Nicht selten werden in Vernia Kriminalfälle ungeklärt mit dem Vermerk des Supranaturalismus zu den Akten gelegt, als sei eine unbekannte Naturgewalt am Werk gewesen. Diese Grenzfälle sind das tägliche Brot privater Ermittler kurioser und unglaublicher Phänomene. "Ein Detektivroman in der Tradition von Edgar Allan Poe und H. G. Wells, erzählt in sieben übernatürlichen Fällen."

Dans un avenir pas si lointain, la mort n'est plus définitive : vous pouvez sauvegarder votre conscience et vos souvenirs et les réimplanter dans un nouveau corps. De fait, pour Takeshi Kovacs, mourir n'est plus qu'un accident de parcours : il a déjà été tué plusieurs fois. C'étaient les risques du métier dans les Corps diplomatiques, les troupes d'élite du Protectorat des Nations unies expédiées à travers la galaxie. Mais cette fois, on le ramène sur Terre pour mener l'enquête : un riche magnat veut élucider sa propre mort. La police a conclu au suicide.

Humanity is dying, hunted to extinction by creatures of legend. One boy was born to save them all. That boy just got knifed in the back. He looked a bit too much like Aaron, you see. Now it’s Aaron’s job to step up, lest his death correct that little mix-up. But Aaron’s skills as a street rat run more towards stealing and stabbing than saving. The more he learns of what brought dear dead Markus to that fatal alleyway, the more he has to wonder just what the world’s savior was really up to the night the wrong boy died.

Spring has come, and with it the dragons, using tactics they've no right to know. Not without a more experienced mind leading them. As suspicions around King Orin's state of humanity deepen, Aaron steps foot into the wider world for the first time. And oh, there are so many plots to be plotted, out here.

With corporate meatheads on her ass and a necro-tech blight between her and salvation, Riko is going to have to fight meaner, work smarter, and push harder than she's ever had to. And that's just to make it through the day.

Destroy Creation: Phase II continues the Destruction Series story with Thomas learning to survive in a world that does not know of his existence.

Being a mercenary isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when Riko's hard-won reputation has taken a hard dive into f--ked. Now she's fair game for every Tom, Dick, and Blow looking to score some cred. In this city, credibility means everything - there's no room for excuses. She still doesn't know what she did to screw up so badly, and chasing every gone-cold lead is only making it worse. Without help and losing ground fast, Riko has a choice: break every rule of the street on her search for answers...or die trying.
