Though Vance puts himself in tradition of popular fantasy writers, one might assume that he had also grown up with Ovid and Herodotus, Homer’s Odyssey, Don Quixote, and Candide. The Cugel tales lack some of the scope and pathos of the great adventure yarns, but, in the 21st century, they may be as close as one gets to the celebration of epic human perseverance.

Receive wisdom. Be challenged. Become who you were always meant to be―by encountering Jesus for just three minutes each day. What if the life, teaching, and personhood of Jesus didn't collect dust on a shelf or echo faintly in church on Sunday? What if He became so relevant and so personal and...

They arrive alive. They always leave dead. But first, they give me their confessions. My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers — among other things. Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful.

John Turner believes he has the perfect assignment: slip into The Villages, a sprawling paradise of 150,000 retirees, settle in with his wife, earn the trust of a few unsuspecting neighbors, and quietly build a case against a crew of military veterans tied to a $100 million heist. Three weeks into his cover, the sky flashes white and the grid collapses.

When world-class chef Jules Lemar is found dead in his own home, detectives quickly rule out natural causes. A livid bruise encircling his neck leaves little doubt that he was murdered. What remains unclear is how—and why. Detective Inspector George Larson and his team are confronted with a scene that offers few answers. There are no signs of a struggle, every door and window is locked, and no murder weapon can be found. With the evidence leading nowhere, the investigation stalls.

Enough is enough. We’re taking the fight to the bureaucrats! The plan: get to Los Angeles—the beating heart of the Magocracy—and deal with Vorlius and his stooges before they get their hands on the artifacts bound to my Bloodline. And why not have a little fun along the way? From cozy castle towns to shady roadside motels, there are a lot of sights to see in the Magocracy of California. But I’m mostly hoping to see some more of Varga, the academy’s most notorious wolf girl—if she can play nice with the others…

CrossRhoades: An Agnostic on Politics & Religion is a podcast for thoughtful people navigating faith and public life in a time when loyalty and certainty feel demanded from us.

This is not a book about dying. It is a book about what happens after you stop running from death. Most people spend their entire lives trying to avoid one truth—and pay for it with anxiety, confusion, and unnecessary suffering. Death is treated as taboo, failure, or punishment. But death is none of those things. Death is information.

Former Army Ranger and ex-NASCAR driver Derek Vesper is used to high velocity, whether its wheels, wings or skis.

This book, written from the perspective of a child, provides a snapshot of a world that no longer exists, a world that is gone with the wind. As Baby Boomers exit the world by increasing numbers, what our world was like, what we experienced growing up, will soon be forgotten.

Most men don’t ruin their lives. They drift into them. They work hard, stay responsible, get married, raise children, and wake up one day wondering why success feels heavy instead of meaningful. Nothing is “wrong”—yet something is missing. That missing piece is direction.

What if the world you know is protected only by a thin veil separating us from creatures born of myth?

James Crable has lived through centuries of war, betrayal, and faith twisted into fear. An immortal who has spent nearly a thousand years facing the things that slip through the boundary between worlds, he’s watched empires rise and fall and survived horrors most humans never knew existed. But when the Veil begins to unravel in a quiet Ohio town, the dangers that emerge are unlike anything he’s ever seen. And to stop them, Crable must face a past he thought he’d left behind.
