Rand al'Thor und seine Gefährten sehen sich plötzlich einer drohenden Invasion gegenüber, die niemand kommen sah...

Kaum ist der eine Feind besiegt, tritt schon der nächste auf den Plan: Die abtrünnigen Shaido verfolgen das Ziel, den Wiedergeborenen Drachen in die Hände zu bekommen und begreifen nicht, dass sie im Auftrag der Verlorenen handeln. Selbst Rand al'Thor vollbringt Dinge, die seine Verbündeten nicht verstehen. Misstrauen und Zweifel wachsen ins Unermessliche. Zerbricht der Wiedergeborene Drache am Kampf gegen so viele Gegner?

Während Mat in Ebou Dar nach der geheimnisvollen Schale der Winde sucht und in einen Hinterhalt gerät, hat Rand al`Thor der Mut verlassen...

Der wiedergeborene Drache Rand al'Thor treibt ein gefährliches Spiel. Um keiner Partei den Vorzug zu geben, stellt er sich zwischen zwei feindliche Gruppen des Aes Sedai. Doch der Konflikt weitet sich aus: Rand lehnt sich gegen die mächtigen Hexen auf und gerät unversehens in eine tödliche Falle.

Die im Exil lebenden Aes Sedai erkennen die derzeitige Amyrlin nicht an und wählen ihre eigene: Egwene. Damit ist die Spaltung der Weißen Burg endgültig besiegelt. Der Rat hofft, die noch sehr junge Führerin leicht beeinflussen und dadurch seine Ziele besser durchsetzen zu können. Egwene jedoch hat nicht vor, sich als Marionette benutzen zu lassen. Sie plant ein Bündnis aller Machtlenkerinnen auf der Welt.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
