Bernard Werbers atemberaubend spannender Roman beginnt in einem halb verfallenen Haus, das Jonathan von seinem Onkel, einem verrückten Wissenschaftler, geerbt hat. Sein Testament enthielt nur einen kryptischen Satz: »Niemals den Keller betreten!« Schon kurz danach werden Jonathan, seine Frau Lucie und sein Sohn Nicolas von einer beunruhigenden Vorahnung geplagt. Der Alptraum beginnt, als Nicolas’ Pudel nach einer Expedition in den Keller nur noch aus blutigen Fetzen besteht. Während immer mehr Menschen, wie magisch angezogen, in den Keller steigen, ohne wiederzukehren, führt uns die Erzählung in eine unterirdische Gegenwelt: in die Millionenmetropole Bel-o-kan, regiert von einer mächtigen Königin, die ihre Soldatinnen, Arbeiterinnen, Nahrungs- und Nachwuchserzeugerinnen unter eiserner Kontrolle hat. Als Vermittler zwischen diesen beiden Welten entpuppt sich der Onkel, der in seinem unterirdischen Labor eine Sprache zwischen Mensch und Ameise entwickelt hatte.

You might see rockets to Mars. Or bizarre circuses where otherworldly acts whirl in the center ring. Perhaps you travel to a dystopian future, where books are set ablaze… or to an out-of-the-way sideshow, where animated illustrations crawl across human skin. Or maybe, suddenly, you're returned to a simpler time in small-town America, where summer perfumes the air and life is almost perfect… .
Ray Bradbury—peerless storyteller, poet of the impossible, and one of America's most beloved authors—is a literary giant whose remarkable career has spanned seven decades.

In Uganda in 1977, a particular trainload of coffee, mostly belonging to dictator Idi Amin, is worth six million dollars. As a group of scoundrels and international financiers hijack the train, the double and triple crosses pile up and the comic tension escalates in a brawling brew of buffoons, bumblers, beans and boxcars.
This 1981 Westlake gem is back in print. A mile-long freight train steams through the heart of Idi Amin’s mad, tortured, magical, and corrupt Uganda, loaded down with kahawa (Swahili for coffee). What Amin doesn't know, what his most beautiful spy has not been able to wring out of her latest victim, and what the world’s coffee markets may be unable to swallow, is that the train and six million dollars worth of coffee are about to disappear into the hands of a conflicted, colorful, swashbuckling band of mercenaries and moneymakers.

Alek and Deryn are on the last leg of their round-the-world quest to end World War I, reclaim Alek’s throne as prince of Austria, and finally fall in love. The first two objectives are complicated by the fact that their ship, the , continues to detour farther away from the heart of the war (and crown). And the love thing would be a lot easier if Alek knew Deryn was a girl. (She has to pose as a boy in order to serve in the British Air Service.) And if they weren’t technically enemies.
The tension thickens as the steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic on board: secrets suddenly unravel, characters reappear, and nothing is at it seems in this thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s brilliant trilogy.

Was ist Zeit? Für Tom Winter stellt sich diese Frage auf geradezu existenzielle Weise. Denn in dem abgeschiedenen Haus auf dem Land, in dem er nach seiner Scheidung zur Ruhe kommen will, befindet sich eine mehr als mysteriöse Vorrichtung: eine Art Zeittunnel, die ihn in das New York des Jahres 1962 führt. Zuerst sieht er es als einzigartige Möglichkeit, von vorne anzufangen, sein bisheriges Leben ganz und gar hinter sich zu lassen. Doch es gibt noch jemanden, der den Tunnel durch die Zeit kennt. Und dieser jemand kennt nur ein Ziel: Tom Winter muss sterben…

Oxford, futur proche. L’université est définitivement dépoussiérée : historien est devenu un métier à haut risque. Car désormais, pour étudier le passé, il faut le vivre. Littéralement.
Michael Davies se prépare pour Pearl Harbor, Merope Ward est aux prises avec une volée d’enfants évacués en 1940, Polly Churchill sera vendeuse en plein cœur du Blitz, et le jeune Colin Templer irait n’importe où, n’importe quand, pour Polly…
Ils seront aux premières loges pour les épisodes les plus fascinants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Une aubaine pour des historiens, sauf que les bombes qui tombent sont bien réelles et une mort soudaine les guette à tout moment. Sans parler de ce sentiment grandissant que l’Histoire elle-même est en train de dérailler.
Et si, finalement, il était possible de changer le passé ?
Une autre civilisation, aux moeurs étranges, très loin dans l’avenir.
Elevé depuis toujours dans la Guilde des Bourreaux, Sévérian est nommé Exécuteur dans une cité lointaine qu’il doit rejoindre à pied, par villes, monts et vaux, alors qu’il ignore tout des usages du monde. Voyage pittoresque dans l’espace et le temps, mais aussi voyage initiatique qui le confronte aux situations les plus étranges, dans un univers qui ne dévoile jamais complètement ses mystères. Premier volume d’une saga en passe de devenir l’une des plus belles de la SF, l’Ombre du Bourreau réconcilie avec une subtile audace le lyrisme de l’heroic fantasy et la vérité aiguë de la science-fiction dans un futur si lointain qu’il ressemble à un passé très ancien.
Severian le bourreau, exclu de sa guilde pour avoir montré de la pitié à une prisonnière trop aimée, a pris le chemin de Thrax, la cité de l'exil. Armé de Terminus Est, son épée, et d'un bijou mystérieux dont il constate sans les comprendre les pouvoirs thaumaturgiques, Severian entre au service de Vodalus, le hors-la-loi, le nécrophage, dont les rites énigmatiques jettent un pont, peut-être illusoire, entre la vie et la mort.
