Une forêt d'étoiles (Saga des Sept Soleils, #2)

A novel based on the Emmy Award-winning television series created by Chris Carter. When a disease-ravaged body is found in the smoldering ruins of the federally funded DyMar genetic research lab, Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully fear that a deadly, man-made plague is on the loose. As the FBI agents investigating the "X-Files" -- cases the bureau has deemed unsolvable -- Mulder and Scully pursue the truth wherever it leads, even into the labyrinthine corridors of the FBI... and beyond. Racing to contain the lethal virus before it can spread, Mulder and Scully make a chilling discovery. Before his death, Dr. David Kennessy, a hotshot cancer researcher at DyMar, had been experimenting with a promising but highly dangerous technology: microscopic bio-machines that can cure any disease, heal any wound. In theory, this research could be a miracle cure, perhaps even a doorway to immortality. It was also the only way Dr. Kennessy could save his leukemia-stricken son. But when a second corpse turns up, savagely mutilated from within, it's anything but theoretical. Could machines created to cure have learned to kill? Scrambling for answers, Mulder and Scully are opposed at every step by faceless enemies with all the resources of the government -- even perhaps of their own agency -- at their command. Enemies who will stop at nothing to ensure that the secret of immortality falls in the right hands -- their hands. As sinister forces close in, Scully fights to save the life of an innocent boy while Mulder comes face to face with a crazed and desperate man. A man whose slightest touch brings agonizing death -- and perhaps a resurrection more horrible still.

The X-Files: Antibodies

Two years before Dune.The never-before-told story of two of the most pivotal women in the life of Paul Muad'Dib Atreides-an Imperial princess, and a Fremen warrior. Princess Irulan, eldest daughter of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, grew up in luxury and splendor in the Imperial Palace. Surrounded by political machinations and diplomatic crises, she is treated as little more than a pawn for her father, to be married off to the highest bidder. But Irulan also has intense training from the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, and she does not consider herself to be a helpless game piece. She must balance her loyalty to the Imperium with her commitment to the Bene Gesserit and its breeding program . and her own aspirations to become a writer and chronicler. Chani, daughter of Imperial Planetologist Liet-Kynes, was raised on Arrakis among the Fremen, learning intimate, secret ways of the desert. She is passionate about winning freedom for her people from the ruthless Harkonnens. But her father serves two masters-the Imperium and the Fremen-and wants Chani to learn both sides of the coin for her own survival, and to help their beloved Dune. Experience the spectacle and intrigue of the Imperial court and hidden assassins, the clandestine inner workings of the Spacing Guild, and a bloody mutiny in the Imperial military . as well as the harsh realities of a desert world, with dangerous spice blows and fierce sandstorms.

Princess of Dune

In Clockwork Angels, #1 bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson and legendary Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart created a fabulous, adventurous steampunk world in a novel to accompany the smash Rush concept album of the same name. It was a world of airships and alchemy, clockwork carnivals, pirates, lost cities, a rigid Watchmaker who controlled every aspect of life, and his nemesis, the ruthless and violent Anarchist who wanted to destroy it all. Anderson and Peart have returned to their colorful creation to explore the places and the characters that still have a hold on their imagination. Marinda Peake is a woman with a quiet, perfect life in a small village; she long ago gave up on her dreams and ambitions to take care of her ailing father, an alchemist and an inventor. When he dies, he gives Marinda a mysterious inheritance: a blank book that she must fill with other people's stories - and ultimately her own. Clockwork Lives is a steampunk Canterbury Tales, and much more, as Marinda strives to change her life from a mere "sentence or two" to a true epic.

Clockwork Lives

Ce volume relie l'Avant et l'Après-Dune à travers des textes de Frank Herbert lui-même et demeurés inédits, qui se situent à l'époque du premier "Dune" : la fondation des Soeurs du Bene Gesserit, les Maîtres d'escrime de Ginaz, les impitoyables Harkonnen et Muad'Dib, le Kwisatz Haderach, qui marche vers son écrasant destin de prophète. Et puis, la guerre de toujours entre les Harkonnen et les Atréides dans une sublime nouvelle : « Le murmure des vents de Caladan ».

Dune : la route de Dune

Il existe au F.B.I. un service à part, qui s'occupe des affaires " non classées ". Des affaires qui dérangent. Mulder, spécialiste du paranormal, et sa partenaire Scully, une scientifique sceptique, sont chargés de ces cas insolites. Eux savent que la vérité est ailleurs... La jeune archéologue progressait à tâtons vers le coeur de la pyramide maya oubliée depuis des siècles. Soudain, elle entrevit une surface métallique, parfaitement lisse. Elle recula : " Non, ce n'est pas possible... Ce ne sont que des légendes ! " Ses mots résonnèrent dans les Couloirs du temple. Et, pendant ce temps, sous le soleil implacable de la jungle, des rafales d'armes automatiques claquaient... Mulder et Scully, partis enquêter sur la disparition d'une équipe d'archéologues américains, se retrouvent à Xitaclan, la capitale des Mayas, la ville perdue où, dit-on, sont concentrées toutes les forces mystiques des temps anciens. Seuls, ils vont tenter de résoudre des énigmes sur lesquelles se penchent les historiens depuis plus de mille ans. Et les réponses qu'ils vont trouver risquent de faire trembler les fondations de notre monde moderne. Un monde dominé par la peur et l'envie... Une fois de plus, Mulder et Scully sont seuls, aux Frontières du réel...
