Sprawl Stories.front cover The Sixth World is a place of danger and few places depict that danger better than Seattle. Where the sprawl expands, klic after klic, in all directions while trying to swallow the Emerald City. It ‘s the home to millions who struggle to survive the hazards of decaying neighborhoods and the scrupulous eyes of their neighbors.

Sprawl Stories contains four Shadorun novellas:

“Neat” by Russell Zimmerman

“DocWagon 19” by Jennifer Brozek

“Big Dreams” by R.L. King

“Blind Magic” by Dylan Birtolo

Each of these novellas takes a look at life through the eyes of those that live there. A burnt out mage is now searching for missing person – nothing can wrong there! Then a reporter goes on a ride-along with a high-octane DocWagon crew. Hmm, something tells me to buckle up! Oh did I mention live on Trideo? Yeah, that’s a story for you. An ex-wageslaver gets caught between powerful forces while looking into his uncle’s death. And a shaman must recover from an injury that threatens her way of life while extracting revenge on those who double-crossed her!

Yes the Sprawl is the wild side of Seattle. Are you prepared to walk in it?

Exodus: Edge of Extinction

$60.00

Exodus: Edge of Extinction is the first expansion to the critically-acclaimed Exodus: Proxima Centauri, continuing the wide-spread conflict as six splintered factions of humanity race against time and each other to develop new technologies and forge questionable alliances to wrestle control of the Proxima Centauri star system. This time, fleet commanders will be able to command larger fleets and implement new strategies in their efforts to assert their superiority. Of course, they’ll also have to watch out for the new strategies implemented by their foes!

P-38 Lightning Aces of the 82nd Fighter

$ 22.95 SRP

When the 82nd Fighter Group was organized in March 1942, most of its initial pilot cadre was comprised of newly graduated staff sergeant pilots of Class 42-C – enlisted men! They learned to fly the P-38 at Muroc, in California’s Mojave Desert, and then moved to the Los Angeles area to continue their training and to serve as part of its air defense. In September 1942 the group was transported to the East Coast, from where it shipped out to Ireland on the Queen Mary. By this time all its remaining sergeant pilots had been commissioned. As of VE-Day the 82nd Fighter Group’s score of confirmed aerial victories stood at 548 aircraft shot down, plus a huge amount of enemy materiel – including aircraft – destroyed on the ground and the sea. It had been awarded three Distinguished Unit Citations. The cost of this success was high, however, for around 250 of the group’s pilots had either been killed in action or captured.
