Böcker av Aaron Schneider

Looks at how digitalization has changed the way we produce and interact, and the implications for working classes and countries of the Global South.

Is her time finally running out or is there any hope that she can escape the insidious sorcery that threatens to devour her from within?And if her failure to outrun the dark past brings her to a sure and certain end, how can she make it such that those she loves will be safe and the wicked world will never forget her passing?Her path brings her to an ancient mountain city with monsters without, monsters within, and monsters beneath. Faced by enormous odds, Ax-Wed's fell hand will wield her grinning weapon with a resoluteness born of necessity.But evil is unleashed when eldritch schemes wrought and brewed decades before finally bear their terrible fruit. With her enemy both without and within, can she hope to stand, even when falling means death or worse for those in her care?In this dark time, allies unlooked for are as strange and terrible as any enemy she might face and it seems her only chance is to throw herself once more into the breach. But what if bloody hands put to bloody work is not enough?As shadows of an malevolent past stretch longer and deeper than ever before, Ax-Wed will come to face to face with who she is, where she has been, and what she most desperately needs.

After Axe-Wed's adventures in Jehadim the intrepid exile had hoped that she'd found a chance for some easy coin among good people. A little guarding of a caravan as they go to barbarian infested steppes, what could be easier... well, perhaps she hadn't thought that one through.So now our slayer finds herself in a land where monsters are pets and tribal warfare is life, and wouldn't you know it there is a prophecy... why is there always a prophecy?

Across the sea from the bloody adventures of Skharr the Deatheater, another fell-handed wanderer treads a bloody road.Leaving her people's crumbling decadence behind her, Axe-Wed wanders a savage world intent on making her way one axe stroke at a time.When she finds herself the victim of a nefarious kidnapping Axe-Wed must battle her way through darkness and horrors in the deepest dungeons, as her allies face intrigues and treacheries in the world above, as the city teeters on the brink of destruction.

It's amazing what you can do when you have no heart.Things haven't exactly been going Lieutenant Lucius "Luce" Bollhams way.Sure he beat back the Gythraul Legions, the forces he's trained are chasing them across the Twilit Kingdom. But Luce can't even celebrate the victory since the Queen decided to bury a soul-sucking artifact in his chest.With the Gormstone enslaving his will and eating his emotions, Luce discovers there really is no rest for wicked. Growing more ruthless and poisoning everything around him, Luce is desperate to break free, but how do you fight back when your own body has become a prison? And what do you do when part of you, that thing that wears your skin in your worst moments, starts liking the new arrangement?Alienating his allies and forced to serve a Queen who's sanity is questionable, Luce will be lucky to survive the next phase of his campaign. Trust flew out the window with the Gormstone, but new alliances are forming and everyone is forced to take sides in a conflict that may reach much further than the invading Gythraul.And in the midst of it all this remains a man who only wants a cause worth fighting for.He might be looking for a while, if he lives...

Two-thousand years of war just met its match.For Lieutenant Lucius "Luce" Bollham, things have been going from bad to worse since the caves of Afghanistan. First, ostracized by his brothers in arms, now the possibility of being tried as a war criminal. You'd think getting away from it all would be a relief, but where you escape to matters.Luce's "escape" takes him to the magical Twilit Kingdom of Other-Realm where he finds himself thrust into the midst of a war nearly two thousand years old.And he thought Afghanistan was tough...Caught between mind-bending sorcery, ancient grudges, and intrigues among aeon-old beings, Luce must gather the forces of the kingdom and revolutionize their idea of combat before enemy legions march across the land. Witchery and swordplay pair with assault rifles and asymmetrical warfare to stop an adversary who seeks nothing less than utter conquest.Oh, and there is a woman--when is there not? Except she's a centuries-old warrior-sorceress with blood under her nails and fire on her lips. Bryth is just the kind of gal you want around in a world where curses can kill and dark things stir.In the midst of all the madness, Luce has to decide what it is he is actually fighting for.Out of the frying pan and into the inferno, as they say."Aaron's writing reminds us that we read for the journey, not the destination. Shades of Tolkien can be glimpsed in this beautifully written, beautifully imagined epic war-story. It's Call of Duty meets Lord of the Rings. If you love military fantasy, don't miss this trilogy." -USA Today Bestselling Author, AL Knorr.
