Momentos antes de ser ejecutado, el hombre que mató a la hija de Hub Walker hace una inquietante acusación: que el verdadero asesino fue un amigo cercano de Walker, un importante contratista de defensa estadounidense. Walker—famoso veterano de la Guerra de Vietnam y piloto heroico—busca contratar a alguien dispuesto a investigar información que refute la acusación y ayude a restaurar el buen nombre de su amigo. Entra en escena Cordell Logan: instructor civil de vuelo, aspirante a budista y asesino militar retirado.

La víctima es pronto identificada como Pete Hostetler, un ejecutivo muy respetado de una empresa de fabricación de juguetes con sede en California. Pero los detectives están desconcertados, y no hay pistas. ¿Cayó accidentalmente de un avión o lo empujaron?

Cuando un ex analista de la CIA se precipita por un acantilado en su Porsche clásico, parece un desafortunado accidente. Cuando un segundo y luego un tercero aparecen muertos en circunstancias inusuales, las sospechas de la CIA se confirman: estos hombres fueron asesinados. Los tres analistas estuvieron asignados al mismo proyecto ultrasecreto: una revisión interna de la participación de la CIA en el asesinato del presidente John F. Kennedy.

A naked man drops from the night sky and crashes through the roof of a mobile home, nearly killing the elderly couple inside. The victim is soon identified as Pete Hostetler, a well-respected executive at a California-based toy manufacturing company. But detectives are baffled, and there are no leads. Did he accidentally fall out of an airplane or was he pushed?

An alien pyramid has appeared on Earth, squatting in the middle of Chicago. It is growing, destroying the city as it does, and nothing seems able to stop it, not even the might of the US military. Somehow, the alien device is snatching people and for unknown reasons transporting them into worlds of mythology. Dr. Lukacs is one of the victims. Granted, he's an expert on mythology. But myths are not something he'd thought to encounter personally. Or wanted to!

Lyonesse: a world formed by magic, where a dark power struggle is underway between an ancient sorceress with her shadow army and the human subjects of Lyonesse's power-mad wizard. The only spark of hope is a prophecy that tells of a Defender who will one day come and set things to right. Young Meb doesn't think she's obligated to be the prophesied Defender of Lyonesse, but she is adept at the universe-folding skill of Planomancy and has been trained by a world-walking troubleshooter of the multiverse, the great Dragon Fionn himself.

Tasmarin is a place of dragons, a plane cut off from all other worlds, where dragons can be dragons and humans can be dinner. It's a place of islands, forests, mountains, and wild oceans, filled with magical denizens. Fionn - the black dragon - calmly tells anyone who will listen that he's going to destroy the place. Of course he's a joker, a troublemaker, and a dragon of no fixed abode. No one ever believes him. He's dead serious.

When one retired CIA analyst plunges off a cliff in his vintage Porsche, it’s an unfortunate accident. When a second and then a third turn up dead under unusual circumstances, the CIA’s suspicions are confirmed: these men were murdered. All three analysts were once assigned to the same top-secret project: an internal review of the CIA’s own involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Back in 1956, a cargo plane left a small airport outside Los Angeles and flew straight into a raging storm, never to be seen again. Sixty some years later, retired military assassin and would-be Buddhist Cordell Logan catches sight of something as he and his fiancé Savannah are flying over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. That tiny plane and its mysterious cargo have finally been found.

Tim Ryan can't shake the feeling that he is different from other teens, and not in a good way. For one thing, he seems to have his own personal poltergeist that causes fires and sets him up to be arrested for shoplifting. As a result, Tim has been sent to live on a rundown farm on a remote island off the coast of Australia with his crazy grandmother, a woman who seems to talk to the local spirits, and who refuses to cushion Tim from facing his difficulties. 

Civilization at the crossroads. In an alternate Renaissance where magic works, a captain of Italian forces must deal with gods, goddesses, and warfare in order to save his daughter at the siege of Constantinople - and prevent a new dark age.  

Captain Pausert just can’t catch a break! First, he became the mortal enemy of his fiancée, his home planet, the Empire - and even the Worm World, the darkest threat to mankind in all of space. All because he helped rescue three slave children from their masters. Of course, these three young women were the universally feared Witches of Karres - but how was he to know that?! And after he defeated the Worm World (with the help of the witches, of course), the Empress herself had sent him on a secret mission to stop a nanite plague that was raging across the galaxy. 

If he’d known he was getting stuck with a pair of psi-wielding super-beings, even straitlaced do-gooder Captain Pausert might have thought twice about rescuing his two young “witch” charges from slavery on a dark planet. But what’s done is done - and with galactic peace once again threatened in the mysterious and pirate-ridden Chaladoor region, only a dangerous mission backward in time can save the present and - maybe - get stalwart-but-obtuse Pausert to see one of these young “witches” as more than just a friend.
