Vordell was beautiful once. Its people lived in harmony, and their civilization flourished as they learned to harness and control the power of Light. Then the darkness came. The Iron Sky unfolded dark clouds across the land, thick enough to choke out the light of the suns. The ground cracked, releasing vicious creatures that looked like humanity’s oldest fears. The Dar’rak – an enemy long believed to be buried and forgotten – returned to claim the world above. Soraya Tollmere has spent most of her life on the front lines of the brutal war that followed. Now a high-ranking commander, she knows loss better than anyone. By day, she leads troops across ruined landscapes and guides covert teams through enemy territory. By night, she meets with a Dar’rak defector who has kept humanity alive with his steady stream of secrets. On a mission to investigate his latest lead, Soraya is captured by The Demon, the Dar’rak’s most feared soldier.

A special, fiftieth-anniversary edition of David Hockney’s witty, candid and revealing account of his life and work. ‘David Hockney by David Hockney’ was first published in 1976 and grew out of twenty-five hours of recorded conversation with the artist. A carefully crafted, collaborative memoir, this special full-colour edition marks the fiftieth anniversary of the book’s first publication. Hockney recounts his early years in Bradford, where he was born, grew up and first went to art school; his years at the Royal College of Art in London, during which he had his breakthrough; his sojourn in California, which inspired some of his best-known paintings, drawings and prints; and his subsequent phase in Paris, where an exhibition at the Louvre established him as a ‘continental master’.

Claude Monet was a lifelong traveller.

From Normandy to Venice, via London, Brittany, the Mediterranean and the banks of the Seine, his travels were far more than mere journeys: they were an incessant quest for visual sensations. Florence Gentner retraces his artistic and personal trajectory, showing how twenty destinations profoundly influenced some 250 of his major works, as well as the evolution of his palette. Extracts from more than 100 letters, numerous sketches, notebook excerpts and reproductions reveal the circumstances o
