rational being named Asterios, who begins to recount the story of his life. Between the young Athenian sacrifice and the feared creature,

Le Tendre, is back for his greatest adventure of all: finding out
he's a father. Twenty years after his violent past drove away his

A bloody confrontation between brothers-in-arms is inevitable, but who will be left standing?
The life of Jeremy Corbin, an unhappy, alcoholic Wall Street trader, takes a drastic turn when he learns shocking news about his long-lost father. He soon finds himself headed to Switzerland to pick up a mysterious safe deposit box whose contents hold the key to a terrible secret: horrific experiments carried out by the Nazis during WWII in their quest to create the Superman. With modern-day Nazis on his tail, a pretty, wise-cracking CIA agent assigned to protect him, and a deadly spy from Israeli intelligence blasting onto the scene at the most critical moments, his early-morning cocktail is suddenly the last thing on Jeremy's mind.
Months of roaming the wilderness have left John Chinaman homesick and lonely. His bitter experiences have left him wary of white men, but longing for human contact leads him to the small town of Oakridge. There he meets Amos and Millie, old, independent-minded homesteaders looking after their niece Rose, recently orphaned by the fever. But Rose's rich grandfather has designs on the only child of his estranged daughter. When he enlists lawyers, the local sheriff, and a hired gun to help him, John is forced to make a choice: stay out of it, or take up arms once more.
When Chinaman saves Li, a young cook, from a pair of drunken Irishmen, little does he realize he's about to become embroiled in much a larger struggle. For Li is one of a group of Chinese laborers brought in to help build the transcontinental railroad-much to the resentment of the Irish who preceded them. And they aren't the only ones after Chinaman: Sing, whom he dishonors and displaces as headman of the Chinese group, also nurses a grudge. These tensions come to a head in a fiery, balletic battle as a young Samuel Clemens looks on, witness to history.
Jeremy Corbin and his two new BFFs, i.e. the Mossad and CIA intelligence agents assigned to protect him, travel to Belgium to pursue their quest for answers regarding the identity and plans of the secret and highly influential organization known as The Consortium. In between dodging brutal attempts on their lives and getting to know each other better, the trio uncovers more terrifying information about the Bleiberg Project carried out in Nazi concentration camps during WWII, which was not as unsuccessful as previously thought and which could very well present a new and much greater threat.
At Kinney Trading Post, John Chinaman gets accosted by a pair of bounty hunters when a good deed from his past returns to haunt him. But soon, all three of them have bigger troubles on their hands: the Yagger brothers have waylaid a would-be schoolmarm and her wagon driver in the woods. When the trunk they believed full of gold turns out to be full of books, Chinaman leaps in to save the schoolmarm's life. Their perilous escape through Paiute territory involves running rapids on a raft, dodging vengeful bandits, and hardest of all-learning to trust each other.
John Chinaman has hit the road, working as a teamster delivering goods to remote mining towns in the mountains. His path crosses that of two different men dangling from the end of a rope: the happy-go-lucky young gambler Zed Ashe, strung up by people he bilked, and the taciturn cowboy Horace Curry, strung up by his own hand. Curry doesn't want to talk about it, but Zed won't stop talking. As the unlikely trio make their way to Tucano, hot on their heels is a fearsome gang of bank robbers, and the mystery man who's been picking them off one by one.

The survival of the dragon species and that of a whole people will depend on their partnership.
John Chinaman seems to have turned over a new leaf with schoolmistress Ada in the small town of Blue Hill. But his troubled past keeps him from trusting this peaceful new life, and his worst fears come true when the US government passes the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, further inflaming already simmering resentments among townsfolk. John's life is further complicated when his blood brother Chow turns up again, an advance scout for a Triad concern seeking to buy up land along the planned railroad route. Will a reunion between these two old friends ever be anything but bittersweet?
John Chinaman tries to lead a peaceful life logging in Blue Hill while his companion Ada runs the local schoolhouse, both uncertain about starting a family.

But Chinaman's past isn't done with him yet. When the master of a San Francisco martial arts school sets out with his best students to challenge him, the various hostile factions meet head-on. Will John and Ada's love survive the explosive violence?

To prevent this cataclysm, they will have to face threats they never expected, from both past and present.

Ridder Bolster komt samen met Kryll en Bulrog eindelijk aan in Thâ,
in het land van Akbar. Bolster vreest dat Mara hem zal wegduwen na de
tragische moord op Mara's vader terwijl zijn geest bezeten en
gemanipuleerd werd. Maar Mara vergeeft hem en vertelt hem dat ze in
de grimoire van de goden een zeer oude magie heeft ontdekt die
verbonden is met het symbool van de Orde van het Teken. Deze magie zou hen kunnen beschermen tegen de god Ramor en zijn volgelingen.
Maar daarvoor moeten ze naar een archipel reizen waar een mysterieus
zaad groeit...
Ridder Bolster zet zijn rondreis in het hart van het Gewest van de
Gebarsten Aarde verder en biedt het hoofd aan de Orde van het Teken,
die alsmaar dreigender wordt. Bolster is sinds de dood van Mara's
vader alleen, maar kan rekenen op de hulp van zijn leerling Bulrog,
net zoals Bolster zelf ooit leerling was van de Jager. De Hoorn van
Ramor, die onder bescherming staat de inwoners van het koninkrijk van de Grijze Schichten, is een gewild voorwerp en wordt de inzet voor
elke zijde, en dan vooral voor de sekte van de Orde van het Teken. Om
vrij spel te hebben, moet de sekte Bolster uit de weg ruimen. Ze doet
daarom beroep op een bijzondere stam waar ook Kryll, een jonge maagd,
lid van is. De vrouwen van deze stam hebben een verschrikkelijke
kracht: ze scheiden een dodelijke stof af die binnendringt in het
lichaam van hun eerste minnaar...
