From New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson comes Nether Station, a thrilling mix of epic science fiction and Lovecraftian horror.
Space is vast. Space is full of wonders. Space is terrifying.
In the darkest part of the solar system lies a wormhole. Nether.
Astrophysicist Cammie Skoura has joined the first research team traveling to the Nether anomaly, eager to understand the mechanics of the wormhole and to explore its possibilities as a shortcut to Alpha Centauri.
But another race of ancient beings has already been here--an impossibly long time ago--leaving remnants of their vast complexes and gigantic temples built for horrific beings beyond comprehension.
What dangers did those elder races find in the hidden corners of spacetime?
What did they unleash?
And what remains?
Now, Cammie and the crew of Nether Station must find the answers--before the darkest part of the cosmos swallows them up ...
The immense ark-ship Odyssey and its ten thousand hibernating settlers have left behind a dying Earth-journeying for fifty years to the nearest star and its lone habitable planet, Proxima-b.
This new home for humanity is perpetually bombarded by deadly solar flares on its dayside, while the icy wasteland on its opposite hemisphere freezes in endless darkness.When the battered Odyssey arrives, its crew discovers the automated radiation shield has failed. Something appears to have damaged or perhaps even sabotaged their technology on a world where humans have yet to set foot.
Astronaut Darcy Clarke, a young pilot born aboard the Odyssey, teams up with recently awakened engineer Tanya Baxter to repair the failing shield in hopes of allowing the colonists to land before their vessel falls apart.Waiting for the two explorers on the surface of Proxima-b is the geoglyph-a continent-sized landform that resembles a giant metallic work of art.
Is it a massive ore deposit, an alien message, or something far stranger and vastly more dangerous? Or perhaps even sabotage for their technology on a world where humans have yet to set foot?

The Unnatural Quarter becomes a grim fairy tale in Dan Shamble's most pointed case.
When the Big Uneasy returned all monsters and mythical beasties to the world, something was missing. After his vampire girl Alvina flunks a school report on unicorns, Dan is embroiled in a deeper mystery: With unnatural creatures on every streetcorner, why has no one ever seen a unicorn?
But other weird clients demand the attention of a zombie P.I.-a lovestruck frog demon just wants her handsome, befuddled prince back after an evil spell wears off.
A fairy godmother entrepreneur and her pegasus partner launch a line of glass footwear, but they find that it's a fragile market.
Hard-working lagoon creatures struggle with trespassers, vandals, and civic ordnances as they launch a new swampy resort and spa.
A gambling-addict dragon needs a special support animal, and the local Bigfeet just want to be seen for who they are.
These cases lead Dan Shamble and his companions to a secret society of Horn Brothers, where unicorns are murdered, where evil wizards are just trying to make amends, where fairy godmothers are not what they seem, and where the unicorns' magical pets-their beloved horn dogs-are being dog-napped by a mysterious force.
And the undead just want a Happily Ever After, like everyone else.
Dan Shamble, zombie P.I.
He's a stiff detective, and he's got stones!
The cases don't solve themselves in the Unnatural Quarter, filled with ghosts, vampires, mummies, werewolves, and other mythical creatures. It takes an intrepid zombie detective to decipher mysteries, unravel conspiracies, track down cursed objects, and find time for a beer with his Best Human Friend at the Goblin Tavern.
Dan Shamble, zombie P.I., is back from the dead and back on the case in this new collection of eight wacky adventures-featuring a cyclops who lost his eyeball on a drunken bender, an Aztec mummy who wants revenge for too many parking tickets, a crawling hand accused of fingering expensive objects from a curio shop, a distraught mutant fly mother searching for her missing maggots, and the real boogeyman (an insurance salesman) being harassed by his ghoulish aunts. These cases have enough plot twists and stomach turns to keep you guessing, and chuckling, until the very end.

Think deep.
The deep of the sea, the deep of space, the deep of our souls, our fears ... ourselves.
Fear not the monsters under your bed-but the mermaids under your boat.

From Japanese legends to mafia mermen, from carnival freaks to flying aces, from bayou legends to kraken-like behemoths, these tales explore the darker side of merfolk: desire, envy, love unfulfilled, grace ungranted, loneliness turned to rage....

Ace Ventura meets the Addams Family!
A shambling horde of new cases hits Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. in the Unnatural Quarter. Dan and his gang-including his ghost girlfriend, feisty lawyer partner, cop best friend, and little vampire half-daughter Alvina-are out to seek justice, solve mysteries, and keep their heads on straight ... or at least attached.
Alvina's singing lessons for the Banshee Tabernacle Choir end on a sour note when the troll choir director plunges to her death from a high belfry, and the only witness is a deaf-as-a-post gargoyle who sits too close to the loud bells.
A frustrated imp, woefully unsuccessful in betting on the nightmare races, is dead certain that his bookie BatGN (GN for gender neutral to avoid copyright issues) is cheating him.
Francine, the salty bartender at the Goblin Tavern, is worried when One Fang the vampire-her on-again, off-again suitor-disappears without a trace.
A shady vendor discovers a market for living shrunken heads that are conversational as well as decorative, but the demand by far exceeds the supply.
A heartless therapist has ulterior motives when she counsels zombies, distracting them from their woes to concentrate not just on brains, but on self-improvement as well.
There is much at stake in the UnnaturalQuarter, and it's up to Dan Shamble to keep the streets dark and safe for monsters and humans alike. After all, the cases don't solve themselves!
This zombie detective puts the P.I. back in R.I.P.
The sequel to Kevin J. Anderson's Spine of the Dragon brings bitter rivalry and blood feud--that might be the downfall of the human kingdoms.
Two continents at war, the Three Kingdoms and Ishara, have been in conflict for a thousand years. But when an outside threat arises--the reawakening of a powerful ancient race that wants to remake the world--the two warring nations must somehow set aside generations of hatred to form an alliance against a far more deadly enemy. Book one awakened the great dragon, and set the kingdoms at each other's throats. In book two, the Three Kingdoms are shattering under pressure from an inexperienced new King who is being led by an ambitious regent to ignore the threat of the Wreths, in favor of a Vengewar with Ishara. His brother and uncle can see only the danger of the Older Race. In Ishara, the queen lies in a coma, while an ambitious priest seizes power. But he has neither the training nor the talent to rule a nation-- or even a city. Ishara is in deadly peril, and the Wreths have not even appeared on their continent.
Sometimes you just want to be silly.

Need
any giant monsters slain?
Are your own knights in shining
armor unreliable or-worse--cowards?
Young Cullin, wanting to
see the world, joins a band of renowned knights errant who will slay your
dragon for a price. Satisfaction guaranteed!
The only problem
is, it's all a scam. The dragon is no more than rumors and tall tales spread
by Cullin and his gang, giant three-toed footprints stomped into the ground
near strategically burned-down huts and charred skeletons (procured from the
local graveyard). It's a great con job, so long as Cullin and company can take
the money and run, move on to the next kingdom before anyone catches on.
But
even con men can be caught in their own game. Clever, spunky Princess Affonyl
doesn't want any part of the arranged marriage to an evil duke from a
neighboring kingdom. And she realizes that a fearsome dragon, even an imaginary
one, is the perfect cover for her escape.
It's one caper
after another as these medieval dirty, rotten scoundrels try to outsmart one
another. And they discover that the dragon business is more than just a
game...especially if a real dragon might be involved.
