Bøger af Max Gladstone

Magi findes, og nogle bøger bider fra sig. Følg Sal Brooks, den seneste rekrut på en hemmelig magisk mission, mens hun rejser verden rundt for at holde overnaturlige kræfter i skak. Men husk: Hold øjnene åbne, og rør ikke ved noget.

I 1970’erne raser Den Kolde Krig i Prags mørke gyder. Samtidig udspiller der sig en gammel konflikt mellem to okkulte samfund: Isen og Flammen. Engang havde den amerikanske CIA-agent Gabe Pritchard troet, at den eneste hemmelige verden, der fandtes, var den, som han levede og arbejdede i. Det ændrede sig under en udsending til Kairo, hvor et magisk væsen trængte ind og bosatte sig i hans hoved. På den modsatte side står heksen Tanya Morozova, som viste loyalitet over for Isen, længe før hun blev agent hos det russiske statspoliti, KBG. Begge agenter får nu sat loyaliteten over for deres land på prøve, når de indser, at de må arbejde sammen for at forhindre Flammen i at ødelægge verden.SLX

A feminist Guardians of the Galaxy - a smart, swashbuckling, wildly imaginative adventure of a rag-tag team of brilliant misfits, dangerous renegades, and enhanced outlaws in a war-torn future.

After the God Wars, the city of Dresediel Lex bears the scars of liberation. As long as the gods' wards last, they strangle development; when they fail, demons will be leased upon the city. The King in Red hires Elayne, Albrecht, and Ao to fix the wards, both to protect the city from certain doom and to lay a new foundation for prosperity.
