They watched in horror as humanity destroyed itself in a nightmare of biological warfare. Now they are trapped in the Dome - an underwater laboratory off the coast if Hawaii.

Scientists. Technicians. Beurocrats. And the special ones, recipients of an advanced technology - as much machine as human, more animal than man. They are the citizens of the Dome. Sentenced to the endless night of the ocean floor. Safe from the virus-ravaged surface. They are humanity's last chance...

Twent-five years out from Earth Heaven Star was halfway to a new world when the strange set in.

It was only small things at first... measurements that were slightly off... instruments that wouldn't stay calibrated... computer malfunctions. It could have been simple equipment failure. But it wasn't.

For on the quamtum level, the eternal dance of matter and energy was changing its measure, and the colonists bound for Heaven were riding a space/time curve down to the deepest circle of Hell...

Wilks was a space marine with a near-fatal flaw: he had a heart. Billie was a child, the only survivor of a far-flung colony outpost. Thrown together in the last hellish night of an alien invasion, Billie and Wilks helped each other get out alive. Thirteen years later Wilks is in prison, and Billie lives in a mental institution, the nightmare memories of the massacre at Rim seared into her mind.

Now the government has tapped Wilks to lead an expedition to the aliens' home planet to bring back a live alien. But the competition on Earth to develop the aliens as a new weapons system is brutal. When Wilks's team departs on their mission, a trained assassin trails them. And what follows is no less than guerrilla warfare on the aliens' planet - and alien conquest on Earth!

Wilks, Billie, and Bueller were the last survivors of a devastating assault on the aliens' home planet. But once their retum to the solar system made them refugees once more, fleeing Earth and its alien infestation in a desperate attempt to stay alive. Now, in an otherwise unmanned military transport, they hurtle through space. Destination: unknown.

Little do they know that the cargo they carry with them is a legacy of death that they will ultimately have to face. Nor do they know that they head toward a remote colony and military outpost. This pocket of humanity at the very edges of space is at the mercy of a general names Spears with an agenda all his own. Now Billie, Wilks, and Bueller face a new nightmare, and it is nothing they could ever have imagined: a gift of madness from an alien world, unbalanced mind, and the experiences of a mysterious pilot named Lieutenant Ellen Ripley.

Billie only wanted what all children want -- the warmth and security of family, the human connectedness that comes from belonging. What she got was a nightmare without end.

Ripley is a leader of humanity's forces against a new invasion where aliens have overrun the Earth--and the human population has been abandoned to alien appetites.

Conan of Cimmeria, mightiest hero of the Hyborian Age, finds his journey interrupted in the Corinthian city-state of Mornstadinos. All Conan wants is to travel on, but he finds himself pledged to protect Eldia, a girl-child who controls the Fire Elementals, from the fell designs of Sovartus, evil Mage of the Black Square. Through a maze of sorcerous intrigue and deadly treachery the Cimmerian pads, and around him the hunters gather.

Djuvula, half-demon witch, who will watch Conan die for a thousand years. Lemparius, high in the councils of the city, who stalks the night in the guise of a huge panther. Loganaro, thief, spy, murderer: his only god is gold, and at that altar he would sacrifice the world. In the heart of the maze they will fight the final battle, when the fate of the gods themselves stands or falls with the one called Conan the Fearless.

Before avenging a friend's death, the youthful Conan must battle undead warriors and Men With No Eyes--two formidable factions seeking the Source of Light, a talisman that can make Neg the Malefic unconquerable or destroy him forever.

In a buried land of huge, blind carnivorous apes, deadly ten-foot Cyclops and monstrous flesh-eating worms, Conan seeks only to stay alive long enough to find his way out of this dark underground world of caverns and buried seas.

Fate tosses the dice for Conan of Cimmeria, and they come up...death. Dimma, the Mist Mage, knows nothing of the muscular Cimmerian, but the vile necromancer's plans require his death. Thayla, beautiful Queen of the Pili, would rather take Conan to her bed, but her own plots mean he must die. The sorcerous changeling Kleg wasn't only to do his master's bidding, but Conan stands in his way. Even the lovely Cheen will let nothing stop her from recovering the sacred Talisman of her people.

The game is deadly, the stakes are life, but whatever the risks, Conan of Cimmeria will play until the final toss.

A chance meeting with giants. A brush with the murderous Varg. A run-in with a treacherous hedge-wizard, complete with socery-twisted henchmen. Conan thought he was just passing through on his way to the wicked delights of fabled Shadizar, but others have different plans, some of which might leave the young Cimmerian dead. He really did not need to attract the attentions of two women at once, and neither of them entirely human. This time he may not survive.

Once a ruthless soldier, Emile Khadaji has disappeared from the Confederation-with a secret plan to destroy it all in the name of freedom.

She's one of the best martial artists in the universe. One of the finest bodyguards alive. And she's back.

Master Khadaji and the Matadors are determined to bring down Marcus Wall and the Galactic Confederation. But Wall has plans of his own and will do whatever it takes to remain in power.

When Smuggler Dain Maro runs afoul of the criminal organization Black Sun, he is framed and convicted for murder, then shipped to the galaxy's worst prison. It's a one-way ticket to a hellhole planet -- nobody comes out alive, and nobody has ever escaped from The Omega Cage.

Until now...

Before Emile Khadaji became The Man Who Never Missed, he trained with Pen, of the Siblings of the Shroud. This is Pen's story.

She is the daughter of the legendary Emile Khadaji, The Man Who Never Missed. Trained in the deadly arts, and christened the Albino Knife, she must find her father...

She is a sensei and he is a Matador, worthy of her four-hundred-year-old blade. Their only hope for survival and vengeance against their hidden, well-protected enemy lies in the strength of black steel...

The ruling elite summons Bork, strongman of the Matadors, to save them from a secret brotherhood armed with the powers of an alien civilization.

Under the Galactic Confederation, there are very few ways to rise above your caste. One is to become a player in the extreme martial arts game known as the Musashi Flex. In the early 23rd century, three people will enter its violent culture: a battle-scarred veteran, an infiltrator, and a cunning upstart. Their fates will entwine--and be decided--in the bloody arena of the Flex. And if they survive, their story will become legend.

The Death Star's name says it all, with bone-chilling accuracy. It is a virtual world unto itself -- equipped with uncanny power for a singularly brutal purpose: to obliterate entire planets in the blink of an eye. Its annihilation of the planet Alderaan, at the merciless command of Grand Moff Tarkin, lives in infamy. And its own ultimate destruction, at the hands of Luke Skywalker, is the stuff of legend. But what is the whole story, and who are the players, behind the creation of this world-killing satellite of doom?

The near extermination of the Jedi order cleared the way for Palpatine -- power-hungry Senator and Sith Lord -- to seize control of the Republic, declare himself Emperor, and usher in a fearsome, totalitarian regime. But even with the dreaded Darth Vader enforcing Palpatine's sinister will, the threat of rebellion still looms. And the Emperor knows that only abject fear -- and the ability to punish dissent with devastating consequences -- can ensure his unchallenged control of the galaxy. Enter ambitious and ruthless government official Wilhuff Tarkin, architect of the Emperor's terrifying dream come true.

From inception to completion, construction of the unprecedented Death Star is awash in the intrigues, hidden agendas, unexpected revelations, and daring gambits of those involved on every level. The brightest minds and boldest egos, the most ambitious and corrupt, the desperate and the devious, all have a stake in the Death Star -- and its potential to control the fate of the galaxy.

Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the innocent and the evil -- all their paths and fates will cross and intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its final showdown. And a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure.

Darth Vader joins forces with Xizor, an ambitious and ruthless Underlord of a criminal organization called Black Sun, to target the young Jedi knight Luke Skywalker, while Princess Leia launches a desperate campaign to free Han Solo, frozen in a carbonite slab.
