Uzavřením přechodného míru Derek Sagan a rebelové společně zkříží plány corasiánské invaze. Jakmile se z nich opět stanou nepřátelé, uchýlí se rebelové k odporu a Sagan se vrátí ke své kampani, vedoucí ke svržení zkorumpované galaktické vlády. Má v plánu prohlásit Diona za krále dynastie Starfireů – a sám sebe postavit do role vládnoucí za královským trůnem. Na jedné planetě plné hříchu a korupce se však ukrývá zbraň – sotva deset centimetru široká. Pokud dojde k její aktivaci, tato zdánlivě neškodná krystalická tuba vypálí díru do vesmíru… a zničí materiál stvoření. Sagan tuto zbraň chce. Paní Maigrey ji chce. A rovněž Abdiel, krutý génius, který vládne zdrogované armádě bezmyslých otroků. A tak se Dion zmítá v tomto souboji, když se musí postavit tváří v tvář dosud nejtěžší zkoušce a v této bitvě získat právo na mezihvězdný trůn.

Mladý Starfire je nadějí vesmíru: koncem zkorumpované vlády, koncem velkého teroru Corasiánů… nebo není? Přestože Diona chrání Pán Válek Derek Sagan a paní Maigrey Morianna a přestože má zlověstnou prostorovou rotační bombu, je chlapec stále velmi nezkušený. Když Sagan padne do léčky, paní Maigrey ví, že jen ona jediná má šanci ho zachránit. A aby to mohla udělat, musí opustit Diona a nechat celý vesmír otevřený corasiánskému útoku. Nyní v sobě Dion musí najít pověstnou sílu královského rodu Starfireů anebo vládnout mrtvému vesmíru.

série: Brána smrti díl v sérii: 5 Chaos panuje všude, když Vládce Nexu poroučí svému služebníku Haplovi a lidskému dítěti známému jako Zmar podpořit dílo jejich pána na Arianu, říši Vzduchu. Ale jejich někdejší společník Alfréd byl polapen ve smrticím Labyrintu. A nájemný vrah Hugh Ruka byl jakýmsi způsobem oživen, aby dokončil své temné poslání. Co je však mnohem závažnější, zlá moc, kterou Haplo a Alfréd objevili na Chelestře, odtamtud unikla. Jak se Haplovy pochybnosti o jeho pánu stále prohlubují, musí se rozhodnout, zda má poslechnout Pána Nexu anebo zradit tohoto mocného Patryna… a usilovat o nastolení všesvětového míru. Cyklus Brána smrti Před tisíciletími zuřila bitva mezi Sartany a Patryny. Sartani rozštěpili svět do čtyř říší – Vzduchu, Ohně, Kamene a Vody – a pak zmizeli. Ale nyní obě tyto rasy znovu objevily jedna druhou pomocí magie Brány smrti – a hrozí, že válka vypukne nanovo.

Galaktická revoluce svrhla dynastii Starfireů a nastolila vládu Demokratické republiky. Podporovat zavražděného krále se nyní trestá smrtí. Ale ve vzdálených světech žije několik přeživších Strážců, kteří ukrývají nebezpečné tajemství: Kdesi v galaxii žije pravý následník trůnu. Po stopách ukrytého krále se vydá Pán Válek, bezohledný republikánský generál, který umí zacházet s krvemečem. Jen několik statečných rebelů se odváží proti němu postavit: mladý Dion, který se snaží najít svůj osud, žoldák Tusk, velitel Dixter, stojící mimo zákon a krásná paní Maigrey, jediná žijící osoba, která se může rovnat s mazaným Pánem Válek. A tak je čeká rozhodující bitva proti galaktické korupci – rozhodující oběť za slávu ztraceného královského trůnu.

But Haplo's lord has decreed all Sartan to be the enemy, and Haplo dares not go against his lord. Now the companions have arrived in a land where humans, elves, and dwarves have learned to live in peace. Unaware of an even greater threat to all the realms, it is Sartan and Patryn who will disrupt this alliance of the lesser races in their struggle to gain control of all four worlds. Only Alfred and Haplo realize that they have a much older -- and more powerful -- enemy than each other...

As war threatens to engulf the land, lifelong friends reunite for an adventure that will change their lives and shape their world forever . . . When Tanis, Sturm, Caramon, Raistlin, Flint, and Tasslehoff see a woman use a blue crystal staff to heal a villager, they wonder if it's a sign the gods have not abandoned them after all. Fueled by this glimmer of hope, the Companions band together to uncover the truth behind the gods' absence—though they aren't the only ones with an interest in the staff. The Seekers, a new religious order, wants the artifact for their own ends, believing it will help them replace the gods and overtake the continent of Ansalon. Now, the Companions must assume the unlikely roles of heroes if they hope to prevent the staff from falling into the hands of darkness.

War can get a fellow killed. The fearless draconians of the War of the Lance have retired from the field of battle to a pleasant valley in the Kharolis Mountains. Well, it would be pleasant, if it weren't for some dwarves, whose irritating feuding prevents the draconians from realizing their greatest hope -- the ability to continue their doomed race. When the dwarves discover a map leading to a fortune buried in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, the draconians are swept up in a feverish race for treasure. Little do both sides realize that they are part of the strange and terrible destiny descending upon Krynn during the Summer of Flame. A destiny that includes the children of Chaos ... the fire dragons! The Doom Brigade is the first installment in The Chaos War series, stories set during the war of the Dragons of Summer Flame, the "New York Times" best-selling novel co-authored by Margaret Weis.

Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms--sky, stone, fire, and water--then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms--and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world...In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water--traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince--by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people--and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus--a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.

"Caramon must travel back and forth in time in order to save the world from his twin brother, Raistlin who has become the Master of the Tower of High Sorcery."-- (Source of summary not specified)

The world of Krynn is ever changing, and even the gods can be taken by surprise. And if that’s true of the gods, what chance can a mere mortal have? Caught up in forces none of them could hope to face alone, a small but determined band of adventurers come together in a desperate attempt to stop an invasion.Mina, as enigmatic as ever, escapes imprisonment to set off on a quest that will test even her considerable will. All the while, evil spreads across the land, gaining ground with each new day. With so much at stake, with the very soul of Krynn on the line, champions must be found even in the darkest places.

On steamy Pryan, never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain have created a jungle so vast that humans and elves dwell high in the trees and only dwarves live anywhere near the ground. From the treetops the aristocratic elves sell weapons to the other races, whose incessant warfare sends a steady steam of profits and essential resources skyward. Now, generations of dissent and race hatred will not heal -- not even under the threat of annihilation at the hands of legendary Titans. Armed with little more than their wits and prophecy, an elf, a human, and a dwarf must unite to try to save the world from destruction. "From the Paperback edition."

The climatic fourth and final novel in the Dragonships of Vindras series, Doom of the Dragon, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. In three previous novels, Skylan Ivorson overcame obstacles that would have defeated a lesser man, rising from obscurity to become the Chief of Chiefs of the fearsome Vindrasi who sail their living dragonships far and wide to raid and plunder for the glory of the gods. However, a cruel twist of fate struck him down before he and his beloved could complete their quest for the five sacred dragonbones that would summon the great dragon Ilyrion and save their people from destruction at the hands of an evil god. But even true death is denied him, and his destiny is unfulfilled. Caught between life and death, he must lead those who journeyed with him to battle the evil god and the vast army of the god and his human emperor. Skylan must fight as he never has before to win back his life and his love, while seeking the last Spiritbone--the key to summoning the ultimate victory--before it can be snatched away by the forces of evil. With Doom of the Dragon, Weis and Hickman have crafted a pulse-pounding fantasy adventure that brings their great Dragonships of Vindras saga to a rousing, satisfying conclusion that will stir the passions of their legions of fans.
