What is it like for a small flap-eared goblin herbalist to play the role of the Dark Sovereign, the main antagonist for Boundless Realm's hundreds of millions of players? What is it like to find one's self the standard bearer for an army of man-eating giants, cyclops, skeletons, ghosts, and other hellspawn, who don't give a damn about their modest little ruler? Our hero didn't desire such an unenviable fate, but there is no way back now. But the longer he plays, the better he understands that he is just a pawn in someone else's game.

Our future. Noncitizens and individuals of low social standing can only find work in one place: the virtual world of Disgardium. And that might mean mining ore; it could just as well mean cleaning pigsties or washing dishes in a tavern, but that's about as glamorous as it gets. Fifteen-year-old schoolboy Alex has dreams of working as a space guide. All he can think about is the stars, but life gets in the way, and now his only path to achieving that goal is through the game.

Eric Bergman used to be treated like an outcast, cripple, and freak. Some pitied him, others squirmed in his presence, while others still mocked him to his face. He himself even thought he was born cursed by the gods. But bit by bit, all that changed. That which was once considered a flaw or defect transformed into an advantage. And Eric slowly learned to use it to his benefit.

As if being stuffed into last year's dress pants at his cousin's wake weren't uncomfortable enough, 13-year-old Jimmy has just learned from his mother that he has to say a few words at the funeral the next day. As Jimmy attempts to navigate the odd social norms of the wake, he draws on humor, heartfelt concern, and angst while racking his brain and his memory for a decent and meaningful memory to share. But it's not until faced with a microphone that the realization finally hits him: It's not the words that are spoken that matter the most, but those that are truly heard.

As we approach the 70th anniversary of the most significant UFO event of all time, best-selling author Donald R. Schmitt takes a fresh look at the renowned incident. Previous books on Roswell, including his, have focused on the witnesses, their families, and the history of the case. Cover-Up at Roswell catalogs the extreme measures the US government exercised to suppress the truth. How they silenced military witnesses clearly demonstrates their need to prevent the facts from leaking out.

Cette "Traversée des temps" affronte un prodigieux défi : raconter l'histoire de l'humanité sous la forme d'un roman. Faire défiler les siècles, en embrasser les âges, en sentir les bouleversements, comme si Yuval Noah Harari avait croisé Alexandre Dumas. Depuis plus de trente ans, ce projet titanesque occupe Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt.

Ceasefires have one big downside: They eventually come to an end. And when they do, once again game nodes are set ablaze, and platoons of Dark Faction soldiers threaten our customary world with destruction. The enemy has grown stronger and more numerous. To make matters worse, they also got their hands on even deadlier weaponry. They have learned painful lessons from previous encounters and adjusted their tactics accordingly.

Que serait-il arrivé si, cette minute-là, le jury avait accepté et non refusé Adolf Hitler, avait flatté puis épanoui ses ambitions d'artiste ?

Découvrez en audio l'uchronie la plus célèbre du XXIe siècle.

We put an end to the war with the Dark Faction, but still humanity's problems are far from over. More than half of the game's promised tong of safety has elapsed, and yet humankind is no closer to forming a unified front. We've just begun building one of the 12 planetary shield generators necessary to give Earth complete protection, but we don't have enough construction materials, players, or time. Should we ask the parallel magocratic world for help? After all, an invasion from outer space would hurt them just as bad. The mages, though, have plenty of problems of their own.

Gnat the Devourer is becoming a more prominent figure in grand space politics. Sure, he may not be totally independent yet, but he has enough leeway to be able to differentiate Earth's interests from those of its Geckho suzerains and act exclusively for the good of his own kind. Gnat must balance obligations to his almighty suzerains against a desire to advance humanity's position in space, and his home planet's search for ever more allies.

Your parents are getting divorced. Now, once you turn 16, you'll be doomed to a pitiful existence on the lowest rungs of society. The neighbor girl got plastic surgery for your sake and is levelling fast to impress you. A Sleeping God gave you its power, but now demands absolute loyalty and obedience, even in real life. Something called the Destroying Plague wants its Emissary to infect everyone alive and, as luck would have it, that Emissary is you! But the city sees you as its salvation, not a cause of great suffering.

Space is a dangerous place. Here, you're either a predator or soon to fall prey to a ruthless neighbor. And if you aren't tough enough to make it on your own, you'll need the backing of a formidable power to keep you safe from bigger fish. Earth used to have such protection—the great Geckho race. But unfortunately, the Geckho fell to an enemy onslaught, leaving planet Earth to fend for itself. And now, Earth humanity has precious little time to prove to their galactic neighbors that they are not to be trifled with.

When Timothy finally found work as a tester for a popular online MMORPG, his lifelong dream was fulfilled. And now, he earns money (and pretty good money, at that) just for doing what he loves - playing a beautiful and realistic computer game. But he isn't some typical run-of-the-mill player, like the millions of others. Timothy is truly capable and talented, and stands out from the crowd. In fact, the faceless masses consider him far too lucky and successful.

What do you do when God has spoken… but nothing seems to have happened yet? Anticipation: Living Between Promise and Fulfillment explores the space where much of the Christian life is actually lived—the space between what God has said and what God has not yet completed. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and practical application, this study traces anticipation across the whole story of the Bible: Abraham trusting a promise he could not see Joseph holding onto a dream in the darkness Israel crying out across generations The prophets speaking what was not yet visible Simeon and Anna...

After wiping out the drak nest, Eric finds himself now also in a trap. In order to avoid dying in a cave-in, he activates the manuscript he received for defeating the Lady of the Anomaly. A portal then whisks Eric away to the lookout point atop the mysterious Citadel of Chaos.

La suite des aventures hors normes de Noam, un héros puissant et inoubliable, au cœur de ce que l’humanité a de plus beau à offrir.

Willpower Isn’t Enough explores why lasting spiritual change does not come through effort alone, but through the healing and re-ordering of desire. Drawing on Scripture, Augustine’s ordo amoris, recovery wisdom, prison ministry experience, and personal reflection, Geoff Schmitt invites readers into a gentler, deeper path of transformation—one rooted in love rather than control. This book is for anyone weary of striving, caught in compulsive patterns, or longing for a faith that heals rather than exhausts.

Why did Jesus so often say, “Tell no one”? The Gospel of Mark — and other Gospel accounts — show a surprising pattern: demons silenced, healings hidden, confessions cautioned, and even mountaintop visions kept secret. This has long puzzled readers and theologians, who call it the Messianic Secret. In this study, Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt (Willingheart, God’s Peaceful Smithy) explores why Jesus concealed His identity until the Cross and Resurrection. Through Scripture, teaching, meditation, personal reflection, poetry, and prayer, this book uncovers the wisdom of God’s timing: ...
