An exciting new space opera of blockbuster proportions from the creators of Warship Jolly Roger and On Mars After an interplanetary religious war that devastated the galaxy 200 years earlier, four gods nicknamed the "Great Quartet" decided to build a new empire. They established a violent and repressive dictatorship, annihilating all forms of religion other than that devoted to their own worship. The Divine Legions were created to enforce this order, but despite their surveillance, different species of aliens continued to secretly worship their ancient gods. This situation gave rise to a galactic market in alien relics linked to many now-banned religions. That means smuggling and the birth of Relic Hunters. Aspiring up-and-comer Xia, a human, and Little Mercur, a masked alien of unknown origin, are among the best relic hunters in the galaxy, and they're joined for a new mission by Vitellius, a former centurion who deserted the Divine Legions.

New York's destiny is written in its depths... Alison Walker is a promising young painter in Manhattan. But she has a secret. She's also a witch. She and her family belong to the world of Under York, a mysterious, underground New York where five powerful clans of witches have reigned for centuries. These families with their strict codes of life, drawn from the country's main communities (African, Irish, Chinese, Mexican, and Amerindian) practice magic as powerful as it is dangerous. For generations, they have been hunted and persecuted. Today, they secretly influence life on the surface and its inhabitants. Their revenge is to participate in the destiny of a world that banished them. This is the universe in which Alison Walker grew up. The universe she fled and doesn't want to hear about anymore. Until fate catches up with her... Acclaimed French writer SYLVAIN RUNBERG (Watchdogs, Warship: Jolly Roger) and superstar Harvey Award winner MIRKA ANDOLFO deliver a fascinating tale where urban fantasy takes root in the bowels of the world's most famous city. Two universes- that of contemporary New York and its dynamism and modernity and that of the secret, underground magical clans of Under York- collide in the destiny of a young witch on the run.

In 2132, Life on Earth has reached the limits of sustainability. Colonizing Mars has become our only option, and the construction of such a significant enterprise has required massive resources and manpower. The most cost-efficient solution to this requirement is conscripted labor provided by convicted felons – early access to humanity’s future homeworld, but in exchange for the back-breaking and perilous work of constructing the damn thing. Officer Jasmine Stenford is sent to Mars and sentenced to conscripted labor for a wrongful death committed on her watch. With little defense against the corruption on Earth, she has no idea what sort of nightmare awaits her on the red planet... Brilliantly visualized by artist GRUN, this explosive sci-fi prison drama by writer SYLVAIN RUNBERG introduces Jasmine to a broad spectrum of characters, factions, and political players who all have different ideas for this New World that is being built. Who is really in control? And can anyone truly claim a planet on the verge of forced evolution? ON MARS imagines a future where the true natures of mankind prove to be inescapable, no matter how far you travel.

Inbördeskriget är över, men konfederationen ställs omedelbart inför ett nytt hot. Denna gång från nevronomerna, de gigantiska levande rymdfarkoster som av okänd anledning har återvänt till konfederationens stjärnsystem efter hundratals års frånvaro. De väldiga organismerna har börjat agera som massförstörelsevapen genom att spränga sig själva i luften ovanför konfederationens städer och på så vis utplåna dem. Efter massakern i Stockholm befinner sig Caleb och Mezoke på flykt tillsammans med Calebs lillasyster Kristina och Dernid, som står i mental kontakt med skeppet de färdas i, nevronomen Angus. Kanske kan de med Angus hjälp finna svaret på varför nevronomerna utövar utpressning mot konfederationen, men först måste de avlägga ett strategiskt besök på den laglösa planeten Tetsuam, lekstuga för galaxens kriminella och den perfekta platsen att byta smuggelgods mot information.Rymdstationen Orbital är den galaktiska konfederationens maktcentrum med 300 miljoner invånare och samtidigt en portal mot en annan rumtid. Orbital är också hemmabas för agenterna från IDB, den intermondiala diplomatiska byrån. En organisation med uppgift att upprätthålla freden mellan Konfederationens många hundra världar.
