A lo largo de sus aventuras, esta antigua superestrella logrará retomar su destino, pero eso no será suficiente. El desea saber ¿por qué se compra a los retornados en secreto? ¿por qué tienen un precio tan alto en el mercado negro? ¿qué puede hacer este “doctor” con esos desafortunados?

He’s back, but this time, the glitter and sequins are things of the past. Travellers who left home centuries ago to colonise the galaxy are now being hunted down by a mysterious scientist who has something against revenants. Max will have to face a far greater enemy than the one he was fleeing on board the Gemini II. Over the course of his adventures, this former jet-setter will have to take control of his own fate, but that will not be enough. He wants to know. Why are the revenants being hunted down in secret? Why are they worth such an astronomical sum on the black market? What on earth could this ‘doctor’ want with all these unfortunate souls? What he is about to discover will shock the entire galaxy.

Nel corso dei suoi incontri l’ex habitué del jet-set riesce a riprendere in mano il proprio destino, ma non gli basterà. Vuole sapere. Perché danno la caccia ai resuscitati di nascosto? Perché valgono così tanto sul mercato nero? Cosa potrai mai farci il "dottore" con questi sfortunati? La scoperta che farà potrebbe sconvolgere l’intera galassia.

You Can Never Go Home Again: The Möbius Worlds
by TrjcTwo men are thrust into a conflict that has been going on for thousands of years. A warlock and a warrior king who have lived many lives, reborn again and again, but have no memories of their pasts. Another man with significant business acumen and knowledge of negotiating techniques is also pulled into this parallel world, and his knowledge becomes critical to winning the new war with the gods. They are joined by a young boy who is an outcast among the people of Bophane because his heritage is Dwaelvki--the result of the mating of different races, considered taboo in the cultures of Bophane. The young boy has druidic powers that have not been seen in hundreds of years. The three men and the boy ally with the Four Witches, the most powerful wielders of Magicke in Bophane and the guarantors of peace for centuries… but now the gods are tired of peace.

Lies of Descent (FALLEN GODS' WAR #1)
by Troy Carrol BucherIn this compelling fantasy from a debut author, two young people must unite two warring cultures to banish the gods who destroyed their homeland.The Fallen Gods' War drove the remnants of a victorious army across the ocean in search of a new homeland. A thousand years later, the lifeless continent of Draegora is largely forgotten, a symbol for the regiments that remain. Demons to some. Protectors to others. The power of their god-touched blades has forged a nation, though many resent their absolute control. Riam and Nola are unknowing descendants of the old world. When it’s discovered they carry enough Draegoran blood to serve in the regiments, they are dragged away from their families to begin training. If they survive, they will be expected to enforce the laws of the covenant, to fight the Esharii tribesmen who raid along the border, and to be judge, jury, and executioners for those accused of crimes. For Riam, who welcomes his escape from an abusive father, the power to protect those who cannot defend themselves is alluring. For Nola, who wishes to return home, it is a betrayal by all she holds dear. Neither is given a choice...and neither may ever get the chance to serve.Lies of Descent begins an epic trilogy of fallen gods, betrayal, and magic—where dark motives often dwell within the true and just, and where the things most feared sometimes lead to salvation.
