V jinak mrtvém moři u pobřeží Austrálie je objevena oblast kypící životem. Světélkující koráli se vymykají dosavadním vědeckým poznatkům, ale zároveň znamenají velký příslib pro budoucnost. Ztráta čínské vojenské ponorky v oblasti však spustí brutální útok a uvede do pohybu geologickou katastrofu, jež destabilizuje celý region. Mohutná zemětřesení, sopečné erupce a smrtící tsunami věstí příchod ještě většího kataklyzmatu. Mořem se šíří jed a břehy stojí v plamenech – dokáže tajná organizace Sigma Force zastavit nebezpečí, zejména když se vrací starý protivník, pronásleduje je a maří jejich plány na každém kroku? Pokud chce mít velitel Grayson Pierce aspoň nějakou naději na úspěch, musí vypátrat klíč ukrytý v minulosti, hluboko v mytologii australských domorodců. To, co Sigma odhalí, je nicméně ještě děsivější – a může to otřást samotnými základy lidstva. Ohnivý příliv je sedmnáctým Rollinsovým románem knižní série o tajné organizaci Sigma Force, kterou kritika oceňuje jako „špičkové lidové čtení“.

Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway.

Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1: Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

Fractal Noise is the thrilling prequel to the masterful space opera To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by internationally bestselling author of Eragon, Christopher Paolini. On the planet Talos VII, twenty-three years before the events of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, an anomaly is detected.

And for xenobiologist Alex Crichton, it’s a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. But every step they take toward that mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. Ultimately, no one is prepared for what they will encounter.
