As Nuclear Winter wrapped its gloomy arms around the planet, man experienced a state of anguished misery and desolation.

In order to survive, some became territorial, shunning outsiders.

Those in positions of leadership wielded it like a club.

While others resisted.

This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with many nuclear bombs detonated around the planet. It was no longer a topic of conversation around the dinner table as in years past.

Nuclear winter enveloped the planet with its relentless barrage of dark, sooty air. With each passing day, more and more people died. In a desperate attempt to give people a chance to survive, some government leaders chose to marshal the assets of their community. It was a polite way of saying take from those who have and give to those who have not.

Hank Albright and his family were not selfish people. However, they were survivors and they’d prepared for the worst.

What happens when an all-powerful government sets its sights on what you own? Will you willingly give away the food and necessary to keep your family alive? Or, will you fight for what is yours?

For the Albright’s, they stood shoulder to shoulder and declared, I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

This is more than the story of nuclear conflict. It’s about the devastating effects wrought by Nuclear Winter. Our possible future is seen through the eyes of the Albright family whose roots stretch back to the early settlement of the Florida Keys.

While they fight for survival, they trek across a rapidly deteriorating landscape wrought with danger from both the elements and their fellow man.

It was not our fight, but it became our problem.

Upon returning to the states from a European jaunt, Stone Barrington makes the acquaintance of a stunning woman who seems like she could be an ideal candidate to meet some of his professional — and personal — needs. Before long, though, Stone is put to the task of protecting his new hire when New York City is rocked by a series of disturbing crimes, and it looks as if she might be the next target.

In the city that never sleeps there’s always a plot being hatched, and the only recourse is constant vigilance and a bit of luck. But if those defensive systems fail, Stone will have to go head-to-head against some of the most dastardly scum he’s ever faced...

Jen Stonebreaker hasn’t entered into a big-wave surfing competition since witnessing her husband’s tragic death twenty-five years ago at the Monsters of the Mavericks. Now, Jen is ready to tackle those same monsters with her twin sons, Casey and Brock, who have become competitive surfers in a perilous sport.

When he’s not riding waves, Casey Stonebreaker spends his days helping with the family restaurant ― catching fish in the morning and bartending at night. Casey’s willingness to expose illegal poachers on his popular social media platforms puts him on a collision course with a crime syndicate eager to destroy anyone threatening their business.

Outspoken Brock Stonebreaker couldn’t be more different from his twin. The founder of Breath of Life, a church and rescue mission that assists with natural disasters that no one else will touch, Brock has lived an adventurous and sometimes violent life. Not everyone appreciates Brock’s work, and threats swirl around him.

As the big-wave contest draws closer, a huge, late-fall swell is headed toward the Pacific coastline. Jen’s fears gnaw at her ― fear for herself, for her sons, for what this competition will mean for the rest of her life.

Он знает, каков запах этой чёртовой пади, знает силу её рук и огонь её глаз. И лик её неизменен.

An anthology of stories

“Martin has assembled an impressive array of writers… Progressing through the decades, Wild Cards keeps its momentum to the end… I’m looking forward to the next episodes in this saga of mutant Americana.” – Locus

“Well written and suspenseful and a good read… The authors had a lot of fun rewriting recent American history.” – Aboriginal Science Fiction

“Commendable writing… a zany premise… narrated with rueful humor and intelligence.” – Publishers Weekly

The first fifteen volumes of the Wild Cards series concerned themselves primarily with aces (those given superhuman powers by the Wild Cards virus) and jokers (those whom the virus transformed into freaks and monsters). But in this all-new collection of Wild Cards stories, Deuces Down will focus on some characters less often in the spotlight: the deuces. In Wild Card slang, a deuce is an ace whose superpower is tiny, trivial, sometimes silly.

As with the other books in the series, Deuces Down is set in an alternate, shared-world universe. It's here that you'll find the never-before-told tales of the exciting 1969 World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Brooklyn Dodgers; the first moon landing, when the whole world wasn't watching; the Great New York City Blackout of 1977; and Grace Kelly's mysterious disappearance during the filming of The French Lieutenant's Woman.

Tras dos años a la espera de un donante compatible, Terry McCaleb se recupera de un trasplante de corazón que le ha obligado a cambiar por completo de estilo de vida. Su única meta es reparar el velero en el que se ha retirado y dejar definitivamente atrás sus días como agente del FBI especializado en casos de asesinos en serie. Sin embargo, antes de empezar una nueva vida deberá zanjar un asunto pendiente: resolver el asesinato de Gloria Rivers, la mujer cuyo corazón late en su pecho.

Une femme est retrouvée morte, agenouillée, nue, entièrement rasée dans une église. Sans blessures apparentes, ses organes ont comme implosé. Pour le commissaire Sharko, déjà détruit par sa vie personnelle, cette enquête ne ressemblera à aucune autre, car elle va l'entraîner au plus profond de l'âme humaine : celle du tueur… et la sienne.

In a house under renovation, a plumber uncovers a cellar no one knew about, and makes a rather grisly discovery – a decapitated chicken, animal bones, and cauldrons containing beads, feathers, and other relics of religious ceremonies. In the center of the shrine, there is the skull of a teenage girl. Meanwhile, on a nearby lakeshore, the headless body of a teenage boy is found by a man walking his dog.

Nothing is clear – neither when the deaths occurred, nor where. Was the skull brought to the cellar or was the girl murdered there? Why is the boy’s body remarkably well preserved? Led by a preacher turned politician, citizen vigilantes blame devil worshippers and Wiccans. They begin a witch hunt, intent on seeking revenge.

Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan – “five-five, feisty, and forty-plus” – is called in to investigate, and a complex and gripping tale unfolds in this, Kathy Reichs’s eleventh taut, always surprising, scientifically fascinating mystery.

With a popular series on Fox – now in its third season and in full syndication – Kathy Reichs has established herself as the dominant talent in forensic mystery writing. Devil Bones features Reichs’s signature blend of forensic descriptions that “chill to the bone” (Entertainment Weekly) and the surprising plot twists that have made her books phenomenal bestsellers in the United States and around the world.

Nuclear fallout wrapped the planet in a blanket of soot, blocking the sun’s rays, wreaking havoc on the atmosphere. The planet was plunged into a deep chill that would last for years.

Plants withered. Animals died.

Famine exacted its toll on the human population.

From the initial firestorm and the spread of smoke to the destruction of the Earth’s ecosystem,

Nuclear winter took no prisoners.

The collapse was sudden and deadly as the impact effected all aspects of human life. Nobody was prepared for an environmental catastrophe such as this, including the world’s governments. Yet the threat was always real and the devastation was predictable.

As Nuclear Winter covered the planet, the rapidly cooling climate shocked humanity and all living things… to their death. Yet, for many, it was their fellow man who posed the greatest threat.

The members of the Albright family continue their fight to return home. To Driftwood Key, where horror has already struck. Will all of them make it? Or, will an unexpected Devil Storm take away their souls, or even their lives?

This is more than the story of nuclear conflict. It’s about the devastating effects wrought by Nuclear Winter. Our possible future is seen through the eyes of the Albright family whose roots stretch back to the early settlement of the Florida Keys.

While they fight for survival, they trek across a rapidly deteriorating landscape wrought with danger from both the elements and their fellow man.

It was not our fight, but it became our problem.

Vicki's suspicions take her to Devil's Corner, a city neighborhood teetering on the brink of ruin – thick with broken souls, innocent youth, and a scourge that preys on both.
