Timothy Zahn’s upcoming novel Scoundrels, starring Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian, returns to the excitement of the classic Star Wars films. In this thrilling prequel eBook novella, Winner Lose All, Lando and a pair of unlikely allies find themselves involved in a dangerous game. Fortunately, Lando can survive against the odds—a skill that he will need in spades. Lando Calrissian’s no stranger to card tournaments, but this one has a truly electrifying atmosphere. That’s because the prize is a rare sculpture worth a whopping fifty million credits. If Lando’s not careful, he’s going to go bust, especially after meeting identical twins Bink and Tavia Kitik, master thieves who have reason to believe that the sculpture is a fake. The Kitiks are beautiful, dangerous, and determined to set things right—and they’ve convinced Lando to help them expose the scam. But what they’re up against is no simple double cross, nor even a twisted triple cross. It is a full-blown power play of colossal proportions. For an unseen mastermind holds all the cards and has a fail-proof solution for every problem: murder.

Segunda novela de la nueva trilogía de Thrawn. Novela canónica escrita por el autor best seller the Star Wars, Timothy Zahn. "He sentido una perturbación en la Fuerza". Palabras ominosas en cualquier circunstancia, pero más aún cuando las pronuncia el emperador Palpatine. En Batuu, en los límites de las Regiones Desconocidas , una amenaza para el Imperio está arraigando: su existencia es poco más que un destello, sus consecuencias aún no se conocen. Pero es lo suficientemente inquietante para el líder imperial como para justificar la investigación de sus agentes más poderosos: el implacable Lord Darth Vader y el brillante estratega Gran Almirante Thrawn. Rivales feroces por el favor del emperador y adversarios francos en los asuntos imperiales, incluido el proyecto Estrella de la Muerte.

Thrawn ha sido uno de los instrumentos más efectivos del Imperio, persiguiendo a sus enemigos hasta los límites de la galaxia conocida. Pero, aunque se ha convertido en un arma afiladísima, el Emperador sueña con algo mucho más destructivo. Ahora, cuando su programa de los Defensores TIE se cancela para dar prioridad al proyecto secreto de la Estrella de la Muerte del director Krennic, el Almirante se da cuenta de que los equilibrios de poder en el Imperio se basan en algo más que en la perspicacia militar o la e‐ciencia táctica. Ni siquiera los cerebros más brillantes pueden competir con el poder de destruir planetas enteros. Mientras Thrawn se esfuerza por garantizarse un sitio en la jerarquía imperial, su antiguo protegido, Eli Vanto, regresa con una grave advertencia sobre el mundo natal de Thrawn. Su dominio de la estrategia deberá guiar a Thrawn en una elección imposible: su compromiso con la Ascendencia Chiss o la lealtad al Imperio que ha jurado servir.

The fifth exciting Dragonback SF Adventure

THE EMPIRE STRIKES A DEAL The history of the planet Kariek has been one of seemingly endless violence— thanks to the constantly erupting revolutions among the many divided tribes of the native Eickarie race battling for dominance. Yet none of these tribes has held sway since a mysterious Warlord and his legion of alien mercenaries seized power and began a fifty-year reign of terror. Now, at last, the tide may be turning: the leaders of the warring Eickarie factions have forged an alliance—strong enough to capture a city and corner the Warlord and his minions in their fortress. And the post-Palpatine Empire of the Hand is lending support to this revolt against tyranny by deploying no less a fighting force than the Imperial 501st Legion of stormtroopers. Once infamously known as “Vader’s Fist,” the legendary 501st are the best men for the dangerous objective at hand—capturing the Warlord alive. It’s a risky mission that might be jeopardized when Imperial unit commander Twister and his comrades, Shadow, Cloud, and Watchman, are waylaid by a band of zealous freedom fighters, armed with their own agenda . . . and plenty of firepower. The Eickarie renegades—determined to free hundreds of their people from the Warlord’s dungeons—have an offer to make, and a strategy that could give the Imperials the edge in the bloody showdown to come. But can Twister and his men trust their new allies? Or will they get more than they bargain for? This novella includes an excerpt from the novel STAR WARS: SURVIVOR''S QUEST by Timothy Zahn and an interview with the author.

A NEW NOVEL IN THE ICARUS SERIES FROM NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE ADMIRAL THRAWN STAR WARS NOVELS TIMOTHY ZAHN For years Gregory Roarke and his Kadolian partner Selene worked as crocketts, combing through the atmospheres of uninhabited worlds for places that might be colonized or hold valuable resources. Now, they quietly work for the Icarus Group, a top-secret government organization hunting for portals created by a long-vanished alien race, portals that can teleport a person hundreds or thousands of light-years in the blink of an eye. Roarke and Selene are searching one such possibility when they find that someone appears to be stalking them. They evade their pursuers and return to find that a man named Easton Dent has been searching the Spiral’s databases for the names Gregory Roarke and Icarus. Roarke reluctantly agrees to meet with him. But that first contact is cut short, and hours later Roarke is arrested and accused of Dent’s murder. More importantly to Roarke’s Icarus Group overseers, that brief meeting also confirms that Dent was in recent contact with a portal. But the alien Patth are also searching for such portals, and they are also on the trail. It’s now a race . . . and the Patth have resources and ruthlessness far beyond anything Roarke and Selene can match. At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Praise for The Icarus Plot: “This is Zahn at his best—great characters and settings, great worldbuilding, great suspense, and just a ton of action and space opera fun . . . It’s also a passion project for the author, so if you enjoy Zahn, it’s not to be missed.” —Analog SF&F “There are plenty of little things to delight the longtime Zahn reader, while also bringing new fans in a way that is perfectly accessible . . . Zahn remains one of the best writers of action I have ever had the pleasure of reading . . . The Icarus Plot is pure fun in the way that only one of the genre’s greatest yarn-weavers can do.” —Warped Factor “Timothy Zahn is a mainstay in the field of science fiction.” —Seattle Book Review “Anyone who has ever been interested in noir science fiction and espionage should read this. Take the espionage of John le Carre, the deduction of Sherlock Holmes, the twisty nature of The Sting, and you have The Icarus Plot.” —Upstream Reviews About Timothy Zahn: “Zahn fans will enjoy the variety of small-unit combat scenes in the action-packed third and final Cobra Rebellion military SF adventure . . . [a] gripping series.” —Publishers Weekly “Zahn keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace, maintaining excitement.” —Publishers Weekly “. . . you can count on Timothy Zahn for three things: clean, sparse prose; good pacing; and great action scenes. The first book in the Cobra War series hits all those marks in admirable style and makes for a quick, entertaining sci-fi novel.” —BlogCritics “[Conqueror’s Heritage] is another finely wrought space adventure . . . [with] social, political, and emotional complications, all of which Zahn treats with his usual skill.” —Booklist “Zahn paints every detail [in Angelmass] with gleamy realism . . . scientific dialogue that streams with starship hardware and military trooper talk . . . immensely appealing.” —Kirkus Review

EARTH''S ONLY HOPE WAS THE COBRAS The colony worlds Adirondack and Silvern fell to the Troft forces almost without a struggle. Outnumbered and on the defensive, Earth made a desperate decision. It would attack the aliens not from space, but on the ground¾with forces the Trofts did not even suspect. Thus were created the Cobras, a guerilla force whose weapons were surgically implanted, invisible to the unsuspecting eye, yet undeniably deadly. But power brings temptation, and not all the Cobras could be trusted to fight for Earth alone. Jonny Moreau would learn the uses¾and abuses¾of his special abilities and what it truly meant to be a Cobra. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

All aboard the Quadrail for three tales of nonstop action from the #1 New York Times–bestselling and Hugo Award–winning author of Star Wars: Thrawn. It is the Quadrail—a miracle of design that connects all twelve of the galaxy’s inhabited empires, allowing diverse alien species and cultures to exchange ideas, inspire imaginations, build bridges of understanding . . . and orchestrate the subjugation of all living things. Night Train to Rigel: Frank Compton used to be an operative for Western Allied Intelligence. Then he blew the whistle on some shady dealings and got himself fired. Nowadays he just wants to lay low and let someone else do the galaxy’s dirty work. Unfortunately, no one does dirty work quite like Frank. And the robotic alien Spiders who maintain the Quadrail know it—which is why he’s going to work for them whether he likes it or not. The Third Lynx: After barely surviving his last mission, Compton just wants to relax with his gorgeous half-human partner, Bayta. But their reverie aboard the Quadrail is broken by a persistent human going on about alien artifacts. Then someone shuts him up permanently, and what begins as a murder leads Compton to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to engulf the entire galaxy. Odd Girl Out: Finally back on Earth, Compton is confronted in his apartment by a woman demanding that he rescue her ten-year-old sister. He brusquely shows her the door, only to be accused of her murder the next day. Determined to make things right, he heads to the world of New Tigris to find the little girl. But his adversaries, the mind-enslaving Mohdri, are waiting for him there. Together in a single volume, here are the first three books in the Quadrail series from a writer New York Times–bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson calls “a master of tactics [who] puts his own edge on complex hard-SF thrillers.”

NEW ENTRY IN THE ICARUS SAGA FROM NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR TIMOTHY ZAHN.

Book four in the nationally best-selling Manticore Ascendant series, set in the world of David Weber’s multiple New York Times best-selling Honorverse series. Yesterday, the Star Kingdom of Manticore was a small, unimportant interstellar backwater. A quiet little star nation, only recently recovered from the devastating blow of the Plague Years. More affluent than some, perhaps, but with little to attract trade or interstellar commerce, it had little need for a navy . . . and even less interest in paying for one. But Manticore has now become a target. The Star Kingdom isn''t certain who is attacking it, or why, or what its mysterious foe can possibly want, but Queen Elizabeth I knows she has to find out. And she knows that whatever some of her subjects think, Manticore does need a navy. And it needs allies, friends like the dynamic Republic of Haven and the Andermani Empire. It needs their trade . . . and to learn from their more experienced and powerful navies. It is the job of officers like Travis Long and his wife, Lisa, to acquire that experience. Of utterly inexperienced diplomats like Travis''s brother Gavin, Earl Winterfall, to build those alliances. They have been sent to the powerful Andermani Empire to do just that, for the Imperial Navy is one of the most potent and experienced fleets in the galaxy. But the Andermani have problems of their own. Their Emperor''s death is the trigger for insurrection, and now that powerful and experienced navy is locked in civil war. The Manticoran visitors find themselves squarely in the path of the storm, and before Travis, Lisa, and Gavin can accomplish anything else, they first have to survive. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life . . . the two things his neglectful mother couldnu0090t or wouldnu0090t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought heu0090d finally found the structure heu0090d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isnu0090t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction. The Star Kingdom is a minor nation among the worlds of the Diaspora, its closest neighbors weeks or months away, with little in the way of resources. With only modest interstellar trade, no foreign contacts to speak of, a plague-ravaged economy to rebuild, and no enemies looming at the hyper limit, there are factions in Parliament who want nothing more than to scrap the Navy and shift its resources and manpower elsewhere.

HOPING TO TAKE POSSESSION OF A NEW ALIEN STAR-HOPPING PORTAL, ROARKE AND SELENCE ARE TASKED WITH TRANSPORTING AN ASSASSIN, WHO IS HERSELF BEING TARGETED. For years Gregory Roarke and his Kadolian partner Selene worked as crocketts, combing through the atmospheres of uninhabited worlds for places that might be colonized or hold valuable resources. Now, they work for the Icarus Group, a top-secret government organization hunting for portals created by a long-vanished alien race, portals that can teleport a person hundreds or thousands of light-years in the blink of an eye. Usually, those hunts are long and tedious. But Roarke has now been handed an intriguing offer. A criminal boss, Robertine Cherno, will hand over a hitherto unknown portal to the Icarus Group in exchange for Roarke and Selene agreeing to transport a passenger named Nikki across the Spiral. There’s only one catch. Nikki is a professional, high-priced, highly feared assassin. And she’s on the job. That would have been bad enough. But when the alien Patth also move to gain possession of the portal, bad quickly promises to go to worse. Especially when it becomes clear that Nikki herself is being hunted by someone. It’s up to Roarke and Selene to untangle the mysteries and get to the truth before they become someone’s collateral damage.

Die Helden der Rebellion müssen tief in den imperialen Raum vordringen und dabei vor allem die Antwort auf eine Frage finden: Wer oder was ist die Hand von Thrawn? »Großadmiral Thrawn – Die Legende« ist die erfolgreichste Star-Wars-Buchtrilgoie aller Zeiten. »Die Hand von Thrawn« ist die spektakuläre Fortsetzung, und endlich ist auch diese Trilogie wieder lieferbar. »Die Hand von Thrawn« ist wie »Großadmiral Thrawn – Die Legende« eine Star-Wars-Legends-Trilogie. Die beschriebenen Geschehnisse können daher von der Geschichte der Filme und Streamingserien abweichen.

Neste segundo livro da épica trilogia Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy, Thrawn e seus aliados correm para salvar a Ascendência Chiss de um inimigo invisível. O último triunfo de Thrawn ainda está fresco em seus ombros. Ele liderou os Chiss à vitória e trouxe glória para a Casa Mitth, mas a verdadeira ameaça à Ascendência ainda não foi extinta. Os inimigos não mandam avisos nem ultimatos, não reúnem naves na fronteira do Caos. As armas vêm disfarçadas de sorrisos e generosidade: presentes oferecidos de boa vontade; serviços incondicionais. Por toda a Ascendência, eventos aparentemente inconsequentes podem significar a ruína dos Chiss. À medida que Thrawn e a Frota de Defesa Expansionária se unem para desvendar uma conspiração, eles descobrem uma verdade perturbadora: em vez de invadir capitais Chiss ou saquear recursos, os inimigos atacam a própria fundação da Ascendência, instigando as desavenças entre as Nove Famílias Governantes e as Quarenta Grandes Casas abaixo delas. Enquanto rivalidade e suspeitas semeiam discórdia entre aliados, cada guerreiro deve decidir o que mais importa para eles: a segurança de suas famílias ou a sobrevivência da Ascendência.

Z Nirauanu, planety, na níž se kdysi usadil imperiální admirál Thrawn, a ze které se Lukovi a Maře podařilo uprchnout jen o vlásek, přichází šokující zpráva – po padesáti letech byly na okraji galaxie nalezeny zbytky Mezigalaktické výpravy, průkopnické expedice rytířů Jedi, kterou Thrawn zákeřně zničil.

Od událostí popsaných v šesté epizodě Star Wars uplynulo pět let: Aliance zničila novou Hvězdu smrti a porazila Dartha Vadera a císaře. Avšak tisíce světelných let daleko se velení nad zbytky imperiální flotily ujímá poslední z císařových nejvyšších velitelů velkoadmirál Thrawn, který je dokáže stmelit a připravit k válce vedené přímo proti křehkému srdci Nové republiky. Strhující příběh plný akce, dobrodružství a mystického tajemství plným právem patří do zlatého fondu románů Star Wars.
