WINNER OF The 2020 Hugo Award for Best Novella, the Reddit Stabby Award for Best Novella AND The British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novella Two time-travelling agents from warring futures, working their way through the past, begin to exchange letters - and fall in love in this...

Since her village chased her out with pitchforks, Tara Abernathy has resurrected gods, pulled down monsters, averted wars, and saved a city, twice. She thought she'd left her dusty little hometown forever. But that was before her father died.

A wildly successful innovator, Vivian Liao is prone to radical thinking, quick decision-making, and reckless action. In the chilly darkness of a Boston server farm, she sets her ultimate plan into motion. A terrifying instant later, she is catapulted through space and time to a far future where she confronts a destiny stranger and more deadly than she could ever imagine. The end of time is ruled by an ancient, powerful Empress who blesses or blasts entire planets with a single thought. Rebellion is literally impossible to consider - until Vivian arrives.

The God Wars destroyed the city of Alikand. Now, a century and a half and a great many construction contracts later, Agdel Lex rises in its place. Dead deities litter the surrounding desert, streets shift when people aren't looking, a squidlike tower dominates the skyline, and the foreign Iskari Rectification Authority keeps strict order in this once-independent city - while treasure seekers, criminals, combat librarians, nightmare artists, angels, demons, dispossessed knights, grad students, and other fools gather in its ever-changing alleys, hungry for the next big score. 

A deadly force has been unleashed into the world. With apocalypse on the horizon, a girl and a god have joined in order to turn back the coming end. Young, brash, and desperate, they are willing to destroy anything and everything that stands between them and their goals. The structures of the Craft are theirs to overturn, with billions of lives in the balance. And it is all Tara Abernathy's fault.

The foundations of the world are quaking. Markets crash and cities burn as a new god struggles to be born. Ancient hunters skitter across space, eager and hungry. Dark forces conspire to undermine anything or anyone who could stand in their way. Divided, the world of the craft is certain to fall.

Det er normalt at have hemmeligheder, når man er en del af Vatikanets tophemmelige antimagikorps, men Grace synes at passe alt for godt på sine. Til sidst kan Sal ikke styre sin nysgerrighed og sætter sig for at lære Graces hemmelighed at kende. Det kræver imidlertid, at hun tager tilbage til 1930‘ernes Kina, og det er bestemt ikke ufarligt... Magi findes, og nogle bøger bider fra sig. Følg Sal Brooks, den seneste rekrut på en hemmelig magisk mission, mens hun rejser verden rundt for at holde overnaturlige kræfter i skak.

Da de skal til at stoppe ham, forsvinder han ind i en anden verden, og der er ikke andet at gøre end at følge efter ham! Magi findes, og nogle bøger bider fra sig.

The Long List Anthology is designed to recognize the short works that were nominated for the 2015 Hugo Awards but did not make it into the top five short list for the final ballot. Thus, voted into the Hugo Award's long list of works - the top 15 works nominated for each category - were these nine short stories and three novelettes, now made available to a wider audience by award-winning narrators.

Tra le ceneri di un mondo morente, Rossa trova una lettera su cui c'è scritto "Bruciare prima di leggere". Inizia così la strana corrispondenza tra due agenti rivali in una guerra che si dipana attraverso le vastità del tempo e dello spazio. Rossa è membro dell'Agenzia, una distopia tecnologica post singolarità. Blu appartiene al Giardino, un'unica ampia coscienza che risiede in tutta la materia organica. I loro passati sono pieni di sangue; i loro futuri si escludono l'un l'altro. Non hanno nulla in comune, tranne il fatto che sono le migliori. E sono sole.
