Book Description
It was a dark and stormy night, and the elfin army was massed, standing at attention in the middle of a clearing of the forest. At the head of this army of about two hundred archers and three hundred swordsman were two figures with armor alike yet unalike the other soldiers. One was a tall-standing, young-looking elf woman holding a broadsword to her front with both hands casually on the handle, the blade in the ground. She was wearing a shiny crown of silver and gold on her head, and her long white hair was done in one thick braid at her back that reached down to the base of her spine. Her armor was somewhat heavy, finely made, and was of good shiny steel lined with gold that covered most of her body. What didnt cover her body revealed a dress underneath that was made of either silk or something like it. Standing next to her was a slightly shorter and younger woman who had features like the other. Her armor was a little skimpier, but of the same material. Steel bracers around her forearms as well as somewhat long steel boots gave her limbs some protection. The rest was a chest plate and an Averis chain skirt that went down to her knees, Averis being a special metal made entirely by elves. The skirt has individual scaled plates of its own, and both the chest plate and skirt together exposed her midsection. On her head was a tiara. All of the armor was fit perfectly to her small but muscular, tone frame. Her hair was blond and short, barely reaching her elegant shoulders and was combed back. She stood there beside the older woman with two elegantly curved shortswords held backward in each hand. The army stood in wait on top of a hill overlooking a dark fort a half a mile away surrounded by numerous monsters of many types and configurations but all an ugly, twisted human form. The two women in front stood there for the longest time saying nothing and not moving an inch. All that could be heard was the sound of thunder and the rain hitting their armor. Just then, the silence was broken by the eldest woman in front. She said, Neiren. The younger woman turned to her in response. I want you to do something for me. The younger woman looked at her with deep concern.

The Best of Robert E. Howard Volume 2
Author: Robert E. Howard

Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
“[Behind Howard’s stories] lurks a dark poetry and the timeless truth of dreams.” –Robert Bloch “Howard’s writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks.” –Stephen King The classic pulp magazines of the early twentieth century are long gone, but their action-packed tales live on through the work of legendary storyteller Robert E. Howard. From his fecund imagination sprang an army of larger-than-life heroes–including the iconic Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull of Atlantis, Solomon Kane, and Bran Mak Morn–as well as adventures that would define a genre for generations. Now comes the second volume of this author’s breathtaking short fiction, which runs the gamut from sword and sorcery, historical epic, and seafaring pirate adventure to two-fisted crime and intrigue, ghoulish horror, and rip-roaring western. Kull reigns supreme in “By This Axe I Rule!” and “The Mirrors of Tuzan Thune”; Conan conquers in one of his most popular exploits, “The Tower of the Elephant”; Solomon Kane battles demons deep in Africa in “Wings in the Night”; and itinerant boxer Steve Costigan puts up his dukes of steel inside and outside the ring in “The Bulldog Breed.” In between, warrior kings, daring knights, sinister masterminds, grizzled frontiersmen–even Howard’s stunning heroine, Red Sonya–tear up the pages in stories built to thrill by their masterly creator. And in such epic poems as “Echoes from an Anvil,” “Black Harps in the Hills,” and “The Grim Land,” the author blends his classic characters and visceral imagery with a lyricism as haunting as traditional folk balladry. Lavishly illustrated by Jim and Ruth Keegan, here is a Robert E. Howard collection as indispensable as it is unforgettable. “Howard had a gritty, vibrant style–broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life.” –David Gemmell “For stark, living fear . . . What other writer is even in the running with Robert E. Howard?” –H. P. Lovecraft

Book Description
Area 51 is the tip of the iceberg though the real secret is all around us. Nether space is housed there, from a place where mystical energies were unleashed into our world. Chaos entered our realm with the mystical energies, until the World Governments assembled a team of special men and women to combat these violent situations. These units, collectively called Dark Stalkers held the chaos at bay. These Nether beings, witches, lycanthropes, and vampires in our world were identified and allowed to live among us secretly, providing they live in peace. In modern times the governments were forced to pass a secret bill to have them licensed and regulated because some would use their strange abilities for death and destruction. In the turn of the century, evil has moved its focus to a town called Reading, Pennsylvania, looking for a demon of great power. It holds knowledge that could plunge our entire existence into a hellish nightmare causing the human race to live as cattle, or fodder to the ruling denizens. Also in Reading, PA is a special man named Maximus Jordan, who has no idea who or what he is though he alone is the key to world salvation, or plunge it into an eternal hell. His only guide to learning how to save our world is a mysterious man who tried to kill him. Max moved away to escape the death of his family and a broken relationship but the sequence of events begins on his RETURN.

Book Description
Eric Baine is pretty lively for a dead guy. With determination and deadpan wit, he faces down a variety of villains—including vampires, werecats and ninjas—in Blood and Shadows, Michael E. E. Main's debut novel. The action is fast-paced, the characters individual, interesting and fun. I look forward to many sequels! —Marion Moore Hill, author of Bookmarked for Murder "That's the beauty of my position, Doctor Grimes. I can make a theory go a long way. See, I'm not a cop. The whole 'theory and fact and evidence leading to proof' thing is just one big grey area for me. If I can get a theory to hold together pretty well, then that's really all I need." I cracked my knuckles. "And, if the guy behind all this is a vampire—well, then he's not really alive, is he? So I don't have to worry about the 'legality' of putting a stake through his heart, and then running him through a tree shredder." Grimes stuck his nose in the air again. "How droll." Hard-boiled detective, Eric Baine, and his vampire/assassin sidekick, Azrael, battle ninjas, a vampire High Lord, and shadow demons in this dark, fast-paced fantasy. When Baine's sarcastic client disappears and he meets a mysterious Chinese woman with psychic powers, the story really heats up.
