Début 44, deux hommes exceptionnels sont arrêtés par la Gestapo et emprisonnés dans une mystérieuse forteresse allemande. L'un est médecin et vénérable d'une loge maçonnique très ancienne. L'autre est un éminent moine bénédictin. Le Reich, qui poursuit son rêve hégémonique et totalitaire, entend soumettre à son idéologie toutes les croyances qui l'ont précédé. Sous les ordres de Himmler, un service secret traque les ordres religieux, les voyants, les astrologues et les sociétés secrètes afin de leur arracher leurs pouvoirs, leurs rites et leurs techniques et de vérifier leur efficacité. Comment le franc-maçon et le chrétien, aux convictions a priori inconciliables, vont-ils s'affronter, s'écouter et s'entendre face à des tortionnaires nazis déterminés à les asservir ? Peuvent-ils sortir du piège sadique dans lequel ils sont enfermés ?

For eons, conquering dungeons has been the most efficient way to become a strong adventurer. Although, not everything is as straightforward as it seems. Several questions have always plagued the mind of those that enter these mythical places of power: Why are there so many monsters? Where does the amazing weaponry and heavy gold coins come from? Why does the very air fill with life-giving energies?!
Cal has all of the answers to these age old questions, for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Heart, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone. After several lonely years, Cal was able to regain sentience, allowing him to form new memories while slowly growing a dungeon around himself. With help from a friend, Cal learned how to create monsters and traps, increasing his power and size quickly.
When a threat to his existence rears its head, Cal decides that he will do anything to stay alive and become stronger. Unfortunately for treasure-seekers, the fastest way for Cal to achieve his goal... is to eat anyone that enters his depths.

"Gentleman Jim" Scott was a brilliant magnetic general. Like a lot of people, he believed the President was ruining the country. Unlike anyone else, he had the power to do something about it, something unprecedented and terrifying. Colonel "Jiggs" Casey was the marine who accidentally stumbled onto the plot. At first he refused to believe it; then he risked his life and career to inform the President. Jordan Lyman was President of the United States. By the time he was finally able to convince himself of the appalling truth, he had only seven days left to stop a brilliant, seemingly irresistible military plot to seize control of the government of the United States.
Seven Days in May is a political thriller novel written by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II and published in 1962. It was made into a motion picture in 1964, with a screenplay by Rod Serling, directed by John Frankenheimer, and starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.
The story is said to have been influenced by the right-wing anti-Communist political activities of General Edwin A. Walker after he resigned from the military. The author, Knebel, got the idea for the book after interviewing then-Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay.

1696, young Christopher Ellis is sent to the Tower of London, but not as a prisoner. Though Ellis is notoriously hotheaded and was caught fighting an illegal duel, he arrives at the Tower as assistant to the renowned scientist Sir Isaac Newton. Newton is Warden of the Royal Mint, which resides within the Tower walls, and he has accepted an appointment from the King of England and Parliament to investigate and prosecute counterfeiters whose false coins threaten to bring down the shaky, war-weakened economy. Ellis may lack Newton’s scholarly mind, but he is quick with a pistol and proves himself to be an invaluable sidekick and devoted apprentice to Newton as they zealously pursue these criminals.
While Newton and Ellis investigate a counterfeiting ring, they come upon a mysterious coded message on the body of a man killed in the Lion Tower, as well as alchemical symbols that indicate this was more than just a random murder. Despite Newton’s formidable intellect, he is unable to decipher the cryptic message or any of the others he and Ellis find as the body count increases within the Tower complex. As they are drawn into a wild pursuit of the counterfeiters that takes them from the madhouse of Bedlam to the squalid confines of Newgate prison and back to the Tower itself, Newton and Ellis discover that the counterfeiting is only a small part of a larger, more dangerous plot, one that reaches to the highest echelons of power and nobility and threatens much more than the collapse of the economy.

Lorsqu’Christian Grey, vingt-sept ans, richissime et autocratique homme
d’affaires, rencontre Anastasia Steele, étudiante en littérature anglaise, il
est attiré par elle comme un papillon par une flamme. Elle possède un physique
qui l’enchante et son esprit de répartie représente pour lui un défi permanent.
Malgré sa certitude qu’elle
ne lui conviendra pas, il la poursuit avec acharnement et la séduit, malgré le
choc de la découvrir vierge. Très vite, il éprouve envers elle vif un sentiment…
qui le déconcerte.
Parce que, sans que ses proches ne s’en doutent, Christian Grey a deux
visage : P-D.G de Grey Entreprises Holdings Inc. le jour, et dominant BDSM
la nuit. Il ne cherche pas une compagne mais une soumise, qui se plie au
moindre de ses caprices.
Décidé à garder
Anastasia coûte que coûte, Christian adoucit avec elle les pires aspérités de
sa nature sombre et violente… mais son obsession devient de plus en plus
intense. Habitué à tout contrôler, à être le maître absolu de son petit monde
clos, il a du mal à gérer cet inconnu qui l’attire et l’effraye à la fois.
Comme Icare s’approchant trop près du soleil, il a peur de se brûler
les ailes – et que la chute lui soit fatale…
