VIDE. TACE.</i></b><br/><br/>The Catenan Republic-the Hierarchy-may rule the world now, but they do not know everything.<br/><br/>I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive and my focus-what they call Will-to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.<br/><br/>I tell them that I belong, and they believe me.<br/><br/>But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart.<br/><br/>And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family.<br/><br/>To survive, though, I will still have to rise through the Academy's ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them and <i>win</i>. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me.<br/><br/>And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.

An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin-dubbed &quot;the American Tolkien&quot; by Time magazine-international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now here is the entire monumental cycle: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King&apos;s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert&apos;s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse-unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen&apos;s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister-the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki-whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

<i>"Passagen är en lågmäld och otäck dystopi som verkligen biter sig fast i läsaren. Varvat med bilder och text så kommer du definitivt att få en säregen läsupplevelse." - C.R.M Nilsson</i><br/><br/>Året är 1997. En tonåring är på rymmen genom ett dystopiskt USA tillsammans med en liten gul robot. Längs vägarna reser sig vraken efter enorma krigsdrönare tillsammans med skräpet från ett högteknologiskt konsumtionssamhälle i förfall. Medan de närmar sig kusten faller världen samman i allt snabbare takt, som om civilisationens ihåliga kärna till slut kollapsat bortom horisonten. Simon Stålenhag är den internationellt hyllade författaren och illustratören bakom Ur varselklotet och Flodskörden. Hans egensinniga och fantasifulla bilder och berättelser, som visar fantastiska maskiner och varelser i en typisk skandinavisk vardag, har gjort Stålenhag till en av världens mest eftertraktade visuella historieberättare. I Passagen riktar han sin unika blick mot Amerika.<br/><br/>Sagt om Passagen:<br/><br/><i>"Hans konst förtjänar all världens uppskattning" - Expressen</i><br/><br/><br/><i>En lågmäld, men samtidigt storslagen, vision av ett söndrande samhälle någonstans mellan Blade Runner och Neuromancer. Den stora skillnaden mellan Stålenhags vision och 80-talets framtidsskildringar är att tekniken inte är något nytt som föds, utan fornlämningar som vittnar om en tid som flytt. Det blir till en metafor över en död framtidsvison, där Stålenhag samlar resterna av den och ger den ett liv efter döden, i ett nytt sammanhang. ~FZ, Joakim Kilman</i>
