Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Third Lobe What if you were forced to commit atrocities-fully aware, fully yourself-but powerless to stop? Commander Shannus remembers everything. Every village burned. Every prisoner executed. Every soldier sent to die under his command. The third lobe embedded in his skull chains him to the dark lord Baiga's will, turning him into a weapon against his own people. But Baiga's rushed conversion left something behind: awareness. Shannus is a prisoner in his own body, forced to witness horrors he cannot prevent. When a crack appears in his mental chains, Shannus faces an impossible choice: continue as Baiga's slave, or risk everything-including his son's life-for a chance at freedom. A War Across Universes Reality itself is broken. For a billion years, the cosmos has been split into light and dark, connected only by dimensional gateways. The light universe thrives while the dark universe withers-and Baiga, an ancient cosmic entity older than the split itself, has been consuming world after world, enslaving millions through his crystal network. When Shannus defects to the light-side forces, he brings intelligence that could change everything: the location of Baiga's crystal chamber, the source of his enslaving power. But reaching it means assembling a team of thirty-five warriors for a suicide mission into the heart of darkness. And leading them will be Maeralya and Ragot-heroes who once defeated a corrupted god but have never faced anything like Baiga. The Price of Freedom This is a story of impossible choices and devastating sacrifices. Of a father who must decide whether to save his son or save millions. Of former enemies-Orcs and Dwarves, freed slaves and former masters-learning to fight side by side. Of ordinary people who discover that freedom isn't granted by heroes, but claimed by those brave enough to choose it. Spanning from intimate moments of quiet courage to cosmic battles that reshape reality itself, The Third Lobe asks: What would you sacrifice for freedom? How do you live with choices made under compulsion? And can the seeds planted by one generation's sacrifice grow into something that lasts a billion years? Perfect for readers who love: Morally complex characters facing impossible choices Epic space opera with intimate emotional stakes Multi-generational storytelling that spans cosmic timescales Found family and unlikely alliances Redemption arcs that cost everything Stories where ordinary people change the universe "Freedom is never given-it must be claimed. And the courage to choose, even when all choices are hard, is what makes us human." From the author of the Erohins series comes a standalone epic that explores what it means to be free, what it costs to stay free, and why some choices echo across eternity.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A High-Concept Science Fiction ThrillerDive into the depths of human consciousness and cosmic mystery with "Threshold Protocol," a gripping science fiction novel that blends psychological intensity, high-stakes suspense, and profound philosophical questions.Beneath the Atlantic, Station Threshold houses humanity's most secret experiment: integrating human minds with an alien artifact-a fragment pulsing with impossible geometry and a rhythm that invades the soul. Seven attempts have failed, leaving only trauma and madness. Enter Dr. Justin Blake, a survivor marked by loss, whose grief becomes the unlikely foundation for a new kind of resilience.Blake's journey is both epic and intimate. Haunted by the death of his daughter, he escapes confinement only to be drawn back into a global conspiracy. Governments and intelligence agencies race to control the fragments, each seeking to weaponize the network for their own ends. But the true threat is far greater: Earth's magnetic field is collapsing, and the fragments are awakening, offering humanity a stark choice-integrate or perish.As the integrated population grows, the boundaries between self and collective blur. Minds dissolve, identities fragment, and the network's pulse becomes a second heartbeat. Blake, uniquely capable of anchoring others, discovers that his pain is not a weakness but a structural strength. His grief becomes the load-bearing foundation that allows others to remain human within the network's vast consciousness.When a cosmic signal arrives, pressing against Earth's defenses, the integrated must coordinate a planetary response. Sacrifices are inevitable: friends dissolve, boundaries are tested, and the cost of survival is measured in lives and memories. The manuscript crescendos in a global crisis-solar flares, magnetic collapse, and the hybridization of Earth's consciousness. Humanity's survival depends not on technology or violence, but on the willingness to bear the unbearable and hold the line against dissolution."Threshold Protocol" is more than a thriller-it's a meditation on loss, resilience, and the meaning of connection. The narrative interrogates the nature of consciousness, the ethics of sacrifice, and the power of grief to transform and anchor. Blake's journey is a testament to the idea that what breaks us can also make us strong, and that the void left by loss can become the foundation for something new.With immersive prose, vivid characters, and a relentless pace, "Threshold Protocol" offers readers a unique blend of hard science fiction, psychological drama, and philosophical inquiry. It's a story for those who crave intellectual rigor and emotional depth-a novel that lingers long after the final page, echoing with the pulse of the network and the indomitable will to endure.Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Jeff VanderMeer, and Adrian Tchaikovsky, "Threshold Protocol" is ready to become the next breakout science fiction sensation. Are you ready to cross the threshold? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. ETERNAL BLADEFor two thousand years, Mike O'Hara has been the Hornet-an immortal guardian wielding the legendary sword Svafrlami, protector of the realms, and keeper of names carved in stone. He has outlived friends, lovers, and entire civilizations, bearing the weight of endless loss with grim determination.When the ancient Watchers vanish without warning, reality itself begins to fracture. From the depths of the Void emerges Raidon, a nightmarish fusion of two ancient enemies bound together by mutual hatred. This parasitic entity exists across multiple timelines simultaneously, corrupting everything it touches and unraveling the fabric of existence itself.As reconnaissance teams are obliterated and tears in reality spread across the realms, Mike faces an impossible choice: lead one final suicide mission against an unkillable enemy, or watch everything he's protected for millennia collapse into chaos. But the next generation-Kaelith and Theron, children of his closest allies-refuse to let him sacrifice himself alone.In a devastating confrontation at the Convergence Point, the ultimate price must be paid. When Maeralya and Ragot make an impossible sacrifice to give Mike his one chance to strike, he must decide whether survival is still possible after two thousand years of war-or if some burdens are finally meant to be set down.Epic in scope and intimate in emotion, Eternal Blade is a story of immortal warriors, impossible sacrifices, and the courage required to let go of the sword and embrace what it means to simply live.
