While on vacation, Emily Windsnap finds herself swept up in an ancient prophecy as the New York Times best-selling series continues. Emily is headed to a tropical island for a relaxing vacation with friends and family. And this time, Emily promises her best friend, Shona, there will be absolutely no adventure — just plenty of fun. But somehow excitement always seems to find Emily, and before she knows it, she ends up on the other side of a powerful waterfall on a forgotten island no one else can get to. Well, no one that isn’t a half-mer like Emily and her boyfriend, Aaron. The people who live on the island believe in a prophecy that foretells how they can be saved from an imminent, devastating earthquake — and this prophecy seems to revolve around Emily and Aaron, as well as a mysterious, mythic giant. Will they be able to find the giant — and fulfill the prophecy — before it’s too late?

When Ana Logan agrees to go on holiday to Thailand with her estranged sister Rachel, she hopes it will be a way for them to reconnect after years of drifting apart. But now, stranded on a seemingly deserted island paradise with no radio and no food, reconciliation becomes a desperate fight for survival. For when night falls on The Forgotten Island, the dark secrets of the jungle reveal themselves. Something is watching them from the trees. Something ancient. Something evil. Combining the cosmic horrors of HP Lovecraft with the grimy sensibilities of the Video Nasties, The Forgotten Island is an outrageous old-school horror novel packed with mayhem and violence. Praise for The Forgotten Island "Lots of sex, violence, gore and laughs - this one is sure to be a hit with classic and modern fans alike!" Sadie Hartmann, Scream Horror Magazine "This book read like a blood-drenched love letter to Lovecraft, and didn't hold back on the splatter factor. But what impressed me more was Sodergren's masterful control of dread[...]this book is handled with impressive authority and confidence." James Fahy, author of The Changeling series "Nothing is going to prepare you for the mayhem Sodergren throws at you once he shows his cards. A novel packed with with old movie references, gore, violence, humour, wit and originality." Gavin Kendall, Kendall Reviews

Untouched for thousands of years, Australia continues to host some of the oldest and most captivating cultures on our planet to this very day: those of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. By the close of the 18th century and within a mere few decades, colonization abruptly terminates a way of life as ancient as the world itself, rupturing traditions and propelling entire communities into warfare, decline, and hopelessness. However, to the south of the expansive Australian continent, a vast and isolated island endures an even more dreadful fate: the utter vanishing of its original nation. Tasmania serves as the stunning setting for the prehistoric series "The Forgotten Island Clan," which envisions the foundation and endurance of a fictional clan across countless millennia, spanning both before and after the island's separation from the mainland. In the wake of climatic and ethnic changes, each book offers a chance to reveal the customs, beliefs, and wisdom of the Aboriginal people through the adventures of clan members who face new challenges. Indeed, the Traditional Owners of the ancestral lands of the southern island of Trowenna have cultivated rituals, artifacts, and an exceptionally rich culture over the ages. We are just starting to catch a glimpse of the complexity and mystery that it holds. How did the women and men of the past imagine the creation of the world and manage to preserve their ancestral customs? What techniques did they develop to sustain their livelihoods away from 'civilization'? What can we learn from this incredible legacy that modern-day Australians are rediscovering and celebrating? These are just a few of the questions that the series 'The Forgotten Island Clan' aims to address with plausible answers, backed by the research and imagination of the authors.

Although The Mysterious Island is technically a sequel to Vernes' enormously popular Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, this novel offers a vastly different take on similar thematic motifs. As with all of Verne's best-known works, The Mysterious Island is a masterpiece of the action-adventure genre, with a heaping dash of science fiction influence thrown in for good measure.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Gideon Crew--brilliant scientist, master thief--is living on borrowed time. When his mysterious employer, Eli Glinn, gives him an eyebrow-raising mission, he has no reason to refuse. Gideon's task: steal a page from the priceless Book of Kells, now on display in New York City and protected by unbreakable security. Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon steals the parchment--only to learn that hidden beneath the gorgeously illuminated image is a treasure map dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks. As they ponder the strange map, they realize that the treasure it leads to is no ordinary fortune. It is something far more precious: an amazing discovery that could perhaps even save Gideon's life. Together with his new partner, Amy, Gideon follows a trail of cryptic clues to an unknown island in a remote corner of the Caribbean Sea. There, off the hostile and desolate Mosquito Coast, the pair realize the extraordinary treasure they are hunting conceals an even greater shock-a revelation so profound that it may benefit the entire human race . . . if Gideon and Amy can survive.
