1000 tulosta hakusanalla Arthur Wiederhold
In the thirtieth year of his reign, Arka-Dal, Emperor of Thule, and his allies face the darkest threat in human history when the demons from the Abyss try to invade the Earth. To stop them, they must enter the very heart of the Abyss and read an ancient incantation while standing at the sacred altar of the Elder Gods. But the incantation is secreted within the rotting pages of an eons-old book, the only existing copy of which lies hidden in a place that is as deadly as the Abyss itself! Another fantasy masterepiece from the author of The Avenger of Thule and Dark Star Rising.
A group of space faring people from another solar system are forced to flee from their home planet after it's attacked by invaders. They decide to head for Earth where they know they'll be welcomed by Emperor Arka-Dal of Thule. As they gate into our solar system, they are forced to make a crash landing on Mars. Once there, they find the ruins of a long-lost Earth colony and quickly learn why all of the colonists are dead. Unaware of their predicament--and lacking the technology to effect a rescue, Arka-Dal and his friends must deal with a mysterious invading army themselves and try to discover just what they're after. COLD PLANET is the 12th book of the popular Thulian Chronicles and one of the author's best. It is a story within a story that will have the readers on the edge of their seats and leave them wanting more. It is MUST READ for fans of the other books in the series and takes the Chronicles in a new and fantastic direction

Young Arthur Berndt is fighting to survive his childhood but the odds are stacked against him. He lives in two worlds-the violent one he shares with his father at home and the confused one outside his house, where he continually gets into trouble in a futile attempt to gain acceptance at any cost. Every day of his life Arthur finds himself trapped under the same roof with a mortal enemy-August Berndt. Though terrified of his abusive father, Arthur dares not reveal his fears to anyone else. Instead, on the street, he becomes a follower in his desperate effort to be accepted by someone-anyone. His need to please would-be friends compels Arthur to commit antisocial acts that suck the young boy into the legal system, make him an alien in his own neighborhood and only heighten the tension and violence he endures at home. Despite further complicating his life with his own self-defeating actions, subconsciously( and on the very rare occasion consciously), Arthur rationalizes his criminal behavior, telling himself that if no one cares what happens to him, why should he care about what he does to anyone else? Is Arthur doomed to meet the dark fate he seems headed for or will he live to see his life get better? You'll be captivated by Arthur-the embodiment of the human struggle to survive.

Defying the odds, Arthur Berndt has lived to see his 11th birthday. Miraculous considering the turbulent world he struggles to survive in. In this riveting sequel to Arthur: The Beginning, Arthur continues to live in fear of his irrational and violent father August. Though Arthur suffers the most under his father's tyrannical rule, his mother Marguerite and sisters Liz and Ruth are also prisoners inside a house dripping with fear, coldness and criticism. Apart from his chaotic life at home, Arthur has cobbled together a twisted existence: committing criminal acts, isolating in the nearby woods and passing for near-normal in school.Due to his lengthy history of antisocial behavior starting at five years of age, Arthur has become a precocious persona non grata with neighbors, storeowners and law enforcement. Despite feeling scorned by adults and rejected by children his age, Arthur continues to stubbornly and resentfully commit antisocial acts that only solidify his sketchy reputation, deepen his sense of isolation and further enrage his father. When not committing these self-defeating deeds of delinquency, he spends much of his free time in the nearby woods alone or with his beloved dog Rex, the one living creature he has bonded with. Only in school-where his reputation doesn't precede him-does he find a measure of structure and predictability missing in the rest of his world. That won't last forever.Terrified that his father might administer the "final" punishment at any moment, every day Arthur survives feels like a stay of execution. Survival leaves the door open for recovery. Read Arthur: The Struggle Continues and you'll find yourself rooting for Arthur to never give up-and you'll forget you're reading fiction
