A ​többszörös díjnyertes dark fantasy videojáték különleges világa regényben is életre kel! Emily Kaldwin császárnő kettős életet él Dunwallban: az uralkodói teendői mellett apja, Corvo Attano képzi a lopakodás, harc és orgyilkosság művészetében. A birodalom ismét sötét idők elé néz: nemrég egy titokzatos férfi érkezett a városba, és a Bálnavadászok élére állt, méghozzá olyan képességek birtokában, melyeknek a létezése már éppen kezdett feledésbe merülni. Emily és Corvo életre-halálra folyó hajszába veti magát: ha nem lebbentik fel a fátylat rejtélyes ellenségükről, akkor minden igyekezetük dacára bekövetkezik az elkerülhetetlen pusztulás.

Adam Christopher - Made ​to Kill
Raymond ​Electromatic is good at his job, as good as he ever was at being a true Private Investigator, the lone employee of the Electromatic Detective Agency--except for Ada, office gal and super-computer, the constant voice in Ray's inner ear. Ray might have taken up a new line of work, but money is money, after all, and he was programmed to make a profit. Besides, with his twenty-four-hour memory-tape limits, he sure can keep a secret. When a familiar-looking woman arrives at the agency wanting to hire Ray to find a missing movie star, he's inclined to tell her to take a hike. But she had the cold hard cash, a demand for total anonymity, and tendency to vanish on her own. Plunged into a glittering world of fame, fortune, and secrecy, Ray uncovers a sinister plot that goes much deeper than the silver screen--and this robot is at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Made to Kill is the thrilling new speculative noir from novelist and comic writer Adam Christopher.

Adam Christopher - Empire ​State
THE ​EMPIRE STATE IS THE OTHER NEW YORK. A parallel-universe, Prohibition-era world of mooks and shamuses that is the twisted magic mirror to our bustling Big Apple, a place where sinister characters lurk around every corner while the great superheroes that once kept the streets safe have fallen into dysfunctional rivalries and feuds. Not that its colourful residents know anything about the real New York… until detective Rad Bradley makes a discovery that will change the lives of all its inhabitants. Playing on the classic Gotham conventions of the Batman comics and HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, debut author Adam Christopher has spun this smart and fast-paced superhero-noir adventure, the sort of souped-up thrill ride that will excite genre fans and general readers alike.

Adam Christopher - A ​sötétség fejedelme
1984. ​december, Hawkins. Jim Hopper rendőrfőnök egyetlen vágya egy csendes karácsonyeste eltöltése Tizivel, de örökbe fogadott lánya keresztülhúzza számítását. A lány egy New York feliratú kartondobozt húz elő a pincéből, és záporozni kezdenek az igazán fogós kérdések. Miért hagyta el Hopper Hawkinst? Miért tért vissza? És miért nem beszél sohasem New Yorkról? Bár Hopper inkább nézne szembe egy falkányi demogorgonnal, mint a saját múltjával, nem tehet mást: el kell mesélnie annak a mindent megváltoztató pár hónapnak a történetét. A Vietnamot megjárt fiatal, kisgyerekes családapa, Jim Hopper New Yorkban kezd új életet, ám a sosem alvó város sikátorai legalább annyira veszélyesek, mint a vietnami dzsungel. 1977 forró nyarán bizarr módon megcsonkított hullák lepik el az újdonsült gyilkossági nyomozó Hopper körzetét, és szövetségi ügynökök szállják meg a rendőrséget. A férfinak nincs más választása, mint a maga kezébe venni az ügyet. A gyilkost konok elszántsággal üldöző Hopper egy őrült banda és egy titokzatos parapszichológiai kísérlet után kutatva merül mélyre a sosem látott hőhullámtól szenvedő New York mocskában, és a többnapos áramszünet miatt sötétbe borult városban először néz szembe a gonosz valódi arcával.
