Sloan Park has spent his whole second life building toward a fight like this. He's killed gods and kept their power. He's dragged monsters out of the deepest Rifts and bound them to his will. He's taken thousands of ordinary, terrified people and forged them into Hunters strong enough to stand on their own. Now the harvest is here, and everything he's ever taken stands with him.

After a successful auction, the young Prince Edgar requested Derek’s help on an issue that concerned the safety of the entire Kingdom of Cydaria. A new, level 250 raid dungeon appeared, and Edgar needed the kingdom’s elite to help clear it before the unstable dungeon overflowed, or even worse, broke. Leaving his shop in the trusting hands of Malorie, and with everyone’s insistence that he go, Derek agreed to the prince’s request and joined him and the others on the raid. However, the dungeon wasn’t what anyone was expecting, and when they went inside, they found that it was a trial dungeon.

They Thought Wrong. Bob Arnold was part of testing ancient technology that does not function correctly. After a decade, it is disposed of—but the damage is already done. The device pings a new alien civilization and brings it to Earth, along with a newer version of the System and its capabilities. They are not here to negotiate or understand. They are here to divide and conquer through a false evaluation and tutorial. Except they make a blunder in their assumptions. Humanity is not separated from the Galactic System because it is weak or primitive.

A decade ago, developers built information-sharing software by writing a lot of custom code in a single code base, then adding layers of caching. Now we build information systems: interdependent software and services, data platforms, and event streams. Many of our software-to-systems initiatives fail, though, and when they do, we double down on traditional linear approaches. But linear thinking cannot resolve systems challenges. We need to shift to systems thinking.

The average professional is interrupted every eleven minutes and spends more than half the workday reacting rather than leading. In The 0–10 Rule: A Science-Backed System for Laser Focus in a Busy World, behavioral scientist Dr. Michelle Rozen, PhD, introduces a framework rooted in clinical...

With the galaxy thrown into chaos by mutual breaches of the Two Hundred Years' peace, what seemed like an isolated incident on the Thelicosa/Merida border has become an epidemic. In the midst of this chaos, the Thelicosan and Meridan fleets on their respective borders have come to a sort of tense peace after the events in Book II, but now it's clear: Somebody wants war. And it's not the Free Systems of the galaxy.  

A world normally hidden beneath equations and laboratory instruments unfolds here as a living, dynamic foundation of existence. This book reveals how tunneling, coherence, entanglement, and quantum uncertainty shape the deepest processes of biology—from photosynthesis and enzymatic catalysis to genetic variation, neural complexity, and the evolution of life itself.

Bienvenue à Torith ! Cité de tous les mystères, où l'aristocratie intrigue sans relâche. Où les alliances se nouent dans le plus grand secret.

Dans cette ville où il voudrait se faire un nom, ses pouvoirs attisent toutes les convoitises. À qui accorder sa confiance, dans ce jeu dont il ignore les règles ? Pour lui comme pour ceux qui ont juré sa perte, la partie ne fait que commencer.
