Tutto è programmato e pilotato dai potenti, come in un film o in un videogioco. Ma dopo aver smesso di prendere i sonniferi, Ruby inizia ad essere tormentata dall'insoddisfazione e comprende che la vita vera è molto diversa da quella che l'Alleanza impone ai cittadini.Quando l'affascinante Harry Heaven bussa alla sua porta nel cuore della notte, Ruby si ritrova catapultata in un'avventura fuori dalla cupola, in un mondo a lei sconosciuto. Con Harry al suo fianco, scopre che l'Alleanza non fa altro che mentire, per tenere i cittadini lontani dall'amore. Fuori da quel mondo finto, Ruby impara a perseguire degli obiettivi e ad accettare le proprie emozioni, per quanto dolorose possano essere.In Safe in the City l'autrice combina il tema della ricerca della felicità in un mondo distopico con la propria esperienza di meditazione buddista, creando personaggi profondi e un intreccio che vi lascerà col fiato sospeso.Non guarderete mai più un pelapatate con gli stessi occhi!

Saga: A Novel of Medieval Iceland
by Jeff JanodaThis retelling of the ancient Saga of the People of Eyri is a modern classic. Absolutely gripping and compulsively readable, Booklist said this book, "does what good historical fiction is supposed to do: put a face on history that is recognizable to all." And medieval expert Tom Shippey, writing for the Times Literary Supplement said, "Sagas look like novels superficially, in their size and layout and plain language, but making their narratives into novels is a trick which has proved beyond most who have tried it. Janoda's Saga provides a model of how to do it: pick out the hidden currents, imagine how they would seem to peripheral characters, and as with all historical novels, load the narrative with period detail drawn from the scholars. No better saga adaptation has been yet written."

Saga of Lost Earths
by Emil PetajaCarl Lempi had the nerve to talk back to his machine. That marked him for investigation in the sterile computer-run future of World-Fed. Carl's defiance turned out to be just one of innumerable breakdowns that were rapidly undermining the world's highest civilization. But Fate - and the plans of a hidden race of star-descended men - had a special place for Carl Lempi. For his rebellion was the start of a quest, a journey back through the dimensions to the source of the world's trouble - an outer-space antagonist hinted at in the oldest legends of mankind - and Carl, alone, was to hold the earth's last hope in his hands. This is a novel that combines science-fiction with the great sweep of fantasy-adventure that marked the work of Kuttner and Burroughs... and which is based upon the ancient - yet strangely modern - prophecies of the Kalevala.

The Saga of Seven Suns: Two Short Novels
by Kevin J. AndersonTogether in one volume, these two short novels complete the story of the internationally bestselling space opera that Kirkus calls &“Wondrously imagined.&”Kevin J. Anderson&’s magnificent epic The Saga of Seven Suns and its sequel The Saga of Shadows has been called &“A space opera to rival the best the field has ever seen&” (SF Chronicle), ten huge novels that cover a future interstellar empire and a galaxy at war.These two short novels, Veiled Alliances and Whistling Past the Graveyard, tell key parts of the saga. Veiled Alliances is a prequel to the entire series, describing the origin of the green priests on Theroc, the first Roamer skymining operations on a gas-giant planet, the discovery of the Klikiss robots entombed in an abandoned alien city, the initial Ildiran expedition to Earth, the rescue of the generation ship Burton and the tragedy that leads to sinister breeding experiments on Dobro.Whistling Past the Graveyard is the connecting novel between the two series, lead-in to the Hugo-nominated novel The Dark Between the Stars. Trade Minister Rlinda Kett seeks to reestablish contact with lost human colonies that have vanished in the chaos after the elemental war nearly destroyed the cosmos. She travels to a planet called Happiness, site of an isolated neo-Amish colony where the treacherous Prince Daniel was exiled. As a civil war brews among the Roamer clans over the old ways versus new business methods, some brave clans venture back to skymining again, harvesting the restless clouds of huge gas giants—where the threat of the devastating hydrogue aliens always looms…&“A setting so rich and detailed that the reader will suspend disbelief and actually be there.&”—R.A.

The Saga of the Renunciates (Darkover #3)
by Marion Zimmer BradleyIn the three novels which comprise THE SAGA OF THE RENUNCIATES, Marion Zimmer Bradley tells the masterful tale of two valiant women who face and try to break the invisible chains of custom, convention, habit and expectation with which society binds women, and women bind themselves.Magdalen Lorne is a Terran woman born and reared on Darkover. She thinks herself the perfect Terran undercover Intelligence agent, and disguises herself as a Free Amazon to enable her to fulfill a mission to free a Terran man from kidnappers. But when she herself is captured by a band of real Renunciates, she discovers they have a harsh punishment for any pretenders: she must swear the Oath of the Free Amazons, relinquish her former life, and become a Renunciate in reality. Jaelle has been raised in the harsh patriarchal environment of the Dry Towns. Her mother Mellora is a Comyn woman who has been kidnapped in order to breed laran-gifted offspring for her barbarian "husband." But when a desperate, pregnant Mellora dies in childbirth following a daring escape aided by a band of Renunciates, the still young Jaelle is adopted into the Guild, and becomes the Free Amazon Jaelle n'ha Mellora, a woman who has never known kindness from a man.Together Magda, now known as Margali n'ha Tsabet, and her Guild-sister Jaelle will follow a twisting course neither could have predicted. A course which will lead them to question every aspect of themselves and of their two so-different societies. And one which will eventually set them on a life-threatening journey not only to the frozen ends of the physical world, but to the perilous limits of the spiritual overworld as well.
