Dette er en fortælling om en farefuld livsfærd for de unge krigere Hvea og Daam, vokset op i en mørk verden besmittet med vold og ondskab nedarvet fra undergangen passeret i det 21. århundrede. De er børn af to tilbageværende totalitære teknomagter – Domed Kosmos Berlin og New Mega Moscow – som bekriger hinanden for at få overherredømmet. Befolkningerne er holdt i et jerngreb som undersåtter og kanonføde. Øen Dark Land er hjem for uregerlige krigerstammer med deres styrke af humaniode dræberbotter, totalt overlegne mennesker, kaldet supraer. Dark Land bliver brugt som bufferzone mellem de krigsførende bystater med hensigten at hærde krigere, kyborgere, supraer og til at teste nye våben. I det arrede, vindblæste ruinlandskab dækkende det meste af øen kaster kamppatruljer fra de tre fraktioner sig ind i blodige sammenstød for at træne krigens kunst. Despoterne fra Domed Kosmos Berlin og New Mega Moscow ser fordele i at opretholde Dark Land-ordningen. Det er også en måde at holde den altødelæggende totalkrig fra døren – i det mindste for et stykke tid.Forskerne og ingeniørerne fra Supradivisionen i New Mega Moscow har opfundet medieuafhængig avanceret maskinintelligens kropsliggjort i en ny generation af supraer.Opdukken af tre prototyper på slagmarken trækker fronterne hårdt op og sætter tingene i bevægelse. En dødsensfarlig trussel og prøvelser lurer i kulissen, ikke mindst for den smukke krigerinde Hvea, kropskunstprydet med en selvfortærende drageslange. Vil Hvea og Daam slippe levende fra deres møde med Dark Lands hårdføre indfødte og den legendariske general Arkan? Situationen kalder på åbenhed, mod og handlekraft kun at finde i udvalgte få fra menneskenes rækker. I mørket stjernerne lyser klarest!Uddrag af bogenHvea løftede hjelmvisiret op og kunne med ét smage salt i luften og lugte havet. Dette til trods for at det fra den indtagede stilling ikke var muligt at se det smalle sund mellem den ødelagte by på den vestvendte kyst beliggende lige overfor Dark Land. Nogle høje ruinbebyggelser blokerede havudsigten fra stedet. Spetsnaz-teamet fra New Mega Moscow var ved at være i taktisk position til at indlede angrebet på en mindre gruppe low-techere. Patruljen havde sporet og jaget gruppen fra indlandet helt ud til ruinbebyggelserne ved Øresunds vestlige kystlinje. De havde i desperation forsøgt at undslippe ved at søge ind i denne højhusbebyggede bydel på en mindre ø i udkanten af det ødelagte urbane område. Det var en forkert beslutning. Den eneste flugtvej, de havde tilbage, var en svømmetur til Dark Land. Havde jeg været i deres situation, var jeg hoppet i og havde crawlet som en gal. Den chance var forpasset. Det var enden for disse stakler. Hvea gøs en smule ved tanken.

Brynja så hurtigt tilbage mod den mørke himmel, og Hjørdis fulgte hendes blik mod stormen bag dem.“Kom nu ned. Det er ikke sjovt.”“Jo, det er smaddersjovt det her. Jeg tror ikke, jeg har gjort det, siden jeg var barn.”Lige da Hjørdis skulle til at sætte af for at springe videre, ramte en stor bølge hendes sten.

Loki and Valkyrie seek redemption in the first adventure of an epic new multiversal series that reimagines the origins of iconic Marvel heroes.So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have I watched the trickster god sow chaos. But . . . what if Loki saved Asgard from Tony Stark’s revenge? Thor—Son of Odin, God of Thunder, Wielder of Mjolnir—is dead. And Loki is responsible.  It was meant to be only a joke—tampering with the Destroyer, changing Thor’s course to Midgard—a bit of mischief with a chance of maiming. But Loki’s harmless prank spiraled out of control, unleashing death and destruction on New York City and the heroes sworn to protect it. The city was saved, at the cost of Thor’s life.  Furious and heartbroken, the All-Father banishes Loki to Earth for his crime. Loki finds himself in a realm of boxed wine, instant noodles, and some sort of regional performance troupe known as the “Buffalo Bills.” It’s a meager existence, far from Asgard’s grand courts, but he finds his new friend, Brian the Gecko, a much more engaging companion than the sycophants back home. It’s a true meeting of the minds.  Loki is the God of Mischief—but he knows, deep down, that he never truly deserved to stand next to their father’s golden child, Thor, as two true sons of Odin. Yet he cannot endure his exile in peaceful isolation. A Valkyrie—Hel-bent on carrying out her oath to Thor—barges into Loki’s trailer home with his brother’s final words from the beyond: a plea to find a certain Dr. Jane Foster and pass the hammer Mjolnir on to its rightful heir. While Loki struggles to fulfil his brother’s last request, the far-reaching consequences of his fatal prank return to haunt him. Blinded by grief over those he lost in the chaos wrought by Asgard, Iron Man vows revenge on those who consider themselves gods. Determined to protect Earth from the might of this unpredictable alien power, Stark forges Asgard’s own weaponry into a lethal suit of armor, set on eradicating any tether between their worlds—consequences be damned. When Asgard looks to Loki for salvation, he must answer the question: Am I truly worthy?
