But nothing is free, and everyone has their own agenda. If their kingdom is to survive, the Princes will have to do the impossible and thwart the schemes of a Master Sorceress. To do this, they will find that their own powers, though great, are insuffient.

Thames Darrell'S Fears Were Not, However, Groundless. Danger, In The Form He Apprehended, Was Lurking Outside: Nor Was He Destined To Enjoy Long Repose. On Receiving The Warning Note From The Ostler, Jack Sheppard And His Companion Left Willesden, And Taking--As A Blind--The Direction Of Harrow, Returned At Night-Fall By A By-Lane To Neasdon, And Put Up At A Little Public-House Called The Spotted Dog. Here They Remained Till Midnight When, Calling For Their Reckoning And Their Steeds, They Left The House. It Was A Night Well-Fitted To Their Enterprise, Calm, Still, And Profoundly Dark. As They Passed Beneath The Thick Trees That Shade The Road To Dollis Hill, The Gloom Was Almost Impenetrable. The Robbers Proceeded Singly, And Kept On The Grass Skirting The Road, So That No Noise Was Made By Their Horses' Feet. As They Neared The House, Jack Sheppard, Who Led The Way, Halted And Addressed His Companion In a Low Voice:-- "I Don'T Half Like This Job, Blueskin," He Said; "It Always Went Against The Grain. But, Since I'Ve Seen The Friend And Companion Of My Childhood, Thames Darrell, I'Ve No Heart For It. Shall We Turn Back?" "And Disappoint Mr. Wild, Captain?" Remonstrated The Other, In a Deferential Tone. "You Know This Is A Pet Project. It Might Be Dangerous To Thwart Him." [mehr]

Distracted by a murder charge lodged against his daughter Jacki, semi-retired P.I. Winston Simon never expected to again find himself face-to-face with the terrorist Atesh. Now his country’s new ambassador to the United Nations, Atesh is also the mastermind of an ominous threat against the United States—a plot so evil that all previous U.S. terror attacks would pale in comparison. Fearful that he will be recognized and Homeland Security alerted, Atesh devises a plan to put an end to Simon, once and for all. Simon’s daughter needs him and he isn’t about to be stopped by a little thing like bad guys out to kill him. Even a warning by the District Attorney to stay away from the case goes unheeded as events unfold in Jacki’s case pointing Simon toward an eco-terror group and a protégé of his old nemesis, with a devastating mission of his own. Can Simon live long enough to clear Jacki and thwart these iniquitous attacks? With failure not an option, Simon is rapidly caught up in a swirling blend of chaos and death from Las Vegas to Seattle to Belize to Alaska and finally back to Las Vegas where a final showdown will ultimately determine who will live and who will die. A forceful blend of terrorists, a beautiful Mossad agent, and Simon make for a very deadly combination. [mehr]

Cast adrift into the wilderness, a teenaged boy flees a sorceress crowned with the skull of a dragon-hatchling, a sorceress who loves to pluck the wings off faery queens and assassinate rival magicians ... just for fun. Contending with warlords, werewolves, and the wrath of winter spirits, young Starbane is aided by a quarrelsome spy and a vagabond maiden on his journey, but it seems that everyone has a conflicting agenda and the shape-shifting witch, Oblixta, will not allow anyone to escape her clutches without a fight. Politics threatens to keep the exile from finding Rowan Blaize, a reclusive warlock from another dimension, trapped by a spell in Starbane's unforgiving world. Can Blaize help the boy thwart doom and break his own confining curse, or will an eerie twist of fate lead to a magical showdown that ruins them all? Ideal for admirers of the classic fantasy genre, Rowan Blaize and the Starbane Exile (Enchanted Heritage Chronicles: Book III) offers a timeless tale of Good vs. Evil ... and a glimpse into the perilous affairs of witches and wizards at war.
