N. K. Jemisin

Den söndrade jordens enda kontinent kallas Stillheten. Men jorden är allt annat än stilla: skalv och jordbävningar kommer och går hela tiden. Ibland går jorden in i en Femte Årstid, som kan sträcka sig över flera år. Då antar dessa vulkaniska, seismiska, atmosfäriska och geomagnetiska omvälvningar apokalyptiska proportioner. Genom åren har civilisationen på Stillheten organiserats i ett kast- och rassystem. Utanför det står orogenerna, utstötta ur och förslavade av samhället, men samtidigt nödvändiga för att skydda mänskligheten, eftersom endast de kan påverka och motverka de seismiska krafter som hotar dess överlevnad. Nu råder Femte Årstiden återigen - kommer världen att gå under eller kan någon rädda den?Essun har lyckats hemlighålla för sin man Jija och sin omgivning att hon är orogen. En dag finner hon sin treårige son Uche död - ihjälslagen för att han visat tecken på orogeni. Och den som dräpt pojken är Jija. Han har nu flytt tillsammans med deras dotter Nassun, som även hon ärvt förmågorna. Essun måste hitta sin dotter innan något ont händer henne. Men var ska hon söka?Den femte årstiden är den första delen i trilogin "Den söndrade jorden". Alla tre delarna har belönats med en Hugo Award för bästa roman."en djupt mänsklig berättelse om föräldraskap, vänskap och kärlek. Boken är mer än läsvärd och lär tilltala en väldigt bred läsarskara." BTJ

Five New Yorkers must come together in order to defend their city from an ancient evil in the first book of a stunning new series by Hugo award-winning and NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin. Every city has a soul. Some are as ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York City? She's got five. But every city also has a dark side. A roiling, ancient evil stirs beneath the earth, threatening to destroy the city and her five newborn avatars unless they can come together and stop it once and for all.

N. K. Jemisin's outstanding BROKEN EARTH trilogy has broken records and boundaries, making her the only novelist to have won three Hugo awards in three consecutive years. This beautifully presented box set collects all three books (The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky) for the the first time. Set in a world of volcanoes and earthquakes, where the power of the earth can be wielded and won, these remarkable novels of warring factions, twisted morals, an Earth shattered and a family torn apart, weave into a narrative both 'intricate and extraordinary' (New York Times). This box set is the perfect gift for fans of game-changing fantasy fiction.

The official prequel to the hit video game Mass Effect: Andromeda. Lieutenant Cora Harper joins the Andromeda Initiative, a mission to send a fleet of colonization arks to the Andromeda Galaxy, each carrying a different council race. When key data is stolen by unknown parties, Alec Ryder personally recruits Harper to retrieve it before it can be used against the Initiative. If she fails, the Andromeda mission may be crippled before it begins. Harper is a human who has trained with the asari squad known as Talein’s Daughters, under the direction of Nisira T’Kosh herself. Yet her training may not be enough when she discovers that she can trust no one—perhaps not even Ryder himself. Copyright © 2017 Electronic Arts Inc.

Essun's missing daughter grows more powerful every day, and her choices may destroy the world in this magnificent Hugo Award winner and NYT Notable Book. (NPR) The season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the long cold night. Essun -- once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger -- has found shelter, but not her daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request. But if Essun does what he asks, it would seal the fate of the Stillness forever. Far away, her daughter Nassun is growing in power -- and her choices will break the world. N. K. Jemisin's award winning trilogy continues in the sequel to The Fifth Season.

The concluding volume in this spectacular and highly original fantasy epic, where the lives of gods and mortals intertwine

The essential companion for the geek era: a fusion of inspirational quotes, philosophy, and pop culture drawn from the entire cult-classic canon of film, TV, books, comics, and science. Celebrate nerd culture by taking a page out of your all-time favorites, like Star Wars and Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings and Dune—and much more! Computer nerds are our titans of industry; comic-book superheroes are our Hollywood idols; the Internet is our night on the town. Clearly, geeks know something about life in the 21st century that other folks don’t—something we all can learn from. Geek Wisdom takes as gospel some 200 of the most powerful and oft-cited quotes from movies (“Where we’re going, we don’t need roads”), television (“Now we know—and knowing is half the battle”), literature (“All that is gold does not glitter”), games, science, the Internet, and more. Now these beloved pearls of modern-day culture have been painstakingly interpreted by a diverse team of hardcore nerds with their imaginations turned up to 11. Yes, this collection of mini-essays is by, for, and about geeks—but it’s just so surprisingly profound, the rest of us would have to be dorks not to read it. So say we all.

The saga of mortals and immortals continues in this spectacular and highly original fantasy epic.

In this brilliantly original debut fantasy, a young woman becomes entangled in a power struggle of mythic proportions.
