The Tainted Throne

Alex Rutherford

Sinopse

India, 1606. Jahangir, the triumphant Moghul Emperor and ruler of most of the Indian subcontinent, is doomed. No amount of wealth and ruthlessness can protect him from his sons' desire for power. The glorious Moghul throne is worth any amount of bloodshed and betrayal; once Jahangir raised troops against his own father; now he faces a bloody battle with Khurram, the ablest of his warring sons. Worse is to come. Just as the heirs of Timur the Great share intelligence, physical strength, and utter ruthlessness, they also have a great weakness for wine and opium. Once Jahangir is tempted, his talented wife, Mehrunissa, is only too willing to take up the reins of the empire. And with Khurram and his half-brothers each still determined to be their father's heir, the savage battle for the Moghul throne will be more ferocious than even Timur could have imagined.The Tainted Throne, the fourth installment in Alex Rutherford's internationally bestselling historical adventure series, is set in the Moghul Empire, featuring a culture reminiscent of the Dothraki in A Game of Thrones

Dark Divide [Dramatized Adaptation]

Brenton J. Cox

The stage has been set and the hand has been dealt. America as we know it is no more. Those left alive are banding together for safety or hiding to survive the coming storm.

After a brutal fight to the Mississippi River, Jonathan Fisher and the few survivors that follow him have begun their journey south. His task is clear and his reason to live has been renewed. Somewhere out there is power, working airplanes and a possible refuge from the nightmare around them. A small mute girl known as Geeda deserves a chance at life, and they want to make sure she has it. But it will not be easy. Lack of food, shelter and weapons makes their trip difficult. Foreign invaders, infected crazed citizens, and treasonous “Wranglers” make it perilous. When Jonathan is separated from the group he must decide to carry on without them, or risk his own life to try to save the last sliver of hope and innocence he knows.

After suffering a devastating defeat in the battle of Norfolk, Lance Corporal Miguel Alverez and First Sergeant Jack Ford make their way west escorting a group of rag tag refugees with a tidal wave of enemy soldiers hot on their heels. Making their stand on Trash Mountain, the Army of the Peoples Republic deploy something new and terrifying. Surrounded on all sides with no means of escape, one hundred poorly armed and exhausted defenders have little chance to survive an attack from a thousand Metties reinforced by an Army of invaders.

Atrum Terra is the continuing story of how average people would survive the total collapse of the Nation and the start of all-out war on American soil.
