Ringil Eskiath, scarred wielder of the kiriath-forged broadsword Ravensfriend, is a man on the run - from his past and the family who have disowned him, from the slave trade magnates of Trelayne who want him dead, and apparently from the dark gods themselves, who are taking an interest but making no more sense than they ever have.

Science fiction. Takeshi Kovacs is an Envoy, a soldier trained to withstand transfer from one body to the next. He is employed (resleeved) by a Meth (as in Methuselah) billionaire who was killed (and subsequently resleeved) and who wants to know how and why

Compared to Michael Moorcock and Joe Abercrombie alike, Richard Morgan's fast moving and brutal science fantasy reaches its final volume as Ringil comes to his final reckoning and sees the world tipping into another war with the dragon folk. And, most terrifying of all, the prophecy of a dark lord come to rule may be coming true very close to home... THE DARK DEFILES is a supremely fast moving 240,000 word epic. A massive yet tight story that both shines a light on some mysteries from earlier volumes and reveals deeper mysteries yet. We encounter the artifacts of an ancient race, learn the true story of the ghostly Dwenda and follow three old friends as they face their greatest test yet.

This is high action, ideas driven noir SF of the highest order. Morgan has already established himself as an SF author of global significance. Takeshi Kovacs has come home. Home to Harlan's World. An ocean planet with only 5% of its landmass poking above the dangerous and unpredictable seas. Try and get above the weather in anything more sophisticated than a helicopter and the Martian orbital platforms will burn you out of the sky. And death doesn't just wait for you in the seas and the skies. On land, from the tropical beaches and swamps of Kossuth to the icy, machine-infested wastes of New Hokkaido the hard won gains of the Quellist revolution have been lost. The First Families, the corporations and the Yakuza have a stranglehold on everything. Embarked on a journey of implacable retribution for a lost love, Kovacs is blown off course and into a maelstrom of political intrigue and technological mystery as the ghosts of Harlan's World and his own violent past rise to claim their due. Quellcrist Falconer is back from the dead, they say, and hunting her down for the First Families is a savage young Envoy called Kovacs who's been in storage

Richard Morgan has always been one of our most successful SF authors with his fast-moving and brutal storylines, blistering plots and a powerful social conscience behind his work. And now he's back, with his first SF novel for eight years . . . and it promises to be a publication to remember. An ex-corporate enforcer, Hakan Veil, is forced to bodyguard Madison Madekwe, part of a colonial audit team investigating a disappeared lottery winner on Mars. But when Madekwe is abducted, and Hakan nearly killed, the investigation takes him farther and deeper than he had ever expected. And soon Hakan discovers the heavy price he may have to pay to learn the truth.

The extraordinary new novel from one of the brightest stars of British SF takes mankind to the brink of a terrifying secret.

The future isn’t what it used to be since Richard K. Morgan arrived on the scene. He unleashed Takeshi Kovacs–private eye, soldier of fortune, and all-purpose antihero–into the body-swapping, hard-boiled, urban jungle of tomorrow in Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, and Woken Furies, winning the Philip K. Dick Award in the process. In Market Forces, he launched corporate gladiator Chris Faulkner into the brave new business of war-for-profit. Now, in Thirteen, Morgan radically reshapes and recharges science fiction yet again, with a new and unforgettable hero in Carl Marsalis: hybrid, hired gun, and a man without a country . . . or a planet. Marsalis is one of a new breed. Literally. Genetically engineered by the U.S. government to embody the naked aggression and primal survival skills that centuries of civilization have erased from humankind, Thirteens were intended to be the ultimate military fighting force. The project was scuttled, however, when a fearful public branded the supersoldiers dangerous mutants, dooming the Thirteens to forced exile on Earth’s distant, desolate Mars colony. But Marsalis found a way to slip back–and into a lucrative living as a bounty hunter and hit man before a police sting landed him in prison–a fate worse than Mars, and much more dangerous. Luckily, his “enhanced” life also seems to be a charmed one. A new chance at freedom beckons, courtesy of the government. All Marsalis has to do is use his superior skills to bring in another fugitive. But this one is no common criminal. He’s another Thirteen–one who’s already shanghaied a space shuttle, butchered its crew, and left a trail of bodies in his wake on a bloody cross-country spree. And like his pursuer, he was bred to fight to the death. Still, there’s no question Marsalis will take the job. Though it will draw him deep into violence, treachery, corruption, and painful confrontation with himself, anything is better than remaining a prisoner. The real question is: can he remain sane–and alive–long enough to succeed? From the Hardcover edition.

The deadliest agent in the Marvel Universe has finally gotten out of the spy game! The Black Widow's not asking much - just a life of her own.

The last man foolish enough to do so paid the highest price, but his powerful friends will ensure that Natasha doesn't get off easy...and not even Nick Fury can protect her this time!

Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap is a legend to all who don't know him and a twisted degenerate to those that do. A veteren of the wars against the lizards he makes a living from telling credulous travellers of his exploits. Until one day he is pulled away from his life and into the depths of the Empire's slave trade. Where he will discover a secret infinitely more frightening than the trade in lives. Archeth - pragmatist, cynic and engineer, the last of her race - is called from her work at the whim of the most powerful man in the Empire and sent to its farthest reaches to investigate a demonic incursion against the Empire's borders. Egar Dragonbane, steppe-nomad, one-time fighter for the Empire finds himself entangled in a small-town battle between common sense and religious fervour. But out in the wider world there is something on the move far more alien than any of his tribe's petty gods. Anti-social, anti-heroic, and decidedly irritated, all three of them are about to be sent unwillingly forth into a vicious, vigorous and thoroughly unsuspecting fantasy world. Called upon by an Empire that owes them everything and gave them nothing. Richard Morgan brings his trademark visceral writing style, turbo-driven plotting and thought provoking characterisation to the fantasy genre and produces a landmark work with his first foray.

Examining the intersection of anarchism and bio-politics, this book highlights Petr Kropotkin's revolutionary ideas as deeply rooted in contemporary scientific thought. It reveals how Kropotkin viewed health, illness, and societal conditions as central political issues rather than mere metaphors. By framing the state, capitalism, and revolution as medical concerns, he emphasized their measurable impact on individuals and society through social statistics. This innovative perspective offers a fresh understanding of Kropotkin's contributions to anarchist theory.

Natasza Romanowa, niegdyś śmiertelnie niebezpieczna agentka radzieckiego i amerykańskiego wywiadu, pragnie już tylko żyć po swojemu. Lecz ktoś najwyraźniej życzy jej śmierci.

Bay City è San Francisco, ma fra quattrocento anni. I pensieri, la coscienza e tutto quello che definisce un essere umano sono racchiusi in un semplice chip. Chi possiede denaro e ricchezze non muore mai, dato che è sufficiente far impiantare il proprio chip nel corpo di qualcun altro. Se si viola la legge, si viene semplicemente 'disattivati'. In passato Takeshi Kovacs è stato un soldato, ma dopo essersi dato al crimine è stato disattivato. All'improvviso però si sveglia in un altro corpo: a riportarlo in vita è stato un uomo ricchissimo che ha bisogno del suo aiuto. Tra criminali disposti a tutto, sparatorie e tradimenti Takeshi si troverà invischiato in una vicenda torbida e pericolosa, in cui morire definitivamente è forse il male minore.

¿Cómo rescatar a una joven atrapada en una red Criminal cuando, a la vez, te busca el Gobierno de los EE. UU. y te persiguen enemigos que buscan venganza? Por suerte, no hay misión demasiado peligrosa para la Viuda Negra. El camino de Natasha Romanoff se cruzará con el de Daredevil y Yelena Belova, la otra espía que ostenta el título de la Viuda Negra.

Cinquant'anni dopo le indagini a Bay City, il cinico Takeshi Kovacs ha cambiato custodia e lavoro: adesso è un mercenario al soldo del governo di Sanzione IV, pagato per soffocare una rivolta. Ma la fedeltà a una causa non è mai stato il suo forte, così, quando gli viene offerta una bella somma per partecipare a una spedizione "archeologica", Kovacs si dimostra più che disponibile a lasciare il vecchio lavoro per gettarsi in questa nuova missione. Lo scopo della spedizione è il ritrovamento e il recupero di una nave marziana, la civiltà più antica e più evoluta dell'universo.
