Расскажет о похождениях трёх Богов, в то время, когда они ещё были частью Пантеона Высших. Каждая книга это отдельная история, только с одним-двумя общими персонажами - богами, чьё участие в судьбах смертных или бессмертных, повлекло за собой цепь любопытных событий. Некоторые книги, скажем так, зачин историй рассказанных в этих книгах, устроен по вине самих Богов. В других, зачин на совести смертных или бессмертных, вынудивших Богов вмешаться. Главными героями этой серии неизменно остаются лишь трое: Лаар - Повелитель Кристалла и Камня. Токтолион - Владыка Времён. Агаменнон - Повелевающей Межмировой Тьмой. Книги самостоятельные, порядок чтения не важен. Название книги ------- действительно дефисами, отсутствует и описание - это такая задумка автора, а не ошибка

Прошло 12 лет, как вирус, лечащий все болезни, включая саму смерть (правда довольно странным образом) вырвался на свободу

Вы живете сегодняшним днем и не замечаете признаков надвигающейся катастрофы, которая уничтожит не только ваш привычный уклад жизни, но и всю вашу страну. Неожиданные и беспощадные социальные потрясения, описанные от лица обычного российского студента, волею обстоятельств вынужденного пересечь европейскую часть России в самый разгар Великой Смуты, изложены так достоверно и убедительно, что поневоле начинаешь вздрагивать, когда в реальных новостях дикторы вдруг озвучивают цитаты из этого романа. Будем надеяться, эти события так и останутся вымышленными. Но если все же авторский прогноз подтвердится, вы узнаете, что делать, вместе с главными героями романа - троицей обыкновенных питерских парней, победивших там, где отступило целое государство. Впрочем, победа ценой психического здоровья - слишком высокая цена, не правда ли?

Не думай, что там было в прошлом. Не спрашивай, что будет позже. Мир состоит из хлебных крошек... Недалёкое будущее, где общество разделено на три категории имеющих разные права и обязанности. Ожидая мировую катастрофу каждому предстоит сделать выбор: остаться человеком или следовать строгим правилам

Мир после экологической катастрофы. От неизвестной болезни погибли четыре основных культуры, кормившие человечество, и начался Голод. Из шести миллиардов выжила десятая часть, и основная задача теперь — прокормить тех, кто остался. Леса вырублены, все плодородные земли распаханы, а искусство, образование, наука и медицина принесены в жертву; в примитивном аграрном обществе они не нужны, опасны и превращаются в ересь. Каких-то пятидесяти лет оказывается достаточно, чтобы наступило новое Средневековье, безжалостное и дремучее. Люди снова нужны только затем, чтобы тяжело работать, воспроизвести новую рабочую силу и умереть на пороге старости. И только дряхлые свидетели прежней жизни, грамотные испуганные «умники», могут хотя бы попытаться что-то изменить. Текст соответствует аудиокниге, записанной продюсерским центром «Вимбо» в 2018 году.

Вожак стоял на расчищенной от деревьев и кустарника площадке, между зданием станции и ближайшим составом. На нем была удлиненная одежда из волчьих шкур, мехом вовнутрь, с нашитыми поверх шкуры растянутыми человеческими лицами, за плечом вожака виднелся довоенный пластиковый лук для спортивной стрельбы, и колчан со стрелами. Одни «маски» на волчьей шкуре изображали ужас и боль, другие «улыбались». Голову вожака накрывал капюшон, сделанный из волчьей морды так, что издалека он был похож на египетского бога Анубиса. Перед вождем стояли одетые в шкуры и какие-то лохмотья люди. Людей было не меньше полусотни. Вооруженные копьями и топорами, обросшие бородами, с колтунами в грязных волосах, и безбородые (среди них были и женщины) все они смотрели на него с ожиданием. У ног вожака лежал труп человека с признаками явно насильственной смерти. Это был бритый наголо мужчина, одетый в куртку из хорошо выделанной черной кожи и темно-серые штаны. На ногах были высокие ботинки. На правом виске мертвеца вытатуировано изображение молнии, стилизованное под латинскую «S»

THE MOST POWERFUL STORY YOU’LL READ THIS YEAR

A Canticle for Leibowitz is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by American writer Walter M. Miller, Jr., first published in 1960. Based on three short stories Miller contributed to the science fiction magazine The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction; it is the only novel published by the author during his lifetime. Considered one of the classics of science fiction, it has never been out of print and has seen over 25 reprints and editions. Appealing to mainstream and genre critics and readers alike, it won the 1961 Hugo Award for best science fiction novel. Set in a Roman Catholic monastery in the desert of the Southwestern United States after a devastating nuclear war, the story spans thousands of years as civilization rebuilds itself. The monks of the Albertian Order of Leibowitz take up the mission of preserving the surviving remnants of man's scientific knowledge until the day the outside world is again ready for it. Inspired by the author's participation in the Allied bombing of the monastery at Monte Cassino during World War II, the novel is considered a masterpiece by literary critics. It has been compared favorably with the works of Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, and Walker Percy, and its themes of religion, recurrence, and church versus state have generated a significant body of scholarly research. Miller's follow-up work, Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman, was published posthumously in 1997. (Wikipedia)

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, two women seek to preserve the small treasury of books available to them—a gift of knowledge and hope for future generations. “[A] poignant expression of the durability, grace, and potential of the human spirit.” In the 21st Century, civilization is crumbling under the burden of overpopulation, economic chaos, petty wars, a horrific pandemic, and finally, a nuclear war that inevitably results in a deadly nuclear winter. On the Oregon Coast, two women, writer Mary Hope and painter Rachel Morrow, scratch out a minimal existence as farmers. In what little time is available to them, they embark on the project that they hope will offer the gift of knowledge to future generations of survivors—the preservation of the books: those available from their own collections and any they find at nearby abandoned houses. For years, Mary and Rachel are satisfied to labor at this task in their solitude, but a day comes when they encounter a young man who comes from a group of survivors on the southern coast. They call their community the Ark. An incredibly hopeful meeting, it might seem, until Rachel and Mary realize that the Arkites believe in only one book—the Judeo-Christian bible—and regard all other books as blasphemous. “Wren’s post-nuclear world rings true, as do her compelling depictions of the subsistence-level daily life.” “[Wren’s] passionate concern with what gives life meaning carries the novel.”

The Yellowstone Caldera has erupted once every 600,000 years. We’re 40,000 years overdue. Lava flows stretch for hundreds of miles.

In a mutated and desolate future, where a corrupt government, commerce barons, and renegades fight for control, a group of scavengers has to choose self-preservation or save what’s left of humanity

Centuries after wars nearly destroyed civilization, the two islands of New Pacifica stand alone, a terraformed paradise where even the Reduction—the devastating brain disorder that sparked the wars—is a distant memory. Yet on the isle of Galatea, an uprising against the ruling aristocrats has turned deadly. The revolutionaries’ weapon is a drug that damages their enemies’ brains, and the only hope is rescue by a mysterious spy known as the Wild Poppy. On the neighboring island of Albion, no one suspects that the Wild Poppy is actually famously frivolous aristocrat Persis Blake. The teenager uses her shallow, socialite trappings to hide her true purpose: her gossipy flutternotes are encrypted plans, her pampered sea mink is genetically engineered for spying, and her well-publicized new romance with handsome Galatean medic Justen Helo… is her most dangerous mission ever. Though Persis is falling for Justen, she can’t risk showing him her true self, especially once she learns he’s hiding far more than simply his disenchantment with his country’s revolution and his undeniable attraction to the silly socialite he’s pretending to love. His darkest secret could plunge both islands into a new dark age, and Persis realizes that when it comes to Justen Helo, she’s not only risking her heart, she’s risking the world she’s sworn to protect. In this thrilling adventure inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel, Diana Peterfreund creates an exquisitely rendered world where nothing is as it seems and two teens with very different pasts fight for a future only they dare to imagine

In her new collection, Story Prize finalist Maureen F. McHugh delves into the dark heart of contemporary life and life five minutes from now and how easy it is to mix up one with the other. Her stories are post-bird flu, in the middle of medical trials, wondering if our computers are smarter than us, wondering when our jobs are going to be outsourced overseas, wondering if we are who we say we are, and not sure what we’d do to survive the coming zombie plague. Praise for Maureen F. McHugh: “Gorgeously crafted stories.” “Hauntingly beautiful.” “Unpredictable and poetic work.”

Only the Strong Survive. They called it “The Fall”—the total collapse of the United States and the American way of life. Within twelve months, eighty percent of the population is gone. After a time, even the military stops trying to cope and pulls back to the coasts, leaving the interior, from the Alleghenies to the Rockies, on its own. Now, the remnant of Americans left in the depopulated cities and the wilderness that used to be the breadbasket of the world are becoming increasingly desperate, doing anything it takes to survive. In this new America, though, death is always just a heartbeat away. John Trent has survived because he is better at killing than those around him, but he’s getting tired of constantly living on the edge of his wits. As a courier for the army, he’s alway on the move, dodging raiders… and he doesn’t know how much longer he can go on. Then he meets a girl who gives him a reason. But the discovery of a serial killer stalking the forests, killing young women in a horrific and brutal fashion, makes John realize he can’t abandon his skill at the hunt quite yet. Beyond that, a particularly vicious band of raiders is set to descend on a new settlement John has been ordered to protect ahead of a new repopulation effort. Caught in the middle, will he live long enough to enjoy his newfound love, or simply become the latest victim of the anarchy and chaos of the New American Frontier?

For decades, Nuclear Armageddon hanged over us like a mighty sword. Some said it would be the war to end all wars. They were wrong. The real battle against extinction was just beginning. This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with many nuclear bombs detonated around the planet. It was no longer a topic of conversation around the dinner table as in years past. Nobody was prepared, including the world’s governments. Yet the threat was always real and the devastation was predictable. The damage was incalculable. Millions died at the points of impact. Nuclear Winter spread across the globe. A rapidly cooling climate shocked humanity and all living things… to their death. This is more than the story of nuclear conflict. It’s about the devastating effects wrought by Nuclear Winter. Our possible future is seen through the eyes of the Albright family whose roots stretch back to the early settlement of the Florida Keys. While they fight for survival, they trek across a rapidly deteriorating landscape wrought with danger from both the elements and their fellow man. It was not our fight, but it became our problem. Bobby Akart has delivered intense, up-all-night thrillers that have you whispering just one more chapter until the end
