Efter at have besøgt alle Jordens kontinenter og rejst i tid og rum slår Yoko sig ned i Skotland. Hendes eventyrlyst er dog langtfra mættet, og denne gang kommer hun på en farlig underjordisk mission, indgår en pagt med Djævelen, finder spor efter drager i en klosterruin, møder en mystisk russisk prinsesse og en skrupelløs greve – og opdager, at selv hendes bedste vineanske veninde, Khany, har hemmeligheder.Temaet for dette niende samlebind er trolddom, hemmeligheder, hekseri og mystik i fortid, nutid og fremtid. Samlebindet indeholder disse tre album:– Lucifers tjenerinde (hvori Yoko, Vic, Pol og Emilia står ansigt til ansigt med Lucifer i Jordens indre)– Ametystens forbandelse (hvori en antik tidsmaskine bringer Yoko til 1934 for at frelse Emilias grandtante Gloria)– Khanys hemmelighed (hvori den skrupelløse Karpan ved hjælp af et program indpodet i en ung vineansk kvinde vil gøre livet på Jorden umuligt for mennesker – men kvinden flygter til Mars)Tre af Yoko Tsunos eventyr om mennesker, vineanere, djævle og dæmoner med udgangspunkt i Skotland og de mange legender, som landet er så rigt på.Endvidere indeholder bogen et omfattende og rigt illustreret ekstramateriale om tegneseriens og de enkelte historiers tilblivelse, skrevet af den mere end 90-årige Roger Leloup selv om sine valg af temaer, personer, geografiske områder, tidsperioder samt fly, biler og rumskibe!Pressen om de tidligere samlebindSerieland: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Som altid er tegningerne sublime.” Berlingske: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Nostalgisk fryd.” Ekstra Bladet: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Forrygende flot med et væld af lækkert ekstramateriale.” Nummer9.dk: “Man overvældes af detaljeringsgraden og det enorme arbejde, der er lagt i hver enkelt tegning.”

Da Randall Morgan vendte tilbage til East Alin og fandt en død mand hængende i en lygtepæl i den første UDHÆNGT-bog, havde han været hjemmefra i to uger, og den verden, han vendte tilbage til, var allerede styrtet i grus. Rose Lavine, derimod, var der, da det hele begyndte. Hun så det ske. Dette er hendes historie. ROSES HISTORIE er en forløber til Per Jacobsens UDHÆNGT-trilogi. Den fortæller historien om Rose Lavines personlige tragedie og giver dermed også et indblik i, hvad der skete i de fjorten frygtelige dage, der førte op til begivenhederne i UDHÆNGT.

Ernest Callenbachs science fiction-klassiker Økotopia handler om et samfund baseret på et anti-materialistisk fællesskab i pagt med naturen. Callenbachs spekulative vision om et andet USA – og en anden verden – har aldrig været mere aktuel end i dag, og de utopiske forestillinger i denne kultbog fortsætter med at inspirere nye generationer. Vi er i året 1999. Siden 1980, hvor den nordvestlige del af USA rev sig løs fra resten af Amerika og dannede Økotopia, har befolkningen her levet isoleret og opbygget et nyt samfund på et økologisk grundlag. Det er endelig lykkedes journalisten William Weston at få tilladelse til at rejse til Økotopia og som den første amerikaner siden løsrivelsen at studere og rapportere fra det økotopiske samfund. Som en anden Gulliver er Will til tider skræmt, til tider overvældet af de fremmede livsformer og de følelsesladede oplevelser med økotopikerne. Han opdager et samfund, der på fantastisk vis har formået at styre den økologiske og teknologiske udvikling. Et samfund, hvor forurening og ressourcespild er standset, hvor udbytning og undertrykkelse er historie, og hvor fællesskab, spontanitet og lighed mellem kønnene og alt levende er blevet en del af livet. Callenbachs Økotopia er en politisk og social utopi, der har inspireret en lang række af samtidens store science fiction-forfattere, herunder Kim Stanley Robinson, David Brin, Marge Piercy og Ursula K. Le Guin. ”Arvtageren til Wells, Verne, Huxley og Orwell.” – Los Angeles Times

The killer appears to possess a mysterious, uncanny power over electricity, which is enough for the Bureau to re-open the X-Files--if Mulder and Scully are willing."--

Israel, late 1973. As the Yom Kippur War flares into life, a state-of-the-art Soviet MIG fighter is racing at breakneck speed over the arid scrublands below . . . and promptly disappears. It soon becomes clear to Israeli intelligence that the pilot is a defector, desperate to come over to the US side. Houston Flight Controller and former test pilot Kaz Zemeckis is charged with bringing the pilot and his plane to the highly secret Area 51, in the Nevada desert. But every defection carries with it a risk. It soon becomes clear that 'Grief' has the technical ability, and now the opportunity, to gain access to the treasures of the Nevada Test Range - either a prototype stealth fighter or the NERVA nuclear rocket engine. Or both. For Chris Hadfield's second heart-stopping thriller, we move from Space to another rich and exciting part of Chris's professional CV: his time as the top test pilot in both the US Air Force and the US Navy, and as a Cold War pilot intercepting armed Soviet bombers in North American airspace. Just as Gregg Hurwitz called The Apollo Murders 'an explosive thriller by a writer who has actually been to space and back', here we have a matchless thriller and the nerve-shredding rush of aerial combat, as told by one of the world's top fighter pilots.
