Това е най-гледаното телевизионно състезание в галактиката! За миг всяка построена от хората конструкция на Земята — от Бъкингамския дворец до най-малката барака, всички камиони и коли — се срутва на купчина и потъва в земята. Сградите и всички хора в тях са атомизирани и преобразени в подземието: лабиринт на 18 нива, пълен с капани, чудовища и плячка. Подземие толкова огромно, че обикаля цялото земно кълбо. Само неколцина се осмеляват да влязат. Но щом веднъж си вътре, не можеш да излезеш. А още по-лошото е, че всяко ниво има ограничение във времето. Имаш само дни, за да намериш стълбище към следващото ниво надолу, иначе играта приключва. В тази игра не става дума за силата или сръчността ти. Става дума за гледанията и последователите ти. За това да си изградиш публика и да убиваш онези гоблини със стил. Тук не можеш просто да оцелееш. Трябва да оцелееш грандиозно. Трябва да се биеш с устрем, с вълнение. Трябва да ги накараш да се изправят на крака и да ликуват. А ако притежаваш онзи специален фактор, може и да си спечелиш последователи. Това е единственият начин наистина да оцелееш в тази игра — с помощта на кутиите с плячка, пускани ти от щедрите благодетели, които гледат от цялата галактика. Наричат го Светът на тъмницолазите. Но за Карл това съвсем не е игра.

"Description contains spoilers for previous book in the series" Who is the Hero of Ages? To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness—the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists—is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed. Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. Vin can't even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!

A historian of fascism offers a guide for surviving and resisting America’s turn towards authoritarianism. On November 9th, millions of Americans woke up to the impossible: the election of Donald Trump as president. Against all predictions, one of the most-disliked presidential candidates in history had swept the electoral college, elevating a man with open contempt for democratic norms and institutions to the height of power. Timothy Snyder is one of the most celebrated historians of the Holocaust. In his books Bloodlands and Black Earth, he has carefully dissected the events and values that enabled the rise of Hitler and Stalin and the execution of their catastrophic policies. With Twenty Lessons, Snyder draws from the darkest hours of the twentieth century to provide hope for the twenty-first. As he writes, “Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism and communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.” Twenty Lessons is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come.

A Black father. A white father. Two murdered sons. A quest for vengeance. Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek’s father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy. Ike and Buddy Lee, two ex-cons with little else in common other than a criminal past and a love for their dead sons, band together in their desperate desire for revenge. In their quest to do better for their sons in death than they did in life, hardened men Ike and Buddy Lee will confront their own prejudices about their sons and each other, as they rain down vengeance upon those who hurt their boys.
