The end of the Aesir has come, but not as the prophecies foretold. The dread dragon Niddhoggr has devoured the roots of the World Ash, Yggdrasil, and the great tree has toppled onto its side, crashing the realms of mortal and supernatural together. With the gods dead and the fires of ruin consuming the world, your war clan of Viking warriors know what they must do to survive the destruction of the Nine Realms and restore order: they must become the new gods! Ragnarok is a campaign-driven skirmish game in which players form a Viking war clan seeking to prove itself worthy of becoming the new pantheon. The use of a mechanic called Godspark means that battles are no longer determined by merely striking an opponent and dealing damage. Instead, warriors will be pushing, throwing, and crashing their opponents around the battlefield, making their very environment a weapon. As the war clans develop, they may gain glorious new powers that will bring them closer to godhood, or win the respect of the denizens of the realms, allowing them to bring dire wolves, dwarves, and even the dreaded giants into their war clans. With strategic gameplay and epic storytelling, players must write their own sagas and tell of how their war clans have, through blood and steel, clawed their way up from ruin to stand before the halls of Valhalla.

There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it. Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind. Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough¾but then they started shooting at each other. And at the Navy. With nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight. Richard Ashton thought he was just a ringside observer to these now over-the-horizon events. Until the crippled alien lifeboat came drifting down and homed in on his sailboat; suddenly he has his hands full of an unconscious, critically wounded and impossibly human alien warrior who also happens to be a gorgeous female. That's when things got interesting. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). "... a particular delight, offering nonstop action that's both well executed and emotionally satisfying." ¾Publishers Weekly "It's a rollicking fun tale that's impossible to put down." ¾Philadelphia Weekly Press "... the best work (Weber] has done ... the rewards are ample ... recommended...." ¾Starlog

In a time when sorcery and black magic ruled the will of man, a flame within a long forgotten people was once again ignited. It is evident from his growing desire to wield a sword that Chael’s life as a farmer’s son will never be enough. With his sister Taelarae, he makes the long journey to Darvenlure. That is where they meet Iniquitous, a charming sorcerer with the power of black magic and the disposition of pure evil. When Taelarae goes missing, Chael soon realizes that it is the work of this malevolent sorcerer. Frantically he begins his long quest for the one person he vowed to his father he would keep safe. Along the way, he comes to realize that he is indeed more than just a farmer’s son. With battles fought against one adversary more powerful than the last while wielding one of the finest swords ever forged, he rouses within many desolate Sages a desire to survive left dormant for many centuries. With the help of Kaelon, Telaena, Shan Taen and Gheldorh, his newly made friends on the journey to save his sister, Chael begins to unlock the secret behind the true meaning of the Warrior Sage that will bring about a realization that they are not only friends but share an age old bond of blood. And with this new found awareness they ride to Nay lore, the forbidden home of Iniquitous, to battle for the safe return of Taelarae and discover that she holds the key to their very existence.

“Amanda Marcotte drains the swamp and reveals a Republican Party hijacked by grifters and frauds.” ?David Daley The election of Donald Trump in 2016, like most of his campaign, came as a shock to many Americans. How could a man so lacking in capacity, so void of any intellectual heft, become the president of the United States? How did Trump, a man with no detectable personal qualities outside of resentment and the will to dominate, appeal to millions of Americans and win the highest office in the land? The American right has spent decades turning away from reasoned discourse toward a rhetoric of pure resentment—it’s this shift that laid the groundwork for Trump’s ascendency. In Troll Nation, journalist Amanda Marcotte outlines how Trump was the inevitable result of American conservatism’s degradation into an ideology of blind resentment. For years now, the purpose of right wing media, particularly Fox News, has not been to argue for traditional conservative ideals, such as small government or even family values, so much as to stoke bitterness and paranoia in its audience. Traditionalist white people have lost control over the culture, and they know it, and the only option they feel they have left is to rage at a broad swath of supposed enemies ? journalists, activists, feminists, city dwellers, college professors ? that they blame for stealing “their” country from them. Conservative pundits, politicians, and activists have abandoned any hope of winning the argument through reasoned discourse, and instead have adopted a series of bad faith claims, conspiracy theories, and culture war hysterics. Decades of these antics created a conservative voting base that was ready to elect a mindless bully like Donald Trump.

Marcus, a champion of the Guardian Knights and hero of Kadema, has faced many challenges in his life. Now he must face a new one; transforming two baby twins into strong and capable warriors who will be able to protect the world from a threat that has risen from the ashes of the Guardian War. The strongest of the twins, Micael, has shown potential to become the world's greatest warrior. He has been trained and trained well. However, despite the training, Micael may not have the strength to stand against the forces of darkness that have conspired against Kadema. After the mastermind of the Exiles unleashes a strategy that cripples the Guardian Knights, Marcus and Micael are forced to decide on a plan of desperation; seek out a traitorous army once loyal to Luxius, the deceased Master of the Exiles. If Micael fails in his quest to ally himself with the Banished Army, then his life and those of his companions will be forfeit. However, if Micael is successful, then the world will see the might of an army not seen in nearly one hundred years. However even if the Banished Army agrees to aid Kadema, the combined strength may not be enough. The Exiles have constructed a new weapon, which is capable of destroying hundreds of thousands of lives in an instant. Even more terrifying is the mastermind's ultimate goal. If they are successful, the combined strength of Micael, Marcus and their allies will not be enough to stop the annihilation of the entire planet. Dawn of the Guardian is the first book in the ongoing Doomsday Warriors Saga.

Christened "Maggot" by a hostile stepfather, the human boy grows up amid the crude but democratic trolls until he leaves the band to rediscover the world of humankind. But the world of man is a complex and capricious place. Maggot must master its strange ways if he is to survive... let alone win the heart and hand of the Lady Portia.

This book is a history of trolls from their first appearances in folk tales - some people reported actual encounters with trolls, and others found such encounters plausible even if they were not sure - and follows a natural transition from folklore to trolls in other domains of popular culture. Indeed, trolls would not be interesting had they not made this jump, first to illustrations in the Nordic book market, then on to Scandinavian literature and drama, and far beyond. Since then they have never gone away, and in their various guises they continue to appeal to the imagination around the world. From the Vikings to the Moomins, the Brothers Grimm and the Three Billy Goats Gruff, this book explores the panoply of trolls and their history and their continuing presence today
