Der letzte Zyklus hat begonnen. Alles, was David je wollte, war Kontrolle über sein eigenes Leben. Doch als der Rausch des Kampfes langsam nachlässt, merkt er, dass er in einem Netz aus Mächten gefangen ist, die alles bisher Dagewesene übersteigen. Um seine Freiheit zu erlangen, braucht er Kraft–und diese Kraft gewinnt er, indem er sich immer neuen brutalen Herausforderungen stellt. Selbst als Klingen und übernatürliche Mächte seinen Körper verletzen, kämpft er weiter. Doch diesmal ist er nicht mehr allein.

Wir haben es fast geschafft. Afrika liegt vor uns. SIE lauern. SIE jagen. SIE fressen. Noch haben wir eine schwindende Chance. Doch die Zeit läuft ab. WIR müssen handeln. Jetzt. WIR müssen UNS erheben. SIE werden bezahlen.

Es heißt, sobald ein Kind zur Welt kommt, legt ihm ein Engel seinen Finger auf den Mund: So vergisst es augenblicklich alle göttlichen Geheimnisse. Nur die kleine Furche zwischen Nase und Mund bleibt als Spur zurück. Die Engel sind in Aufruhr, denn Gott liegt im Sterben, und mit ihm die gesamte Schöpfung. Die Erkenntnis über seine Vergänglichkeit: ein Schock. Das Versprechen ewigen Lebens: eine Lüge. Das Heer der Engel spaltet sich. Wer die Freiheit will, folgt Luzifer, dem mächtigsten unter ihnen.

John Woods spent his life trying not to be noticed. Now, the survival of humanity depends on it. John was having an ordinary day in London when demon-spewing portals tore the world apart. The System arrives, transforming the city into a deadly trial of monsters and dungeons where power can be earned. And John discovers he has a unique path: Aura. The more impressive his actions, the more Aura he gains. The more he falters, the more he loses. With enough Aura, he can unlock permanent upgrades, attributes, spells, and skills that could carry him through a world rapidly descending into chaos.

Aaron was always a bit of a daredevil. Motorcycles, cave diving, bungee jumping, sky diving... You name it, and if it was dangerous, Aaron was there. Then, his entire universe got pulled into a System-managed multiverse. He was skydiving at the time he was pulled into the Tutorial, so instead of getting a peaceful introduction to the System, he went splat and instantly died. Taking pity on him, the goddess in charge of his Tutorial resurrected him, but due to System restrictions, there was only one place she could send him: The Shadow Trials.

Five friends, gamers for life, gather for their usual game night. Yet, when they use a strange new die they are transported to a fantasy world where all gaming ideas can come true. Together, the party must join forces to deal with the vile Necrolord whose plans will not only threaten this world, but Earth as well. Should be easy for a team of adventurers, but when gaming and real life meet, there are situations which cannot be anticipated.

Nathan Lee has exactly three talents: overthinking social encounters, avoiding responsibility, and farming in video games. When the apocalypse hits, he accidentally dumps all his rare skill points into… fishing. Just his luck.

Nathan Lee has an army of werewolves. His now-sentient prosthetic arm is only mildly bratty. And he's unlocking the apocalypse's most broken skill: [Ability to Ride in a Boat]. What could go wrong? Everything, apparently. After rejecting a sea goddess's gift, Nathan's growth has stalled—bad timing for the Fourth Circle, an infinite ocean teeming with giant killer fish and a skyscraper-sized Kraken.

When the System brought all humans into Eldera, Zayn was supposed to die. Instead he fell into the Hell Zone. Forsaken by the Tutorial, he is trapped here, with everything trying to kill him. And for the first time in his life, he feels alive. He will wager his life on every fight, every fall, gaining feats as he goes. For he is a Stoneheaded madman, smashing a path open with his fists. A Wanton Bandit who'll rip the bloodline out of anything that bleeds. But worst of all…he's a pest. An Undying Cockroach who keeps crawling back no matter how hard he falls.

The Shadow Trials continue, but Aaron is no longer alone. With Mo'han and Talia, and more new arrivals every day, the pressure is on to push further and faster than before, and Aaron isn't about to be left behind. He's going to keep pressing on, regardless of how many times he dies. The pressure gets multiplied when his patron goddess Yendal gives him a Quest: defeat Mo'han Khan. Defeating the new universe's greatest prodigy is no small task, but Aaron was never one to back down from a challenge. He's not going to lose, even if it kills him. And it is definitely going to kill him.

Some heroes save the world. Nathan's busy fixing the irrigation system. Nathan—the apocalypse's strongest man with an inexplicable talent for fishing—has a problem with priorities. After being separated from his allies during the final battle of the first circle, he's trapped in the second circle—an endless desert wasteland where survivors have cobbled together a fragile kingdom on the brink of collapse. And there’s something worse hiding in the dunes: the Dustend, a magical storm strong enough to rip through Nathan's Constitution like tissue paper.

They lost the war once. They’re not letting it happen again. The end of the world wasn’t fire and brimstone—it was guild wars, mutated monsters, collapsing kingdoms, and rifts to realms that should never have been opened. Len and Rick fought through all of it. They watched Harmonia fall. They buried their friends. Now, they’ve been sent back—130 years before the collapse. No stats. No skills. No allies.

All that stands between rowdy long-haul trucker Jill MacLeod (aka Junkmouth) and her family back in Boston is two thousand miles of asphalt. Well, that and the monstrous game the System has had her playing ever since it descended on Earth. The reward: mana. Jill's goal: kill, score, drive—and stay alive. Behind the wheel of a turreted forty-ton semi named Bertha, Jill hammers east from Montana through a gauntlet of every kind of chomping, hissing, rabid creature imaginable. Barreling forward in her magical soulbound big rig and chalking up a bumper crop of roadkill, Jill isn't alone for long.

A humorous romp through the apocalypse, where even a cowardly crow can become a hero. Perfect for fans of Dawn of the Dead, Sean of the Dead and Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies. 'A thoroughly enjoyable account of the end of the world as we know it. The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead.'...

Zeke's finally beaten and/or Subordinated all the other Apocalypses in his city. You'd think a winner would be due a hero's welcome, or at least a good night sleep. Instead, he's greeted with a grim sight—other Apocalyptic domes opening all around him. There's no time to spare. With every passing moment, all the competing Apocalypses grow stronger and firm up their defenses. It's Zeke's turn to go on the offense as he strikes out of his city and takes on all the other Apocalypses out there.

When the System Administrators arrived on Earth, they forced those of the younger generation into other worlds to fight for multiversal entertainment. Bored of life on Earth, Noah has trained to become one of the chosen. He even had his class all planned out–a Mounted Monster Tamer. But he was never picked. So he put matters into his own hands and volunteered. Arriving in a world thick with jungle and hotter than the most boiling desert, Noah finds himself face-to-face with a kobold, which he proceeds to beat into submission and turn into a minion.

Tom Holt’s brilliantly funny new novel set in the world of The Portable Door (now a delightful movie starring Patrick Gibson, Sophie Wilde, and Christoph Waltz). The team of commercial sorcerers at Dawson, Ahriman & Dawson can help with any metaphysical engineering project, large or small...

Locked away in a padded room, Gambit watches as the world goes to hell. Blood rains from the sky. Screams echo through the city. Monsters tear through reality. The world transforms overnight into the GREAT GAME, an apocalyptic battleground where monsters hunt, dungeons materialize, and the System destroys everything humanity once knew. All for the entertainment of the unseen audience.

Welcome to Dawson, Ahriman & Dawson! The team of commercial sorcerers at Dawson, Ahriman & Dawson can help with any metaphysical engineering project, large or small. (Though by definition, they all tend to be pretty large.) They can also create massive great puddles of chaos that might one day swallow up the entire universe. Take, for example, the decision to recruit a certain bearded fellow whose previous work experience mainly involves reindeer and jingle bells. It might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but is he really the best person to save the world from Tiamat the Destroyer?

Soon she's fighting her way through mud, blood, bullets, and intrigue, even as zombies, both real and fake, prowl the streets.
