BattleTech: Ghost of Winter

All his life, Sturm Kintaro wanted to be a MechWarrior. Now he is one—untested in combat, but eager to show his prowess and be transferred away from the backwater planet Kore. But he is about to get a bigger opportunity than he ever wanted when a band of interstellar pirates launches a surprise attack and takes control of the planet. After the rout, Sturm finds himself stranded in the frozen wastes of Kore with no 'Mech, no help, and no hope...

Until he stumbles upon a long-hidden secret, one that will help him prove himself a worthy MechWarrior. Now Sturm must wage a one-man war against the invading force—and resurrect a ghostly legend of Kore—if he is going to save his people from annihilation.

Waiting Game: The Chronicles of Covent

Doljinaar. Kingdom of might and stone. One name is whispered upon the lips of every man, woman or child old enough to know fear. An assassin lives among them. A foreigner born of a far off dark land and yet lies as close as their shadows. An assassin that goes by the name of Shade…

It has been many long years since Shade left the black forests of his people, the Dark Elves, where he was trained among the ranks of the Unseen. He has grown rich and powerful in the world of men, feeding off mankind’s compulsion for spilling its own blood. His name has become like a cold wind slipping in through the night, but even he tires of his own legend and yearns for a challenge…

And so when Shade was offered a job that could mean his own downfall, he did not hesitate to accept. He would strike at the crimelord of the Kurn underground. In one bold stroke he would make himself an enemy of his own dark underworld. Has he finally found a worthy enemy or will this contract be his last?

Before the heroes can mete out justice to the crone of Tanglethorn Manor, they'll have to rescue their kin from a burning guard tower, assault a stronghold of marsh-bound freaks, and navigate the sewers of their dying city.

Shadows Over Texas: Three Pulp Fiction Horror Classics

Legendary fantasy and horror writer Robert E. Howard (1906 - 1936) penned many ground-breaking and genre-shaping short stories during his too-short lifetime and career. His true desire, however, was to be write historical fiction in general and to write stories about the people and places in the Great American Southwest where he lived.

The three stories in Shadows Over Texas: Three Pulp Fiction Horror Classics Set in the Lone Star State hail from the dark place where Howard's gifts for writing bone-chilling horror and bone-crunching action crossed paths with his dreams of being a writer of regional fiction. They are tales with a uniquely Southwestern flair with action so frenetic and horror so black that they may be counted among the he ever wrote.

Shadows Over Texas contains "The Horror from the Mound," "The Man on the Ground," "Black Wind Blowing," and a preface from editor Steve Miller. It is presented in PDF format, which is ideal for reading on iPads and the iPod Touch.

Shadows Over Texas is available at DriveThruFiction.com.
