Retriever Piper Shaw works best alone. Just ask her last partner. Or better yet, don’t. It’s a sore subject. She’s saddled with the department’s newest rookie, Reaper Payne - an exiled reaper of souls with something to hide. Before she can tell the chief exactly how she feels about that, the mismatched duo is sent on a mission: track down and bring Gallien Cross back to the Netherworld before the vampire can wreak more havoc on the normals. 

Zeke and his comrades have only been in Brindolla, their new world, for a short time, but every minute has been amazing. Kicking butt and not bothering to take names, the group has been moving forward in their quest to push back War, the galactic tyrant. Then the unthinkable happens: Their friend is banished to the darkest Hells. Poof! Gone...just like that.

Zeke and his friends have been with each other constantly since coming to Brindolla. They found the power to support themselves via potent magic that would make their wildest dreams back on Earth seem tame. All of that comes crashing down when one of War's generals manages to wound Orlow’thes, the guardian of the waters, near the Continent of Beasts. Their fight scattered Storm Company to the winds, and this place only gets weirder and wilder as time passes.

In the final book of John Christopher's classic series, Will Parker returns to the headquarters of the Resistance after several months in the City of Gold and Lead. He travels to Eastern Europe and the Middle East to set up resistance cells with young boys who question the power of the Tripods. When they are able to capture one of the Tripod 'Masters', they unlock a secret that they use in attempt to finally wrest control of the earth from the Tripods, and maybe - just maybe - save humanity.

In the first book of John Christopher's classic series, it is the year 2100, and the world is controlled by the machines called Tripods. Life goes on largely as it had in the pre-industrial era, as all of humanity is subject to mental controls which prevent anyone from challenging the established order.

In the second book of John Christopher's classic series, Will Parker and his cohorts have spent a year living among the free men in the White Mountains. The Resistance charges them, now wearing realistic yet harmless caps, to infiltrate a Tripod city by competing in a sporting exhibition called "the Games" (very similar in nature to the Summer Olympics), in which the winners of the events are to be offered to the Tripods for service.

A set of naughty ubernaturals, a demon-powered mage, and a wealthy amalgamite playboy who is far more than he seems. This Las Vegas Paranormal Police Department bundle gives you seven full novels and three bonus short stories, all filled with action-packed, hilarious adventure! 

Chris and his friends had been hearing voices begging for help, but aren’t dreams supposed to stay dreams? When they finally answer the call, they’re pulled into a fantastic world with themes similar to modern role-playing games. The world of Brindolla. This is what every gamer has always wanted...right?  

Zeke and the team are one step closer to their goals of defeating War’s generals and freeing Brindolla for good. Storm Company’s return from the Great Below was harrowing, nearly as bad as the time they had to spend there. Though they bear the scars of their journey, it’s finally time to sniff out War’s generals wherever they might hide - including across the ocean in the mysterious continent of beasts.

They thought they could destroy House Sinister for good, but they weren’t expecting her...Evangeline, a hellion born with the gifts of dual-blades and advanced magic not seen for over a century, had been living a great life as a Guard at House Sinister for many years. But her world is shattered when three rival Houses attack, forcing her to watch powerlessly as her mentor and father figure, Garrick, is slaughtered. His dying command: The House must survive at all costs. With Evangeline being the only remaining member, that means she must survive a full year.

Balmur has been rescued, and War has lost one of his powerhouses. What more could Zeke and his team want? Taking the time to train and rearm themselves seems like a great idea now that they are all back together, but nothing is ever that easy. An unexpected ‘guest’ puts the growing village of Sunrise in danger, but the uneasy alliance that grows allows the group to start tracking the location of another General. Royal negotiations, his growing relationship with a certain Fae Queen, and the threat of the Drow - seems like Zeke and the crew have their work cut out for them.

Lieutenant Orion Murphy is facing execution due to a military mistake, but he's offered a deal that will allow him to live. He must go through a physical transformation, take on the new name of Don Harr, and agree to lead a crew of misfits known as Platoon F. Over the course of nine missions, Captain Harr slowly begins to understand what the 'F' in 'Platoon F' truly means. Jump in today and grab nine missions (plus the bonus) that will seriously push the boundaries of insanity, absurdity, and reality. If you're looking for laughs, you'll find them in Platoon F! 

Zeke and his friends have a final few obstacles standing in their way before they can try and find a way into the Hells. Everything to this point has been an effort to rescue their buddy, Balmur. One obstacle happens to be a mythical beast that might sooner eat than help them, but no big deal...right? Beyond that, all the group needs to do is find the hidden city of the High Elves and convince them to join their cause.

Some truths you just don't want to know...After Keller decimated the Netherworld PPD, Piper and her crew take it upon themselves to bring the fight to him. But is there a traitor in their midst? Only time will tell...They'll need to give everything they've got if they're to even have a chance of dethroning the bastard. The bottom line is that if Keller survives this time, the world falls. Fortunately, Piper and Payne have a heroic turtle on their side....

Keller wants to take over the Netherworld PPD. It'll take everything the PPD has to stand their ground and stop him. But sometimes numbers just aren't enough. They've been depleted pretty badly. Worse, there are far more rookies than veterans at this point. Even more fun, Reaper's beloved turtle, Agnes, has ended up in a bit of a pickle, which is only slightly better than becoming the main ingredient in a bowl of soup. She's trapped in the PPD building with Keller and his goons. Piper & Payne have to find a way to get into that building, save Agnes, and destroy Keller's plans.

There's true power in binding. Too bad it's super weird.... Evangeline's goal of surviving long enough to reclaim House Sinister is getting tougher every day, but the teachings given to her by Garrick forces her to take risks she would otherwise avoid. The Black Ops Paranormal Police Department has learned that Salem is in charge of the local mob, and they've been tasked with assassinating him. That sounds easy enough on the face of it, but Salem is no fool. Getting to the top of a crime syndicate is not easy, and he's protected himself nicely.
