Now holed up in his university-assigned safe haven, a mysterious figure appears in the dead of night and takes the dejected Coble to an apparently thriving city -- a place somehow untouched by the virus. What Coble discovers here will change the way he sees the world, and turn his life upside down.

Beyond This Point There be Ogres
by Robert Bresloff
The last thing Salvi had expected was for his retirement to come to an end. The last of the great dragon slayers, Salvi believed that he had killed his last dragon. The ex-dragon slayer had settled into a boring, though much safer life running his wife’s pub called The Dragon Inn. Now his days were filled with telling tall tales of how he had saved Owain, his beloved Robyn and Cymru fromthe horrible dragon Darg. It had been many years since this last adventure and ten years since last seeing his young friend Owain, who had returned, once again, to seek Salvi's help. But this time it wasn't dragons that threatened the kingdom of Cymru, but the vicious ogres of the forest.
