معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني

“Stirring action, appealing character growth, and shocking, vivid violence. . . . Series readers will be pleased with this return to the Secret World.” —Publishers Weekly
 
In the late 1930s something fell from the sky and landed in an area of the Atlantic not yet known as the Bermuda Triangle. After that event, part of the world irrevocably changed . . . and the mysteries began. Something else would change as well—seemingly ordinary men and women on both sides of the Allied/Axis war suddenly began to manifest uncanny powers. Super powers. The advent of the age of metahumans had begun. And hidden in the heart of the ocean, the masterminds sat back to watch. This collection contains stories of that time, as metahumans enter and change the Second World War forever. From the streets of Paris to the beach at Dunkirk, from the Battle of Britain to the Atlantic Deeps, metahumans meet and clash, while all around them rage the battles of ordinary men and women.
 
“[C]omes together seamlessly . . . an awesome and lightning-paced story: read it on a day when you will not have to put it down.” —San Francisco Book Review

نبذة عن المؤلف

Mercedes Lackey published her first book in 1985, and in 1990 she met artist Larry Dixon at a small Science Fiction convention in Meridian, Mississippi. She has written and published 135 books in many series, including the Secret World Chronicles, Hunter, Valdemar, Elemental Masters, SERRAted Edge, Elvenbane, and Obsidian Mountain series from Hyperion, DAW, Baen, Tor and many others. Cody Martin has also written with Mercedes Lackey on the SERRAted Edge series as well as an original project, “Reboots” and “Reboots: Diabolical Streak,” for Phoenyx Press. Dennis K. Lee enjoys putting his characters in extreme situations and making them fight each other, revealing the conflicts between reason and the demands of the heart. Dennis enjoys solving puzzles, whether deciphering crosswords, testing hypotheses, or weaving together the threads of an emerging storyline. Veronica Giguere is a storyteller of the spoken and written word. She narrates across genres, but her favorites are science fiction and fantasy. Her passion for science and innovation shines in her roles as audiobook narrator, science fiction author, podcast producer, and forever-geeky mom. Her success with the Secret World Chronicle podcast novel series provided the initial experience to work with other authors.
