"A world made by the Eight Creators on which to play out their games of passion and power, Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often brutal place. Men and women live on Paradise as do dogs, cats, ferrets, goats, and horses. But dinosaurs predominate: wildlife, monsters, beasts of burden--and of war"--Amazon.com.

A Novel

The Dinosaur Lords

The Dinosaur Princess (The Dinosaur Lords)

Um cavaleiro medieval pronto para a batalha, montado sobre seu fiel T-Rex. A belíssima ilustração da capa de OS SENHORES DOS DINOSSAUROS já é suficiente para fazer disparar os batimentos cardíacos dos fãs de literatura fantástica. O autor, Victor Milán, consegue fazer o que parecia impossível: materializar um sonho que milhares de leitores compartilham secretamente desde a infância. Ou você aí nunca se imaginou cavalgando um dinossauro? Se alguém poderia contar essa história, esse alguém é o mestre Victor Milán. Talento e experiência ele tem de sobra. Com mais de 100 romances publicados em quatro décadas, Milán recebeu o conceituado troféu de ficção científica Prometheus Award em 1986, concorrendo com o livro póstumo de Philip K. Dick, Radio Free Albermuth. Victor Milán também é um dos membros fundadores da série de livros Wild Cards, editada e coescrita por Melinda M. Snodgrass e George R. R. Martin. O autor de Guerra dos Tronos é amigo pessoal de Milán desde o final dos anos 1970 e acompanhou o processo de criação do livro em primeira mão. Então, o que você ainda precisa saber para se debruçar sobre OS SENHORES DOS DINOSSAUROS? O romance se passa no Império da Nuevaropa, um continente claramente inspirado na Europa do século XIV. Cultura e costumes, religião, conflitos políticos, tecnologia e armamento são compatíveis com o último período da Idade Média. Mas neste mundo, construído pelos Oito Criadores, os gigantes répteis pré-históricos também fazem parte do arsenal de guerra. Tricerátopos, alossauros e tiranossauros marcham em batalhas épicas, enquanto pterodátilos voam rasantes, como fariam dragões em lendas medievais. As possibilidades são tantas que você não vai querer parar de ler. Ainda bem! OS SENHORES DOS DINOSSAUROS é apenas o primeiro volume da Trilogia de Victor Milán. "É como um encontro de Jurassic Park com Game of Thrones." - GEORGE R. R. MARTIN

Os Senhores dos Dinossauros

Victor Milan's The Dinosaur Princess is a thrilling epic fantasy adventure set in an alternative world of intrigue, beauty, brutality...and dinosaurs. WELCOME TO PARADISE: A primordial world with every species of dinosaur, large and small. And humans, who were brought to this world on the whim of the gods. Knights ride into battle on Triceratops; their heroes lead them on T-Rexes. Karyl Bogomirskiy is one such hero. Once, he held power. Betrayed by those closest to him, he was resurrected by the Fae, magical beings native to the world, who seek to use him in their eternal battle against alien gods. Karyl just wants to be left in peace, reluctant to be anyone’s tool, much less a savior. But the gods have returned to judge their human experiment and to finally rid the planet of the Fae. And while Karyl doesn’t feel like a hero, he’s humanity’s last best hope. The Dinosaur Princess is the newest epic fantasy adventure set in a world where knights ride armored dinosaurs into battle, hailed by George R. R. Martin as "A cross between Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones." The Dinosaur Lords Series #1 The Dinosaur Lords #2 The Dinosaur Knights #3 The Dinosaur Princess

The Dinosaur Princess

O segundo volume do sucesso Os Senhores dos Dinossauros chega para deixar o universo criado por Victor Milán ainda mais instigante e surpreendente. O Paraíso é um mundo extenso, diversificado, muitas vezes cruel. Existem seres humanos no Paraíso, mas predominam os dinossauros: animais selvagens, monstros, animais de carga e de guerra. Cavaleiros blindados conduzem dinossauros para batalhar legiões de tricerátopos treinados pela guerra e suas equipes camponesas. Karyl Bogomirsky é um cavaleiro que optou por reunir aqueles que buscam uma saída para a jornada de guerra e loucura. Mas o Império da Nuevaropa anunciou uma cruzada religiosa contra este reino pacífico e as pessoas que desejam viver em paz. Todos devem ser convertidos ou destruídos. As coisas realmente desandam quando os temidos Anjos Cinzas, antiquadas armas dos deuses que criaram o Paraíso, surgem em cena após quase um milênio. Todos achavam que se tratava de fábulas para assustar crianças. Mas eles são muito reais. E vieram para livrar o mundo do pecado... incluindo todos os humanos que manifestaram esses vícios. OS CAVALEIROS DOS DINOSSAUROS é a sequência da trilogia Os Senhores dos Dinossauros, de Victor Milán, que se passa no Império da Nuevaropa, um continente claramente inspirado na Europa do século XIV. Cultura e costumes, religião, conflitos políticos, tecnologia e armamento são compatíveis com o último período da Idade Média. Mas neste mundo, construído pelos Oito Criadores, os gigantes répteis pré-históricos também fazem parte do arsenal de guerra. Tricerátopos, alossauros e tiranossauros marcham em batalhas épicas, enquanto pterossauros voam rasantes, como fariam dragões em lendas medievais.

BattleTech: First Strike

BORN TO TAKE DOWN BATTLEMECHS... Resourceful, ruthless, beautiful, apparently without fear, Scout Lieutenant Cassie Suthorn of Camacho's Caballeros is as consummately lethal as the giant BattleMechs she lives to hunt. Only one other person in the freewheeling mercenary regiment has a hint of the demons which drive her. CAUGHT IN A WEB OF DECEIT... When the Caballeros sign on to guard Coordinator Theodore Kurita's corporate-mogul cousin in the heart of the Draconis Combine, they think they've got the perfect gig: low risk and high pay. Cassie alone suspects that danger waits among the looming bronze towers of Hachiman—and when the yakuza and the dread ISF form a devil's alliance to bring down Chandrasekhar Kurita, only Cassie's unique skills can save her regiment. AND ONLY ONE WAY OUT. All she has to do is confront her darkest nightmares...

MERCS ON A MISSION... The enigmatic Draconis Combine industrialist "Uncle Chandy" Kurita owns property on planet Towne. Upon hearing news of the secret Black Dragon Society's plans to invade, Uncle Chandy dispatches Cassie Suthorn and Camacho's Caballeros to protect his holdings there and organize the local militia to defend against the anticipated attack. THAT GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE. To the Caballeros' surprise, Towne has become a faction-ridden shambles. The populace rejects all outside intervention, and the Caballeros find themselves fighting the very people they were sent to help. Cassie Suthorn must use her unique woman-to-'Mech combat style to unify Towne in the face of the Black Dragon threat—or be ultimately destroyed...

But their invitation is more than merely social. Theodore's powerful cousin, "Uncle Chandy," has recruited their ace operative, Cassie Suthorn, for a dangerous mission. IN A VERY STRANGE LAND. On an xenophobic planet where honor and duty are worshiped like deities, the freelancing Caballeros are considered barbarians. But Cassie's covert investigation uncovers an insurrection, and Camacho's foreign "barbarians" could be the only unit with enough guns and grit to save the Draconis Combine from its own extremists. And when the armor-piercing rockets and laser fire finally subside, counted among the slain may be Cassie and many of her courageous comrades—as well as the fragile peace of the entire Inner Sphere...

"Wild Cards is the first novel in the Wild Cards series edited by George R.R. Martin. It was first published in 1987 and was nominated for a Hugo Award in the following year. The [original] novel contains ten short stories introducing the Wild Cards universe: an alternate Earth history in which an alien virus is released over the skies of New York City in 1946, transforming a few individuals into superhuman aces, and mutating many more into monstrous jokers. Applying unrelenting realism into superhero traditions, the novel imagines an altered 20th century in which superhumans interact with historical events. Besides the ten stories, there are also several interludes written by Martin, mimicking real newspaper articles, book excerpts, or magazine retrospectives presented in a in-world style."--Wild Cards Wiki.
