BARA HAN KAN RÄDDA VÄRLDEN   <br/><br/>Ryland är ensam överlevande på det sista desperata uppdraget att försöka rädda jorden, om han misslyckas innebär det slutet för mänskligheten.  <br/><br/>Men det vet inte Ryland, för han vet ingenting. Inte ens vem han själv är. <br/><br/>Miljontals mil hemifrån, med endast två döda astronauter som medpassagerare, inser Ryland att han måste rädda sig själv, för att kunna rädda världen. Men först måste han ta reda på vem, eller kanske snarare vad, det är som plötsligt gör honom sällskap     <br/><br/><i><b>UPPDRAG HAIL MARY</b></i> handlar, liksom <i>The Martian</i>, om en övergiven rymdhjälte och den vetenskapliga humorns uppfinningsrikedom. Det är en sylvass, smart och dystopisk rymdskildring som bjuder på underhållande problemlösning och häpnadsväckande förveckningar som tar oss långt bortom vår vildaste fantasi.    <br/><br/>Barack Obama har tipsat om boken tillika Bill Gates, som sagt: <i>Även om du inte är ett stort sci-fi-fan är </i>Uppdrag Hail Mary<i> verkligen underhållande.</i> <br/><br/><b>ANDY WEIR</b> är rymndnörden som fick sitt första programmerjobb vid femton års ålder. Han släppte sin debutroman, <i>The Martian</i>, ungefär samtidigt som vatten upptäcktes på mars och boken gick raka vägen upp till en förstaplacering på <i>New York Times</i>. Efter att ha sålt mer än 3 miljoner böcker runt om världen, varav närmare 50 000 exemplar bara i Sverige, har  förväntningarna på <i>Uppdrag Hail Mary</i> varit höga, och infriats. Hans nya berättelse om en ensam hjälte som tvingas förlita sig på sin egen intelligens för att överleva har hyllats av både kritikerkår och läsare världen över. <br/><br/><i>Din inre rymdnörd kommer att vara fnittrigt glad från första till sista sidan</i>.  <b>Amelia</b><br/><br/><b><i></i></b><i>En perfekt blandning av sci-fi och fantasy.</i> <b>Smålandsposten</b><br/><br/><i>Det som gjort mig mest intresserad av fysik sedan skolan är när jag denna sommar var fast i boken</i> Uppdrag Hail Mary. <b>Dagens Industri, Jan Gradvall</b><br/><br/><i>För alla som är nyfikna på vetenskap är detta storslagna rymdepos ett måste.</i> <b>Tidningen Ångermanland</b><br/><br/><i>Det är kittlande när hela jordens överlevnad står på spel, och vi befinner oss långt längre bort än på en välbekant grannplanet. Weirs kärlek till naturvetenskapen är påtaglig och bidrar även här med en detaljrikedom som ger berättelsen trovärdighet.</i> <b>Bibliotekstjänst</b>

<b>Welcome back to Glimmer Falls!<br/></b><br/>Calladia Cunnington knows she's rough around the edges and her hot temper can get<br/>the best of her. So when she stops a demon attack one night, she's horrified to realize the man she saved is none other than the cold-hearted Astaroth.<br/><br/>Astaroth is a legendary member of the demon high council - or at least he was. Suffering from amnesia after being stripped of his immortality and banished to the mortal plane, Astaroth doesn't know why a demon named Moloch is after him, nor why the angry, hot-in-a-terrifying-way witch hates him so much.<br/><br/>Calladia grudgingly agrees to help Astaroth find the witch who might be able to restore his memory, vowing that once Astaroth is cured, she'll kick his ass. But the more time she spends with the snarky yet utterly charming demon, the more she realizes she likes this new, improved Astaroth... and maybe she doesn't want him to recover his memories after all.<br/><br/>Praise for Sarah Hawley<br/><br/>'Whimsically sexy, charmingly romantic, and magically hilarious' <i>Ali Hazelwood</i><br/><br/>'Reading this book is like standing in the bright heart of magic. I laughed, I swooned, I sighed dreamily, often on the same page. It truly was a sparkling delight, and I can't wait to see what spell Hawley weaves for us next!' India Holton, bestselling author of <i>THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEWOMEN WITCHES</i><br/><br/>'If GOOD OMENS were a small-town, enemies-to-lovers romcom. It's bright, bubbly, sexy, funny, and glorious.'
