Explore the final stages of the New York Times Bestselling Series The Horus Heresy in this fantastic miniseries, a must have for all fans

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster's sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father's rule. Horus' desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos, and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bulwarks arrayed there. To gain even a foothold on Terran soil, he must first contend the Solar War. Thus the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind begins.

The greatest sorcerer of the Thousand Sons has finally found the relic he's been searching for - the Key of Infinity. But is it too late for him to use it?

Ahriman languishes on the threshold of space and time, adrift in a sub-realm of unknowable dimension and aspect. He has found it at long last: the ancient device known to the necrons as the Key of Infinity. This should be his moment of triumph - but he is not the Ahriman he used to be. Betrayed and lost, he is a solitary sorcerer, bereft of allies, standing amongst the smashed and ruined ephemera of his grand designs. With his dreams as dust and his Legion consumed by the fires of the Pyrodomon, Ahriman must fight his way across the shattered remnants of his past if he is to have any hope of saving his future.

A wandering vampire hunts for the sorcerer who ruined his kingdom

When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers - beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods. Torn between his code of honour and his desire for vengeance, Cado must navigate a web of war and deceit, or lose everything.

In an introduction written in 1990, during perestroika, the author wrote that the original title was The Hoop (Обруч), which was rejected by censors. The title The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years, taken from the poem Unique Days (единственные дни) by Boris Pasternak, used for the magazine version (Novy Mir, #11, 1980), was also criticized as too complicated, and the first book-size version of the novel was printed in Roman-Gazeta in a censored form under the title The Buranny Railway Stop (Буранный полустанок).The novel takes place over the course of a day, which encompasses the railman Burranyi Yedigei's endeavor to bury his late friend Kazangap in the cemetery Ana-Beiit (Mother's Grave). Throughout the trek, Yedigei recounts his personal history of living in the Sary-Ozek steppes along with pieces of Kyrgyz folklore. The author explains the term Saryozeks as Middle Lands of Yellow Steppes. Sary-Ozek (or Russified form Sarozek, used interchangeably in the novel) is also the name of a (fictional) cosmodrome.Additionally, there is a subplot involving two cosmonauts, one American and one Soviet, who make contact with an intelligent extraterrestrial life form and travel to the planet Lesnaya Grud' (The Bosom of the Forest) while on a space station run co-operatively by the United States and the Soviet Union. The location of the Soviet launch site, Sarozek-1, near Yedigei's railway junction, intertwines the subplot with the main story.

If what I know may add to your experience, you may have it freely. And if I shall see that this treatise of distillation passes with acceptance among the artists of this nation, I shall hereafter gratify them for their good will with two other parts of chemistry, viz. sublimation and calcination. And I hope this will be occasion to set the more expert artist on work, for the communicating their experiences to the world. One thing (courteous reader) let me desire you to take notice of, viz. whereas every process is set down plain, yet all of them must be proceeded in secundum artem alchymistae (which art indeed is obtained by experience) and therefore many that work according to the bare process effect not what they intend, and the reason is this, because there was some art of the alchemist wanting. To conclude, if you know more or better things than these, be candid and impart them (considering that I wrote these for them that know them not); if not, accept the endeavors of your friend, John French.

You only think you know the story

of the monster and his creator.

The monster never asked for life or even his mockery of one. Victor Frankenstein never asked if he should pierce the veil of death. His cousin Elizabeth never asked for her heart to be torn asunder

Obsessed with conquering death, Victor's compulsion crossed the border into madness. He robbed graves of what was buried within and Death of its sting. Horrified by his success, he abandoned his creation.

Hated and hounded for his appearance, the creature's only crime was wanting a life he had not asked for. As the first of his kind, and in defiance and honor of his creator, he took the name Adam Frankenstein.

Victor and Adam find themselves locked in an epic

conflict that rages from Switzerland to Ireland and back, a struggle that ensnares Elizabeth, who is caught between the man she is engaged to and the one she loves. It is a clash that can only end in death. But thanks to Victor, death is no longer the end.

In this, the true tale of House Frankenstein, you may find that the true Monsters of the Abyss are not what you have been led to believe.

Sir ! It is my ambition to let the world know upon what score it is that I do especially honor men. It is not, Sir!, as they are highborn heirs of the great potentates, for which most honor them (and upon which account I also shall not deny them their due) but as they excell in honesty and are friends to art. That poor philosophers should take no delight in riches, and rich men should take delight in philosophy, is to me an argument, that there is more delight, honor, and satisfaction in the one than in the enjoyment of the other. I once read of a nobleman's porter who let in all that were richly apparelled, but excluded a poor philosopher. But I should, if I had been in his place, have rather let in the philosopher, without the gay clothes, than the gay clothes without the philosopher. As long as I have sense or reason, I shall improve them to the honor of the art, especially that of alchemy. In the perfection thereof there are riches, honor, health and length of days. By it, Artefius lived 1000 years, Flamel built 28 hospitals with large revenues to them, besides churches for it, both they and diverse more were accounted philosophers, and wise men, which sounds with more honor in my ears than all the rattling and empty titles of honor whatsoever besides....

If you've ever been camping, I'm sure you are familiar with that late night setting around the campfire. That time in the night where everyone quiets down and someone comes forth with a tale of horror or ghostly apparitions. While the flames dance in the fire, friends and family lean forward as the storyteller weaves their words for all to hear. The stories are at times fun, sometimes scary, and every now and again one wonders if they were true. 'Stories From A New England Campfire' is a collection of nine such short stories written by the author. Whether by the fireside, around the fireplace at home, or tucked in bed before going to sleep, let this book weave its web of tales before you put out the flames or turn off the light. This book will take you deep into the forest where ghostly figures roam and creatures of lore still exist. Follow its pages along pristine waterways in search of peace, only to find chaos and tribulation. Learn of the screams from long ago past, and sit by the fireplace with settlers in a time when anything beyond the coastline was frontier. Climb high into the mountains to witness bizarre events. And afterwards, when you are laying in the dark, do not so easily dismiss even the lightest of sounds. For we do not know what may be prowling in the shadows at night.

The commander of the BEF's view of the Great War

This book, written by Sir John French, concerns his period of command during the first period of the Great War. Predictably, as in many commander's memoirs it displays much partiality as to his own actions and those of others. This is particularly noteworthy since the consensus view of the history of the time does not judge-with much justification-French kindly. At the outbreak of the war French was the obvious choice for command and his views accorded with the government establishment if not with more forward thinking military men under his command. Fast moving German offensives revealed French's military strategy with its faith in inflexible defensive strongpoints to be hopelessly out of date. Events overtook him and were it not for Smith-Dorrien's aggressive action during the First Battle of Mons-for which seemingly French never forgave him-the BEF could easily have been overwhelmed. French became increasing out of touch and indecisive and was replaced in 1915 by Haig. This book is far from a balanced history, but is an important account of how a nineteenth century soldier saw his twentieth century war. It also contains much factual information on the dispositions of troops and actions in what was a fluid stage of the conflict.

Robert Shaw is most celebrated today as the Oscar-nominated star in movies like From Russia with Love, A Man For All Seasons, The Sting and - most memorably of all - as Quint in the record-breaking Jaws.

His breakthrough came when Hollywood was experiencing something of a British Invasion. Sean Connery, Peter O'Toole, Vanessa Redgrave and Richard Burton were among the new stars. But Shaw was arguably more talented than any, a figure of extraordinary and wide-ranging promise. More than just a mesmerising actor on stage and screen, he was also a gifted writer. He wrote no less than six published novels (winning the Hawthornden Prize), while his plays include the acclaimed Man in The Glass Booth.

The flipside to Shaw's diverse abilities was his well-earned reputation as a hellraiser. A fiercely competitive man in all areas of his life, whether playing table tennis or drinking whisky, he emptied mini-bars, crashed Aston Martins, fathered nine children by three different women, made (and spent) a fortune, and set fire to Orson Welles' house. He died at 51, having driven himself too hard, too fast, but unable to get past the tortured relationship to his father who had committed suicide when Shaw was just 11.

Though his life ended tragically, it is fortunate that Shaw's biographer is someone who knew him well, professionally and personally. Robert Shaw: The Price of Success is a perceptive, sympathetic, but unsparing portrait of the blessings and curses endowing this mercurial, enigmatic but deeply engaging man.

Baltimore City is a powder keg. Its last few years have seen protests, riots, and too many murders. Its citizens don't trust the police, the police don't trust the State's Attorney's Office, and the State's Attorney wants to put as many cops in jail as she can, regardless of their guilt or innocence. The city is only a sin or two away from going straight to Hell.

In the middle of all this is Matthew Grace. A former crime scene technician turned private eye, Grace is now a forensic investigator for the State's Attorney's Office. It's supposed to be an easy job - working Monday to Friday, reading reports, reviewing crime scene photos, and requesting analyses and comparisons from the BPD Crime Lab.

But nothing is easy in Baltimore, and soon Grace finds himself involved in cases that threaten the very heart of the city he loves. Supported by his wife and aided by a cyber pirate, a judge who collects human skulls, and the most honest cop in the city, Grace must solve the crimes and find the sinners if anyone is to have a chance for redemption.
