out. To top it all off, something's skulking through an asylum, killing patients.

Another day, another hijacked body. And just 13 hours to solve a murder…Detective Vincent Graves has made a habit of dying. Waking up in someone else’s body isn’t pleasant, especially when it's inside a coffin with tons of dirt pressing down on it. Once he’s out, he learns his soul has 13 hours to find the borrowed body’s killer. With the help of a brilliant FBI agent, Vincent’s quest for clues leads to a looming supernatural presence. And escaping the dark threat may be impossible with his ever-ticking clock… Can Vincent close the case in time?

After the staggering slaughter of back-to-back world wars, the West embraced the ideal of the "open society". The promise: By liberating ourselves from the old attachments to nation, clan, and religion that had fueled centuries of violence, we could build a prosperous world without borders, freed from dogmas and managed by experts. But the populism and nationalism that are upending politics in America and Europe are a sign that after three generations, the postwar consensus is breaking down. 

The year is 2368, and a gang of privateers led by Amanda Callin is routinely savaging the fleet of interstellar cargo ships that carry freight between Earth's 12 colonies. The raiders attack without mercy, leaving death and destruction in their wake as they disappear back into uncharted space. The best efforts of the authorities to track down the marauders and bring them to justice have been ineffective.

On a voyage toward the boundaries of the known universe, nine misfit academics seek out first contact with a shadowy alien race. But another enigma is the Nightflyer itself, a cybernetic wonder with an elusive captain no one has ever seen in the flesh. Soon, however, the crew discovers that their greatest mystery - and most dangerous threat - is an unexpected force aboard the ship wielding a thirst for blood and terror....
