The game never changes, only the players do. Others might call it rebellion, call it cowardice. The vanguard will not forgive, nor will they forget. Their trust lays with one another, in those that have shed blood with them and joined the net. Empires, government, leaders, alliances, planets, corporations - many have fallen in humanities past. Now a new Empire will stand on the shoulders of the vanguard, the troopers, the people of Tricticus, and the Victor Corporation. Their goal: survive, and defend those they care for by any means necessary.

Factories toil in the darkness of space. To build weapons, to build armadas. Sphere World’s arrival brought changes that still ripple through human space. Orion Belt Enterprises has grown from a gaming company to a system-spanning corporation with fleets to rival the largest factions of human space.

Michael Chatfield and Dawn Chapman present Book 5 of the Maraukian War series.

The Kalu are not a long lost nightmare anymore. They came from the black. They destroyed Rosho. They ravaged Heija. That was just the scouting force. They are coming back. Power those reactors, charge those rail cannons and ready the fighters. The Free Fleet is going to war.

Tommie, Anthony, and Aila have a new quest: to head across Dena to the island nation Ilsal. There, they might learn more of Anthony's past and recover his lost power. Getting there...well, that's half the adventure, and something is working in Dena's shadow. A guardian's work is rarely done. At least, this one doesn't need to sleep.

Uniter of Dena. Guardian of the people. Death Knight: Anthony gained a few titles. So did the savior of the north, the Guardian princess; Aila Wranoris. The gnomish engineer Tommie. The mad undead. Redeemer of kin, last of his bloodline, Damien. The reborn battle mage, the honorable Lich, high judge Claire. It seems as if he stands in good company. Titles, honors, awards. They are little consolation for the dead, a grim reminder and heavy weight for the living.

Masoul wasn't just an uprising; it was the starting of a war. Harmony didn't start on Masoul; they were using it as a testing ground. Moretti has a lead on from where Harmony might have come. First, they need to defeat Harmony's forces in Osdal. Nerva's not going to throw his people at Harmony; this is not just a colonist uprising, this is a well-armed and well-backed military. They need more information. It comes down to the Triple-Twos to find out that information. Once again, the Victor brothers and their platoon will be right at the heart of Harmony.

Star-crossed lovers? The mage and her knight? The Fool and the Genius, the world’s oddest couple? Claire and Anthony have a storied and colorful past. Ahem. It took Anthony nearly 1,000 times to ask Claire out on a date, you know? Like, come on. They were adventuring together for years! Maybe he wasn’t the fool. Claire, didn’t notice you there - don’t give me that look! You’re starting to scare me...Uh, okay, so, this world’s greatest love story continues, even though Dena is not a safe place....

Friend. Lovers. Blood kin. Humans. Beast kin. Enemies. Targets. At one time, humans and beast kin called each other friends. They weathered the bad times together and celebrated the good times. They even called one another blood brothers and sisters. They fought beside one another. Time has made these two groups forget their shared history - forget their past relationships. Now, instead of fighting beside one another, the lands at Selenus and Radal prepare to end their cease-fire and once again soak Dena in one another’s blood.

The Victors know nothing but war. It has shaped them and changed them in ways that they didn't think possible. Now is not the time to lament on the friends lost, the wounds gained. The medics might be able to patch them up, but they can't heal their minds. Harmony is making their play for Earth, and the Troopers will be there to greet them. The Victors are finally going home over 200 years since they left for Sacremon. The last system-wide battle between the EHC and Harmony is about to begin.

Erik West ist ehemaliger Kampfsanitäter. Er und sein bester Freund Jimmy »Rugrat« Rodriguez, Scharfschütze des US Marine Corps, sind in eine andere Welt geschleudert worden. Sie sind zu »Verfluchten« geworden. Nun müssen sie sich in dieser fantastisch anmutenden Welt zurechtfinden, in der sie ihre Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten erweitern müssen...sonst lauert der Tod.

Nach der Eroberung und Verteidigung Vuzgals haben Erik und Rugrat eine neue Aufgabe zu bewältigen – die Errichtung einer Stadt. Bisher sind sie förmlich durch die Reiche gerast, aber Vuzgal ist ein Preis, den sie nicht einfach aufgeben können. Alva wird ebenso mobilisiert wie ihre Verbündeten, um die neue Stadt aufzubauen. Es ist an der Zeit, ihre Gewinne zu festigen und an ihren Handwerken, ihren Kampffähigkeiten und ihrer Kultivierung zu arbeiten.

Das Reich der Schlachtfelder–ein Reich, in dem Sekten aufsteigen und zerfallen. In dem der Boden unter den Füßen von Kämpfern aus höheren Reichen erzittert. In dem es Reichtümer zu holen gibt und in dem Imperien untergehen. Dorthin müssen Erik und Rugrat, wenn sie ihre Stärke und die von Alva erhöhen wollen. Es heißt, das Glück sei mit den Mutigen. So ist es in den Zehn Reichen. Die Beute geht an den Sieger. Das Vierte Reich wird ihr Leben verändern ... oder beenden

Das Dritte Reich wirft neue Herausforderungen auf. Erik sucht nach dem alten Hei, während sich Rugrat mit seinem beschädigten Mana-System auseinandersetzt. Beide führt der Weg zur Prüfung des Alchemistenverbands. Beide hatten ehrlich nicht vor, sich Ärger einzuhandeln doch er scheint sie in den Zehn Reichen regelrecht zu verfolgen. Sie müssen sich erst durch das Dritte Reich kämpfen, um die Prüfung des Alchemistenverbands zu bestehen.

Bei der Ankunft in den Zehn Reichen hatten Erik und Rugrat noch keine Ahnung, was vor sich ging. Sie wussten nur, dass sie sich mit dem Zwei-Wochen-Fluch angesteckt hatten. Bald lernten sie ihre Charakterübersichten und einen Teil des Systems kennen, das Zehn Reiche genannt wird. Ein Ort, an dem die Starken die Regeln aufstellen und sich die Schwachen in der Hoffnung daran klammern, beschützt und in Ruhe gelassen zu werden.
