Out of This World Adventures #2

Dave Kenton, a disgraced Star Patrolman, infiltrates a pirate fleet from the mysterious Coalsack to take down the ruthless corsairs who've been raiding treasure-laden cargo ships across the galaxy. When he encounters Maeve Malloy, a space reporter trapped undercover in the pirates' stronghold, the two must work together to breach the Temple of Machines and disable the force-field that keeps them imprisoned—but time and trust are running short. With Balda, a brutal pirate captain, now hunting them, Kenton's desperate gambit to restore his honor and save the system hinges on one daring night inside the enemy's own fortress.

A drifter's chance encounter at a desert gas station leads him to a mysterious bottle with an extraordinary power—one drink grants any wish, but each sip drains the magic and, unknowingly, his own life. When Myron Morgan seizes the bottle and builds an empire of wealth and success, he becomes enslaved to the dwindling liquid, desperate to recapture its magic before it's too late. This haunting tale explores the cost of unchecked ambition in the pages of Out of This World Adventures.

Crom the Barbarian, a seasoned wanderer, finds himself shipwrecked in a lost jungle dominated by the ancient city of Akka, where ape-men servants of the beast-king Rou hold sway. When the fierce creatures capture two women—including Tanit, queen of the distant land of Ophir—Crom must pursue them into the crumbling ruins and face not only Rou's brutish armies but the horrifying spider-god Spraa itself. It's a tale of savage combat, betrayal, and one barbarian's desperate struggle against overwhelming odds in a world where primordial monsters still rule.
