When his family homestead is attacked, there seems like no better time to escape, and Kenway soon establishes himself as one of the deadliest privateers of his day.

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote three of the most enduring stories in English literature. Each one invented something the genre had never seen before. He is underestimated in the way that only writers of extreme narrative skill tend to be underestimated — as if the pleasure a story gives is evidence against its seriousness. Treasure Island invented the template for the adventure novel so completely that every pirate story written since is either following it or reacting against it. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde gave the English language a phrase — and a psychological concept ...

This is not the translation you already know. This is the one Dumas deserved. In 1844, Alexandre Dumas serialized The Three Musketeers in a Paris newspaper at a pace that left readers sleepless and booksellers helpless. He was writing, he said, not about what happened — but about what could have happened. That distinction explains everything. His seventeenth century is not the historian's; it is the novelist's: a century of rapiers and intrigue and absolute loyalty among men who have no reason to trust anyone, and trust each other completely. The Three Musketeers — D'Artagnan rides out ...

They installed thirty-seven synthetic Cores in Renn Vasik's chest over twelve years. Thirty-six failed. Some burned out. Some dissolved. One worked for four days — long enough for a fourteen-year-old boy to feel Flux in his channels for the first time, long enough for him to smile — before it tore itself free and took the smile with it. The thirty-seventh worked. It didn't just work. It kept growing. No biological ceiling. No grade cap. No limit the system could measure. Renn killed two guards on his way out. He was eighteen. He'd never been outside. A forged identity gets him into ...
