THE CRAZY HOUSE (#1)
May 2017

Seventeen-year-old Becca Greenfield was snatched from her small hometown. She was thrown into a maximum-security prison and put on Death Row with other kids her age. Until her execution, Becca’s told to fit in and shut her mouth . . . but Becca’s never been very good at either. Her sister Cassie was always the good twin.
There were no charges. There was no trial. There will be no escape. Becca’s only hope is that her twin sister will find her. That perfect little priss Cassie will stop following the rules and start breaking them, before it’s too late. Because her jailers made a mistake that could get them both killed: They took the wrong twin.

THE FALL OF CRAZY HOUSE (#2)
April 2019

Escape is just the beginning… Twin sisters Becca and Cassie barely got out of the Crazy House alive. Now they’re trained, skilled fighters who fear nothing–not even the all-powerful United regime. Together, the sisters hold the key to defeating the despotic government and freeing the people of the former United States. But to win this war, will the girls have to become the very thing they hate?
In this gripping sequel to James Patterson’s YA blockbuster Crazy House, the world is about to get even crazier.

James Patterson is the world’s bestselling author. He has donated more than one million books to students and soldiers, as well as millions of dollars to independent bookstores and school libraries.

EVOLUTION, une nouvelle trilogie de Thomas Thiemeyer

When mankind has reached its limits … The first in a new trilogy

EVOLUTION
Stadt der Überlebenden #1
(The City of Survivors)
by Thomas Thiemeyer
Arena Verlag, July 2016

Clueless, Lucie and Jem travel to the U.S. with a group of exchange students. But when their plane has to make an emergency landing at Denver Airport, they soon realize that the world they know no longer exists. The runway is overgrown, the terminal is abandoned, danger lurks everywhere. Even the animals seem to have teamed up against them: wolves, bears, birds keep attacking the youngsters in large hordes. What on Earth happened? During their perilous trip through this new world they learn about a comet that has crashed into the ground. And about a few last survivors in a lost city. But how can they get there if the whole planet has aspired against them?

The bestselling author Thomas Thiemeyer has created a new genre: what if … mankind were no longer the most powerful living being of creation? His scientific thrillers and teen book cycles that have won numerous awards, sold half a million copies and were translated into thirteen foreign languages, have established him as a renowned author of German entertainment literature.

SEVENEVES, l’un des 10 meilleurs livres de 2015 selon Time Magazine!

Le dernier roman de Neal Stephenson, l’un des auteurs de Science Fiction les plus reconnus, figure donc dans la liste des dix meilleurs livres de 2015 que Time Magazine dévoilera dans son prochain numéro. Une très belle surprise pour ce titre encensé par la critique et dont les droits pour la France sont encore disponibles.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ANATHEM, REAMDE, and CRYPTONOMICON comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years

SEVENEVES
by Neal Stephenson
William Morrow, May 2015

What would happen if the world were ending?
A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space.
But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain…
Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown … to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth.

A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in ANATHEM, CRYPTONOMICON, the BAROQUE Cycle, and REAMDE, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.

Les droits de traduction ont été déjà vendu en: Allemagne (Heyne), Bulgarie (Bard), Hongrie (Gabo), Japon (Tokyo Sogensha), Roumanie (Art Grup Editorial) et Russie (Fantastika Book Club).

A spectacular literary Sci-Fi debut of war without end,a soldier without an army, and revenge without mercy

ANCILLARY JUSTICE
by Ann Leckie
Orbit, October 2013

« Debut novel, narrated by a military space ship, triumphs over work of established authors in top science fiction prize » – The Guardian

« A double-threaded narrative proves seductive, drawing the reader into the naive but determined protagonist’s efforts to transform an unjust universe. An expansionist galaxy-spinning empire [and] a protagonist on a single-minded quest for justice transcend space-opera conventions in innovative ways. This impressive debut succeeds in making Breq a protagonist readers will invest in, and establishes Leckie as a talent to watch. » —Publishers Weekly

« Leckie does a very good job of setting up this complex equation… This is an altogether promising debut. » —Kirkus

On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest. Breq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Years ago, she was the Justice of Toren–a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.
An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. And only one purpose–to revenge herself on Anaander Mianaai, the many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch.

Ann Leckie has worked as a waitress, a receptionist, a rodman on a land-surveying crew, a lunch lady, and a recording engineer. The author of many published short stories, and secretary of the Science Fiction Writers of America.

Mise à jour du 1 septembre 2014 : Ann Leckie lauréate du prix HUGO ! Après le BSFA Award et le prix Arthur C. Clarke, Ann Leckie devient ainsi le premier auteur à remporter les trois prix les plus importants pour la science fiction dans la même année. ANCILLARY JUSTICE est déjà un roman culte!
