DESTROYER OF WORLDS Man's reign is through. Universal laws are
breaking in the cosmos with the coming of the dark lords to the
world of man. It is they who intend to complete GOD'S CHAIN and
become a God of gods, destroyer of worlds. Professor Mancini
expedition leader is top of his game, he has discovered the
legendary Vale of MalisIblis where a lost temple exists and already
entered the temple after a horrific human sacrifice. He believes it
holds a mythical and priceless artifact called "The Key of the Gods
of Seven Rays". This is a large golden disk, a legend believed by
ancient tribes in South America that will open a portal to the
Gods. Harjit Singh is a medical student and is promoted by the
professor to lead her team through the upper temple while he
explores the lower levels. She soon becomes lost and in critical
danger, chased by a hideous monster. This is the time of the
prophecy, perfect for the arrival of Lord Smite, the first of the
dark Lords. Smite with a brutal army from another world has come to
take the link of power, conquer, and then consume all life on
Earth. His forces immediately put a siege on the defending temple
garrison. The defenders are shocked at fighting the impossible,
then stunned even more at seeing a new super-being as mighty as
Smite! GOD'S CHAIN holds the power to all existence. Excerpt: "Help
us!" Harjit pleaded loudly. "This is the home of Shiva the
Destroyer, an awful and evil place." Harjit's crazy vision turned
any doubt of getting away unscathed into grim reality. "He is
alive!" Then she gasped in horror. "Chris, look! That's not him,
there's something lying ON HIM!" Harjit froze. Instinctively she
did not want to get any closer to him. "It must be that thing I
saw!" "What is it?" Christopher begged, bleary-eyed and not
realising their danger. "Look on top of Cesare! Shiva! Some giant
insect is on his back Christopher!" Christopher stared wildly at
the sickly-looking creature on top of him. "In the name of God,"
Christopher stated and uncertain of what he was looking at,
blinking hard to clear his eyes from dust. Something silvery-white
was on him, providing an excellent camouflage for the creature.
They could see its six short scaly legs, each making a clicking
noise. Everyone felt sick while gasping in the dust. The thing
began slowly crawling over Cesare, fixing itself on top of him. The
creature had numerous tiny white albino eyes positioned all over
its oval casing. Its hard exoskeleton showed a multitude of small
sharp jaggy peaks used for protection. It seemed to be calculating
their threat, studying them in fine detail. Moving a little on the
man, it stopped. Then its surface began changing colour from white
into bright pink. It had stuck itself solidly onto the man's back.
Cesare shivered a little, moaning involuntarily and said nothing.
Everyone looked desperately at each other then the man lay quiet
and very still. All in a state of shock, watching as his body
gradually became fossilised.
Summer, 1976. Jesse and his brother, Edgar, are on the road in
search of victims. They're rovers, nearly indestructible nocturnal
beings who must consume human blood in order to survive. For
seventy years they've lurked on the fringes of society, roaming
from town to town, dingy motel to dingy motel, stalking the
transients, addicts, and prostitutes they feed on. This hard-boiled
supernatural hell ride kicks off when the brothers encounter a
young woman who disrupts their grim routine, forcing Jesse to
confront his past and plunging his present into deadly chaos as he
finds himself scrambling to save her life. The story plays out
through the eyes of the brothers, a grieving father searching for
his son's murderer, and a violent gang of rover bikers, coming to a
shattering conclusion in Las Vegas on the eve of America's
Bicentennial. Gripping, relentless, and ferocious, Rovers
demonstrates once again why Richard Lange has been hailed as an
"expert writer, his prose exact, his narrative tightly controlled"
(Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times).
A nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the secret
power of his “family jewel,” so who better to fight alongside him than
his high school crush and a spirit granny?!
Momo Ayase and Okarun are on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum
regarding what they’ll believe in and what they won’t. Their quest to
prove each other wrong leads them down a path of secret crushes and
paranormal battles they’ll have to participate in to believe!
As Momo and the others fight desperately against the alien invaders, a
recovering Okarun finally comes to and is able to join them.
Unfortunately for him, it’s Tuesday, and that means one thing—the Evil
Eye wants to fight! Thankfully, the invaders quickly capture the Evil
Eye’s attention when they get in the way of his match, and with his
help, the team begins to crush the enemy. But suddenly, Vamola’s suit
is snatched by an octopus-shaped invader, landing the team in dire
straits!
Sporadic news reports indicate chaos and violence spreading through
US cities. An unknown evil is sweeping the planet. The dead are
rising to claim the Earth as the new dominant species in the food
chain. This is the handwritten journal depicting one man's struggle
for survival. Trapped in the midst of global disaster, he must make
decisions; choices that ultimately mean life, or the eternal curse
to walk as one of them.
