It hasn't even been a year since I took down LuxCorp and helped pioneer a bold new model for Elseworlder integration. How did I do it? Why, with an old country Bed & Breakfast Inn and a bevy of beautiful women by my side. But things aren't all roses and daffodils just yet. In fact, Earth has just blipped onto the radar of the ancient sphinxes—powerful beings who will judge if our world is fit to keep our Elseworlders portals. The Arbiter has deemed a series of trials we need to pass in order to prove our worth.

What’s more, I have to stay focused on my mission. But when there’s downtime.

The Battle Frigidus marked the final installment of Rome’s trilogy of monumental civil wars. Those previous battles fought between Caesar and Pompey and again between Constantine and Licinius might be better remembered, but never had the stakes been higher than when east battled west in the rocky outcrops of the Julian Pass. As Rome goes, so does the ...

Wildflowers and Seedcorn recounts the first two years of the Civil War from the perspective of three central characters: Gus, the disaffected Virginian who forsakes his father by fleeing north to fight for the Federals; Charlie, the stubbornly ambitious son of a wealthy planter from Fort Smith who ends up riding for Quantrill, so eager to kill for the Confederacy that he becomes something quite different than a soldier; John, the son of a Kentucky farmer who follows his inept father into battle and surprises even himself when he finds his footing among Forrest’s cavalry.

Un meurtre odieux a été commis. Porphyre Petrovitchi, juge d'instruction, soupçonne un jeune étudiant en droit, Raskolnikov. Plutôt que de le confondre sur le terrain du droit, vulgaire et insignifiant, il conduit le suspect vers ces zones de la conscience où le meurtre est insupportable car il détruit la raison d'être de l'homme en tant qu'homme. Autour de ce noyau gravitent plusieurs personnages qui, ensemble, offrent le tableau d'une condition humaine d'autant plus tragique qu'elle est l'expression de l'impuissance des individus de vivre selon le grain de lumière qui est en eux.
