Caine is washed up and hung out to dry, a crippled husk kept isolated and restrained by the studio that exploited him. Now they have dragged him back for one last deal. But Caine has other plans. Those plans take him back to Overworld, the alternate reality where gods are real and magic is the ultimate weapon. There, in a violent odyssey through time and space, Caine will face the demons of his past, find true love, and just possibly destroy the universe.

Offering deeper insights into the critically acclaimed God of War® franchise, this novel returns us to the dark world of ancient Greek mythology explored in the heart-pounding action of God of War I, the bestselling video game. A brutal warrior, Kratos is a slave to the gods of Olympus.

He is on the verge of losing all hope when the gods give him one last task to end his servitude.He must destroy Ares, the god of war.But what chance does a mere mortal have against a god? Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, guided by the goddess Athena, and driven by his own insatiable thirst for vengeance, Kratos seeks the only relic powerful enough to slay Ares . . . a quest that will take him deep into the mysterious temple borne by the Titan Cronos!From the black depths of Hades to the war-torn city of Athens to the lost desert beyond, God of War sheds a brutal new light on the bestselling video game and on the legend of Kratos.  

Walk the Blind Eternities!The New York Times best-selling author Matthew Stover brings his razor-sharp prose and hard-hitting characterization to the Multiverse of Magic: The Gathering®. From the ashes of defeat, the planeswalker Tezzeret will rise again.  Beaten to within an inch of his life and left for dead by the psychic sorcerer Jace Beleren, Tezzeret has lost control of the Infinite Consortium—an interplanar cabal he built from the ground up to achieve the sort of power and influence few in the Multiverse have ever achieved. Now he must turn to a former enemy for help: the dragon Nicol Bolas, perhaps the only being in the Multiverse powerful enough to get him back on his feet.

In "In den Klauen der dunklen Seite" ist Schattenbrut ein mächtiger Kriegslord und Prophet der Dunklen Seite, der nach dem Tod von Imperator Palpatine und Darth Vader General Luke Skywalker beseitigen will. Die Geschichte setzt direkt nach "Star Wars - Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter" ein.

Císař Palpatine a Darth Vader jsou mrtví, ale boj proti temné straně a Sithům pokračuje. Povstalecká Aliance porazila Impérium a založila Novou republiku, avšak Luke Skywalker, princezna Leia, Han Solo a jejich spojenci se musí znovu postavit hrozbám, které ohrožují čerstvě osvobozenou galaxii. Zbytky Impéria, vedené krutým vojevůdcem Shadowspawna a jeho vojáky v černé zbroji, provádějí záškodnické útoky na planetách Nové republiky. Tato frakce, operující z planetární základny na Mindoru, vyvolává obavy o návrat Impéria a temnoty. Generál Luke Skywalker se rozhodne, že nedopustí návrat sithského útlaku. Spolu s Hanem, Leou, C-3PO, R2-D2 a Chewbaccou mobilizují eskadru Rogue, aby se postavili této hrozbě. Nicméně, plánovaný útok na Mindor hraje do karet jejich nepříteli. Shadowspawn, bývalý důstojník Imperiální tajné služby a Prorok temné strany, se vrátil z vyhnanství a nyní má sithskou moc a technologii, která mu umožňuje usilovat o ovládnutí galaxie. Podle temného proroctví mu v cestě stojí pouze jeden muž, a Shadowspawn se těší na okamžik, kdy ho zničí.

In Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle, Matthew Stover created a new kind of fantasy novel, and a new kind of hero to go with it: Caine, a street thug turned superstar, battling in a future where reality shows take place in another dimension, on a world where magic exists and gods are up close and personal. In that beautiful, savage land, Caine is an assassin without peer, a living legend born from one of the highest-rated reality shows ever made. That season, Caine almost single-handedly defeated—and all but exterminated—the fiercest of all tribes: the Black Knives. But the shocking truth of what really took place during that blood-drenched adventure has never been revealed…until now.Thirty years later, Caine returns to the scene of his greatest triumph—some would say greatest crime—at the request of his adopted brother Orbek, the last of the true Black Knives. But where Caine goes, danger follows, and he soon finds himself back in familiar territory: fighting for his life against impossible odds, with the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance.Just the way Caine likes it.
