Fantasy epic on a grand scale - a magnificent tale of magic, love and war

Joshua Wolfe befindet sich auf der Suche nach den Geheimnissen der Al´ar, einer gefährlichen Alienrasse, während alle anderen fürchten, daß er sie wirklich findet - die Föderation, die ihm ursprünglich den Auftrag gegeben hat, und der Chitet-Kult, der seine eigenen undurchsichtigen Ziele verfolgt. Doch der lange Schatten der angeblich verschwundenen Al´ar liegt in Form von tödlichen technologischen Wunderwerken noch immer über der Galaxis ...

A desperate race against time unfolds as Joshua Wolfe seeks to save humanity from a deadly alien virus. His only chance lies in retrieving the lost crystal of Ur'Lumina, believed to hold the key to a cure. The story combines elements of adventure and science fiction, highlighting themes of sacrifice and the struggle for survival in the face of an unknown threat.

Captain Rali Emilie Antero came from an illustrious family of traders, wizards, and adventurers. But Rali cared little for magic, and even less for journeying. She was a soldier, captain of the elite Maranon Guard, staunch defenders of the majestic city of Orissa. But her family legacy was about to catch up with her.... For the Guard's latest mission was sheer suicide: a sea-going odyssey in search of an evil master wizard—the last Archon of Lycanth—who had fled with a secret doomsday spell that could destroy all of civilization. It would be Rali's greatest challenge: a desperate pursuit, raging across the great Western Sea to the fire reefs that marked the end of the world—and beyond, to places unmarked even in legend. But only in the uncharted territories of her own soul—and the heritage of the Anteros—would Rali find the power to defeat the Archon and return to Orissa in triumph.

Стэн, не имеющий практически никаких других вариантов действий, поднял отчаянный мятеж против стремительно теряющего рассудок Вечного Императора. И хотя ему удалось найти союзников в этой борьбе и нанести империи несколько чувствительных ударов, на самом деле успех или неудача зависят исключительно от того, удастся ли Стэну и его сподвижникам разгадать два самых главных секрета бессмертного владыки – откуда берётся Антиматерия-2 и каким образом император возвращается после смерти. Именно этим вопросам приходится уделять львиную долю внимания, при том что ни один из других «фронтов» борьбы упускать из виду нельзя – пусть император безумен, но он далеко не глуп, и любой промах мятежников может стать для них фатальным.

The Eternal Emperor was dead, and the five members of the Privy Council ruled in his place. But they quickly discovered that their power would collapse around them if they could not locate the Emperor's secret source of Anti-Matter Two, the economic keystone of the Empire. And so they sent a team of crack commandos to capture Sten, one of their later ruler's only surviving confidantes. But Sten - as usual - had his own agenda. For he knew something about the Eternal Emperor that would shake the Empire down to its foundations. And to play his part, all Sten had to do was kill the five most powerful beings in the universe...

The Eternal Emperor had returned at last from the dead to pick up the pieces of his crumbling Empire. But even that great leader could not halt the Empire’s decline alone. And so Sten—master spy, military strategist, and assassin—found himself appointed Ambassador Plenipotentiary to the Altaic Cluster, where a brewing civil war threatened the stability of the Empire itself. Quelling a civil war is nothing new for Sten, but as the war intensifies, he begins to suspect that he is up against more than a mere local disturbance. Someone operating in deep-cover and seemingly backed by the highest authorities is working behind the scenes to manipulate events and escalate disaster. And that someone wants nothing more than to see Sten dead.

In "Than Kommando" wird Sten, der neuernannte Kommandeur der Leibgarde des Ewigen Imperators, in eine gefährliche Verschwörung verwickelt, die das Imperium ins Chaos stürzen könnte. Eine Bombenexplosion in einer Raumhafenbar löst einen Wettlauf gegen die Zeit aus, um einen intergalaktischen Krieg zu verhindern.

The story centers on Joshua Wolf, the sole human trained in the lethal techniques of the alien Al'ar. While humanity is under the illusion that the Great War with the Al'ar has ended, Joshua is acutely aware that a new conflict looms. As he grapples with his unique abilities and the weight of his destiny, he must embrace his role as the Shadow Warrior to confront the impending threat and protect mankind.

Sten’s luck seems to have deserted him. Having been assigned a tacdivision in the Fringe Worlds, he soon discovers that the Imperial Officers are more interested in having fun than honing their fighting skills. The enemy Tahn couldn’t have picked a better time or place to launch their long-planned attack against the Empire. Sten and his men are outgunned and outmanned—but Sten isn’t going to give up without a fight.

Vulcan. Hier, im stählernen Höllenherz der Company, arbeiten die Migs, machtlos, ausgebeutet, betrogen. Einer von ihnen ist Sten, der nach dem mysteriösen Tod seiner Eltern nur noch zwei Gedanken kennt: Flucht - und Rache. Die Sicherheitsdienste der Company sind ihm bereits hart auf den Fersen, als Sten von einem Schattenagenten für ein Hochrisikounternehmen angeheuert wird, das außer ihm niemand überlebt. Doch Sten kehrt zurück - nicht ahnend, daß er bereits im Fadenkreuz gedungener Mörder steht ...

Sten had fully expected to die in a blaze of glory, taking his Emperor's greatest foe with him. Instead he was a slave laborer in a P.O.W. camp deep in the heart of enemy territory. But sitting out the action had never been Sten's style. And now that the war was building to a climax, the Eternal Emperor needed him more than ever. Not even the toughest prison in the known universe could keep Sten from his mission ... For more information on this or any other Orbit title, visit the Orbit website at www.orbitbooks.co.uk
