      Demain, dans une ville du Caire secouée par les attentats terroristes et les tremblements de terre, Blaine Ramsey, prospecteur d'images pour le compte d'une importante compagnie publicitaire, fait sans arret le même reve : Une jeune femme d'une beauté surnaturelle, Aïda, lui apparaît, et lui demande de venir l'aider. En fait, il s'avère qu'elle est la plus grande star du cinéma égyptien, et qu'elle réside dans une tour aussi haute que Babel autrefois, à l'abri des cris du peuple, de sa misère, et de la révolte qui gronde. Mais qui est-elle vraiment, et pourquoi lui apparaît-elle ? Un livre étonnant, original. A la fois un grand récit de mystère et de science-fiction, mais, avant tout, une magnifique histoire d'amour, entre « Les mille et une nuits » et « Blade Runner ».

      The master Sorcerer Belgarath and his daughter Polgara the arch-Sorceress were on the trail of the Orb, seeking to regain its saving power before the final disaster prophesized by the legends. And with them went Garion, a simple farm boy only months before, but now the focus of the struggle. He had never believed in sorcery and wanted no part of it. Yet with every league they traveled, the power grew in him, forcing him to acts of wizardry he could not accept."BELGARIAD is exactly the kind of fantasy I like. It has magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a certain delightful human insight."=PIERS ANTHONY=

      La historia comienza con el regreso de Ned Willard a Kingsbridge en Navidad de 1558, un año que cambiará su vida y Europa para siempre. La ciudad está marcada por el odio religioso, donde los ideales chocan con la amistad y el amor, provocando violencia. Ned se encuentra en el bando opuesto al de Margery Fitzgerald, la mujer que ama. Con la llegada de Isabel I al trono, Inglaterra enfrenta la hostilidad de toda Europa. La joven reina, astuta y decidida, establece el primer servicio secreto del país para anticipar intrigas y amenazas. En París, María Estuardo, reina de Escocia, conspira con sus seguidores para derrocar a Isabel, proclamándose legítima soberana de Inglaterra. Mientras tanto, Ned busca a Jean Langlais, un enigmático personaje que resulta ser un antiguo compañero de clase que lo conoce bien. A lo largo de medio siglo de turbulencias, el amor entre Ned y Margery parece destinado al fracaso en medio del extremismo que desata la violencia desde Edimburgo hasta Ginebra. Isabel lucha por mantener su trono y sus principios, respaldada por un grupo leal de espías. La verdadera batalla no es entre religiones rivales, sino entre quienes creen en la tolerancia y aquellos dispuestos a imponer sus ideas a cualquier precio.

      In April came the rains. In August came the heat. In November came the horror. Itâe(tm)s paying a return visit. Lapped by the gentle waters of Locust Lake, the small resort town of Tranquility, Maine, seems like the perfect spot for Dr Claire Elliot to shelter her adolescent son, Noah, from the temptations of the big city and the lingering memory of his fatherâe(tm)s death. And sheâe(tm)s hopeful that she can earn the trust of the town as she builds a new practice. But all her plans unravel with the onset of winter when a rash of teenage violence, far more deadly than anything sheâe(tm)d encountered in the city, erupts in the local school. As she tries to find a medical explanation for this murderous epidemic, Claire stumbles upon an insidious evil which has blighted the townâe(tm)s past and threatens its future. Fearful that Noah, too, is at risk, she must race to prove her theory before everything she loves is destroyed.
