New Releases by Stephen R. Donaldson

Author of "The Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant, one of the most acclaimed fantasy series of all time, master storyteller Stephen R. Donaldson retums with this exciting and long-awaited new series that takes us into a stunningly imagined future to tell a timeless story of adventure and the implacable conflict of good and evil within each of us. Angus Thermopyle was an ore pirate and a murderer; even the most disreputable asteroid pilots of Delta Sector stayed locked out of his way. Those who didn''t ended up in the lockup--or dead. But when Thermopyle arrived at Mallory''s Bar & Sleep with a gorgeous woman by his side the regulars had to take notice. Her name was Morn Hyland, and she had been a police officer--until she met up with Thermopyle. But one person in Mallorys Bar wasn''t intimidated. Nick Succorso had his own reputation as a bold pirate and he had a sleek frigate fitted for deep space. Everyone knew that Thermopyle and Succorso were on a collision course. What nobody expected was how quickly it would be over--or how devastating victory would be. It was common enough example of rivalry and revenge--or so everyone thought. The REAL story was something entirely different. In "The Real Story, Stephen R. Donaldson takes us to a remarkably detailed world of faster-than-light travel, politics, betrayal, and a shadowy presence just outside our view to tell the fiercest, most profound story he has ever written.

Science fiction.

Térisa vit dans un bel appartement. Elle travaille pour une cause humanitaire. Mais elle n''a ni amour ni amitiés, seulement une peur : être irréelle, être vouée à disparaître sans que nul n''y prenne garde. Alors, elle s''est entourée de miroirs pour voir son image. Au moins cela. Un soir surgit Géraden, un jeune homme beau et aimable, qui lui demande de sauver son monde. Parce qu''il ne peut s''agir que d''un rêve, elle le suit dans le royaume de Mordant, où les miroirs sont instruments de pouvoir et de magie, fenêtres ouvertes sur d''autres espaces, armes de salut ou d''horreur selon ceux qui les utilisent, le Congrègat des Imageurs du roi Joyse ou les agents cachés d''autres puissances... Quand Térisa répond à l''appel de Mordant, elle s''y trouve en pleine tourmente ; d''abord spectatrice perdue, elle sera bientôt forcée d''agir, pour survivre et pour protéger ceux qui lui portent intérêt. Elle devra s''essayer à la haute politique, éviter les assassins lancés à ses trousses, subir l''émoi de son corps, les élans de son coeur, mais aussi craindre et espérer à la fois les pouvoirs qui sont en elle sans oser rêver de sauver ce monde.

The most accessible tale yet from the creator of the bestselling Thomas Covenant series; a rich, fully rounded epic of love and lust, power and court politics in a mythical land.
