Desperately short of supplies, Ryan and his companions are forced to seek help at the prosperous-looking ville of Amity Springs. Hired on to retrieve a stolen relic, they quickly become caught up in an escalating power struggle between two strong-willed lady barons. Each woman covets the cache of predark goods buried in the ville's backyard. But they are not alone in their desire. And all that stands between a motherlode of buried bounty and the destructive power of unchecked greed is Ryan's grim determination to survive another day.

Miles beneath the ocean's surface, a decaying redoubt barely protects Ryan and his companions from a watery death. Battling vicious assaults from cyborgs programmed by artificial intelligence to kill them, they're desperate to escape this underwater trap. But above the waves, a new threat awaits: a massive predark super ship banished to the seas of Deathlands. Decades of madness have led to civil war between the citizens of the upper and lower decks. Now pawns in a bloody game, Ryan and the other survivors must destroy the ship or face their certain end at sea.

On the coast of what used to be Maine, the group's armorer, J.B. Dix, lies dying from a gunshot wound. Having no other choice, Ryan makes a deal with a local baron and his strangely beautiful wife. J.B. will get the surgery he needs when Ryan and crew rescue the couple's daughter, abducted by slavers. But the cold, deep Atlantic waters harbor predark secrets, including the terrifying specter of a USSR nuclear submarine...and its descendants.

New Hampshire is rich with big game, more than enough to feed Ryan and his hungry companions. But claims to a fallen elk get ugly and Ryan is forced to kill another hunter, the self-proclaimed king of the Granite Highlands, over the meat. Soon the hunters become the hunted as the dead man's widow gives chase, armed with predark tanks and heavy artillery. As the kill zone widens across cannibal-ridden lava fields, Ryan and his group search for leverage in the merciless landscape.

Fear and human depravity permeate the frigid air in a once-dynamic Alaskan city. Ryan Cawdor and his group of survivalists go on red alert the moment they set foot on the forbidding tundra, but regardless, they find themselves rounded up by cannibal coldhearts. The companions quickly discover there's a fate much worse than becoming food. Dangerous new experiments are taking place in a long-abandoned military base and, in the bitter heart of the frozen North, new horrors reach out to poison their hope for a better tomorrow.

Hiring on as crew to a merchant's wag-train, Ryan and his companions anticipate trouble as they head west toward what was once Montana. The terrain is treacherous, but the company is worse as anger, jealousy, and male rivalry erupt into chaos and death. But as they get closer to their destination, the true nature of the journey unfolds. There's a map to a mysterious valley rich with predark stockpiles. But is it the promised land they've been seeking...or the dead end they never saw coming?

A civil war raging in the Des Moines River valley forces Ryan and his companions to take sides, or die. Because somewhere in the middle of the generations-old conflict is a lost redoubt. But Snake Eye, the deadliest gunslinger in Deathlands, stands between them and the way out. And the mutie contract chiller won't step aside until he has Ryan's head.

When a mat-trans malfunction strands Ryan Cawdor and his friends in a gutted redoubt in the West Indies, the crystal waters offer them a tantalizing glimpse of untouched splendor. But the oasis is abruptly shattered by violent and ruthless pirates, and Ryan has to barter with a young guide, a teenage boy on a blood quest against a sadistic local warlord, to navigate a land teeming with predators-mutie, human and animal. The race is on to find a second redoubt, buried deep in the inhospitable heart of Monster Island.

1893/94 veröffentlicht Karl May seine Erzählung Der Ölprinz als Fortsetzungsgeschichte. Ein Trupp deutscher Auswanderer auf dem gefährlichen Weg durch den Wilden Westen. Die brachiale Finders-Bande hat es auf den Planwagenzug abgesehen. Zudem treibt ein zwielichtiger Geschäftemacher sein Unwesen: der selbst ernannte Ölprinz bietet eine Petroleum-Quelle zum Kauf, deren tatsächliche Existenz zweifelhaft ist.

In this collection we rely on the words and wisdom of such fine poets as John Milton, Emily Dickinson, Sir Walter Scott, Daniel Sheehan, Wordsworth, Longfellow and a whole host of others to absorb us in a Christmas time of hope and togetherness set amongst a landscape of winter wonderment and Nature’s palest palette. The experiences and memories they share with us speak of a time, of a world, that did have a common purpose and an ambition to share good fortune with everyone.

Fünf Attentäter und ein unmöglicher Auftrag. Mai Corlands neuer Fantasy-Bestseller aus der Schmiede von Fourth Wing. Der König von Yusan muss sterben. Die gefährlichsten Attentäter des Reiches werden zusammengerufen, um gemeinsam einen einzigen Auftrag zu erfüllen: Den Gottkönig Joon zu töten, unter dessen unbarmherziger, unsterblicher Hand die Reichen immer reicher werden, während die Armen eingesperrt oder als Sklaven verkauft werden. Fünf Klingen sollen ihn zur Strecke bringen: ein Leibwächter, eine Diebin, eine Meuchelmörderin, ein Fürst ohne Königreich und der Geheimdienstchef des Königs selbst.

Lügen haben spitze Klingen. Der zweite Band des Spiegel-Bestseller-Fantasyabenteuers im koreanischen Setting. Um ihr Leben zu retten, müssen die gescheiterten Attentäter in den Dienst von König Joon treten: Sie sollen ihm ein weiteres mächtiges Relikt des Drachenherrschers beschaffen, den Ring seiner Schwester, der Herrscherin von Kithan. Diese neue Mission scheint erst recht unmöglich. Denn wie sollen sich die Freunde je wieder vertrauen? Haben sie doch gerade bewiesen: Sie sind alle Verräter durch und durch. Für Fans von Sarah A.
