Synopsis

In the year 1983, a cargo plane crashes onto a desert island, somewhere in the Caribbean. The four survivors know their priorities well: find shelter, find food and fresh water, get rescued, and, above all, find the mysterious missing cargo. But, as time passes by, these priorities wane, as all of them seem to be having too good of a time. As they get to know each other better, they start re-examining their whole lives and the paths that led them to this island.

In the year 2028, a woman called Clarice Skaugen returns to her childhood home in Minneapolis for a family gathering. She is haunted and driven by nostalgia and memories of her childhood days, but she quickly puts it all aside when she realizes that her twin brother is missing, and that it seems like she is the only one in the family that notices or cares at all about his disappearance.

These two narratives twist around each other only to converge in an exciting finale and provide the answers sought from the start, not just “what” and “how”, but, more importantly, “why”.

Last Day Of The Human

★ 4.55

Kirill Klevanski

The comfortable and safe mortal lands of the Nameless World have been left behind. The petty kingdoms with their endless feuds, the supposedly great empires with their innumerable intrigues and tragedies, even the Strange Lands that consider themselves to be the last bastion of true freedom.
The Mad General has traversed them all, from one end to the other.
What lies ahead?
The road to the Land of the Immortals.
And everything that embarking upon this path will bring with it.

After all, even in the truly vast Nameless World, it is still possible to find that final border, the true end of the road. But if anyone thinks that this will cause the General to falter, make him lower his sword, they are mistaken...
It is as it was before and as it always will be. Neither demons nor gods, neither heroes nor villains, neither Time nor Fate will ever be able to break the iron will of Hadjar Darkhan.

Never Split The Party

★ 4.17

Ramy Vance

What if J.R.R. Tolkien's work wasn't fiction, but a primer to help humanity get accustomed to a harsh truth?

There are nine known realms, a world for each race, including dwarves, gnomes, and elves.

In the middle rests Middang3ard.

Each world knows the others. Each, except Earth.

Humans long ago turned their backs on magic, throwing their stock into science and technology, their governments shielding the people from the reality of what was going on elsewhere.

So be it. Humans were never very good at getting along with other races anyway.

Then the Dark One appeared, threatening to overrun the nine worlds, starting with Middang3ard and ending with the humans’ planet.

The second planet just went dark, Earth can't stay out of the fight, but can it do anything to save its own future?

Now, humans must send elite warriors to Middang3ard to fight, else humans will fight on the shores of their own lands when the Dark One invades Earth.

Too bad their elite starts and ends with Robert ‘Suzuki’ Fletcher and his team of Mundanes.

Radley’s Wardrobe for Horny Monsters

★ 4.54

Annabelle Hawthorne

When Mike Radley's magical home grew another floor, he thought he knew what to expect.

He didn't expect a kingdom of portal-chewing rats to be living between his walls.

He really didn't expect to discover that the wardrobe down the hall was a prison world for a murderous kitsune.

And he definitely didn't expect all of his enemies to converge on his house all at once, intent on his destruction.

Welcome to Radley's Wardrobe. Expect the Unexpected.

Off Armageddon Reef

★ 4.14

David Weber

Humanity pushed its way to the stars - and encountered the Gbaba, a ruthless alien race that nearly wiped us out.

Earth and her colonies are now smoldering ruins, and the few survivors have fled to distant, Earth-like Safehold, to try to rebuild. But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they've built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever.

800 years pass. In a hidden chamber on Safehold, an android from the far human past awakens. This "rebirth" was set in motion centuries before, by a faction that opposed shackling humanity with a concocted religion. Via automated recordings, "Nimue" - or, rather, the android with the memories of Lieutenant Commander Nimue Alban - is told her fate: she will emerge into Safeholdian society, suitably disguised, and begin the process of provoking the technological progress which the Church of God Awaiting has worked for centuries to prevent.

Nothing about this will be easy. To better deal with a medieval society, "Nimue" takes a new gender and a new name, "Merlin." His formidable powers and access to caches of hidden high technology will need to be carefully concealed. And he'll need to find a base of operations, a Safeholdian country that's just a little more freewheeling, a little less orthodox, a little more open to the new.

And thus Merlin comes to Charis, a mid-sized kingdom with a talent for naval warfare. He plans to make the acquaintance of King Haarahld and Crown Prince Cayleb, and maybe, just maybe, kick off a new era of invention. Which is bound to draw the attention of the Church...and, inevitably, lead to war.

Hoist the sails! Full speed, sailors, we’re at the start of the new Adventure!

Welcome back to the virtual world of Fayroll! Another quest sends Kif to a brand new location where no player’s foot has trodden before. He’s the first and only one there. As soon as he falls off the portal, he finds himself in the middle of pirates’ problems, faction’s wars, sea battles, boardings and corsairs’ intrigues in the rough waters of the Tigali Archipelago. Being unable to leave the place, or to contact other players or to reveal his location, Hagen, the warrior from the West, joins Captain Daisy Englend’s crew to finish his quest. Under the black flag of the young but furious Captain Daisy, he has to gain a reputation among corsair’s fractions, discover new islands and items, deal with sailors and bearded captains with sharp rapiers and cunning traders, find vivid allies and deadly enemies, reveal dodgy traitors and meet the Great Kraken itself. Where will the line of Archipelago’s quests lead our hero? Batten down the hatches, a storm is coming!

You thought you knew enough about the game-world of Fayroll? Well, so does Kif, but the developers still have something up their sleeves! Just getting along with his position at Fayroll world, logging-out, he finds himself at the center of another big Game between Raidion and the Consortium, and this one is bigger than anything humankind was up to before. Both powerful real-life fractions need him to cooperate, and both of them are not what they seem to be at first sight. Most daring thoughts and guesses of Harriton are confirmed now. The real world doesn’t seem to be as simple and usual as it used to seem. No more sneaking around and playing games, it’s all serious now. Cheer up, Harriton, your soul is at stake… or that’s just his tired of the game and office issues mind and a tricky move of opposing fractions?

The whole setting is catchy, so the story gets the entire attention of any reader till the last page.
