This essential Star Wars Legends novel is the first in a trilogy
chronicling the rise of the fearsome Sith lord Darth Bane. "A solid
space adventure [that] charts the evolution of an antihero almost
as chilling as Darth Vader."-Publishers Weekly On the run from
vengeful Republic forces, Dessel, a cortosis miner, vanishes into
the ranks of the Sith army and ships out to join the bloody war
against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There Dessel's
brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly
win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful
masters, a far greater destiny awaits him. As an acolyte in the
Sith academy, studying the secrets and skills of the dark side,
Dessel embraces his new identity: Bane. But the true test is yet to
come. In order to gain acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness,
he must defy the most sacred traditions and reject all he has been
taught. It is a trial by fire in which he must surrender fully to
the dark side-and forge from the ashes a new era of absolute power.
In a burned-out country, a father and his young son head slowly for the coast, with no idea what, if anything, awaits them there. The landscape is destroyed, nothing moves save the ash on the wind, and cruel, lawless men stalk the roadside, lying in wait.

Attempting to survive in this brave new world, the young boy and his protector have no choice but to keep walking.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Road is the story of a remarkable and profoundly moving journey, and an exemplar of post-apocalyptic writing.
Princess Athena has a birthday surprise she'll never forget! Living
in the mid-21st Century, she - along with her mechanical sidekick
`Magnus the Micro-Mutt' - take a trip to Egypt where it is rumoured
an archaeological team are unearthing the apparent remains of a
creature ... a creature not of this world! Determined to seek out
the elusive dig, Athena and Magnus find more than they bargained
for upon locating the tomb and quickly realise that the infamous
alien is not dead, rather ... suspended in hibernation. Carelessly
interrupting the extra-terrestrial's slumber, Lord Sakkara is
resurrected and his dreadful presence casts a shadow over the land.
It is up to Athena, Magnus and their handsome bodyguard, Captain
Scott, to confront the beast and to stop him from resuming command
over planet Earth.
