More than ever before, the realm of Magna Britannia needs a saviour - a man like new Prime Minister, Devlin Valentine. But while London prepares for the launch of the Jupiter Station there are those who want this longed-for change to come about more quickly, people who are prepared to give evolution a helping hand. When a deadly legacy returns, Ulysses Quicksilver finds himself drawn into that pit of despair known as Bedlam.

On a private island in the Caribbean, business guru Doc Papa has reinvented the zombie as a role-model for the superrich.
The world's business elite come to St. Ignatius to study the Way of the Barefoot Zombie and interact with a captive colony of the undead. They live with them, dress like them and act like them in order to free their own inner zombies.
Once they've learned to harness the zombie's single minded lust for food nothing will stop them from making a killing on the global markets. However, Doc Papa's plans for dominating the world's business arena go awry when the island is infiltrated by undercover operatives from the Zombie Liberation Front and a rogue priestess from Doc Papa's past.
Real Voodoo and social satire collide in this gore-drenched tale of greed and global profit.

From a labyrinthine dwarven deathtrap to a besieged and battle-torn Andon, a haunted ancient limbo at the end of time and the aquatic lair of a vast serpent, Kali must battle her way to a place in the clouds that legend calls the Crucible of the Dragon God. And there she must confront the past itself, for the Crucible holds a secret kept even from the Old Races themselves a secret so staggering that she is about to discover the true reason her world is called Twilight...

One man against an entire city of maniacs!
This ain't a complicated story, but then Cade wasn't a complicated man. He didn't exactly care about people, did Cade, but if one of the people he almost cared about was in trouble, he'd help out if he could. If that meant heading down to San Francisco - even though nobody ever came back from there alive - well, fine. If that meant taking on whole armies of religious maniacs, coupon-clipping cannibals and helter-skelter hippies who dealt out free love and fast death in equal measure, armed with nothing but his two fists and a decent hunting knifeŠ well, I'm kind of runnin' my mouth here.
This ain't a peaceful story, is what I'm tryin' to say.
And Cade... Cade wasn't a peaceful man.
