The New York Times best-selling series is coming to an epic conclusion--witness the beginning of the end!

This sci-fi mystery is, at its heart, about the importance of found families and overcoming great odds. As several crises all hurtle toward their thrilling and shocking conclusions, fan-favorite Jedi Knights and Padawans must band together to save the galaxy from the Nihil, the Nameless, and perhaps worst of all, a mysterious blight that turns everything in its path to dust and is seemingly impossible to stop.

The Truth Is Out There...But So Are Lies. #1 New York Times best-selling author Claudia Gray extends the story of The X-Files beyond its eleventh season in this thrilling--and romantic--original novel. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are still reeling from the death of their son William, but cautiously joyous about Scully’s unexpected pregnancy. Determined to raise this child together, Mulder and Scully struggle to find meaning away from the X-Files as they navigate the uncertain waters of their relationship. Then the FBI asks for their help tracking down two mysterious serial killers: one who seems to be able to control electricity, and another who disappears from the scene of the crime in what witnesses describe as a puff of smoke. It’s enough for the Bureau to re-open the X-Files—if Mulder and Scully are willing. They reluctantly agree, cautious about what it might mean for them and their unborn child but determined to find justice for the killers’ victims. But their return to the X-Files sparks the interest of a shadowy cabal, the heirs to the now-dead Syndicate, and Mulder and Scully soon discover that their investigation is connected to a worldwide threat on an unprecedented scale . . . one with their own future at its heart.

The third book in the Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney Mystery series, which finds the amateur sleuths facing their most daunting challenge yet: preventing the murder of the imperious Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Someone is trying to kill Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Esteemed aunt of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, generous patroness of Mr. William Collins, a woman of rank who rules over the estate of Rosings Park with an unimpeachable sense of propriety—who would dare? Lady Catherine summons her grand-nephew, Mr. Jonathan Darcy, and his investigative companion, Miss Juliet Tilney, to find out. After a year apart, Jonathan and Juliet are thrilled to be reunited, even if the circumstances—finding whoever has thus far sabotaged Lady Catherine''s carriage, shot at her, and nearly pushed her down the stairs—are less than ideal. Also less than ideal: their respective fathers, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Mr. Henry Tilney, have accompanied the young detectives to Rosings, and the two men do not interact with the same felicity enjoyed by their children. With attempts against Lady Catherine escalating, and no one among the list of prime suspects seemingly capable of committing all of the attacks, the pressure on Jonathan and Juliet mounts—even as more gentle feelings between the two of them begin to bloom. The race is now on to provoke two confessions: one from the attempted murderer before it is too late—and one, perhaps, of love.

From New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray—a summer house party turns into a thrilling whodunit when Mr. Wickham, one of literature’s most notorious rakes, finally gets what''s coming to him in this brilliantly imagined murder mystery featuring Jane Austen’s leading literary couples. After many years of happy marriage, Emma Knightley and her husband are throwing a house party, bringing together distant relatives and new acquaintances—not all of whom are well known to the Knightleys but are certainly beloved by every Jane Austen fan: Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Marianne and Colonel Brandon, Anne and Captain Wentworth, and Fanny and Edmund Bertram. Very much not invited is Mr. Wickham, whose latest financial scheme has netted him newfound wealth—and a broadening array of enemies. With his unexpected arrival, tempers flare and secrets are revealed, making it clear that everyone would be happier if Mr. Wickham got his comeuppance. Yet the Knightleys and their guests are all shocked when Wickham turns up murdered—except, of course, for the killer hidden in their midst. With everyone a suspect, it falls to the house party''s two youngest guests to solve the mystery of who finally delivered to Wickham his just deserts: Juliet Tilney, the smart and resourceful daughter of Catherine and Henry Tilney, eager for adventure outside Northanger Abbey; and Jonathan Darcy, Elizabeth and Darcy''s eldest son, whose adherence to propriety makes his father seem relaxed. In a tantalizing fusion of Austen and Christie, the unlikely pair must put aside their own poor first impressions—and uncover the guilty party before an innocent person is sentenced to hang.

Secuela de Star Wars: Tormenta creciente. Una y otra vez, los despiadados saqueadores conocidos como Nihil han intentado acabar con la era dorada de la Alta República y de la manera más feroz posible. Una y otra vez, la Alta República ha salido maltrecha y extenuada, pero siempre victoriosa gracias a sus protectores Jedi. Y no hay monumento más grandioso a su causa que el Faro Starlight. Flotando como una joya en el Borde Exterior, el Faro encarna las más altas aspiraciones de la Alta República: un núcleo de cultura y conocimiento, una antorcha luminosa ante la oscuridad de lo desconocido, una mano cordial extendida hacia los confines más remotos de la galaxia. Mientras supervivientes y refugiados huyen de los ataques Nihil, el Faro y su tripulación se preparan para refugiar y curar a los heridos. Los agradecidos Caballeros y padawans de la Orden Jedi allí destinados por fin se pueden recuperar del dolor de sus heridas y el pesar de sus bajas. Tras la muerte de Loden Greatstorm, Bell Zettifar debe tomar su testigo. Elzar Mann está reconstruyendo su conexión con la luz, aunque su rabia hacia los Nihil y sus sentimientos hacia Avar Kriss siguen en plena ebullición. Los acompañantes de Elzar en su vuelta al Faro, la variopinta familia del Navío, disfrutan estirando las piernas en la mejor estación espacial de la galaxia conocida (los que tienen piernas, claro). Pero la tormenta que creían superada sigue activa, solo se encuentran en su ojo. Marchion Ro, el verdadero cerebro de los Nihil, prepara su ataque más audaz, ideado para extinguir la luz de los Jedi.

The suspenseful follow-up to New York Times-bestselling author Claudia Gray''s The Murder of Mr. Wickham: Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy team up again to solve the murder of the scoundrel Willoughby''s young wife. The Tilneys of Northanger Abbey are not entirely pleased to be sending their young daughter out into the social world again: the last house party she attended involved a murder—which she helped solve. She will be the guest of her new friend, Marianne Brandon, who has a scandalous shadow hanging over her. Even more troubling is the fact that Marianne''s former suitor, the rakish John Willoughby, is setting up his household near by, complete with a young wife. The Darcys of Pemberley are thrilled that their eldest son has been invited to a country house party by an old schoolmate. Other former classmates will be there, for riding and shooting and other proper pastimes for young men. Jonathan is less taken with the idea of sharing a roof with his old bully, but when he finds himself reunited with his sleuthing partner, the radiant Miss Tilney, he doesn''t mind so much. When Willoughby''s young wife dies horribly in the midst of an elegant party, they have good reasons to spend a great deal of time together ferreting out the truth. As the local gentry, the sprawling Dashwood clan, and an old schoolmate of Jonathan''s who is eager to add his "modern" scientific methods to the sleuthing duo''s investigations (and perhaps get closer to Juliet than Jonathan is comfortable with) complicate the scene, eerie incidents suggest that the killer may strike again, and that the pair may be in far graver danger than they or their families could imagine.

On the ancient world of Angcord, the Force works in mysterious ways . . . When a pair of Jedi arrive on the mysterious world, seeking ancient artifacts of the Force, they quickly find more than they were bargaining for. But just what is the mysterious Echo Stone, and what does its existence mean for the continued survival of all those who call Angcord home?

There is no longer any doubt: Sera and Zahn have learned that Krypton’s destruction is imminent. General Zod knows this as well, but he doesn’t have the specific information our two young heroes have: there is no time to save themselves or anyone else. Zod, meanwhile, is working on an elaborate plot to make it apparent that he is the only one who can possibly save Krypton. He’ll displace the ruling tribunes and take control of Krypton himself! In this final book of the graphic novel trilogy, two teenagers on opposite sides of the same extinction-level event get drawn deeper into conspiracies that could doom them both-if the planet doesn’t self-destruct first.

Nesta emocionante sequência de Star Wars: Ascensão da tempestade, os Jedi enfrentam seu momento mais sombrio. Por diversas vezes, os cruéis invasores conhecidos como Nihil tentaram dar fim à era de ouro da Alta República. Repetidamente, a Alta República emergiu desgastada e cansada, mas vitoriosa, graças a seus protetores Jedi – e não há monumento maior à sua causa do que o Farol da Luz Estelar. Pendurado como uma joia na Orla Exterior, o Farol incorpora a Alta República no ápice de suas aspirações: um centro de cultura e conhecimento, uma tocha brilhante contra a escuridão do desconhecido e uma mão estendida de boas-vindas aos confins da galáxia. Enquanto sobreviventes e refugiados fogem dos ataques dos Nihil, o Farol e sua tripulação estão prontos para abrigar e curar. Os gratos Cavaleiros e Padawans da Ordem Jedi que estão lá finalmente têm a chance de se recuperarem – da dor de seus ferimentos e da agonia de suas perdas. Mas a tempestade que eles pensavam ter passado ainda continua; eles estão simplesmente presos no centro dela. Marchion Ro, o verdadeiro mentor dos Nihil, está preparando seu ataque mais ousado até agora – projetado para extinguir a luz dos Jedi.

However, even a straightforward supply drop in the Naboo system serves to remind her that nowhere is outside the Empire’s control—and nowhere is safe...

Welcome to a brand-new vision of one of comics'' most famous tragedies, from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray and illustrator Eric Zawadzki. In this second book of a graphic novel trilogy, two teenagers on opposite sides of the same extinction-level event get drawn deeper into conspiracies that could doom them--if the planet doesn''t self-destruct first. Sera is a young soldier, bred her entire life to fight for Krypton. She would die for this planet, but she''s never had the time or inclination to enjoy it. Zahn, however, is a young scientist, full of hope and ideas for how to improve Krypton for all its citizens. And yet, the cracks in his world are beginning to appear. In fact, both Sera and Zahn are unique in ways that will soon drive them from their destinies and toward each other--toward a cataclysmic ending to all that they once held true. Having learned of Krypton''s possible fate, Sera and Zahn find it increasingly difficult to continue with their everyday lives. Sera''s enhanced fighting skills may impress General Zod, but they seem to raise suspicions among her fellow soldiers. Zahn finds it equally challenging to maintain his studies and his friendships, as he carries both the knowledge of an underground rebel group''s plans and the experiments conducted by Jor-El and Lara. Jor-El himself attempts to alert the tribunes about the looming danger to the planet.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this gripping sequel to Star Wars: The Rising Storm, the light of the Jedi faces its darkest hour. Time and again, the vicious raiders known as the Nihil have sought to bring the golden age of the High Republic to a fiery end. Time and again, the High Republic has emerged battered and weary but victorious thanks to its Jedi protectors—and there is no monument to their cause grander than the Starlight Beacon. Hanging like a jewel in the Outer Rim, the Beacon embodies the High Republic at the apex of its aspirations: a hub of culture and knowledge, a bright torch against the darkness of the unknown, and an extended hand of welcome to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As survivors and refugees flee the Nihil’s attacks, the Beacon and its crew stand ready to shelter and heal. The grateful Knights and Padawans of the Jedi Order stationed there finally have a chance to recover—from the pain of their injuries and the grief of their losses. But the storm they thought had passed still rages; they are simply caught in its eye. Marchion Ro, the true mastermind of the Nihil, is preparing his most daring attack yet—one designed to snuff out the light of the Jedi.

Knowing Krypton''s possible fate, Sera and Zahn find it difficult to continue with their everyday lives. Sera''s enhanced fighting skills may impress General Zod, but they raise suspicions among her fellow soldiers. Zahn is burdened with the knowledge of the underground rebel group''s plans.

Will the end of the conflict mean the end of their story...? Thane and Ciena have survived to see the destruction of one Death Star and the construction of another, but as they watch from opposite sides as the Empire crumbles, can anything but tragedy await them at the end of their journey?

A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi''s most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice. Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn''t Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council--knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master. When Jedi Rael Aveross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the Royal Court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon''s mind. As Qui-Gon''s faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan''s faith in him is tested--just as a threat surfaces which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.

As the Empire and the Rebellion clash, the galaxy trembles! In the wake of the obliteration of Alderaan, Thane’s faith in the Empire is shaken, while the destruction of the Death Star that soon follows gives Ciena a reason to rededicate herself to the side she’s chosen. As their paths diverge, is love strong enough to overcome the distance growing between them?
