Das Jahr 2058: Nach den umwälzenden Ereignissen in fernen Bereichen der Milchstraße konzentrieren sich Perry Rhodan und seine Gefährten auf die Erde und deren Probleme. Dann greifen unbekannte Außerirdische die Mondbasis an. Die Aliens sind offenbar unsichtbar und verfügen über eine hochstehende Technologie. Schnell wird klar: Hinter ihrem Vorstoß steckt die sogenannte Allianz – mit ihren Helfern haben es die Menschen zu tun, seit sie ihre ersten Schritte ins All unternommen haben.

Endlich werden die geschassten Ermittler Bennie Griessel und Vaughn Cupido wieder in den Rang von Captains zurückversetzt. Doch die Freude währt nicht lang, denn bald fordert ein komplizierter Fall die volle Aufmerksamkeit der beiden: Ein ehemaliger Polizeisergeant ist bei einem bizarren Unfall gestorben. Hat der Vorfall etwas mit dem explodierten Wohnwagen zu tun, in dem ebenfalls ein Mann zu Tode kam? Griessel und Cupido läuft die Zeit davon: Das erste Treffen eines Ausschusses der BRICS-Staaten steht unmittelbar bevor. Es soll ausgerechnet hier in Stellenbosch stattfinden.

Das Jahr 2058: Gegen ihren Willen wurde die Menschheit in einen Konflikt hineingezogen, der seit langer Zeit zwischen den Sternen tobt. Mit ihren wenigen Raumschiffen hat sie keine Chance gegen die Truppen der geheimnisvollen Allianz. Nur dank ihres Ideenreichtums konnten Perry Rhodan und seine Gefährten bisher der Übermacht standhalten. Die gefährlichsten Soldaten des Gegners sind die sogenannten Bestien: lebendige Kampfmaschinen, die kaum zu besiegen sind.

Im 25. Jahrhundert: Das kleine Sternenreich der Menschen ist auf einem friedlichen Kurs in Richtung Zukunft. Dann aber überfallen positronisch-biologische Roboter eine terranische Kolonie. Als Perry Rhodan den Hintergründen der Ereignisse nachspürt, entdeckt er, dass sein tot geglaubter Sohn darin verwickelt ist. Rhodan schafft es, den Krieg der Posbis gegen die Menschheit zu stoppen, bevor es zu erbitterten Schlachten kommt.

Daniel Faust is back from hell and out for blood. He has a new face and a deadly mission: to find the tiger-queen Naavarasi and his own traitorous brother, and put them both six feet underground. But when Naavarasi’s shape-shifting minions abduct one of Daniel’s own, it’s time for a desperate rescue. With his demonic lover Caitlin and his precocious apprentice Melanie, he follows a thread of nonexistent airlines, ghostly packages, and urban legends all the way to Springfield, a small town with big secrets.

Nobody knows the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas like Daniel Faust, a sorcerer for hire and ex-gangster who uses black magic and bullets to solve his clients' problems. When an old man comes seeking vengeance for his murdered granddaughter, what looks like a simple job quickly spirals out of control. Soon Daniel stands in the crossfire between a murderous porn director; a corrupt cop with a quick trigger finger; and his own former employer, a racket boss who isn't entirely human.

Faust has been caged, buried, cut off from his allies and his magic. His enemies think they've won. They're about to learn, the hard way, that this is one sorcerer who always has a trick up his sleeve. Nobody has ever escaped from the Iceberg. But the Iceberg has never had a prisoner like Daniel Faust.

Trapped in a dead-end town and a dead-end life, Amy Nettle dreams of escaping her abusive father and starting over, somewhere far away. The arrival of a black envelope heralds just that, in a way she never could have imagined. Whisked away to the Saunders Academy, a Gothic manse in the heart of an eternal storm-tossed ocean, Amy is one of dozens of teenagers plucked from dozens of parallel Earths and selected for an education in witchcraft. It seems too good to be true... except. Except no one will tell them why they were chosen, or what happens after graduation.

The greatest disruption in the history of marketing isn’t coming for your job. It’s coming for your customer. Artificial Intelligence is changing the way people think, feel, decide, and connect. Your next customer will be less patient, more trusting of machines, less loyal to brands, and possibly searching for meaning in new and unexpected places. If you don’t understand these shifts, your marketing playbook will be obsolete. Bestselling author and futurist Mark Schaefer takes you on a deep, human-centered journey through the new realities of consumer behavior in the age of AI.

"Text Me has the thrills and laughs of a romantic comedy, but with an inverted message: 'There just isn't only one love story in our lives,' Schaefer writes. If you're lucky, friends will be the protagonists in these multiple love stories. It's high time that we start seeing it that way."--NPR...

FBI agent Harmony Black and her team, Vigilant Lock, face a new type of threat: one from beyond the stars. They'd always heard the Red Knight was an urban legend: in 1954, three years before Sputnik launched, a mysterious satellite was sighted circling Earth, though no power on the planet had such technology.

Are you overwhelmed by the breathtaking rate of change in the business world? Are confusing consumer trends, the unrelenting pace of technology, and the breakneck speed of digital marketing making you feel irrelevant and lost? Path-finding author Mark Schaefer provides an achievable and realistic framework to help you stay ahead of the curve by re-imagining marketing in a world where hyper-empowered consumers drive the business results.

The first story ever told left a scar on the skin of the universe, with its characters doomed to an endless cycle of reincarnation and death. Trapped by his enemies, Daniel Faust - magician, mobster, and newly-minted knight of hell - has been cast in the role of the eternal Thief. Now, the story is dead-set on writing his final chapter, the one that ends with a knife in his back. The curse can’t be broken without tracking down the original Thief. The truth is buried beneath the legacy of a long-dead stage magician and a cache of occult relics from the 1940s.
