Exiled from his homeland for proving that there are irreconcilable contradictions between magic and physics, Druadaen nevertheless remains determined to uncover “the truth of the world”—which might only be gained by traveling beyond it. But there’s a catch: because the mysterious portal he must use only allows a single person to pass through, Druadaen must leave his companions behind. Unfortunately, the portal only works one way, and Druadaen is lost to his companions. So his friends, led by stalwart swordsman Ahearn, resolve to find another means by which they can retrieve Druadaen—and with him, the truth of the world.

Retired Egyptologist Marty Cohen has left the world of academia behind and opened a woodworking shop. But when an eccentric financier makes him an offer he can’t refuse, he finds himself—along with a ragtag team of archaeologists—studying texts that may be the earliest Egypt has produced. But the texts open doors to an astonishing journey: Marty and his team find themselves in protohistoric North Africa, a drying land dominated by monsters, where humanity is badly in need of champions. And behind the war against the monster overlords lies a greater struggle: Marty and his team have been chosen to be champions of all Earth and to run a gauntlet on humanity’s behalf. Failure will mean extinction.

Glenn Armstrong Shepard had his sights set on going to Mars as a flight surgeon, but a training accident on the Moon left him crippled. Now he has a new plan: to be fitted with bionic prosthetics and come back even stronger. Fate and the Space Force have other plans, and Glenn is grounded. Another doctor—his ex-fiancée—takes his place, and Glenn will have to fight to prove he can be an astronaut once more . . .
