A combination of fiction and nonfiction - impossible to tell which - this is the story of one man who lives to tell the story after the jetliner he is on coming from Asia starts breaking apart in a storm at the Arctic Circle above Canada. Living through the experience is horrendous enough by itself, but when Travis James realizes that his life is thought to be forfeited in the wreckage and there is no help coming? He goes into survival mode as his damaged body wreaks havoc and keeps him trapped in the wilderness until he heals enough to start traveling south to safety.

Marshall McLuhan was the greatest prophet of the digital age. In the 1960s, McLuhan, a Canadian literary theorist, turned his attention toward the budding and befuddling electronic age. Like most prophets, McLuhan became one through a fascination with God. Prophets divine their wisdom from a source, and Digital Communion shows that McLuhan's was his own Catholic faith. In other words, the greatest prophet of the digital age was an ardent Christian. A reconsideration of his vision can change the way we view the online world.

TC's adventures continue. This time he decides to join a fighting tournament in Saramis, and it is not just a simple tournament. It is called a Five Star Tournament where the winner will be able to get a five star gold companion, Angel, as a prize. The reason sounds enticing but also suspicious. Having spent enough time learning about the local life, TC’s hunch tells him there is more to the tournament than everyone thinks. Strange rules and Angel’s Master’s unwillingness to see anyone until the winner is decided adds to the mystery.

A twisted tale of three unlikely heroes. Heretic monk turned sorcerer, Aldous Weaver. Infamous crusader turned fugitive, Kendrick the Cold. Aristocrat, rogue, monster hunter, and legend in his own mind, Theron Ward. Three men condemned to die for their crimes find in each other both the will and the means to survive. A dark brotherhood with sword and sorcery is forged, and all monsters meek and mighty do fear the three.

When a rich mundane shows up to harass the local magicals, everyone in town knows he’s a menace. There’s nothing they can do, though, at least not magically. Not with the worst snowstorm in decades about to bury Alfheim - and the Alfheim Pack’s full moon run. With natural threats occupying the elves, unraveling the danger the interloper poses to the town falls to Frank Victorsson and Sheriff Ed Martinez. But Frank is consumed with finding his mystery woman, and things quickly spiral out of control…

Altai has managed to accomplish the impossible. He survived in the Red Zone and won the tournament—but the victory didn't give him the satisfaction he'd been seeking. He took revenge on the man who had ruined his life—but revenge only raised new questions. Questions that can't be answered as long as he remains in the Range. There's only one thing left to do: complete special assignments given by the Administration with the hope that, sooner or later, he'll earn his freedom. If he survives, of course.

Altai has always considered himself lucky, but this time, his luck at the Range may have run out. His first venture into the Orange Zone turned out to be a setup, a standard leveling up mission proved to be disastrous, and an epic quest cost the lives of his squadmates. Moreover, he found himself teetering on the brink of survival. Now, Altai's life depends on an experimental neural network and an alien creature whose sole purpose is to subjugate his consciousness and turn him into a living weapon.

Few people on Rhapsody have ever managed to achieve what Altai has achieved. The status of a champion, a high level, increased loyalty of the Administration . . . But when things go completely sideways and the Range system falls apart, virtual achievements lose value. When forts perish and the Perimeter collapses, when the Xenos have swarmed Limbo and are trying to break into Elysium, the only things that matter are the thick walls, a supply of ammunition, and a friend's shoulder to lean on.

ADHD is оftеn nоt understood by parents, teachers, and соmmоn реорlе. While аttеmрting to tасklе the рrоblеm, оnе has tо lеаrn tо distinguish between the nоrmаl naughtiness оf a child and ADHD.

The clock is ticking and Dr. De’Brouillard has a date. Dinner is at the Graves and a contract to cure one of the cursed is sitting on the plate. But when an old and dear friend reaches out from murky shadow for a helping hand, will the Doctor take it, risking all if he ends up being late?

In November Tales, Michael Lynes creates horrifying tales of the mysterious, horrific, and terrifying.

Fate has once again played a trick on Altai. The chance to evacuate from Rhapsody was nothing more than an empty promise. Victory turned into defeat, and friends turned into enemies. Past achievements lost their value and disappeared. All hope was gone, and he had to start all over again. The last act of the tragedy turned out to only be a prelude, with new challenges looming on the horizon.

Frank Victorsson thought the demon vampire unleashed from The Land of the Dead had evaporated to ash. Then the horses started to vanish, and the corpses began to appear. When an inexplicable fog rolls into town, Frank realizes the evil infesting his town has grown far deadlier than any monster his father created — and wants much more than to suck Frank dry. It wants to consume the world.

Werewolves, vampires, and witches have been allowed to live - and cause problems - in Arne Odinsson’s domain. The other Elven Courts want an explanation, and when the Elf Emperor calls a Conclave in Las Vegas, Arne and his people have no choice but to defend themselves. With his control of Alfheim riding on the quality of his Conclave witnesses, Arne sends Frank Victorsson and a werewolf, Remy Geroux, to track down a reformed succubus whom Alfheim helped centuries ago.

Gideon lowers his eye to the telescope lens, turns a dial, sees, collapses. Awakes concussed and rushes to the city square to announce his discovery: massive structures on another planet. Impossible without intelligence. He is burned at the stake for heresy. Will Lark is losing his mind. He's obsessed with a door on a roof of the apartment building next to his in San Francisco, thinks he's being followed, thinks the moon is swollen and likely to drop out of the sky. His dreams have been menacing and arguably prophetic.

When the events surrounding the Samhain blizzard cause two dryads to come sniffing around Alfheim, Frank and Ellie are pulled into the center of a long-standing — and secret — battle between Arne Odinsson and Ellie’s terrifying mother, Titania, Queen of the Fae. But not everything fae is as it seems, and not all that is elf shows its true face. As Frank fights to hold onto Ellie, they must navigate not only a minefield of fae slights and elven anger, but also deadly magic bent on destroying Ellie’s life....
