  War has spread throughout the world and the Metti virus consumes every continent.  Attackers must now defend their own borders and alliances crumble as greed consumes the strong.  A threat is kept, and a weapon known as The Grey Sheet is deployed as a final desperate attempt at victory.  Even an unlikely alliance between sworn enemies may not be able to stop what's coming. 
   
  Lieutenant Miguel Alverez is a broken man.  Through retreat and defeat at every turn he has been given one final mission:  To take a group of survivors to the mountains of New Mexico where the last American stronghold lies.  Plans change however, and when his plane is shot down and those that survived are ambushed all seems lost until a thin, bearded man called Jonathan Fisher comes to their rescue.  The untrusting man with a killer's eyes, along with his group of escaped prisoners, Civil War reenactors, and a strange, quiet child with a tattooed forehead make him uneasy.  He must decide if he is their ally or their detainee, and When Fisher's camp is attacked by the RSSR he must decide whether to escape or risk his own life to help defend the strangers. 
   
  The conclusion of Atrum Terra takes the survivors down the countryside of America and across seas.  Through foreign invaders, Metties, desperate wild animals, even the very Earth attacking them at every corner, none may survive the Dark End.

  Which is worse? Magic or menopause? 
  Jody has started to settle into her new job as sheriff of the magical town of Harrow Bay. After two months, maybe she's figuring out this magic thing, and the town has been peaceful. Willa starts a new job and realizes something she never expected, while Isabel continues her campaign of terror against the Senior Center tyrant and her quest to really learn magic—at least until the nightmares start. The residents of Harrow Bay are short-tempered, tired, and grumpy after a spate of nightmares haunts their dreams.Once Jody figures out the nightmares are affecting just about everyone, except for Beez, she knows something is going on in their town. They realize a Sandman is targeting Harrow Bay, but why? Jody reluctantly turns to Drake for help, since he has the right kind of magic. He's also appearing far too frequently in her dreams and nightmares for her comfort. If she's not careful, she might end up liking (or more than liking) the half-demon bounty hunter from Hell...if the lack of sleep and night sweats don't do her in first.

  The Age of Kingdoms draws to a close as the southern races of Calasia extend their reach into the regions of Free Callibri, announcing the dawn of the Age of Fire. Follow the Chronicles of Calasia, beginning with, "Where Dragons Lie", a tale of tragedy and triumph, and the birth of a life long journey of personal definition for the Hollow Man, on his quest to uncover the elusive secrets of his nightmares, filled with the suffering of dragons, and lost memories that may lead him down a path of no return. Across the Greensward Plains of Callibri and into the crowded city of Zelia, he discovers parts of himself beyond his control, as time moves at an increasingly slower pace the closer he gets to living out his dreams of terror. All in the making of a man, and the shaping of the World of Calasia.Ride with the Knights of Almaria, follow the elves of Rothgar and the dwarves of the Gunnerdon Mountains. Fly with dragons. Soar through the skies of Calasia, experience a world rich in history and diversity. Witness the rise of wizards and their dark counter parts jostling for control over the looming threat of an unstoppable calamity. And try to understand the malevolence of an alien entity that steers two worlds into darkness.Calasia is the mother of elves and dwarves, of men and women, of might and magic, trolls and ogres, and all manner of creatures that walk, crawl, swim and fly. Calasia is alive, her soul the lifeblood of all things, good and evil alike.Calasia is the mother of dragons.Dragons have existed for so long that there is no memory of when they came to be. Dragons ruled this world for millions of years, taking from the land only what they needed to survive. They made their homes in the highest crags, and were one with the land, the sea, and the skies, natural creatures of magic. The dragons of old believed in the One, Father of the Gods, the Creator, who forged the world for them, supported on the branches of the Tree of Life, Yggdrasil. The dragons roamed free, and took what the world had to offer. They called their world, Calasia.They were masters of day and night, the greatest hunters over all. Steeped in tradition and honor, they took one mate for life. Dragons developed laws and social order. They separated into clans, and when the walking races sprung from the earth, dragons swore an oath never to interfere with their ways.Of the walkers, man was the most industrious, though shorter lived than most. Men lacked wisdom and foresight, and spread like ivy across the world. They killed and fought amongst themselves, always seeking more than they needed. Some grew in might and magic, dark orders, evil temptresses stealing the lifeblood from the earth, twisting it into something corrupt, tempting the fate of the gods, and mythical figures come to life.For the longest time, dragons remained loyal to the oath.There are many stories that weave through the tapestry of time on Calasia, however not all hold such significance as the ones you will experience here, as we come to see how Calasia is inexorably linked to Earth.

  The renowned science fiction author’s landmark novel of the last human born on a far future world—and his quest for the truth about existence.   Living in the ten-billion-year-old city of Diaspar, Alvin is the last child born of humanity, and he is intensely curious about the outside world. But according to the oldest histories kept by the city fathers, there is no outside world—it was destroyed by the Invaders millions of years ago.   One day, Alvin finds a rock with an inscription seemingly meant for him: “There is a better way. Give my greetings to the Keeper of the Records. Alaine of Lyndar.” This cryptic message takes Alvin on a quest to discover humanity’s true past—and its future.   Originally published in the November 1948 issue of Startling Stories, Against the Fall of Night is a rich and intensely poetic vision of a distant future that’s sure to delight fans of Clarke and science fiction as a genre.   “[Clarke is] one of the truly prophetic figures of the space age.” —The New Yorker
