If you think your family relationships are complicated, think again: you haven`t seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric`s vampire sire, an ancient being, who arrives with Eric`s `brother` in tow at a most inopportune moment.

After almost a decade, Tom Clancy--the acknowledged master of international intrigue and non-stop military action-returns to the world he knows better than anyone: a world of chaos, caught in the crossfire of politics and power, placed on the edge of annihilation by evil men. But there are other men who are honor-bound to stop the bloodshed and protect their homeland-by any means It is called the Campus. Secretly created under the administration of President Jack Ryan, its sole purpose is to hunt down, locate, and eliminate terrorists and those who protect them at will, without sanction or oversight. A self- sufficient entity, it has no official connection to the American government-a necessity in a time when those in power consider...
For years, Jack Ryan, Jr. and his colleagues at the Campus have waged an unofficial and highly effective campaign against the terrorists who threaten western civilization. The most dangerous of these is the Emir. This sadistic killer has masterminded the most vicious attacks on the west and has eluded capture by the world`s law enforcement agencies. Now the Campus is on his trail. Joined by their latest recruits, John Clark and Ding Chavez, Jack Ryan, Jr. and his cousins, Dominick and Brian Caruso, are determined to catch the Emir and they will bring him in . . . dead or alive.

You’ve probably heard of Lord Horatio Nelson. He is dead famous for: courageously winning the Battle of Trafalgar, carelessly losing and arm and an eye – and being stuck up a very high column! But did you know that Horatio nearly got killed by a polar bear, ate rats and maggots, and was pickled in a barrel of brandy? Yes – even though he’s dead, he’s still full of surprises!
When their country is invaded and their families are taken, eight high school teenagers band together to fight. Seventeen-year-old Ellie and her friends have survived the invasion and hit back at the soldiers who still hold their family and friends captive. But two of their band are captured: Kevin is imprisoned and Corrie is alive, but in a coma. Homer and Ellie are determined to get them back and to continue their campaign against the enemy. They discover that there are other rebels out there, fighting the invaders - but who are they and can they be trusted? As the pressure grows, can Ellie work out her conflicted feelings for the brilliant, arrogant Homer and the strong, gentle Lee? As war rages, and the enemy closes in, Ellie and her...

This title includes an introduction by David Stuart Davies. Oliver Onions is unique in the realms of ghost story writers in that his tales are so far ranging in their background and substance that they are not easily categorised. His stories are powerfully charged explorations of psychical violence, their effects heightened by detailed character studies graced with a powerful poetic elegance. In simple terms Oliver Onions goes for the cerebral rather than the jugular. However, make no mistake, his ghost stories achieve the desired effect. They draw you in, enmeshing you in their unnerving and disturbing narratives. This collection contains such masterpieces as The Rosewood Door, The Ascending Dream, The Painted Face, and The Beckoning...

Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. She`s pretty. She does her job well. But she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie`s gift: she can read minds. That`s not exactly every man`s idea of date bait -unless they`re undead; vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that`s just the kind of guy Sookie`s been looking for. Maybe that`s why, when she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn`t just drive on by. He hasn`t got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy -and dead - as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia, he`s sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie`s help - because whoever took his memory now wants his life....

Now it`s the turn of the weres and shifters to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world. Sookie Stackhouse already knows about them, of course - her brother turns into a panther at the full moon, she`s friend to the local Were pack and Sam, her boss at Merlotte`s bar, is a shifter. At first the great Were revelation seems to go well - then the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found outside Merlotte`s. Though Sookie never cared that much for the victim, no one deserves such a horrible death, so she agrees to use her telepathic talent to track down the murderer. But what Sookie doesn`t realise is that there is a far greater danger than this killer threatening Bon Temps: a race of unhuman...
