When Russia's richest oil baron is killed, Moscow suddenly teeters on the verge of political chaos. Tehran races to complete its nuclear arsenal. Washington finds herself dangerously divided from her European allies. A new evil looms on the horizon. A dictator is rising in Russia. Iran is feverishly building nuclear weapons. A new axis of evil is emerging, led by Moscow and Tehran. And Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy, two senior White House advisors, find themselves facing the most chilling question of their lives: is the world rushing to the brink of an apocalypse prophesied more than 2,500 years ago? “If you only read one book this year . . . this is it!” —Rush Limbaugh, New York Times best-selling author

In the latest high-stakes political thriller from "New York Times"-bestselling author Rosenberg, a Russian president feverishly consolidates power, silencing his opposition, and plotting a brazen and lightning-fast military strike that could rupture the NATO alliance and bring Washington and Moscow to the brink of nuclear war.

Thought-provoking and controversial, Lawless Universe is a complement to, even an antidote for, books that create the misimpression that science can explain everything.

MAGIC'S DEADLY EDGE The stronghold called Home was prospering, and karl's dream of bringing freedom to everyone in this land peopled by wizards and warriors, lords and slaves, dwarfs and elves and dragons was at last coming true. But by attacking slaver caravans, by offering Home as a haven to any eager to throw off their chains, Karl, Andrea, Ahira, and their comrades had made many powerful enemies. Led by the evil Ahrmin, the Slaver Guild was stirring the kingdoms into a bloody war in which Karl and his friends might soon have to choose sides. And the elfin kingdom of Therranj claimed Karl's valley sanctuary as part of its own territory and was demanding both tribute and loyalty from the people of Home. Caught between slaver forces armed with a magical new weapon and elves attempting to steal the treasured secret of gunpowder, could Karl's human, dwarf, elf, and dragon warriors keep the walls of Home standing for long?

The second novel of a major new Feist acquisition, returning to his best-loved series. Written with Joel Rosenberg.

Sie dachten, es sei nur ein Fantasy-Spiel -- eines jener Spiele. bei dem jeder seine winzige Figur als Krieger, Zauberer oder Zwerg durch das Labyrinth eines Spielmeisters führt und einen Abend lang träumen darf, ein Held zu sein. Aber dann fanden sie sich auf einer windumtosten Ebene wieder, und aus Phantasie war Wirklichkeit geworden. Zuerst machte es ihnen gewaltigen Spaß. Als der erste von ihnen sterben mußte, merkten sie endlich, daß es kein Spiel mehr war.

Als ein Spiel hatte alles begonnen, in einem Studentenheim in Amerika. Nun waren sie gestrandet in einer fremden Welt - als Krieger, Zauberin, Zwerg, Dieb und Baumeister - und waren sich darüber klar, dass es keine Rückkehr mehr gab. Doch sie hatten ein Ziel vor Augen: diesem unglaublichen Reich der Phantasie die Freiheit zu bringen. Von der Magiergilde verfolgt, von den Sklavenjägern gehetzt, kämpften sie für eine Welt, die nicht ihre eigene war und wo ein Schwertstreich töten und ein falscher Zauber Freund in Feind verwandeln konnte.
