by Valmore DanielsMeu nome é Richard Riley. Tudo que eu sempre quis foi levar uma vida normal. Quando eu era mais jovem, fiz algumas escolhas ruins que acabaram por me levar à prisão. Eu cumpri minha pena e agora estou tentando recomeçar minha vida. Mas alguém me incriminou por um crime que não cometi. Eles me querem morto, e estão dispostos a matar meus amigos e familiares para chegarem até mim. Mesmo quando tento salvar as pessoas que amo, um poder antigo e sombrio cresce dentro de mim.

Anjo do Fogo
by Valmore DanielsMeu nome é Darcy Anderson e sou amaldiçoada por um poder sombrio: sempre que minha vida está em perigo, algo dentro de mim evoca um fogo elementar para me proteger. Eu não consigo controlar isso. Uma noite fui atacada em minha casa. O fogo ... ficou fora de controle. Eu sobrevivi ao inferno, mas minha casa ardeu até o chão - com meus pais dentro. Eu não sabia explicar à justiça o que aconteceu, então eles me mandaram para a prisão por dez anos por homicídio culposo. Agora estou em liberdade condicional e tudo o que quero é voltar para minha cidade natal e reconstruir minha vida; mas o homem que me atacou está de volta para terminar o trabalho que havia começado. Eu posso sentir o poder em mim crescendo. Se eu não puder controlar, isso vai me controlar e destruir tudo - e todo mundo - que eu amo.
Anksia: The Quest for Omniscience
by Anthony KoontzAnksia is a book about the evolution of Earth, from the arrival of what is known today as "Bennu, the Asteroid of the Apocalypse" and its influence in the development of a world dominated by artificial intelligence seeking omniscience. " La sondo OSIRIS-REx eltrovis, ke la asteroido Bennu forpelas "plumojn" - senprecedenca fenomeno, kiu ŝanĝas nian komprenon pri la Suna Sistemo."[2] The first different news article on Bennu was published worldwide in several newspapers and in many languages: « The Solar System is a thrilling place. Revolutionary findings in our cosmic neighborhood are released every other day. Amidst so much competition, it is not just any discovery that gets an expert scientist to say he faces “one of the biggest surprises in his scientific career”. Well, that was exactly what Dante Lauretta, principal investigator of the OSIRIS-REx mission said in a NASA news release. A few days after the spacecraft began orbiting the Bennu asteroid, on the 31st December, it observed particle plumes being expelled from an asteroid’s surface for the first time in history. We have seen steam-gushing geysers in moons and even streams of dust being left behind by comets. However, until then, it was believed that asteroids did not do that kind of thing. “Bennu is already surprising us, and our exciting journey there is just getting started.”, said Lauretta, Professor of planetary science at the University of Arizona. Shortly after the initial discovery of particle plumes, on Jan. 6, they observed several more. A decent amount of the particles was ejected to the interplanetary medium; a portion of it returned to the rocky surface due to the gravitational pull; and another part remained in orbit. The next step is to unravel additional details about these particle plumes and identify the event that is causing them. » Later they understood that the asteroid sprinkled debris as a means of steering and propelling itself, aside

Illustrated by Mark Edward Geyer.An Alphabettery of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles gathers together, from all fifteen of the books in the series, the facts, details, story lines, genealogies of her characters, vampiric subjects, geographical influences, and cultural and individual histories, all of which Rice painstakingly researched and invented during her 40-year career--to date--through which she has enchanted and transported us. Here are concise, detailed biographies of every character, no matter how central or minor to the cosmology. Revealed are the intricacies and interconnectedness of characters and subjects throughout.

And we see, as well, the ways in which Rice's vampires have evolved from warring civilizations to isolated covens to a unified race of blood drinkers led by their hero-wanderer and sole monarch, Prince Lestat. For devoted and first-time Anne Rice readers alike, An Alphabettery of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles will be the holy grail of lore and revelation for those who have been, and continue to be, mesmerized by the worlds within worlds of these beloved tales of the undead.
