"Il se peut que l'amour et la solitude comptent parmi mes thèmes favoris, mais mon thème numéro un à ce jour reste indiscutablement l'éternelle confrontation entre la réalité et le romantisme, et la façon dont la première détruit toujours le deuxième". Et pourtant ils luttent, les héros de ces neuf nouvelles : celui-ci pour concrétiser ses rêves d'enfant, ceux-là, contre la décrépitude d'un monde, celle-ci pour retrouver son amour perdu entre les dimensions... Et si la réalité les rattrape toujours, elle ne parvient jamais à tuer tout à fait l'espoir qu'ils portent en eux.

L'ombre maléfique (Le trône de fer, #4)

George R. R. Martin's epic fantasy masterwork A Song of Ice and Fire is brought to life in the pages of this full-colour graphic novel. This is the first part of a four-volume adaptation of the second book in the series, A Clash of Kings.

 The four-part graphic novel adaptation of A Game of Thrones proved that George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has the power to enchant in any medium. Now the story continues as New York Times bestselling author Landry Q. Walker and illustrator Mel Rubi introduce a thrilling new series based on the second book in the landmark saga.

 Time is out of joint. The summer of peace and plenty, ten years long, is drawing to a close, and the harsh, chill winter approaches like an angry beast. Two great leaders-Lord Eddard Stark and King Robert Baratheon-who held sway over an age of enforced peace are dead, victims of royal treachery. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding walls of Winterfell, chaos reigns as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms prepare to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war.

 As a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky-a comet the color of blood and flame-six factions struggle for control of a divided land. Eddard's son Robb has declared himself King in the North. In the south, Joffrey, the heir apparent, rules in name only, victim of the scheming courtiers who teem over King's Landing. Robert Baratheon's two brothers each seek his own dominion, while a disfavored house turns once more to conquest. And a continent away, an exiled queen, the Mother of Dragons, risks everything to lead her precious brood across a hard, hot desert to win back the crown that is rightfully hers.

 Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of glory may be measured in blood. And the spoils of victory may just go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel .

Le Trône de Fer, L'intégrale Tome 4

Plongé dans le chaos, le royaume des Sept Couronnes est en proie à une formidable pandémie de violence. Les héritiers du souverain défunt se disputent le trône dans d'âpres et sanglants combats, et les puissants seigneurs, ralliés aux diverses causes, négligent tout égard pour le peuple, qui supporte souffrances et famine. Les ennemis jurés, Catelyn et Tyrion, fourbissent chacun leurs armes. Catelyn Stark rejoint Renly Baratheon à la tête des forces de Haut jardin et d'Accalmie, tandis que Tyrion Lannister ourdit de nouvelles alliances et prépare Port-Réal à repousser le futur siège, mais un nouveau péril se profile : une ombre qui plane, frappe les rois et renverse les citadelles... Bernard Métraux prête sa voix multiforme à une pléiade de personnages qui tissent à travers leurs forces, leurs faiblesses, leurs accès de fureur et de folie, l'histoire du Royaume et de ses intrigues fascinantes.

Dangerous Women Part 3

Law & Order meets Men in Black in this graphic novel adaptation of a TV pilot script by the author of A Game of Thrones. Ideal for fans of Saga.

 Second City. First Contact.

 Ten years ago, representatives from an interstellar collective of 314 alien species landed on Earth, inviting us to become number 315. Now, after seemingly endless delays, the Starport in Chicago is operational, a destination for diplomats, merchants, and tourists alike. Inside, visitors are governed by intergalactic treaty. Outside, the streets belong to Chicago's finest.

 Charlie Baker, newly promoted to the squad that oversees the Starport district, is eager to put to practical use his enthusiasm for all things extraterrestrial; he just never expected to arrive on his first day in the back of a police cruiser.

 Lieutenant Bobbi Kelleher is married to the job, which often puts her in conflict with Lyhanne Nhar-Lys, security champion of Starport and one of the galaxy's fiercest warriors.

 Undercover with a gang of anti-alien extremists, Detective Aaron Stein has no problem mixing business with pleasure - until he stumbles upon evidence of a plot to assassinate a controversial trade envoy with a cache of stolen ray guns. Now the Chicago PD must stop these nutjobs before they piss off the entire universe.

 Based on a TV pilot script written by George R. R. Martin and adapted and illustrated by Hugo Award-nominated artist Raya Golden, this bold and brilliant graphic novel adaptation brings Martin's singular vision to rollicking life. With all the intrigue, ingenuity, and atmosphere that made A Game of Thrones a worldwide phenomenon, Starport launches a new chapter in the career of a sci-fi/fantasy superstar.
