of Atlantis.

Sun Koh before he can unlock the ages old secret of the Vril power.
“I’ve been a huge fan of Derrick’s Dillon from day one,”
reports Airship 27 Managing Editor, Ron Fortier. “And of course Josh has dons several Jim
Anthony projects for us including a full length novel. So when they first
proposed this team-up book, I was thrilled beyond words.”
Note fantasy author, Charles Saunders, creator of the Imaro
series, calls The Vril Agenda, “…a
remarkable achievement.”
The book features interior illustrations by award winning
artist Rob Davis, with a stunning, dynamic cover painting by Adam Shaw; his
first work for Airship 27 Productions.

frenetically paced tale that never lets up for second, masterfully delivering

Plexico’s THE SHATTERING, LEGION I: LORDS OF FIRE, a two-time finalist
for Novel of the Year*, now with gorgeous new cover art by
new series artist Mark Williams!
In the spirit of Warhammer 40,000 and the Horus Heresy! Stripped of his authority by the Emperor of
Mankind and assigned to duty in deepest space for failing to prevent the
greatest robbery in history, former Colonel Ezekial Tamerlane believes his
career as a soldier is over. But strange
forces are at work, urging the Emperor to set out on a journey fraught with
dangers into a nightmare realm a universe away from our own; and Tamerlane,
like it or not, is going along for the ride.
What he and his high-tech super-soldiers find along the way will shake
the Empire to its very foundations, and unleash a crisis of galactic
proportions that not all the armies in creation can hold back...
"Plexico is the
master of space opera." --Pulp Fiction Reviews
LEGION I: LORDS OF
FIRE begins a new galaxy-shattering adventure from the author of HAWK: HAND OF THE MACHINE and LUCIAN: DARK GOD’S HOMECOMING, and
bridges the divide between those two novels and universes. Here we see the fallout from the war of the
gods in LUCIAN, and the growing
crisis that will lead to the creation of Hawk and the other Hands of the
Machine. Futuristic armies clash,
godlike beings manipulate empires, and the gateway to the Underverse of the
Below is reopened, unleashing slavering demonic hordes upon an unsuspecting
galaxy!
“Intrigue, betrayal,
and plenty of action and adventure!” –Doug Dandridge, author of the Exodus: Empires at War series.
“With the upcoming release of the third volume in the
series,” says Plexico, “White Rocket
wanted to repackage the entire series in a new format and with new cover art. Mark Williams entered the picture and
turned in some of the most amazing cover paintings you will ever see. I’ve been
blown away from the moment I first saw his work, and I think it truly does
justice to the epic feel I am striving for with the Shattering series. I’m
thrilled to relaunch the series in this new size format and with this amazing
artwork.”

Mythworld
Charlie Reese is fresh out of college when he goes to work for Harold Lightfoot, the billionaire owner of the world’s leading parcel delivery service. Harold Lightfoot isn’t just a billionaire though—he claims to be the Greek god Hermes, and along with two other gods in men’s clothing (Aphrodite and Pan), Hermes wants Charlie to help him return the worship of the Greek pantheon to the modern world. But there are forces working against them, ancient monsters who have taken on the aspects of men, guided by a dark figure from forgotten mythology. In order to stay alive, Charlie will need to learn how to see the supernatural reality beneath the false skin of the world. In this Mythworld, he will learn the secret history of mankind, and discover that the messenger god’s true goals may be a little more sinister than he let on.

The Cast Away
By Wayne Reinagel
As the sole survivor of a doomed ship merchant vessel, a young doctor becomes hopelessly marooned on an isolated tropical isle in the Indian Ocean. Struggling against starvation, invading cannibals, and solitude, he soon discovers that he is not truly alone on the island. After unwittingly releasing an ancient evil, the brave man is forced battle a hellish demon in order to save his mortal soul.

Howard stopped walking and merely stared in disbelief for a full moment, before darting his eyes quickly to the left and right. The bed was empty and the captain was gone!
Spinning in a slow circle, the doctor strained his eyes for any sign of movement along the shore or near their campsite. He searched beneath all the tarps and looked behind each crate and barrel. With a bit of involuntary trepidation in his concerned voice, he called out the captain’s name, a low, harsh whisper at first and then louder. Finally, cupping his hands over his mouth, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Captain Keswick!!”
The sound of his call echoed across the quiet island and for a long moment there was no reply at all. And then, the response to his cry was offered. It was a great, haunting howl that might have issued from the throat of a giant timber wolf, baying mournfully at the full moon. A flock of birds took flight, abandoning their treetop nests, startled by the loud noise. Suddenly, the night was eerily quiet, as if every animal on the island feared the demon that made that noise. Howard’s blood froze solid in his veins and he felt a spike of frigid ice driven down the length of his spine. His mouth hung open and he couldn’t seem to draw the next breath. What the hell kind of creature made a sound like that? Certainly, if the voice was any indication of the size, the beast must be enormous.
Although he could see nothing out of place, he felt as if hundreds of eyes were watching his every movement. Or, perhaps, merely one pair of cold eyes, molten red and burning brightly in the darkness
Pride of the Mohicans
It is the year 1756 and the American Colonies are engulfed in the conflict known as the French and Indian War. As two Great Powers contend for control of the continent, the common people of America find themselves trapped between the armies of the British and the French. Into the frontier lands west of the Hudson come three men, last of a vanishing people, heroes for these turbulent times, determined to fight for what is right, for those in need-- and against the selfish and cruel forces that seek to exploit and destroy America in its infancy. Wise Chingachgook... fierce Uncas... and a man known by many names: La Longue Carabine... the Pathfinder... Nathaniel Poe... He is HAWKEYE. Here are four rousing, all-new tales of that dynamic trio who brought justice to the wilderness of Colonial America, by four of the most celebrated names in all of adventure storytelling: Jim Beard (Monster Aces; Sgt Janus, Spirit Breaker); Ron Fortier (Captain Hazzard; Brother Bones); Frank Schildiner (Tales of the Shadowmen; The Avenger) and I. A. Watson (Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective; Robin Hood, King of Sherwood). Created and Edited by Van Allen Plexico (Blackthorn; Gideon Cain), this all-new anthology is based upon THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS novel by James Fenimore Cooper and the 1992 film starring Daniel Day-Lewis and directed by Michael Mann.
