From the publisher of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes a new tale of romance, heartbreak ... and tentacled mayhem. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters expands the original text of the beloved Jane Austen novel with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, and other biological monstrosities ($16.95).
Man has battled the undead for millennia. Brooks, the “Studs Terkel of zombie journalism,” provides the lessons that history has taught us about zombie outbreaks. This is not a list of all zombie attacks throughout history, but a chronicling of the most famous outbreaks, gruesomely illustrated in graphic novel form. From our ancestors on the African savannahs to the legions of ancient Rome, to the voyages of Sir Francis Drake. to the ill-advised experiments of the Soviet Army, this account takes the reader on a journey across many anni horribilis and reminds us how close the living dead have come to destroying humanity ($21.00).
You may not have noticed, but there's something stirring in the Galaxy... Despite the efforts of the Vogons, and even those of a more-than-typically troubled teenager, the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Trilogy continues, much to the delight of its fans (and to the annoyance of the Vogons). And Another Thing, the 6th book in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy, or rather 'double trilogy' as it has now become, is to be written by the brilliantly funny Eoin Colfer, international bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl novels ($34.00).
For “the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things.” ($31.99)
The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author, was chosen to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so Tor proudly presents The Gathering Storm as the first of three novels that will make up A Memory of Light. Egwene’s fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower---and possibly the world itself. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow ($38.00).
The novel takes you to the smoggy, cobbled streets of Victoria's vile and villainous Britain, but not as you know them ...A layer of horror will be seamlessly woven in to comedic effect. You'll meet Queen Victoria not as the bitter old widow forever draped in black, but transformed into an ass-kicking killer of evil creatures. It will be so scarily convincing that you'll be certain that in the dark days of Queen Victoria, it was more than just the pickpockets you had to look out for ($16.95).
The second book in Meyer’s sensationally best-selling Twilight series is now in pocketbook format ($9.99).
From the author of The Time Traveler’s Wife comes a delicious and deadly 21st century ghost story about Niffenegger’s familiar themes of love, loss and identity. It is certain to cement her standing as one of the most singular and remarkable novelists of our time ($34.95).
The 37th Discworld novel is set against a backdrop of the culture of football. Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork — not the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving, but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go gloing when you drop them. And now, the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they’re in the mood for trying everything else. Because the thing about football – the important thing about football – is that it is not just about football ($34.99).
Now in paperback ($10.99).
