Armed forces veteran and seven-time New York Times bestselling author John Ringo delivers the sequel to contemporary urban fantasy thriller Princess of Wands. John Ringo versus zombies! Soccer mom and demon fighter Barbara Everette has a problem. It seems Janea, Barbara’s assistant and The Foundation for Love and Universal Faith''s best operative, has been thrown into a coma by some very nasty magic she’s stirred up. Barbara must track down the perpetrators and break the spell or Janea''s soul will be forever lost on the astral plane. Oh, and if she can''t break the spell, zombies will destroy all mankind. Meanwhile, Janea, a high-dollar call girl, stripper and High Priestess of Freya when she isn’t fighting demons, must contend with a spiritual journey of her own. It’s a journey into Janea’s acceptance of herself in all her dimensions (and what dimensions they are!). Where to locate one’s true inner essence? At a science fiction convention, of course. But when rescuers pursue Janea into her vision of a geeky alternate reality, we find this is one science fiction convention where the Guest of Honor could turn out to be Death Himself. Finally, the Christian soccer mom and the Norse priestess stripper face their greatest challenge ever when an ancient Old One rears Her ugly face, and the Mother of Darkness walks among us. Since this is one Mother who is quite immune to any conventional power, including nuclear weapons, it seems humanity’s only hope is God. The question being: Is God willing to save humanity?

Allein gegen eine Übermacht Die Menschheit ist nicht länger allein. Die fremde Zivilisation der Horvath hat die Erde entdeckt und mit einer Invasionsstreitmacht überrannt. Doch eine kleine Gruppe von Widerstandskämpfern plant eine nahezu unglaubliche Rettungsaktion: den Bau einer gewaltigen Kampfstation im All...

Cally O''Neal kämpft gegen die Posleen - und gegen sich selbst Vierzig Jahre nach der Invasion verstecken sich in den Trümmern der zerstörten Städte immer noch Posleen-Einheiten und warten darauf, zurückzuschlagen. Und dann ist da noch eine andere außerirdische Spezies, die mysteriösen Darhel, deren Pläne im Dunkeln liegen. Diesen Plänen auf die Spur zu kommen, ist die Aufgabe von Cally O’Neal, Tochter des legendären Commanders Michael O’Neal. Vor Jahren offiziell für tot erklärt, ist sie nun Mitglied einer Gruppe von Untergrundkämpfern – und muss begreifen, dass ihr Krieg gerade erst beginnt.

Sieg oder Niederlage? Die Menschheit steht vor dem alles entscheidenden Krieg gegen die Außerirdischen. Alles, was noch zwischen den Posleen und der letzten Bastion Amerikas steht, ist die kampferprobte 555. Infanterie unter Major Michael O’Neal. Doch er und seine Jungs sitzen im Rabun Pass fest und sind von den Aliens umzingelt. Stellt sich die Frage, was zuerst ausgeht: Kraft, Kugeln oder Soldaten? Ihre einzige Hoffnung ist die „Bun-Bun“, die man mit den neusten Waffentechnologien aufgerüstet hat. Aber wird ein Schiff reichen, um die Posleen-Horden fertigzumachen?

Die Euphorie war gross, als der erste Kontakt zwischen den Menschen und Ausserirdischen zustande kam und die Menschheit endlich Teil der intergalaktischen Gemeinschaft wurde, doch nun hat auch das Volk der Horvath den blauen Planeten entdeckt - und die sind den Menschen alles andere als freundlich gesinnt ... Der Amerikaner John Ringo ist der neue Star der Military-Science-Fiction.

First entry in a new series with three big all new linked novellas from multiple best-sellers S.M. Stirling, John Ringo & Jody Lynn Nye, and Harry Turtledove! After the extinction asteroid DOESN''T strike Earth, the dinosaurs keep evolving¾but so do the mammals. We mammals have achieved human-like shapes, but now it''s cold-blooded, magic-using reptiles against the hot-blooded, hot-tempered descendants of cats. In a heroic, bronze-age world similar to 300, the Mrem Clan of the Claw and its sister warbands are expanding their rough-and-tumble territory, but now they face the Lishkash, masters of a cold-blooded empire of slave armies and magic. It''s mammalian courage and adaptation against reptile cunning in a clash of steel and will that will determine which line shall inherit the Earth.

The fight to free the Earth from alien domination began in Live Free or Die, and continued in Citadel.

The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die-and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.

Of all the hosts of Eurotas the Troias were the most fell. For they were born of Winter. Between the Solar Array Pumped Laser and Troy, the two trillion ton nickel-iron battlestation created by eccentric billionaire Tyler Vernon, Earth has managed to recapture the Sol system from their Horvath conquerors and begin entering the galactic millieu. But when the Rangora Empire rapidly crushes humanity''s only ally it becomes clear the war is just beginning. At the heart of nickel iron and starlight are the people, Marines, Navy and civilians, who make Troy a living, breathing, engine of war. Survivors of apocalypse, they know the cost of failure.

Centurions were the guardians of Rome. At the height of the Roman Republic there were over five thousand qualified Roman Centurions in the Legions. To be a Centurion required that, in a mostly illiterate society, one be able to read and write clearly, to be able to convey and create orders, to be capable of not only performing every skill of a Roman soldier but teach every skill of a Roman soldier. Becoming a Centurion required intense physical ability, courage beyond the norm, years of sacrifice and a total devotion to the philosophy which was Rome. When Rome fell to barbarian invaders, there were less than five hundred qualified Centurions. Not because Rome had fewer people but because it had fewer willing to make the sacrifices. And the last Centurions left their shields in the heather and took a barbarian bride . . . We are . . . The Last Centurions.

Problems, problems, problems! All Mike Harmon ever wanted to be was a SEAL. But after problems in the teams, college student was a decent second best. However, trouble seemed to follow him where he went. Now, after having angered every terrorist on Earth and at least five governments, buying a farm in a third world country was looking pretty good. Of course, nothing was ever simple. With Chechen terrorists knocking on the door and tenant farmers with a truly Byzantine culture, the question was whether he could drag the keldara into the 21st century before the Chechen put them back in the 6th. Kildar answers the question: Where would an international security specialist and former SEAL choose to retire—if he''s going to buy the farm, it should be one with beautiful women and the best beer in the world. Valhalla on Earth complete with Vikings.
