Die Apokalypse naht, aber nur wenige Glückliche oder vielleicht Unglückliche wissen davon. Silas wird in das System aufgenommen und ist der letzte in einer langen Reihe von Vorläufern der Erde. Die Belohnungen sind groß, aber die Gefahr ist noch größer. Wir sind nicht allein im Universum. Das Schicksal von fünf Welten hängt davon ab, wie ihre Vorläufer abschneiden.

A fugitive on the run, Ahnna has one goal: return to Ithicana with warning of the greatest threat her homeland has ever faced. But as she escapes into the wilderness, it is with the man who broke her heart hunting at her heels—and James wants more than justice. He wants revenge. Desperate to prove his loyalty to his family, James ventures into dangerous territory to capture his father’s killer. But the longer he follows Ahnna’s trail, the more his certainty of her guilt is tested—and the more the passion they once shared reignites.

Ein Mitglied einer Dynastie zu sein ist nicht einfach, vor allem nicht, wenn man ihr den Rücken kehrt ... Eine Entscheidung, die Sean Black vor vielen Jahren mit dem Eintritt in die Polizeischule getroffen hatte. Statt im Familienbetrieb die Fäden in der Hand zu halten, sorgt er auf den Straßen von Atlantic City für Ordnung. Dabei ist er bekannt dafür, kein Risiko zu scheuen und niemals zu verhandeln. Gesetz ist für ihn Gesetz, bis zu dem Tag als ein Überfall auf Marys Blumenladen alles verändert.

Set in a remote village in the north of England, Open, Heaven unfolds over the course of one year in which two teenage boys meet and transform each other’s lives. James—a sheltered, shy sixteen-year-old—is alone in his newly discovered sexuality, full of an unruly desire but entirely inexperienced. As he is beginning to understand himself and his longings, he also realizes how his feelings threaten to separate him from his family and the rural community he has grown up in. He dreams of another life, fantasizing about what lies beyond the village’s leaf-ribboned boundaries.

Müssen wir wirklich abnehmen, aufräumen und uns ökologisch korrekt verhalten? Vorwärtskommen im Job, zu allem eine Meinung haben und rausgehen, wenn die Sonne scheint? "Nein!", sagt US-Bestseller-Autor Sean Brummel alias Tommy Jaud (Vollidiot, Hummeldumm), "einen Scheiß müssen wir! Die Leute sterben nicht, weil sie zu wenig Licht bekommen. Sie sterben, weil sie zu wenig Spaß haben."

Vielleicht ist es aber gar nicht so schlimm, denn durch Mana infizierte Tiere, die sich über die Welt ausbreiten, würden sicherlich jeden offener für die Apokalypse machen. Die Frage war jedoch, was Silas dagegen tun sollte. Er durfte immer noch niemandem, der nicht im System war, davon erzählen. Jetzt war es Zeit, kreativ zu werden. Falls das nicht genug war, stand ihm auch noch die Wilde Jagd bevor.

Silas is inducted into the System, becoming the last in a long line of Earth's "forerunners." The rewards are great, but the danger is greater. We are not alone in the universe. The fate of five worlds hangs on how their forerunners perform. Will Silas have what it takes to win Earth a place in the multiverse? Or will Earth become another mining world stripped of all resources and left a barren husk floating in the cosmos?

DIE WELT WIRD NICHT MIT EINEM WIMMERN ENDEN, SONDERN MIT EINEM BRÜLLEN ... Wir wussten, dass etwa alle zehn bis fünfzig Jahre immer wieder schwere Grippeepidemien auftraten. Deshalb waren unsere Experten vorbereitet auf eine erneute Krankheitswelle, die unzählige Leben kosten könnte. Millionen möglicher Szenarien hatten Sie auf tausenden ihrer Computer durchgespielt. Doch wer hätte damit rechnen können, dass der nächste biologische Angriff auf unsere Spezies nichts mit Schweinen, Hühnern oder Enten zu tun haben würde.

Everyone is after Dean. The Dragon Wizard wants to wear him as a puppet. Telkazorin has found himself a proper host body, one that can help him fight the System on his terms, and nothing will stop him from acquiring it. The System wants its Pulsar. Stagnation is its enemy; what better tool than someone who will live, and die, as its pawn?

Countdown setzt die Geschichte fort und zeigt das signifikante Wachstum sowohl der Charaktere als auch ihrer Kräfte. Silas findet einen Mentor, lernt, das System zu überlisten, wird verraten und findet ein fünftes Teammitglied.

From amnesiac vampire slayers to fallen angels, space vampires to cursed tattoo artists, sleep paralysis demons to ancient wish-granting entities—six stories prove that even monsters deserve a happily ever after. Treat yourself to a collection that's equal parts spooky and steamy.

Where the System demands obedience, Dean chooses rebellion. The System is expanding its reach, consuming countless worlds as it does. Those who do not die are converted into adventurers—thralls who feed its lust for endless violence and conquest. During a chance encounter with one of the System’s agents, Dean Williams is Activated, becoming one of the few on Earth with access to magic. Enhanced far beyond normal adventurers, his mission is simple: Complete quests. Earn rewards. Gain power.

Sides are being drawn, and the stakes are higher than ever. Silas is making allies, but also enemies. Now, he not only has to worry about Earth, but also must save Galen from a threat beyond any other. Many things are falling into place, and Silas is beginning to understand both the purpose and the limits of the System. As always, Silas will need to build a team, one capable of facing the end of everything.

The apocalypse has arrived. Now, it's down to control. Who will control the rich resources of a newly inducted world? Multiple systems, sects, guilds, and incursion parties are all aiming for that control. But Silas believes there is more to control than just land and resources. He aims to win over the hearts and souls of the people while making Earth the strongest it can be.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4, these classic cult comedies sparked a critically-acclaimed BBC TV show that ran for two series between 2002 and 2003. Starring the much-missed Sean Lock, these tower block tales revolve around a sardonic misanthrope who, despite his best efforts, can't seem to keep the world at bay. Holed up in his flat in Elderberry House, he's constantly bothered by friends, neighbours and confused tourists - so he hides microphones all around the block to listen in to the other residents.

Something always goes sideways, but this is bigger than expected. Maybe it's not an entirely bad thing, though, as mana-infected animals spreading over the world would definitely make everyone more open to the idea of the apocalypse. The question is what was Silas supposed to do about it, though. He still couldn't tell anyone who wasn't inducted about the system. It was time to get creative. If that wasn't enough, though, he still had the wild hunt hanging over his head. Seven days to go, and then he'd be thrown into whatever twisted event the system had cooked up for him.

The siren has sounded, and old factions of the multiverse are moving. The Earth in general and Silas in particular have become hot commodities. The system was supposed to give Earth a probationary period, but the Invasion is beginning. Silas will either form new enemies or new allies, and the fate of the Earth may rest upon his decisions. With that will come new opportunities and new challenges.

Silas, now vastly more powerful than he ever anticipated, confronts a harsh truth: brute strength alone won't save his world. Beyond mere leveling up lies a complex path to salvation. Embarking on a rigorous training regimen under the guidance of a seasoned mentor, Silas hones his skills, spells, and crafting abilities alongside allies, old and new. Yet, as his prowess grows, so too does the scope of his challenges. Drawn into ancient feuds that span clans and corporations, Silas must navigate a treacherous web of alliances and enmities.

With less than a month left to prepare the Earth for what is about to happen, Silas must pull out all the stops to save as many people as possible. Of course, if one system wasn't bad enough, Earth has been declared a contested world. Now, it isn't just the Earth competing any longer but at least two systems trying to gain control of the Earth.

The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious–the cunning Sith lord better known as the former Senator, now Emperor, Palpatine. But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for . . . and dealt with.
