Brandon Sanderson könyvei a rukkolán


Brandon Sanderson - Ködszerzet
Ezer ​éve már, hogy hamueső hullik az égből, hogy egyetlen virág sem bontotta ki szirmait. Ezer éve már, hogy a szkák nyomorult rabszolgákként, örökös félelemben robotolnak. Ezer éve már, hogy az Uralkodó, a Végtelenség Szilánkja isteni legyőzhetetlenségben, általános rettegéstől övezve trónol tökéletes hatalma csúcsán. Ám mikor már a remény emléke is végképp elenyészni látszik, egy sebhelyekkel borított, összetört szívű félrabszolga ismét rátalál arra az Uralkodó legpokolibb tömlöcének mélyén. Kelsierben, a tolvajban elpattan valami, és felfedezi magában a ködszerzetek erejét, az allomancia varázslatos tehetségét. Majd született vezérként minden képességét a végső, legnagyobb terv szolgálatába állítja, magát az Uralkodót szemelve ki a lázadás célpontjaként. Fiatal kora ellenére Brandon Sanderson a modern fantasy világhírű, kiemelkedő tehetségű képviselője. A már első regényével, az Elantrisszal nagy sikert aratott szerző Ködszerzet-trilógiájában a következő merész, ám igen egyszerű kérdéssel feje tetejére állítja a fantasy egész zsánerét: mi történik akkor, ha a próféciákban megjövendölt hős elbukik a Sötét Úrral szemben?

Brandon Sanderson - Békéltető
A _Békéltető_ ​két nővér története, akik történetesen hercegnők; az istenkirály története, akihez egyiküknek hozzá kell mennie; valamint egy halhatatlan története, aki megpróbálja helyrehozni több száz évvel ezelőtti hibáit. Az ő világukban azok, akik dicsőséggel halnak meg, istenekként támadnak fel, hogy Hallandren fővárosának panteonjában éljenek tovább. Világukat a biokromatikus mágia alakítja – a hatalom, aminek egy lélegzet nevű esszencia az alapja. A használata fáradságos munka: a lélegzetet más emberektől, csupán egyesével lehet begyűjteni. Ám nagy jutalommal jár: a lélegzet használatával, és azzal, ha valaki a hétköznapi tárgyak színeiből merít, számtalan csodát és csínyt el lehet követni. Mindkettőre szükség lesz, hogy megoldódjanak a kihívások, amelyek Vivenna és Siri, Idris hercegnői, Susebron, az istenkirály, Fénydal, a bátorság vonakodó istene, valamint a rejtélyes Vasher előtt állnak. Brandon Sanderson ebben a könyvében ismét bebizonyítja, hogy igazi mestere annak, amit Tolkien „másodteremtésnek”, vagyis egész világok, illetve a hozzájuk tartozó mágiarendszerek és mítoszok kitalálásának nevezett.

Brandon Sanderson - Az ​Elmúlás Pántjai
Háromszáz ​évvel a Ködszerzet-trilógia után Scadrial a modern kor küszöbén áll – vasútvonalak egészítik ki a csatornákat, elektromos világítás ad fényt az utcákon és a vagyonosok otthonaiban, az első acélvázas felhőkarcolók pedig egymással versenyezve törnek az ég felé. Az Elmúlás Pántjai az Uralkodó legendás fémelméi; a történetek szerint az Uralkodó hatalmával ruházzák fel viselőjüket. Létezésükben csupán maroknyian hisznek. Egy napon aztán egy kandra kutató tér vissza Elendelbe, és az általa készített képek mintha a Pántokat ábrázolnák, valamint szövegeket egy olyan nyelven, amelyet senki sem ismer. Waxillium Ladrian feladata, hogy délre utazzon Új-Seran városába és nyomozni kezdjen a titokzatos felfedezéssel kapcsolatban. Az úton azonban olyan információk birtokába jut, amelyek nagybátyja, Edwarn, és a Pakli nevű rejtélyes szervezet valódi céljaira vethetnek fényt…

Alcatraz Smedry doesn't seem destined for anything but disaster.

Brandon Sanderson - Infinity ​Blade - Awakening
Trained ​from birth in swordplay and combat, a young knight named Siris has journeyed to the Dark Citadel with a single purpose: fight through the army of Titans to face the tyrannical God King in one-on-one combat. This was his father’s sacred mission, and his father’s before him, going back countless generations in an effort to free their people from enslavement. But when Siris somehow succeeds where all those from his bloodline previously have failed, he finds himself cast into a much larger world, filled with warriors and thieves, ancient feuds and shifting alliances, Deathless immortals and would-be kings. His quest for freedom will take him on an epic journey in search of the mythical figure known as the Worker of Secrets – the one being in the world who can unravel the secrets of the Infinity Blade.

Brandon Sanderson - A ​korok hőse 1-2.
Ki ​is a Korok Hőse? A Végső Birodalom megdöntése és a szabadság kivívása érdekében Vin végzett az Uralkodóval. Ennek eredményeként azonban a Mélység – a mindent elborító köd halálos megnyilvánulási formája – visszatért, nyomában sűrű hamuesőkkel és egyre hevesebb rengésekkel. Úgy tűnik, az emberiség sorsa megpecsételődött. Elend Venture császár, aki a Megdicsőülés Kútja végén csak ködszerzetté válva menekülhetett a halál torkából, abban reménykedik, hogy sikerül rábukkannia az Uralkodó által hátrahagyott nyomokra, amelyek segítségével megmentheti a világot. Kedvesét, Vint eközben emészti a bűntudat, amiért hagyta magát félrevezetni, és szabadon engedte a Kútban lakozó, Romlás néven ismert misztikus erőt. Romlás a világ pusztulására tör, és lehetetlennek tűnik, hogy ebben bárki képes megakadályozni. A Ködszerzet-trilógia befejező része nem marad adós az első két könyvben beígért izgalmakkal: a titkok sorra lelepleződnek, a sorozat korábbi részeiben gyökerező összefüggések értelmet nyernek, és a meglepetések tűzijáték gyanánt sziporkáznak végig a köteten. A végkifejlet pedig mind eredetiségében, mind vakmerőségében a párját ritkítja.

Brandon Sanderson - Mary Robinette Kowal - The ​Original
In ​the near future, humans choose life—for a price. Injectable nanite technology is the lifeblood that flows through every individual wishing to experience the world through the lens of their own theme. While death from mortal wounds is still possible, life is made easier in a socially liberated society where automation and income equality allow passion pursuits to flourish over traditional work. Renewal stations are provided to every law-abiding citizen for weekly check-ins, which issue life-sustaining repairs in exchange for personal privacy. But what becomes of those who check out, of those who dare to resist immortality and risk being edited under the gaze of an identity-extracting government surveillance system? When Holly Winseed wakes up in a hospital room, her first thoughts are of her husband Jonathan. But he isn’t there. And her near-term memory seems… disjointed. A team of government agents wastes no time with pleasantries telling Holly that she is a Provisional Replica, created in the aftermath of her Original’s conviction for murdering their husband Jonathan. Now she has one week to hunt down and kill her Original. If she succeeds, she’ll assume her Original’s life. If she fails, her nanites deplete and she will die. Holly’s progress is monitored by an assigned contact that feeds her information as she confronts the blank, robotic world around her, discovering that others view life through the theme of their own choosing. With her newly implanted combat and deduction skills, Holly fends off both attacks by terrorists and doubts about her own trustworthiness as clues lead her to her Original – and to the truth about Jonathan. In the end, one body remains and one walks away. Although questions persist, one thing is certain: Life will never be the same.

Robert Jordan - Brandon Sanderson - A ​Fény emlékezete I-II.
Merrilor ​mezején azért gyűltek egybe a nemzetek fejedelmei, hogy felsorakozzanak Rand al’Thor mögött, vagy éppenséggel azért, hogy megakadályozzák, amit tenni készül. Talán az őrület jele, talán az emberi faj utolsó reménysugara az, hogy Rand le akarja törni a Sötét Úr tömlöcének pecsétjeit. Egwene, az Amyrlin-trón az előbbit tartja valószínűbbnek. Végveszélybe került az egész emberiség. Valamennyiük sorsa Shayol Ghul­ban dől majd el.

Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice.

Brandon Sanderson - Lies ​of the Beholder

A genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours.

When Stephen gets an unexpected cry for help from the woman who taught him how to control his aspects—right when one of his aspects suddenly and violently disappears—it will send him on a case the likes of which he could never have imagined.

Brandon Sanderson - Firstborn
Now ​Tor.com is pleased to present the original novelette "Firstborn," a tale of war and sibling rivalry that happens to also be Brandon Sanderson's first published work of out-and-out science fiction. Illustrated by Hugo-winning artist Donato Giancola, "Firstborn" is SF like it used to be

Brandon Sanderson - Mistborn ​- Secret History
_Mistborn: ​Secret History_ is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy. As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books _Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension,_ and _The Hero of Ages._ It also contains very minor spoilers for the book _The Bands of Mourning._ _Mistborn: Secret History_ builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best. In short, this isn’t the place to start your journey into Mistborn. (Though if you have read the trilogy—but it has been a while—you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books.) Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story’s existence is, in a way, a spoiler. There’s always another secret.

Brandon Sanderson - Steelheart
Ten ​years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning - and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience. He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge.

Robert Jordan - Brandon Sanderson - Towers ​of Midnight
The ​Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One's prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unravelling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight. Perrin Aybara is haunted by spectres from his past. To prevail, he must find a way to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it for ever. Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost. The end draws near.

Brandon Sanderson - The ​Stormlight Archive
Write ​a review This pocket companion is designed to provide facts and details that may have been missed on first reading of The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance and speculation about what is to come. As such, it contains spoilers for the first two novels of The Stormlight Archive. This edition is limited to 5,000 copies.

Robert Jordan - Brandon Sanderson - The ​Gathering Storm
The ​final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan's editor - his wife, Harriet McDougal - to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so _The Gathering Storm_ is the first of three novels that will cover the outline left by Robert Jordan, chronicling Tarmon Gai'don and Rand al'Thor's final confrontation with the Dark One. This short sequence will complete the struggle against the Shadow, bringing to a close a journey begun almost twenty years ago and marking the conclusion of the Wheel of Time, the preeminent fantasy epic of our era. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
