Deep in his secret underground chambers, the dark wizard Cyrus Mandalin studies his most beloved and prized treasure, the ancient tome known as The Simvac. Centuries old, this book of dark magic has been the cause of violent bloodshed and world wars, ever since its creation by the ancient druid order from the dawn of time. It had taken Cyrus years to learn how to translate the forgotten language in which The Simvac had been written, but now that he has finally found a way, the magic he would soon possess would make him the most powerful man alive. In Minion City, the young sorcerer Mordain has been summoned to a secret meeting, by none other than King Henrey the Third himself. This meeting would bring together a team, consisting of the most powerful mages and experienced fighters that the world has ever seen. Once united, they learn they have been called together by these ancient sentient beings known as the Grand Mystics of Ire. The strange thing is that no one seems to know anything about these Grand Mystics, only that they are asking Mordain and the others to come to their aid. Whispers of war, high treason against the monarchs of the land, give birth to violent conflicts and deadly confrontations. Entire races of creatures have been transformed into undead, vicious monsters, bent on killing and destroying everything in their path. It seems that no matter where one turns, dark magic is taking control, and no one seems to know exactly who can be trusted. Mordain and his companions find themselves forced on a path that will change their lives forever. If they do not act quickly, it may be too late. Too late not only to save themselves, but to save the entire world from the dark magic that threatens to destroy them all.

Now you can buy the first FIVE volumes of the international bestseller "The Mystic Saga" in one very affordable book. This omnibus contains Indentured, Legacy, Violation, Judgment, and the newest issue, Convergence! Indentured introduces you to the crew of the USS Pioneer - the world's first superluminal spacecraft. It eventually leaves you with a question as to what happened to the majority of the crew of that ship when it became stranded in the Beta Hydri system. Legacy brings you the tale of those descendants of the original Pioneer colony in the Beta Hydri System, introducing for the first time, the Mystics. When Legacy is invaded by a fleet of spacecraft, the primitive colony, nine-hundred years in the making, reacts in the only way it knows how. When it comes to the Mystics, this reaction could be quite deadly. Violation finishes up the overall "introduction" to the true Mystic Saga, bringing you the tale of about a dozen USSC assassins sent to a 1940's Earth. Their sole purpose is to slip in, kill their list of targets, and slip out as quietly as possible. Unfortunately, a disgruntled soldier and a vengeful Mystic raise a significant amount of ruckus along the way. Judgment introduces us to Cyan - an IX7 unit embodied by a triune of souls from the once primitive race living beneath Legacy. Elix has been returned safely to his people on Legacy. Unfortunately for him, his abductors returned him to an era far before his own lifetime. Fortunately, however for his people, Elix offers a plethora of knowledge about the future invaders and their technologies. He offers a fighting chance for his people. Convergence brings all four of the previous books together in 1940's New York where the world itself may be on the brink of destruction. Apparently some laws are written into the very fabric of the universe, and breaking these laws can bring about some serious consequences.

Mystic Chords of Memory "Illustrated with hundreds of well-chosen anecdotes and minute observations . . . Kammen is a demon researcher who seems to have mined his nuggets from the entire corpus of American cultural history . . . insightful and sardonic." —Washington Post Book World In this ground-breaking, panoramic work of American cultural history, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Machine That Would Go of Itself examines a central paradox of our national identity How did "the land of the future" acquire a past? And to what extent has our collective memory of that past—as embodied in our traditions—have been distorted, or even manufactured? Ranging from John Adams to Ronald Reagan, from the origins of Independence Day celebrations to the controversies surrounding the Vietnam War Memorial, from the Daughters of the American Revolution to immigrant associations, and filled with incisive analyses of such phenonema as Americana and its collectors, "historic" villages and Disneyland, Mystic Chords of Memory is a brilliant, immensely readable, and enormously important book. "Fascinating . . . a subtle and teeming narrative . . . masterly." —Time "This is a big, ambitious book, and Kammen pulls it off admirably. . . . [He] brings a prodigious mind and much scholarly rigor to his task . . . an importnat book—and a revealing look at how Americans look at themselves." —Milwaukee Journal

KRISHNA'S COUNSEL sweeps you back to sleepy south India in the 1960s, right into the tumultuous life of Pia, a brilliant and defiant teenager whose world disintegrates under the brutal sword-thrust of an eerie death. It is the loving gift of a magnificent view of eastern philosophy - particularly a poignant scene in the Bhagavad Gita, when Lord Krishna advises the quailing warrior Prince Arjuna to pick up his great bow Gandiva and forever rout the corrupt foe, regardless of the consequences - that saves her from certain self-annihilation. Many years later, now a gorgeous woman living in frenetic New York City, Pia is tracked down and coaxed to return to India to deal with an insistent throng of old ghosts. But horror strikes yet again - and she is compelled by supernatural agents to heed Lord Krishna’s timeless advice as she finds herself on the trail of a charming psychopath who will stop at nothing to kill her.
