A BIOTECH RACE AGAINST TIME TO DEVELOP MILITARY-GRADE DRAGONS. Brilliant genetic engineer Noah Parker is pitted head-to-head against the founder of Build-a-Dragon to design custom dragons for the military. Genetic engineer Noah Parker has at last landed the job he s long coveted: director of dragon design for the Build-A-Dragon Company. With a combination of genetic engineering and a cryptic device known as the Redwood Codex, he and his team can produce living, breathing dragons made-to-order. But sales of dragons have plummeted, and the Build-A-Dragon Company will have to find new revenue streams if it hopes to stay in business. A contract to develop dragons for the U.S. military promises a much-needed lifeline. Yet the specs are more challenging than anything Noah has ever designed. Worse, he learns that a shadow company headed by former CEO Robert Greaves has stolen the dragon-making technology to make a competing bid. Noah’s dragons will face off against those of his old adversary. It’s a head-to-head design competition, with the ethical future of domesticated dragons hanging in the balance. About Deploying Dragons: “Full of thrilling invention and discovery and show-stealing dragons, this one is for every reader who’s ever dreamed of riding or at least training their very own winged beast.” —Library Journal “A fast-paced and funny ride, this book will keep readers entertained.” —Booklist About Domesticating Dragons: “Koboldt delivers a funny and immersive look at the world of genetic engineering. . . . With characteristic verve, Koboldt contrasts the playful adventure plot with eerie dystopian setting and a searing examination of corporate greed and ambition. Fans of inventive speculative fiction are sure to be pleased.” —Publishers Weekly “It’s entertaining, interesting, and Koboldt does a fantastic job of keeping the pace steady and consistent. All-in-all a fantastic, and definitely different, follow-up to his debut trilogy. I’ll take more of this, please!” —SFF World “Lab-based science fiction, with its grounding in the real world, real situations and people who feel like friends rather than out-of-this-world superheroes is a lot of fun when it’s done right. It’s done right in Domesticating Dragons, with its geeky hero who saves the day, gets the girl and fulfills all of our dreams of dragons.” —Reading Reality About Dan Koboldt: “. . . very readable and highly enjoyable. . . . Characters that are more than the sum of their parts, a world that has so much to offer, and a story that races along apace . . .” —SFF World on The World Awakening

After a vicious plague swept through the world of Pern, there are no longer enough dragons to fight off the current onslaught of Thread, the deadly spore that falls like rain from the skies and devours everything organic in its path.

Leadership of these dragons and riders falls to Xhinna, female rider of a blue dragon, who, as the most experienced dragonrider in the new Weyr, must earn the respect of all who follow her, as not everyone is ready to accept a female wingleader. She must solve the problem of how to get sufficient numbers of dragon eggs, although her newfangled ideas, like letting green dragons mate and lay eggs to hatch new dragons, cause uproar.

Designing Terry Pratchett s Discworld takes readers behind the scenes of the amazing partnership between Sir Terry Pratchett and artist Paul Kidby. It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life - from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces - and how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape. Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry s ever-fertile imagination right into our world.Designing Terry Pratchett s Discworld also outlines the images that we never got to see - the early covers of the great unwritten novels, taken from the world before their time. This is a unique insight into one of the great literary partnerships, packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it.

Není nad pořádné dobrodružství. Ve filmu Dungeons Dragons: Čest zlodějů, který vychází z jedné z celosvětově nejoblíbenějších her Dračí doupě, si ho diváci užijí měrou vrchovatou.Potulný zpěvák neboli bard Edgin (Chris Pine) se živí tím, že se svou partou zlodějíčků pomáhá měnit majitele vzácných artefaktů (jednomu ho ukradnou a druhému prodají). Je to práce, při které prakticky neustále strkáte hlavu do oprátky, a ani Edgin nemůže mít věčně kliku. Když se mu podaří šlohnout to, co se nikdy nemělo dostat do nesprávných rukou, a on to navíc do těch rukou dobrovolně vloží, spustí dominový efekt, který může otřást celým světem. Edgin je sice tak trochu zmetek, ale pořád má v sobě kousek cti, a tak se rozhodne napravit, co spískal. Protože však proti němu stojí armáda nelítostných zabijáků, mocných čarodějů a bývalý kamarád Forge Fletcher (Hugh Grant), potřebuje tým, se kterým by mohl mít aspoň nepatrnou šanci v tomhle úkolu obstát. A protože film vychází z legendární hry Dračí doupě, je jasné, že v jeho partě nesmí chybět drsná válečnice (Michelle Rodriguez), ušlechtilý rytíř (Regé-Jean Page), mág (Justice Smith) nebo druidka (Sophia Lillis).Bonusy:• Nepovedené a vynechané scény

We’ve all grown up with stories of magical dragons and mythical winged creatures. This thoroughly entertaining collection of stories draws on such tales from all over the world; from ancient Greece and Egypt, to 14th century China to France, Estonia, Ireland, Wales and beyond. Dragons, Wyverns and Serpents: Myths and Legends is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Many tales relate stories of bravery and ingenuity against a seemingly indomitable and terrifying creature; there’s George and the Dragon from England and the famous Norse Myth of Fafnir. Some (but not many!) creatures are benevolent, for example the sea serpent in the Egyptian Tale of the Shipwrecked Soldier.Each retelling contributes to a fascinating and lively overview of how mythical creatures are represented through time and across the globe.
