Paranormal investigator Viktor Krelig has seen enough innocent lives torn apart by ignorance of the paranormal. He no longer participates in conspiracies and no longer remains silent. Now he is sharing the stories from his case files so that the world can finally learn the truth about black magic.
How can life continue when the desire to live is ripped away? That’s the question William McConnelly grapples with every day. He is frozen in time on the night his wife and son die in a house fire. Although his body goes through the motions of living, his reality resides in the past. By the time his father-in-law asks him to scatter Cara’s and Sam’s ashes in the Irish hills of his homeland, Will has lost all ties to America and life. After all, he can rejoin his lost family in the hills of Drumkeeran as easily as he can in Fort Worth, Texas. So, out of respect for all his father-in-law has suffered and done for him, Will agrees to the request and flies to Ireland.Even before his plane touches the tarmac, the ancient magic of Irish lore awakens to Will’s desperate need. But is magic and an emerging belief in leprechauns and fairies enough to restore an interest in life, or are the dangerous quests Will undertakes in his reckless search for peace the final proof of his insanity?
Vor sieben Jahrzehnten ist der Astronaut Perry Rhodan auf Außerirdische getroffen. Seither ist die Menschheit zu den Sternen aufgebrochen und hat fremde Welten besiedelt, ist aber auch in kosmische Kämpfe verwickelt worden.
Seit einigen Jahren umkreisen Erde und Mond eine fremde Sonne im Sternhaufen M 3. Außerdem haben Leticrons Überschwere das Solsystem und alle Kolonieplaneten der Erde besetzt. Erst nach fünf Jahren können sie wieder vertrieben werden.
Da wird Perry Rhodan im Jahr 2107 als körperloses Gehirn auf einen fernen Planeten entführt. Der Terraner muss sich in einer seltsamen außerirdischen Kultur zurechtfinden.
Trotzdem gewinnt er schnell Unterstützer, die ihm bei der Rückkehr in die Heimat beistehen könnten. Als Gegenleistung soll er einer Rebellengruppe bei einer rätselhaften Aufgabe helfen. Viel Zeit hierfür bleibt ihm nicht – denn ihn verfolgt unerbittlich DIE CEYNACH-JÄGERIN ...

An action-packed heist meets a coming-of-age story that can be read as a stand-alone or as Book 2 in the WIND TIDE trilogy.
Ailo is a streetwise teen surviving alone on the remote moonbase, Tarkassi 9. She wants nothing more than to flee into the wider world of the Arm. When her chance arrives, she makes it no farther than the first ship out of the system. That's where Jati, the Patent War veteran and general fighting the Monopolies gives her a second chance. It's an unlikely partnership, but Ailo's rogue status is just what Jati's People's Army needs to drive the final spike of victory into a weakening Garissian Council.
A team of experts assembles and hope rests on Ailo's skill, stealth, and tenacity to pull off the impossible. It's a wild gambit, and a moral code may need to be bent, or broken, to achieve success. When an internal shadow rises, casting doubt on their plans, Ailo and Jati are forced to weigh the cost of revenge against honor and justice.
Jati's Wager, a space opera inspired by the myths of the Trojan War.

Vor 27 Jahren ging die Sonne unter - und seitdem sind die Armeen der Vampire auf dem Vormarsch. Stück für Stück haben sie ihr ewiges Reich ausgedehnt und den Menschen den Boden streitig gemacht, bis nur noch an wenigen Orten ein unbeschwertes Leben möglich ist. Kleine Inseln des Lichts in einem Meer aus ewiger Finsternis.
Als der junge Gabriel de León sein Heimatdorf verlassen muss, führt ihn sein Weg nach San Michon, zum Orden der Silberwächter, einer heiligen Bruderschaft, die das Reich und die Kirche gegen den Ansturm der Bestien verteidigt. Und noch ahnt er nicht, dass er zur größten Legende des Ordens werden wird - und zur letzten Hoffnung einer sterbenden Welt.
The worst day of Eric's life was capped off by him being kicked through a gateway into a universe filled with magic and monsters.
To make matters worse, he had to fight for his life the moment he arrived. Nothing could have prepared him for a world where everything either wants to kill him or eat him.
Or both.
Eric never saw himself as a hero. But the world he's been cast into needs one badly.
It looks like he's going to have to fill those shoes.
He needs to gain some power if he wants to hold his own. Oh, and stay alive long enough to take on the forces of evil.
If only that was as simple as it sounds . . .
What if saving our world means destroying another?
Alora's brain has always been a little strange. No matter how hard things on Earth got, and they got pretty awful, she always dreamt that she possessed amazing telekinetic powers on another world. Her brother called them her delusions of grandeur.
But when things start to go unbelievably well on Earth—hot guys asking her out and her brother landing a terrific job—everything falls apart in her dream world. As people she's seen in her dreams begin to appear on Earth, Alora fears that the two worlds may in fact be connected.
And that's bad.
Because according to a prophecy in her dreams, she's the only one who can save their world. At first it made no sense, but she's beginning to think that she'll have to choose. If they can't both continue, which world should she save, and which world will have to burn?

Turns out, Los Angeles is hiding a lot of secrets just underneath your feet.
Can Lucy put the bad guys behind Trevilsom bars and still get home in time for family dinner? What are her magical kids up to and do they have their own spy network?

And then there's the academy and final exams. With so much to do, giving up would be the logical move, only Leg Ondo isn't one to throw up his hands when the going gets rough.

El único lugar donde la convivencia entre vivos y muertos parece ser posible.
«No soy el primero ni seré el último escritor cuya vida se enriquece o condena por causa de lo que imaginó y escribió.»
Pero quizá ninguno haya visto su realidad invadida por la ficción como Javier Marías, ni a tantas personas comportarse como personajes suyos, ni se habrá diluido tanto entre sus propias páginas, ni se habrá convertido en el heredero de un reino legendario que sin embargo figura en los mapas.
Poco podía imaginar el autor de esta «falsa novela» que con su obra Todas las almas iba a poner en marcha un mundo que yacía dormido o que transitaba sólo por la Negra espalda del tiempo que suele estar oculta y no verse. Un mundo en el que todo cabe, lo impensable y lo que trae el destino, la inverosimilitud y la gracia, la aventura y el infortunio, la bala perdida en México y una maldición en La Habana, un piloto mercenario y tuerto al que la muerte pasaba de largo siempre, y los velados recuerdos de un narrador que se hace más misterioso cuanto más reflexiona y cuenta.
La voz de Javier Marías es aquí más sobrecogedora que nunca, como si fuera «una voz antojadiza e imprevisible pero que conocemos todos, la voz del tiempo cuando aún no ha pasado ni se ha perdido y quizá por eso ni siquiera es tiempo».
Reseña:
«Negra espalda del tiempo brinda el impensado reverso de lo que acontece, el sustrato social de la novela, la luz fuera del tiempo, donde perdura lo que ya ha cesado. Fascinante.»
Juan Villoro
