Diving Adventure

On a foggy July evening in 1956, the Italian cruise liner Andrea Doria, bound for New York, was struck broadside by another vessel. In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only 51 of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the Andrea Doria is still taking lives. Considered the Mt. Everest of diving, the Andrea Doria is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge.

Eleven vehicles went down with the ferry. Only ten are on the manifest. Jack Tolliver dives the jobs that end in a body bag. Insurance recoveries, drowned snowmobiles, men who went through the ice and stayed there. He is good at it because he is careful, and he is careful because the lake off Death's Door has been taking careless men for a hundred and fifty years. The wreck of a car ferry in a hundred and ninety feet of black water should have been a survey and a signature. Then Jack counts the vehicles on the car deck and comes up one short — a van nobody declared, chained to the deck at...

It’s only my first day as a professional dungeon diver after quitting my old job, and I’m already off to a rough start. My assigned classes are nothing like I’d hoped, and I’ve been sent to face monsters with little more than an empty spellbook and a seemingly indestructible frying pan. But it’s not all bad. There’s a gorgeous swashbuckling catgirl and a stunning gun-crazy half-elf who both have my back. We’re going to need to work together more than ever now that all the dungeon exits have been closed off, trapping us underground with hordes of vicious creatures.

Only two floors are left to clear until Jake and the girls reach the dungeon's exit, where the teleporter that leads back to the surface awaits them. A promise from a monstrous rival urges them to delve deeper, but is she just after a rematch, or is there something more at stake? On the other hand, now that they've joined forces with arguably the greatest diver of their generation, the rest of the dungeon should be a cakewalk.

The end of the world will be televised. John O'Donnell was an engineer, mid-shift, when the Tutorial Dungeon swallowed the planet. Nine in ten humans are already dead. The rest got a System, a tutorial, and a show: the apocalypse airs nightly on the official broadcast, hosted by an elf in a tuxedo, with a twelve-foot skeleton general on commentary. His Undead Empire is what waits for humanity when the tutorial ends. The show has one rule: if you're entertaining, you're surviving. John has a different rule: stay boring. Keep his coworkers breathing. Then John gets the opportunity of a ...

Cute girls, dark forests, darker magic. A goth girl with goat horns walked into Jake's gas station and offered him power. She left out one detail: the second he took it, the door locked behind him. Now he's trapped at a school for forbidden magic—necromancy, demon-binding, blood sorcery—a place where the classes draw real blood and the forest wants to eat you. Four women find their way to him: a sly demon daughter, always a step ahead; a cozy blood witch from an ancient Irish clan; a jinn in chains so eager to please she could level the school; and a werewolf built for war who melts ...

Largo Marrowen already saved a prince, killed a demon champion, and earned the rank of Magus. He expected the Crown to reward him with a comfortable posting after the war—not assign him to run the youngest ward of the Royal Academy. Teaching children should be easy compared to battlefields and dungeons, but the appointment comes with a second purpose: millions in royal taxes are missing, merchants connected to the money are turning up dead, and unnatural dungeons keep appearing beneath some of the most valuable property in the city. Now Largo has to navigate noble galas, royal politics, ...
