At the end of Time there was Armageddon; the Earth was unprepared.
The forces of Heaven and Hell warred and, presiding over the
battle, was the Ark of Light, the arbiter of Armageddon. Then, what
was supposed to have been the end of History suddenly came to a
halt when the Ark of Light vanished from its post. The armies of
Light and Darkness faded from the Earth and Time went on. Aeons
passed and what happened that day long ago faded into legend. It is
now the year 134 of the Fifth Aeon. Peter Jones, a poet from the
Broken City of Garathen, looks for a life outside the confines of
his small city and its concealing forest ring. Late one night, a
little girl named Catina comes into the city on a quest of her own:
to find her grandfather and take him back to Grek, where a
mysterious illness is claiming the lives of the townsfolk and of
her parents. Together, Peter, Catina and her grandfather set out
cross-country to rescue the little girl's parents before it's too
late. Thus the journey begins. While traveling West, they meet up
with Aiyesha Elnaa, a fugitive running from the Dembatstayr Army, a
lethal force clearing the land in the name of Peace, paving the way
for the Master's Second Coming. Together, they continue on their
journey and pick up two more travelers along the way: Mr. Nibbetts,
a furry Flistablare from the Tanturee Forest, and a dog, Belina.
Away from the security of his Garathen home, Peter begins to have
doubts about his belief in the Master. As his doubts grow and his
heart yearns for peace, he begins seeing a man in a gray cloak, but
every time he gets close to him, the man vanishes. As the man's
hauntings grow more frequent and the mysterious illness that
plaguesCatina's parents begins to take hold of Peter and his
friends, they learn of the Ark of Light and the prophecy it will
one day reappear. When death seems all but inevitable, a creature
from the Purple Fog launches his attack on the group. Who is he?
Who sent him and what does he want? As History once again draws to
a close and the Ark of Light awakens from its hidden resting place,
a new power rises from the Coast of Seryn, the Island of the Dead.
Strange events are set in motion and the race for the Ark of Light
begins, and the long postponed war looms once again. Author

After exploring the city's underground in order to get a better
feel for the criminal fraternity, Gabriel-under the guise of
"Mike"-meets a young woman-Katie-who is more than what she seems.
What first starts out as a night of mere surveillance and
intelligence-gathering soon forces Gabriel to re-examine his
approach to crime fighting, discover his strengths and
shortcomings, all while trying to keep up with Katie, who is bent
on seeing through her own private crusade. With danger lurking at
every turn and Gabriel being forced to keep his identity-and
abilities-as Axiom-man a secret, he soon discovers he isn't the
only one hiding something. There are other players at work in the
city, those who would soon misuse a secret weapon for their own
purposes. As the clock ticks down and the violence escalates,
Gabriel must try and recover the weapon while also keeping Katie
safe. If he can keep up with her, that is. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: A.P.

If only relationships were simple. While debating whether to reveal
his secret identity to Valerie, Gabriel's personal plans are put on
hold when darkness descends upon the city, each building, street
and alley covered in a strange black cloud akin to those from the
Doorway of Darkness. Only these clouds didn't descend from the sky.
They came from a mysterious shadowy being known as Bleaken. With
the city under the tyrant's control, pandemonium ensues and
violence erupts on the streets. Screams, gunshots and sirens fill
the air; fires are lit, blood is shed and people begin to die.
Axiom-man must navigate the darkness and put an end to Bleaken's
reign of terror before the entire city is destroyed under a veil of
black clouds and violence. Meanwhile, having grown closer as
friends, Valerie races into the dark, trying to find Gabriel to
make sure he's safe, only to succumb to a band of madmen on the way
that take her down a tunnel of torture and despair that threatens
her sanity and soul. If she doesn't escape, her fate will be sealed
and she will meet an end worse than death. With all hope lost and
the city covered in a sea of black clouds, Axiom-man must learn
what it takes to truly shine as a light in a dismal place and stand
strong against the tides of darkness emanating from all sides.
The war between Good and Evil has raged since before Time began.
Now it's ultimate power versus ultimate savagery. With ferocious
fangs, flesh-ripping claws and a feral hunger to destroy anything
in their path, werewolves are one of the most feared monsters on
the planet. Stepping in to stop their quest for blood are the
metahumans, men and women with powerful abilities that set them
apart from the rest of humanity. Some wear costumes as symbols of
hope, others operate discreetly, using their special abilities for
good. Put these two groups of people together and you have a clash
between light and darkness that is sure to rock the foundation of
the world and bring about an epic battle unlike anything seen
before. Featuring familiar heroes like Axiom-man, Midnight Angel,
Nightcat, The Wraith, The Cowl and others, these eleven stories of
super-powered heroism and terror are a thrilling ride through the
worlds of wolf and superhero, and to a place where only one can
remain standing. Contains stories by Frank Dirscherl, Lorne Dixon,
A.P. Fuchs, Anthony Giangregorio, Keith Gouveia, Jon Klement, J.L.
MacDonald, Gina Ranalli, Jim Robb, Stephen Semones and Scott Story.
Other anthologies in the "Metahumans vs" series: Metahumans vs the
Undead.
The city is under siege and people are dying. Brutal murders are
being conducted from the shadows, with always one survivor
deliberately left to tell the tale. And all are saying the same
thing: Axiom-man has gone rogue. Now wanted by the law, Axiom-man
must find out who is masquerading as him and destroying the
reputation and trust he has strived so hard to build, while at the
same time flying beneath the radar in a city where everyone is
looking for him. Soon the city is locked down and death stalks
Axiom-man at every turn as the Special Force Unit and the Winnipeg
Police try and bring him to justice while he fights to clear his
name against an enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy him.

With long thin tails, beady eyes and usually carriers of plagues,
rats are one of the most reviled creatures on the planet. And for
good reason. Vicious in the extreme, rats will go to great lengths
to find food and have no qualms about feeding on human flesh if
there is a need. Imagine being trapped in the sewers of New York
while all around you are hundreds of rats, their hungry eyes
watching and waiting for a chance to attack. Or maybe you find
yourself in a garbage dump and are helpless, and as night begins to
fall, the rats come out to feed...on you. While digging a grave in
a cemetery, the rats are there, waiting for a chance to pounce. Or
one dark night, the rats enter your house while you sleep, to then
swarm over you while you lay helpless in bed. These are the stuff
of nightmares, of horrors best left in the dark. Welcome to Rat
War, where the battle to survive may not always be the outcome you
might expect, and where the worst enemy may be your own fear.
A Rising Army. The Devil. War.The forces of Good and Evil are
gathering, each side preparing themselves for what could be their
last confrontation because the commander of the armies of darkness
has arrived on Earth-the devil himself. Overwhelmed after
witnessing the manifestation of Heaven's fallen angel, Lucifer,
Billie is assigned two final tasks before the big battle. These
assignments take her across the world where she meets two German
brothers who prove to be tremendous allies as she goes to recruit
brave men and women for humanity's last stand, and the strange
supernatural tool required to finally set all things right. Back in
the city, Joe and Tracy have to lean on each other and learn that a
world full of zombies with Hell's army at the door isn't a time to
keep secrets and risk the lives of others to keep them safe. The
two go head-to-head as they struggle to survive what they discover
are the last days of the zombie invasion and the powerful
supernatural forces behind it. This final installment in the Undead
World Trilogy is a wild adventure through a post-apocalyptic world
that takes the reader to the very gates of Hell for one last strike
against an enemy that has destroyed a planet.
Now disconnected from their families, Zach and Rose try and make it
on their own away from the war between vampire and slayer. But word
has been spread to the undead that Zach needs to return to his
family otherwise his mother will only make matters worse for him.
Trying to survive together isn't all it is hoped to be and Zach and
Rose must decide if a vampire and human truly can remain together,
or if it's a lost cause and they should accept their fate. Is love
enough? Before the two can find out, the vampire's family comes for
Zach and Rose, and the two are swept into a nightmare where there
will be only one survivor.
Now submerged in the world of vampire slaying, Rose must come to
terms with what that means for her relationship with Zach and if
it's even possible for the two of them to be together. Meanwhile,
every moment spent with Rose helps bridge the gaps in Zach's
memory, reminding him how much they meant to each other in their
former life. Rose's father, Marcus, is now even more dedicated to
purging the Earth of the undead, so much so he's willing to kill
the only boy Rose had ever loved to help make the world a safer
place for her. Likewise, a plot is in play to infiltrate the Slayer
Order, even at the expense of a loved one. The countdown begins and
Zach and Rose must come to a decision as to where their loyalties
lie, or if they're going to put each other above all else and face
the consequences together.
