Кэтрин М. Валенте — библиография

Девушка по имени Руби Роуз выбрана лотереей для странной и болезненной процедуры - есть Грех Америки.

In the Cities of Coin and Spice and In the Night Garden introduced readers to the unique and intoxicating imagination of Catherynne M. Valente. Now she weaves a lyrically erotic spell of a place where the grotesque and the beautiful reside and the passport to our most secret fantasies begins with a stranger’s kiss.… Between life and death, dreaming and waking, at the train stop beyond the end of the world is the city of Palimpsest. To get there is a miracle, a mystery, a gift, and a curse—a voyage permitted only to those who’ve always believed there’s another world than the one that meets the eye. Those fated to make the passage are marked forever by a map of that wondrous city tattooed on their flesh after a single orgasmic night. To this kingdom of ghost trains, lion-priests, living kanji, and cream-filled canals come four travelers: Oleg, a New York locksmith; the beekeeper November; Ludovico, a binder of rare books; and a young Japanese woman named Sei. They’ve each lost something important—a wife, a lover, a sister, a direction in life—and what they will find in Palimpsest is more than they could ever imagine.

A handsome young man arrives in St Petersburg at the house of Marya Morevna. He is Koschei, the Tsar of Life, and he is Marya's fate. For years she follows him in love and in war, and bears the scars. But eventually Marya returns to her birthplace - only to discover a starveling city, haunted by death. Deathless is a fierce story of life and death, love and power, old memories, deep myth and dark magic, set against the history of Russia in the twentieth century. It is, quite simply, unforgettable.

The brand-new official Minecraft novel is an epic battle for survival! When humans enter the End, a pair of endermen must decide which side they're really on.
For as long as they can remember, the twin endermen Fin and Mo have lived in the mysterious land of the End. On the outskirts of the great enderman city of Telos, they explore ancient ruins under the watchful gaze of the mighty ender dragon. They have everything they need in the end ship they call home, and know everything there is to know about their world-or so they think until the strangers from another dimension arrive.
The invaders are called humans, and they've come to steal artifacts and slay the ender dragon. Fin and Mo are ready to protect their home from the trespassers, but when they come face-to-face with the humans, they discover that they aren't as prepared for battle as they'd thought. Caught off guard, the twins are trapped in the middle of a war between the endermen and the humans, with the future of their home at stake.

A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented-something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding. Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for the Metagalactic Grand Prix - part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past. Instead of competing in orbital combat, the powerful species that survived face off in a competition of song, dance, or whatever can be physically performed in an intergalactic talent show. The stakes are high for this new game, and everyone is forced to compete. This year, though, humankind has discovered the enormous universe. And while they expected to discover a grand drama of diplomacy, gunships, wormholes, and stoic councils of aliens, they have instead found glitter, lipstick and electric guitars. Mankind will not get to fight for its destiny - they must sing. A one-hit-wonder band of human musicians, dancers and roadies from London - Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes - have been chosen to represent Earth on the greatest stage in the galaxy. And the fate of their species lies in their ability to rock.

На окраине Телоса, самого большого города в странном измерении под названием Край, живут странники, близнецы Фин и Мо. Под неусыпным надзором могущественного дракона Края они исследуют древние руины и считают, что им известно о Крае все. Но однажды в их размеренную жизнь врываются пришельцы из других земель. Их зовут люди, и они хотят выкрасть артефакты странников и убить дракона Края. Фин и Мо хотят сразиться с захватчиками, но, едва встретившись с ними, понимают, что не готовы к битве и на самом деле очень мало знают о своем мире и о своем народе. Так они оказываются в самом центре войны, которая ставит под угрозу существование Края.

Официальное дополнение к популярной видеоигре Mass Effect: Andromeda. Кварианский ковчег «Кила Си’ях» плывёт по направлению к галактике Андромеда, неся на борту 20 000 колонистов нескольких рас, в том числе дреллов, элкоров и батарианцев. В пути обычная проверка выявляет, что многие колонисты-дреллы скончались в своих криокапсулах. Обнаруженный патоген передаётся от вида к виду, затем начинаются сбои в корабельном оборудовании, показывая, что всё это не случайность. Это убийство, и преступник по-прежнему на борту. Системы корабля быстро деградируют, а среди колонистов распространяется паника. Хуже того, вирус вызывает страшную опухоль головного мозга, ведущую к безумию, галлюцинациям и вспышкам насилия. Если команда корабля не восстановит технику и найдёт лекарство, «Кила Си’ях» никогда не достигнет «Нексуса».
