Ryan Cawdor is gunned down and left for dead by the new Provisional US Army, commanded by a brilliant general with a propensity for casual mass murder and a vision to rebuild America. Waging war from his pre-Dark, fusion-powered armored locomotive, he's poised to unlock the secrets of the Gateways — as the rest of Ryan's group stand powerless. All except one. Hope may be lost for Krysty Wroth. But revenge is enough.

Ryan's razor-sharp edge has been dulled by the loss of his son, Dean — but grief is an emotion he cannot indulge if the band is to escape the chains of sadistic Baron Ethan. His thriving ville offers a special commodity: blood sport. Now with the group's armorer, JB Dix, imprisoned and near death, Ryan and the others are forced to join Ethan's hunt — as the hunted. But the perverse and powerful baron has changed the rules. Skilled in mind control, he ensures the warriors will not be tracked by high-paying thrill seekers. Instead, they will hunt each other — to the death.

Eerie remnants of pre-Dark times linger a century after the nuclear blowout. But a traveling road show gives new meaning to the word chilling. Ryan and his warrior group have witnessed this carny's handiwork in the ruins and victims of unsuspecting villes. Even facing tremendous odds does nothing to deter the companions from challenging this wandering death merchant and an army of circus freaks. And no one is aware that a steel-eyed monster from the past is preparing a private act that would give Ryan star billing....

In the relatively untouched area of what was once Niagara Falls, Ryan and his fellow wayfarers find the pastoral farmland under the despotic control of a twisted baron and his slave-breeding farm. Ryan, Mildred, and Krysty are captured by the baron's sec men and pawned into the cruel frenzy of their leader's grotesque desires. JB, Jak, and Doc enlist the aid of outlanders to organize a counter strike — but rescue may come too late for them all.

Deathlands is a living hell, but there is someplace worse: a parallel Earth where the atomic mega-cull never happened. Now this Otherworld Earth is in its final death throes. Yet for an elite few, the reality portal offers a new frontier of raw energy, expendable slaves — a bastion of power for Dredda Otis Trask. Her invasion force of genetically engineered warrior women has turned the ruins of Salt Lake City into the deadly mining grounds of a grotesque new order — one that lies in wait for Ryan and his companions.

The nuclear conflagration that had nearly consumed the world generations ago stripped away most of its bounty, throwing survivors back to more savage ways of existence. Amid the ruins, Ryan Cawdor leads the daring few who wage a grim battle in a quest for a better future. As elsewhere in the Deathlands, what remains of the Sunshine State is ruled by tooth and claw and unbridled instinct. It's an alien, inhospitable terrain of sulphur pits and lethal geysers, inhabited by mutated life-forms.

The warrior survivalists are reluctant guests in a reactivated 20th-century medical institute in Maine. Here, scientists still pursue their abstract theories, oblivious to the realities of a world gone mad. But when they take an unhealthy interest in Krysty Wroth, the pressure is on to find a way out of this guarded enclave.

Ruled by a perverse and malevolent Nature, roamed by lawless remnants of humanity, the Deathlands is what's left of the continental US after a nuclear apocalypse unleashed hell on Earth. Here, only a few can survive and still retain hope for the future and of these, none are more determined than the exiled son of a coastal baron and his closely knit band of warrior survivalists. The years of struggle in the new reality made Ryan Cawdor a bold and undisputed leader, but now he may have to contend with his former mentor, the enigmatic Trader.

The mysterious barons — either hybrids of another race or genetic evolution gone mad — are dying. Kane, once a keeper of law and order in the new America, is part of the driving machine to return power to the true inheritors of the Earth. California is the opening salvo in one baron's savage quest for immortality—and a fateful act of defiance against earth's dangerous oppressors. Yet their sanctity is grimly uncertain as an unseen force arrives for a final confrontation with those who seek to rule, or reclaim, planet Earth.

Ali es doña manías: el pañuelo de pensar, los desayunos hiperproteicos, la obsesión por la limpieza y el running al amanecer. Debajo de su excéntrico comportamiento y su cuerpo de supermodelo, solo hay una chica que busca desesperadamente ordenar sus sentimientos. No es feliz (todavía). Konrad es don desastre: sin horarios, sin régimen y sin freno... ni en el amor, ni en la comida, ni en el derroche. ¡Gracias al cielo, nació con una creatividad exacerbada que le permite vivir bien y no privarse de nada! Cree que es feliz, hasta que conoce a Ali.

El destino de la humanidad pende de un hilo: Gaia, la madre Tierra, ha abierto de par en par las Puertas de la Muerte para liberar a sus despiadados monstruos. Los únicos que pueden cerrarlas son Percy, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Leo y Annabeth, el equipo de semidioses griegos y romanos elegido por una antigua profecía. Pero su misión es todavía más difícil de lo que parece: sospechan que para encontrar las puertas deberán cruzar el océano, tienen solo seis días para conseguirlo y, por si fuera poco, acaba de estallar la guerra entre sus dos campamentos y ahora ellos son un objetivo...

Los tripulantes del Argo II han salido victoriosos de sus misiones, pero están lejos de derrotar a Gaia, la Madre Tierra. Ella ha conseguido alzar a todos sus gigantes y planea sacrificar a dos semidioses en la festividad de Spes: necesita su sangre, la sangre del Olimpo, para despertar.

A born daredevil, John Homan joined the Army Air Forces after the Pearl Harbor attack. By 1944, he was co-piloting a B-24 Liberator over Nazi Germany, raining death and destruction on the enemy. This first-person account of his harrowing missions—chronicling deadly flights through skies of red-hot flak bursts and airmen bailing out with parachutes aflame—will leave listeners staggered by the determination and grit of World War II aviators.

Mergulhe na essência de Machado com 21 contos de crítica social, ironia, imoralidade, traição, conflitos e muita emoção. Conheça personagens marcantes, presos a escolhas que nunca levam a um final feliz, cujas ambições, desejos, culpa e apatia sempre vêm em primeiro lugar.

O amor nem sempre leva a um final feliz, e às vezes nem chega perto disso. Cheios de desejo, ciúme, vaidade, fúria e frustração, estes contos acompanham promessas de amor que terminam em tragédias, expectativas que só levam à desilusão e relações marcadas por silêncio e controle. Amar se torna um risco, e se entregar pode ser irreversível.

Este volume reúne contos em que Machado de Assis brinca com o limite entre o que parece normal e o que foge à lógica, trazendo histórias cheias de dúvida, mistério e surpresa. As narrativas colocam personagens diante de acontecimentos estranhos, coincidências inquietantes e situações difíceis de explicar, criando uma atmosfera em que certezas começam a ruir. Ideias como destino, fé, identidade e tempo atravessam os contos, sempre com ironia e tensão, conduzindo escolhas que escapam do controle racional.
