The Gap Into Conflict: The Real Story
London: Guild 1991 For the crowd at Mallory's Bar the story was simple: Morn Hyland and Angus Thermopyle looked grotesque together. She was gorgeous; he was loathsome and perhaps the most disreputable man still holding docking rights on the Com-Mine ore-mining station. Yet he certainly had some sort of hold over her. The failed asteroid miners pirates and claim jumpers who drank there even talked of zone implants. They were illegal of course except for treating gap-sickness but they could see the way he kept one hand constantly fisted in the pocket of his grease-stained shipsuit. No one was surprised by the current that sparked across the room when Morn and Nick Succorso first set eyes on each other. His piratical reputation and personal magnetism made him the most desirable man in DelSec. The only flaws on his otherwise perfect face the scars under his eyes that darkened ominously when he first saw Morn. Two weeks later it finally happened. When Com-Mine Security burst into Mallorys to arrest Thermopyle for hijacking a supply ship from Earth Morn was suddenly at Nick's side and just as suddenly they were gone. While Angus was left to rot in Station lockup they disappeared to become the sort of story drunks and dreamers telleach other. Just another tale of animal passion a man and a woman driven together by lust. That of course was not the real story. Guild hardcover

L'atlante di smeraldo
ril. È la notte di Natale e Kate avrebbe voluto rimanere sveglia, ma i suoi occhi di bambina alla fine si sono arresi al sonno. Sono le mani di sua madre a scuoterla e svegliarla di colpo: sta succedendo qualcosa, qualcosa di brutto. Kate ha solo quattro anni, suo fratello Michael due, Emma è appena nata. Questa è l'ultima volta in cui vedranno i loro genitori. Dieci anni e moltissimi orfanotrofi dopo, i tre fratelli si imbarcano per quello che pare sia l'ultimo istituto disposto ad accoglierli: Cambridge Falls. Ma quando arrivano nella enorme casa tutta sbilenca, piena di torri, sotterranei e sale colme di bizzarrie, molte sono le domande che si affacciano alla loro mente. Come mai non ci sono altri bambini? Chi è l'enigmatico dottor Pym, il direttore di quello strano orfanotrofio? E soprattutto, cos'è quell'inquietante libro dalle pagine bianche e dalla copertina verde che sembra brillare di luce propria nel buio della camera segreta? Questa è la storia di Kate, che da sempre si prende cura dei fratelli, aggrappandosi alla disperata certezza che un giorno i suoi genitori torneranno a prenderli, ed è la storia di Michael e della sua passione per le storie fantastiche, e della piccola Emma, che sembra temere solo una cosa: perdere i suoi fratelli. È la storia di tre ragazzi inseguiti da un potere oscuro e minaccioso e del libro che cambierà per sempre il loro destino.

Stephens John
L'atlante di tenebra
br. Kate, Michael ed Emma sono stati strappati ai genitori durante una notte di Natale di molti anni prima, forse per proteggerli da un destino oscuro e misterioso. Ma il destino non si può ingannare. E il destino, per loro, ha la forma di tre libri antichissimi, dal potere immenso e oscuro, legati ai ragazzi da un'antica profezia. Gli stessi che il Ferale Magnus, il loro peggiore nemico, vuole riunire per portare a compimento il malvagio disegno che persegue sin dalla notte dei tempi: ottenere il potere assoluto sul mondo umano e sul mondo magico. È lui che ha fatto rapire la minore dei fratelli, Emma, la quale, secondo la profezia, è la Custode dell'Atlante di tenebra, l'unica che possa ritrovare il terzo Libro, quello della Resa dei conti. Il compito che aspetta la piccola Emma è arduo: discendere nel mondo dei morti per ritrovare il Libro, ed escogitare un criterio di giudizio capace di discriminare tra le anime dei trapassati. Ma Emma, dal carattere ribelle e solo apparentemente forte, rischia di non rivedere più la superficie e gli amati fratelli... Aiutati dal dottor Pym, che da quella lontana notte di Natale si prende cura di loro, dal gigante buono Gabriel e da una serie di personaggi indimenticabili, i ragazzi dovranno affrontare la più difficile delle battaglie. Riusciranno a sconfessare la profezia che ha decretato la loro morte, salvando, oltre al loro stesso futuro, le sorti dell'umanità?
