Showing results for "the world" in Anthologies & Short Stories

The Warden Kevin Whitten and Harold Parker met in London, England 'that day.' The day the dead stopped dying, and long before they managed their way back to America, to Adrian Ring and the test they would all face together. The only reason Kevin and company survived their helicopter crash in Covent Garden was the sacrifice of a small unit of Royal Marines. This is their story. London Burns follows the story of Hal and Kevin, parallel to the AUD story London, and beyond.

The continued adventures of the team's adventures on Wonder World.

Long ago the earth changed. Billions died. Cities crumbled and civilization as we know it perished. But humanity's drive to live is a stubborn thing, and in the ashes of the old world a new world was reborn. Born of bullets, battle-hardened men and woman scratched out a life on the empty plains of the land now known only as "The Waste". But in a world where every day is a fight for survival a full belly is a luxury, and living long enough to see another rising sun is a success.

A blind obsession. A driving ambition. A relentless, unrestrained, single-minded pursuit of a shiny metal. These are the symptoms of a condition known as gold fever, and, like Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, American mining engineer Captain Humbert Reynolds has got it bad. Possible side effects include: temporary insanity, a propensity for violence, and death.

Ryan Stonebridge and his friend Kristian Hurst are heading off on the trip of a lifetime. They're spending their gap year traveling the world and expect lots of sun, sights, and sex. The guys have a couple of days in the English capital before catching the Eurostar to Paris. Unfortunately, a family emergency means that Kristian has to head back home for a while, leaving Ryan to continue the trip alone. Luckily for Ryan, he's an attractive guy and there is no shortage of gorgeous women available to help take his mind off Kristian's family drama.
