Bonds Of Hercules (deluxe Limited Edition) [Bok / Inbunden]

A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.                          It is bedlam on the eighth floor. On this floor, the crawlers are given a new task: find and capture six monsters. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. The stronger, the deadlier, the better. At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it's crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible. But, like always, there is a catch.                                                                        There's always a catch. As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn't mean they have been tamed. Her name is Shi Maria. She's easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. They call her the Bedlam Bride.

En social dystopi - Simon Stålenhag återvänder med sin efterlängtade nya konstbok <i>Svenska maskiner, enslight belägna</i>. <br/><br/>Simon Stålenhag är känd för sina kritikerrosade narrativa konstböcker som har uppmärksammats av Hollywood. <i>Ur varselklotet</i>, som publicerades 2015, blev ett internetfenomen och gav upphov till en Amazon Prime Show med originalmusik av Philip Glass. Detta följdes upp av <i>Flodskörden</i> och <i>Passagen</i>. Den sistnämnda blir snart en storfilm under namnet <i>The Electric Sta</i><i>te </i>i regi av bröderna Russo (Avengers: Endgame) med Millie Bobby Brown och Chris Pratt i huvudrollerna. <br/><br/><i>Svenska maskiner, ensligt belägna </i>är Stålenhags mest personliga verk hittills och utforskar maskulinitet, vänskap och sexualitet i en queer science fiction-berättelse om två unga män som är fast i det förflutna - och i varandras omloppsbana. Deras historia sträcker sig över decennier, när flyktiga ögonblick blir avgörande minnen, och de ger sig ut för att utforska en mystisk förbjuden zon tillsammans.
