  I'd had less than a week to recover from an incident that left me half-dead. My body was battered and bruised in ways I can't even begin to describe. 
   
   
   
  Dark magic use had consumed me, spat me out a husk of a man. I was little more than flesh and bone, weary to my very soul. 
   
   
   
  So, of course, there was a knock at the door. 
   
   
   
  My smile faded, happy face turning to tears, as Kate—a gorgeous vampire and the woman I lust over at every available opportunity—told me the news. Dark magic came to me as my eyes snapped to black and my tattoos felt fit to burst with the energy they channeled. 
   
   
   
  I'm Faz Pound, a.k.a. Black Spark, Dark Magic Enforcer, and a goddamn wizard! 
   
   
   
  I'll tear apart hell itself to get at anyone or anything that dares hurt the people I care about. Nobody messes with me or mine and lives. Nobody. 
   
   
   
  Things are about to get nasty.

  Duel (version 2)

  Known for his plays and short stories, Anton Chekhov also wrote a series of novellas, astonishing for their psychological complexity and compelling human portraiture. In The Duel, the wastrel and libertine Laevsky absconds to the Caucasus with another man's wife, Nadyezhda Fyodorovna. While there, he forms several acquaintanceships with a colorful array of characters: Von Koren the zoologist, Samoylenko the doctor, and Pobyedov the giddy deacon. Before long, both Laevsky and his mistress succeed in offending local society by their dissolute lifestyles, leading to the inevitable insult, challenge, and duel. Duels having been exploited as plot twists throughout the writings of Tolstoy, Turgenev, and Dostoyevsky (all ironically alluded to by the author), the challenge for Chekhov is to make it work one more time in 1891, at a time when duelling had nearly died out in both society and literature. The result is a richly layered, utterly original, philosophically and psychologically ambiguous story of human love and friendship. ( summary by Expatriate)

  Other than boasting of having a thousand moons, this nasty planet could only brag of having the most numerous, vicious, mean, death dealing set of animals every encountered anywhere. The atmosphere was nice though if you didn't mind the screams of pain constantly in the air. And did I mention that the most notorious space pirate in the universe has you captive there. Things are not looking good for Lance Kenniston and his Jovian sidekick at the moment. Space adventure at it's pulpiest!
