Ancient legends tell of an almost forgotten civilization possessing flying fighting machines, vast armies, and a source of limitless free energy called Vril. In the middle of the twentieth century two rival submarines from warring nations in our world raced to find the lost continent of Atlantis and the source of Vril. One nation aimed to secure world domination, the other sought to preserve world freedom. Neither submarine was seen again until the present day when one of them is discovered in a secret subterranean dock and caught suddenly in the world's energy-hungry gaze. In a bid to stop the secrets of Atlantis from destroying mankind in the present day, the sub escapes its secret moorings for a perilous return voyage to Atlantis. Here in "Austin and the Lost Kingdom of Atlantis" - the sequel to "Austin and the Secret of Karnak House" - school friends Bill Young and Toby Wishman, Bill's heartthrob Lulabell Singer (Lu), and their arch enemy Stu Briggs, find themselves trapped together aboard the Professor's ancient and leaky submarine on a perilous undersea adventure to try to find and rescue the Professor's long-lost son, Rudi, and destroy the deadly secrets of Atlantis once and for all.

Before the Valley tells the stories of the main characters in the Cataclysm series, beginning with Valley of the Giants. Each character's story answers questions about their past that weren't answered in the series. Why do they do what they do, why do they think the way they think? The stories are filled with adventure and emotion, explaining in detail each characters past and what brought them to the beginning of the Valley of the Giants.

The final book in the Cataclysm series that has followed a band of adventurers across worlds, realms, even time.Power is a constantly shifting and fluid substance, beings gain it and lose it again, whether its magical, muscle or monetary, it all comes and goes. No one knows this better than the characters of the Cataclysm series. The Undruid continues this theme from the other books in the series, only this time the enemies don't leave a soul behind when they kill you. There is no Realm Above, no gods or legends when you die. Your essence is gone, changed into dark energy and it's journey is ended. That is what the heroes of The Undruid face now. The final battle to end the story begun in the Valley of the Giants truly is life or death, in the largest scope of the term. When the dark energy of the Furies takes your life, it takes your soul, never to be reborn again. Against that threat stands a very small army of heroes, some willing and some ready to escape. Not everyone makes it through, some come out stronger, some are lucky to be alive at all.

"A masterful examination of the pathetic rush to judgment in the Duke rape case." -John GrishamThe full story of the Duke Lacrosse case, by the authors who broke it In this American tragedy, Stuart Taylor, Jr., and KC Johnson argue, law enforcement, a campaigning prosecutor, biased journalists, and left-leaning academics repeatedly refused to pursue the truth while scapegoats were made of these young men, recklessly tarnishing their lives. Until Proven Innocent is the only book that covers all five aspects of the case (personal, legal, academic, political, and media) in a comprehensive fashion. It is also the only book to include interviews with all three of the defendants, their families, and their legal teams. And now it includes an up-to-date epilogue detailing the aftershocks and conclusion of the case. Taylor and Johnson's coverage of the Duke case was the earliest, most honest, and most comprehensive in the country, and here they take on the idiocies and dishonesty of right- and left-wingers alike, shedding new light on the danger of a cultural tendency toward media-fueled travesties of justice. The context of the Duke case has vast import, and in its full telling, it is captivating nonfiction with broad political, racial, and cultural relevance to our times."Taylor and Johnson have made a gripping contribution to the literature of the wrongly accused." -The New York Times Book Review"Until Proven Innocent is a stunning book." -The Wall Street Journal"Vivid, at times chilling . . . their most biting scorn is aimed at the 'academic McCarthyism' that they say has infected top-rate American universities like Duke." -Newsweek"A superb new book . . . a book that not only reads like a legal thriller, but also exposes deep problems with America's legal system and academic culture." -The Economist
