A powerful tale of betrayal, trickery and sheer human grit from a dream-team of authors

Hunter's Rune

Nous sommes en 1986. Depuis qu'il a frappé la Terre quarante ans plus tôt, le virus Wild Card n'a cessé de se répandre, tuant une grande partie de la population, produisant quelques aces, des êtres aux pouvoirs surnaturels, et beaucoup de jokers, des humains amoindris et difformes. Aujourd'hui confrontés à un ennemi venu des profondeurs de l'espace et à son alliée sur Terre, une secte maçonnique, les héros créés par George R.R. Martin et ses complices (Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, Pat Cadigan...) ne sont pas au bout de leurs surprises.

Dragon de glace

Honnête marchand interstellaire amoureux des chats, Haviland Tuf se retrouve par hasard en possession de l'Arche, un gigantesque vaisseau long de trente kilomètres abandonné mille ans plus tôt qui attire les convoitises. Arme de guerre ultime créée par les éco-scientifiques de l'ancienne Terre, il contient à son bord les technologies génétiques capables de bouleverser les écosystèmes de planètes entières et... d'étranges créatures nées de ses cuves de clonage. Auteur de la saga du TRÔNE DE FER, George R.R. Martin s'essaie ici avec bonheur au space opéra !

Le voyage de Haviland Tuf

Au royaume des Sept Couronnes, une longue période d'été, de paix et d'apparente prospérité s'est achevée. Les forces obscures de l'hiver se dressent derrière le Mur qui protège la frontière nord. Au sud, les prétendants au Trône de Fer usent de complots, de poison et de magie pour arriver à leurs fins...

Le Trône de Fer (L'intégrale 2 illustrée)

A century before A GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros...
          
          
            A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin''s ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.
          
          Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg.
          A young, naive but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.
          Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.

A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS

HBO's hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin's internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age.

 George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series has set the benchmark for contemporary epic fantasy. Labelled by Time magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world, Martin has conjured a world as complex and vibrant as that of J. R. R. Tolkien's, populated by a huge cast of fascinating, complex characters, and boasting a history that stretches back twelve thousand years.

 Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war for control of the Seven Kingdoms; the defence of the towering Wall of ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others; and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and the last live dragons in the world.

 The HBO adaption of A Game of Thrones has aired worldwide and proved so popular that a second season was commissioned.

Le trône de fer (A game of Thrones)

Guerrières, souveraines, sorcières, muses, conspiratrices, cavalières, intrigantes... Les femmes de ces nouvelles sont dangereuses, chacune à sa manière. George R.R. Martin et son compère de toujours, Gardner Dozois, ont convoqué les plus fines lames de l'imaginaire pour leur rendre hommage. Alors que le premier volet de cette anthologie rassemblait les plumes masculines, ce sont ici les auteures qui sont l'honneur : Megan Lindholm, Diana Gabaldon, Nancy Kress, Sherrilyn Kenyon...
