New Releases by Rick Yancey

Existe un tipo de hambre que no puede saciarse. Ha llegado el devorador de toda la humanidad... Como aprendiz del doctor Warthrop, Will Henry ha dedicado su vida a la monstrumología, pero su existencia da un vuelco cuando el antiguo mentor de su maestro intenta demostrar la existencia del mítico Wendigo, una criatura que sigue hambrienta a pesar de atiborrarse de carne humana. Will y el doctor deberán recorrer los desolados páramos de Canadá. Durante el viaje, puede que descubran una verdad mucho más aterradora de lo que jamás hubieran imaginado.

Nuestro mundo no es lo que parece. Los monstruos están entre nosotros. Will Henry, un chico huérfano, es el aprendiz del doctor Warthrop, especializado en algo singular y macabro: el estudio de los monstruos. Una noche, el médico y su ayudante reciben dos cadáveres; el de una joven... y el de una criatura sin cabeza y de dientes afilados que se creía extinta en Nueva Inglaterra. Pronto, Will y el doctor tendrán que iniciar una carrera contrarreloj para evitar que estas bestias se extiendan y vuelvan a matar.

El esperado final de la espectacular trilogía épica La quinta ola. La última fase de la invasión está a punto de completarse, lloverán bombas sobre las ciudades y la quinta ola ejecutará a los supervivientes. El fin de la especie humana está asegurado y Cassie Sullivan y sus compañeros saben que ha llegado el momento de escoger: entre el amor o el miedo, la confianza o la sospecha, el odio o el sacrificio, la fe o la barbarie. Entre salvarnos a nosotros mismos o salvar aquello que nos hace humanos. Y es que todo terminará donde empezó: la última batalla tendrá lugar en el último corazón humano y acabará con su último latido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The highly-anticipated finale to the New York Times bestselling 5th Wave series. The enemy is Other. The enemy is us. They’re down here, they’re up there, they’re nowhere. They want the Earth, they want us to have it. They came to wipe us out, they came to save us. But beneath these riddles lies one truth: Cassie has been betrayed. So has Ringer. Zombie. Nugget. And all 7.5 billion people who used to live on our planet. Betrayed first by the Others, and now by ourselves. In these last days, Earth’s remaining survivors will need to decide what’s more important: saving themselves . . . or saving what makes us human. “Yancey’s prose remains achingly precise, and this grows heavier, tighter, and more impossible to put down as the clock runs out…this blistering finale proves the truth of the first two volumes: it was never about the aliens.”—Booklist, starred review “A haunting, unforgettable finale.”—Kirkus Reviews

All three volumes in Yancey''s award-winning, "New York Times"-bestselling series are collected in this box set: "The 5th Wave, The Infinite Sea, " and "The Last Star."

El esperado final de la espectacular trilogía épica La quinta ola.

We zijn hier en dan zijn we weer weg. Dat was al zo voordat ze kwamen. Dat is altijd zo geweest. De Anderen hebben de dood niet uitgevonden, ze hebben hem alleen geperfectioneerd. Ze hebben de dood een gezicht gegeven, om hem ons vervolgens in het gezicht te wrijven, want zij wisten dat dat de enige manier was om ons te vermorzelen. De dood eindigt niet op een continent of in een oceaan, niet bij een berg of op een vlakte, in een jungle of een woestijn. Hij eindigt waar hij begon, waar hij van meet af aan was: op het slagveld van het laatste, nog kloppende mensenhart. In het laatste deel van deze epische reeks, waarin het lot van de planeet wordt bezegeld, neemt meesterverteller Rick Yancey ons mee langs triomf, verlies en onverminderde actie.

Gli Altri sono il nemico. Il nemico è dentro di noi. Anzi, no, non c''è. Il nemico è quaggiù, è lassù, non è da nessuna parte. Vuole la Terra, vuole aiutarci a non perderla. È venuto qui per eliminarci, è venuto qui per salvarci.

Come si fa a cancellare dalla faccia della Terra sette miliardi di persone? Cancellando ciò che li rende tali, la loro umanità. Sopravvivere alle prime quattro onde sembrava impossibile eppure Cassie Sullivan e i suoi compagni ci sono riusciti. Ora si ritrovano in un mondo che non riconoscono più, tutto è stato distrutto, anche quello che ci teneva uniti, che ci rendeva umani: "Non c''è speranza senza fede, non c''è fede senza speranza, non c''è amore senza fiducia, non c''è fiducia senza amore. Togli una sola di queste cose e l''intero castello di carte umano crolla". Con gli Altri alle costole, Cassie, Ben e Ringer si trovano di fronte a una scelta difficile: prepararsi ad affrontare l''inverno sperando nel ritorno di Evan Walker o partire alla ricerca di altri sopravvissuti. Perché il prossimo attacco è inevitabile - e imminente. La Quinta Onda, infatti, continua implacabile la sua avanzata, e il nemico non si fermerà fino a che la razza umana non sarà completamente annientata. Dopo il successo di La Quinta Onda, diventato un film, Rick Yancey torna con il secondo capitolo della saga, e ci mostra fin dove possa spingersi l''umanità nella battaglia finale tra vita e morte, speranza e disperazione, amore e odio.

The riveting follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The 5th Wave, hailed by Justin Cronin as “wildly entertaining.” How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity. Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race. Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate. Praise for The Infinite Sea “Heart-pounding pacing, lyrical prose and mind-bending twists . . .”—The New York Times Book Review “Impressively improves on the excellent beginning of the trilogy.”—USA Today “An epic sci-fi novel with all the romance, action, and suspense you could ever want.”—Seventeen.com *“This gut-wrenching sequel to The 5th Wave careens on a violent course of nonstop action.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review *“A breathless, grueling survival story . . . . Yancey''s prose remains unimpeachable—every paragraph is laden with setting, theme, and emotion."—Booklist, starred review “A roller-coaster ride of a sequel.”—Kirkus Reviews “It doesn’t just move the story forward, but even opens up new possibilities in the previous book.” —Geekdad.com

Detta är de hemligheter jag har burit på. Så börjar Will Henrys dagbok. Will är föräldralös och assistent åt en doktor med en högst ovanlig specialitet: monsterjakt. Under den korta tid Will har bott tillsammans med doktorn i 1800-talets New England har han vant sig vid doktorns sena nattbesök och farliga verksamhet. Men när en besökare dyker upp med kvarlevorna av en ung flicka, och med det monster som har ätit henne, förändras Wills värld för alltid. Monstret är en baby-antropofag - en huvudlös varelse som äter genom en mun i bröstkorgen - och det finns tecken som visar att antalet antropofager ökar i skrämmande snabb takt. Will och doktorn måste konfrontera denna fasa som hotar att ta över och förtära hela världen. RICK YANCEY är den amerikanska författaren bakom den storsäljande Den femte vågen-trilogin, som nu också är på väg att filmatiseras av Sony Pictures (den första filmen går upp på svenska biografer i januari 2016). Rick Yanceys böcker har kommit ut på över tjugo språk och han har vunnit en rad priser runt om i världen. Monstrumologen är den första av fyra böcker i hans hyllade The Monstrumologist-serie, som kombinerar H.u001aP. Lovecrafts viktorianska skräckteman med Rick Riordans berättarförmåga.

Segona part de l''espectacular trilogia èpica «La cinquena onada». Després de la cinquena onada... Els Altres busquen supervivents al mar infinit. La Cassie Sullivan i els seus companys han sobreviscut a les quatre onades destructores dels Altres. Ara que la raça humana està pràcticament exterminada i la cinquena onada ho arrasa tot, s''enfronten a un dilema: esperar l''Evan Walker o bé fugir per buscar d''altres supervivents abans de caure en mans de l''enemic. Consumits, però no derrotats. Assetjats, però no sotmesos. Ara ja no és una guerra d''humans contra alienígenes. És la lluita de l''esperança contra la desolació. De la fe contra la por. De l''amor contra l''odi. I la humanitat és el camp de batalla. Saben com penses, saben com matar-te. Creuen que no tens cap oportunitat. Però no saben... que no estàs sol.

De Vijfde Golf komt eraan, en de mensheid staat aan de vooravond van totale vernietiging. Cassie, Ben en Ringer overleefden de eerste vier Golven en staan voor een moeilijke keuze: wachten tot Evan Walker terugkomt, of op zoek gaan naar andere overlevenden vóór de vijand hen te pakken krijgt. Want dat er een nieuwe aanval komt is onvermijdelijk. Cassie en haar vrienden zullen de ultieme strijd moeten aangaan tussen hoop en wanhoop, leven en dood. We hebben de eerste vier Golven overleefd. We houden vol, maar de overwinning is nog ver weg. We hebben hoop, maar worden door haat verteerd. Ze denken dat we zwak zijn. Maar we zijn niet alleen. #oneindigezee

Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

Die erste Welle vernichtete eine halbe Million Menschen, die zweite noch viel mehr. Die dritte Welle dauerte ganze zwölf Wochen an, danach waren vier Milliarden tot. Nach der vierten Welle kann man niemandem mehr trauen. Cassie Sullivan hat überlebt, nur um sich jetzt in einer Welt wiederzufinden, die von Misstrauen, Verrat und Verzweiflung bestimmt wird. Und während die fünfte Welle ihren Verlauf nimmt, halten Cassie, Ben und Ringer ihre kleine Widerstandsgruppe zusammen, um gemeinsam gegen die Anderen zu kämpfen. Sie sind, was von der Menschheit übrig blieb, und sie werden sich so schnell nicht geschlagen geben. Und während Cassie immer noch hofft, dass ihr Retter Evan Walker lebt, wird der Kampf ums Überleben immer aussichtsloser. Bis eines Tages ein Fremder versucht, in ihr Versteck einzudringen...

La segunda parte de la espectacular trilogía épica La quinta ola. Después de la quinta ola... Los otros buscan supervivientes en el mar infinito. Cassie Sullivan y sus compañeros han sobrevivido a las cuatro olas de destrucción de los Otros. Ahora, con la raza humana prácticamente exterminada y la quinta ola arrasándolo todo, se enfrentan a una elección: esperar a Evan Walker o huir en búsqueda de otros supervivientes antes de que el enemigo los alcance. Consumidos, pero no derrotados. Acosados, pero no sometidos. Esta guerra ha dejado de ser de humano contra alienígenas. Es la lucha de la esperanza contra la desolación. De la fe contra el miedo. Del amor contra el odio. Y la humanidad es el campo de batalla. Saben cómo piensas, saben cómo matarte. Creen que no tienes ninguna oportunidad. Pero no saben... que no estás solo.

Comment débarrasser la Terre de ses sept milliards d''habitants ? Retirez aux hommes leur humanité... Cassie Sullivan et ses compagnons ont survécu aux quatre premières vagues destructrices lancées par les Autres. Maintenant que l''espèce humaine a été presque entièrement exterminée et que la 5e Vague déferle sur la planète, le groupe se trouve face à un choix : se préparer à affronter l''hiver en espérant le retour rapide d''Evan Walker, ou se mettre en quête d''éventuels survivants avant que l''ennemi ne referme sur eux son impitoyable piège. Personne ne peut prédire à quels abîmes de cruauté les Autres sont prêts à s''abaisser, ni à quelles hauteurs l''humanité saura se hisser. La bataille finale ne fait que commencer... Ils connaissent notre manière de penser. Ils savent comment nous exterminer. Ils nous ont enlevé toute raison de vivre. Ils viennent maintenant nous arracher ce pour quoi nous sommes prêts à mourir. Le deuxième tome de la trilogie phénomène, adaptée au cinéma par Tobey Maguire et les producteurs de World War Z, Argo, Hugo Cabret, Aviator, Gangs of New York, Ali.

Comment débarrasser la Terre de ses sept milliards d’habitants ? Retirez aux hommes leur humanité... Sortir vivant des quatre premières vagues relevait déjà du miracle. Cassie Sullivan se retrouve maintenant dans un nouveau monde, un monde dans lequel la confiance fondamentale qui reliait les hommes a totalement disparu. Tandis que la 5e Vague engloutit progressivement le paysage, Cassie, Ben et Ringer doivent faire face à la visée ultime des Autres : l’extermination pure et simple de l’espèce humaine. Cassie et ses amis ne savent pas encore jusqu’où les Autres sont prêts à s’abaisser. Les Autres, eux, ne savent pas non plus jusqu’à quelle hauteur l’humanité peut se hisser à l’aube de la bataille finale entre vie et mort, espoir et désespoir, amour et haine.
