I am the last of my type existing today in all the Solar System.

The Nameless Castle
To a man who has earned such titles as "The Shakespeare of Hungary" and "The Glory of Hungarian Literature"; who published in fifty years three hundred and fifty novels, dramas, and miscellaneous works, not to mention innumerable articles for the press that owes its freedom chiefly to him, it seems incredible that there was ever a time of indecision as to what career he was best fitted to follow. The idle life of the nobility into which Maurus Jókay was born in 1825 had no attractions for a strongly intellectual boy, fired with zeal and energy that carried him easily to the head of each class in school and college; nor did he feel any attraction for the prosaic practice of law, his father's profession, to which Austria's despotism drove many a nobleman in those wretched days for Hungary. It was Pétofi, the poet, who was his dearest friend during the student-life at Pápa; idealism ever attracted him, and, by natural gravitation toward the finest minds, he chose the friendship of young men who quickly rose into eminence during the days of revolution and invasion that tried men's souls.

Adrift : 100 Charts that Reveal Why America is on the Brink of Change
From bestselling author and NYU business school professor Scott Galloway comes an urgent examination of the future of our nation - and how we got here.
We are only just beginning to reckon with our post-pandemic future. As political extremism intensifies, the great resignation affects businesses everywhere, and supply chain issues crush bottom lines, we're faced with daunting questions - is our democracy under threat? How will Big Tech change our lives? What does job security look like for me? America is on the brink of massive change - change that will disrupt the workings of our economy and drastically impact the financial backbone of our nation: the middle class.
In Adrift, Galloway looks to the past - from 1945 to present day - to explain just how America arrived at this precipice. Telling the story of our nation through 100 charts, Galloway demonstrates how crises such as Jim Crow, World War II, and the Stock Market Crash of 2008, as well as the escalating power of technology, an entrenched white patriarchy, and the socio-economic effects of the pandemic, created today's perfect storm. Adrift attempts to make sense of it all, and offers Galloway's unique take on where we're headed and who we'll become, touching on topics as wide-ranging as online dating to minimum wage to the American dream.
Just as in 1945 and 1980, America is once again a nation at a crossroads. This time, what will it take for our nation to keep up with the fast and violent changes to our new world?
The Flying Legion
The room was strange as the man, himself, who dwelt there. It seemed, in a way, the outward expression of his inner personality. He had ordered it built from his own plans, to please a whim of his restless mind, on top of the gigantic skyscraper that formed part of his properties.

The Causality of Time
A story, older than time itself. On Earth, it starts in the 12th century BC during the expansionist wars of the Assyrian Empire. Love lost but immortality gained. The main character, Talmido is fighting for the freedom of choice and the liberty of free will. He has the ability to live forever, never get sick or old, and regenerate his tissue if damaged. He flees the Assyrian military apparatus and fights successive battles for freedom while accumulating masses of displaced, desperate, freedom-loving individuals like himself.
All of this is happening to a backdrop of alien intelligence and interference. Factions formed to determine whether conscience or chaos coalescence should be the dominant factor, for sentient creation’s character. Vast galactic battles of will play out to the eventual definition of what it is to be alive. The eventual causality of the defining actions of antiquity echo to us as we struggle to maintain the freedoms fought over to either win or lose them on the battlefield, governmental office, or the pulpits of the twenty-first century.

The Ravenhood 3. – Célvonal
"Az egyetlen szerelem, amit valaha ismertem vagy amire sóvárogtam, az beteggé tesz, belebetegszem a vágyakozásba, a kéjvágyba, a nyomorúságba és a bánatba. Abba az eltorzult érzésbe, ami sebeket és megcsömörlött szívet hagy hátra".

De törekvéseit derékba töri az, amikor beleszeret abba a nőbe, aki tönkre tehet mindent, amit két évtizeden át tervezett. Cecilia Horner iránti mindent felemésztő szenvedélyéért nagy árat kell fizetnie, egyebek közt elveszíthet mindent, ami számára kedves.
De Tobias harcos, és elszánja magát, hogy mindent megszerez: leszámol a régi sérelmekért és visszaszerzi a nőt, akit szeret...

Worms Of the Earth

He seeks forbidden aid from the Worms of the Earth, a race of creatures who were once men but after generations of living underground have become monstrous and semi-reptilian. He secures their help after stealing a religious item of theirs from a barrow, trading it back in return for them delivering Sulla to him for a battle to the death. However, Sulla's mind is broken from his contact with the horrific Worms of the Earth and Bran Mak Morn slays him in mercy rather than vengeance, realising that some weapons are too foul to use, even against Rome.
