"A standalone story in Kevin J. Anderson’s Terra Incognita universe. What happens when a close-minded prester is confronted with a mythical creature that his faith will not let him believe in?"
"A line in the sand. Awall to the sky.
After terrible atrocities by both sides, the religious war between Tierra and Uraba has spread and intensified, irreparably dividing the known world. What started as a series of skirmishes has erupted into a full-blown crusade.
Now that the Uraban leader, Soldan-Shah Omra, has captured the ruined city of Ishalem, his construction teams discover a priceless ancient map in an underground vault—a map that can guide brave explorers to the mysterious Key to Creation. Omra dispatches his adopted son Saan to sail east across the uncharted Middlesea on a quest to find it.
In Tierra, Captain Criston Vora sets off in a grand new vessel to explore the great unknown and find the fabled land of Terravitae. But Criston cannot forget how his previous voyage ended in shipwreck and disaster … and the loss of his beloved wife Adrea, who—unknown to him—battles palace intrigues and constant threats in far-off Uraba. For Adrea is now the wife of the soldan-shah and mother of Omra’s adopted son….
The Map of All Things continues Kevin J Anderson’s epic fantasy of sailing ships, crusading armies, sea monsters, and enchanted islands."
"You killed our fathers, so we kill your sons. How can you say you’re the innocent ones?
After long voyages plagued by hurricanes and sea monsters, Criston Vora and Saan race to the mysterious lost continent of Terravitae. Saan’s quest is to find the Key to Creation, a weapon that may defeat his country’s enemies. And Criston wants vengeance against the monstrous Leviathan that ruined his life long ago.
Back home, two opposing continents and religions clash over the remnants of a sacred city, unleashing their vengeance in a war that could end both civilizations. Queen Anjine and Soldan-Shah Omra are driven by prejudice and hatred, heaping atrocity upon atrocity in an escalating conflict that only their gods can end.
Meanwhile, the secretive Saedrans, manipulating both sides, come ever closer to their ultimate goal: to complete the Map of All Things and bring about the return of God."
"Terra Incognita. The blank spaces on the map, marked only by the words “Here Be Monsters.” Mysteries, terrors, and perhaps the greatest discovery in history.
Two nations at war fight for dominion over the known, and undiscovered, world. They pin their last hopes for ultimate victory on finding a land out of legend.
Each nation will send their ships and heroic captains to brave the untamed oceans, wild storms, sea serpents, and darker dangers unknown to anyone. It is a perilous undertaking, but there will always be the impetuous, the brave, and the mad who are willing to leave home to explore the unknown.
Even to the edge of the world. . .
Kevin J. Anderson’s spectacular fantasy epic is a sweeping tale of adventure on the high seas, with a cast of characters including kings and sultans, captains and crew, their enemies and their loves, the fanatics and the meek—as two embattled kingdoms vie for the greatest treasure of them all."

"The Unnatural Quarter becomes a grim fairy tale in Dan Shamble’s most pointed case.
When the Big Uneasy returned all monsters and mythical beasties to the world, something was missing. After his vampire girl Alvina flunks a school report on unicorns, Dan is embroiled in a deeper mystery: With unnatural creatures on every streetcorner, why has no one ever seen a unicorn?
But other weird clients demand the attention of a zombie P.I.—a lovestruck frog demon just wants her handsome, befuddled prince back after an evil spell wears off.
A fairy godmother entrepreneur and her pegasus partner launch a line of glass footwear, but they find that it’s a fragile market.
Hard-working lagoon creatures struggle with trespassers, vandals, and civic ordnances as they launch a new swampy resort and spa.
A gambling-addict dragon needs a special support animal, and the local Bigfeet just want to be seen for who they are.
These cases lead Dan Shamble and his companions to a secret society of Horn Brothers, where unicorns are murdered, where evil wizards are just trying to make amends, where fairy godmothers are not what they seem, and where the unicorns’ magical pets—their beloved horn dogs—are being dog-napped by a mysterious force.
And the undead just want a Happily Ever After, like everyone else. "

"Dan Shamble, zombie P.I.
He’s a stiff detective, and he’s got stones!
The cases don’t solve themselves in the Unnatural Quarter, filled with ghosts, vampires, mummies, werewolves, and other mythical creatures. It takes an intrepid zombie detective to decipher mysteries, unravel conspiracies, track down cursed objects, and find time for a beer with his Best Human Friend at the Goblin Tavern.
Dan Shamble, zombie P.I., is back from the dead and back on the case in this new collection of eight wacky adventures—featuring a cyclops who lost his eyeball on a drunken bender, an Aztec mummy who wants revenge for too many parking tickets, a crawling hand accused of fingering expensive objects from a curio shop, a distraught mutant fly mother searching for her missing maggots, and the real boogeyman (an insurance salesman) being harassed by his ghoulish aunts. These cases have enough plot twists and stomach turns to keep you guessing, and chuckling, until the very end. "
