In 1928, an archeological dig in Giza, Egypt, unearthed a giant ring and cover stone that had been buried for nearly 10,000 years. Decades later, disgraced Egyptologist Daniel Jackson discovers that this ring is a gateway to another planet, Abydos. However, the "stargate" is also a doorway to danger, as it was originally buried to stop a powerful alien being from enslaving ancient Egyptians in the guise of the god Ra. Thus, the Stargate franchise was born. That first step into the cosmos reveals a vast network of stargates throughout the galaxy and beyond, while introducing Ra's species, the parasitical Goa'uld, who seek to subjugate all inhabited worlds. Earth establishes a program with the mandate to explore the vast array of planets on the other side of the stargate, while seeking allies and technical assistance in fighting the Goa'uld and freeing those already enslaved. What began as an exciting adventure film in 1994 has endured as a multimedia franchise spanning multiple Stargate television shows (SG-1, Infinity, Atlantis, Universe, and Origins) and an expanded universe of licensed literature. The mythos has explored not only alien civilizations and customs, but also the human condition, politics, and morality. This anthology gathers essays from subject-matter experts examining these and other themes through an insightful and scholarly lens.

With an introduction by New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown, this anthology by the Philadelphia Liars Club contains stories by thirteen talented contemporary writers. The stories are take place in a variety of times and places. They range from crime to science fiction, from fantasy to family life. Despite the varieties of setting and genres, all are linked by one common theme: Each story is based on a lie. Lying takes on many forms, serves many purposes, has many results--some predictable, others not so much. But each lie has unmistakable consequences. And provides a fun, fast-paced, fabulous read.

S.D. Perry's two Avatar books launched the new series of novels which took the story of Deep Space Nine beyond the end of the television series -- the first time that authorised Star Trek fiction had expanded a TV series in such a way, with new ongoing characters and a whole new mythology emerging from the established canon. Avatar exploded onto the Star Trek novel scene, earning a 10/10 review rating from TV Zone and going on to become the bestselling Star Trek books of their year, at the same time setting the scene for the sequence of critically acclaimed and fan-favourite Deep Space Nine books which followed. Now Avatar Books One and Two, together with the third and fourth of the all-new Deep Space Nine stories, Abyss and Demons of Air and Darkness, are re-released as the one-volume Twist of Faith -- a stunning introduction to the mystery, intrigue and conflict that made Deep Space Nine the most complex and the most rewarding of all the Star Trek series. Set in the aftermath of the Dominion War, Avatar heralds both a new threat and a discovery which will profoundly affect the lives of all the crew. Meantime in Abyss, Dr. Julian Bashir faces his darkest nightmare when Section 31, the black ops division of Starfleet, tries to compel him to eliminate one of their own. And in Demons of Air and Darkness, Colonel Kira Nerys and some unexpected allies fight to close down the alien Gateways and avert destruction on a planetary scale. Dark secrets, divided allegiances, treachery and, ultimately, hope - these four tales are Deep Space Nine at its best.

The Captain's Table was a bestselling 6-volume series from 1998 in which five Star Trek captains (one from each of the then television series, plus Captain Pike from the Star Trek pilot and Captain Calhoun from Star Trek New Frontier) each told their story. This new anthology unites top Star Trek authors with no less than nine starship captains, each of whom tells his or her tale in the unique setting of the Captain's Table bar -- a watering hole reserved solely for captains throughout time and space. Among those whose company readers can share in Tales From the Captain's Table are Jonathan Archer from Star Trek: Enterprise; Captain William Riker of the USS Titan; Captain Kira Nerys, now commander of space station Deep Space Nine; Captain Chakotay, newly appointed captain of the USS Voyager; Captain Elizabeth Shelby from Star Trek: New Frontier; SCE's Captain Gold; the Klingon captain Klag of the IKS Gorkon and Demora Sulu from the Lost Era volume, Serpents Among the Ruins.
