After a traumatic incident, Aster's blood work comes back with some unusual readings. Unsurprising, as she’s the last of an alien race called the Kibsu, though she doesn’t know it. She becomes the focus of a hunt, with her mortal enemies, the Trackers, on one side, and the American government on the other. But help has come from a most unexpected quarter. Whoever finds her first, it won’t be good news for Aster. Or for the world!

An unknown vessel, not of this world, materialises in London. A colossal figure towering over the city, it makes no move. Is this a peaceful first contact or the prelude to an invasion? Every child has nightmares. But the only thing scarier than little Eva Reyes' dreams - apocalyptic visions of death and destruction - is the habit they have of coming true. Scientist Dr Rose Franklin has no memory of the last few years. The strangers she works with say she died, and was brought back to life. The question is not just how...but why?

More than a decade ago, the historian Tony Judt considered whether the behavior of Israel was becoming not only "bad for Israel itself" but also, on a wider scale, "bad for the Jews." Under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, this issue has grown ever more urgent. In The State of Israel vs. the Jews, veteran journalist Sylvain Cypel addresses it in depth, exploring Israel's rightward shift on the international scene and with regard to the diaspora.

Over 100 generations, Mia's family has shaped Earth's history to push humanity to the stars, making brutal, wrenching choices along the way. And now Mia finds herself about to help launch the first people into space. She can't take them to the stars, not quite yet. But with her adversary almost upon her, and with the future of the planet at stake, it's becoming clearer that obeying the first rule is no longer an option.

Adventurer Sylvain Tesson has led a restless life, riding across Central Asia on horseback, freeclimbing the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, and traversing the Himalayas by foot. But while recovering from an accident that left him in a coma, and nursing his wounds from a lost love, he found himself domesticated, his lust for life draining with each moment spent staring at a screen. An expedition to the mountains of Tibet, in search of the famously elusive snow leopard, presented itself as a cure.

Take four friends, put them on two Ural motorcycles (complete with sidecars), send them off on a 2,500-mile odyssey retracing history’s most famous retreat, add what some might consider an excessive amount of Vodka, and you’ve got Sylvain Tesson’s Berezina, a riotous and erudite book that combines travel, history, comradery, and adventure.

Mia is not sure what she is, but she isn't human. Smarter, stronger than her peers, all she knows are the rules: there can never be three for too long; always run, never fight. When she finds herself in Germany 1945, she must turn the Nazis' most trusted scientist with an offer: abandon the crumbling Nazi party, escape Germany with your life, come to work for the Americans building rockets. But someone is watching her work. An enemy who's smarter, stronger, and decidedly not human....

She can't take them to the stars, not quite yet, but she's getting them ever closer. But a terrible adversary is upon her, threatening the future of two species.

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel, read by a returning cast. We always thought the biggest threat to humanity would come from the outside. We were wrong. As the human race picks up the pieces of destruction left behind, a new world order emerges. New alliances are formed. Old divisions are strengthened. And, with a power struggle fuelled by the threat of mutually assured destruction, nothing is certain.

Dans cette version moderne et macabre de Cendrillon, vous serez confronté aux tourments et à l'horreur pure du plus sombre des coeurs, celui d'une mère sans amour. Depuis les cendres naîtra une force sans égale, un esprit de vengeance destiné à étendre les ténèbres de la nuit...

Au début du mois d'avril 2011, un homme de 50 ans disparaissait sans laisser de traces, avant qu'on ne retrouve les corps de sa femme, de leurs quatre enfants et de leurs deux chiens enterrés sous la terrasse de leur maison nantaise. Presque dix ans plus tard, les innombrables mystères qui entourent "l'affaire Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès" font de celle-ci le fait divers français le plus indéchiffrable et discuté de ce début de millénaire.

Devant les coups du sort il n'y a pas trente-six choix possibles. Soit on lutte, on se démène et l'on fait comme la guêpe dans un verre de vin. Soit on s'abandonne à vivre. C'est le choix des héros de ces nouvelles. Ils sont marins, amants, guerriers, artistes ou voyageurs, ils vivent à Paris, Zermatt ou Riga, en Afghanistan, en Yakoutie, au Sahara. Tous ont choisi une "résignation joyeuse, désespérée face à ce qui advient".

"Avec mon ami le guide de haute montagne Daniel du Lac, je suis parti de Menton au bord de la Méditerranée pour traverser les Alpes à ski, jusqu'à Trieste, en passant par l'Italie, la Suisse, l'Autriche et la Slovénie. De 2018 à 2021, à la fin de l'hiver, nous nous élevions dans la neige. Le ciel était vierge, le monde sans contours, seul l'effort décomptait les jours. Je croyais m'aventurer dans la beauté, je me diluais dans une substance. Dans le Blanc tout s'annule - espoirs et regrets. Pourquoi ai-je tant aimé errer dans la pureté ?".

" En anglais, on appelle “stacks” les piliers de la mer, détachés de la côte. Autour du monde, ces sentinelles de roche se dressent par milliers devant les falaises côtières. Je veux me balancer dans les vagues, grimper ces aiguilles au milieu des oiseaux. À l’écart, les stacks ressemblent aux dandys, aux rebelles humains. Qui êtes-vous, tours de la haute mer ? Le dernier refuge peut-être ? Tout bouge autour de nous, vous ne reculez pas. ". Sylvain Tesson.

Une jeune femme violemment agressée et laissée pour morte par trois monstres sur une plage de la côte du Maine. Un petit village touché par des disparitions multiples et des cérémonies païennes cauchemardesques. Un shérif lugubre et alcoolique, incapable de mettre fin au fléau. Un tueur en série libéré, puis recruté afin de trouver la bête sévissant dans le parc de l’Océan. Une enseignante à la beauté d’Aphrodite qui sacrifie tout pour sauver les siens.
