Book excerpt: There are no heroes anymore...only villains of varying degrees...From the author of "Tex Murphy and the Tesla Effect", "Tex Murphy and the Pandora Directive" and "Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon" comes the latest exciting adventure in the series.It's November, 2050 and Tex Murphy, P.I. is fresh off a mid-life crisis...but not the fun kind. First, his memory of the past seven years was mysteriously erased. Then he found out his dream girl, Chelsee, was long gone. And now his bank account-which got inexplicably fat during his lost years-is back to skin and bones.Fate has dealt Tex some lousy cards, but he has one ace in the hole. During his just-completed case, he turned up a secret bit of information worth a "king's ransom". Or so he was told by a new player in the game, the enigmatic Count St. Germain, who seemed more than ready to deal.But before Tex can determine what a king's ransom comes to in 2050 dollars, St. Germain raises the stakes: Tex has played a pivotal role in four potentially world-changing events over the past thirteen years (six, depending on your definition of "world-changing") and St. Germain suspects this hasn't happened by accident; a "Man Behind the Curtain" has made Tex an unwitting pawn in an unknown game. And it all seems to have started during Tex's very first case.With St. Germain's unique assistance, Tex travels into the past, recounting the story of his first case, back in 2037. Together, they find new connections between all of Tex's cases and pick up the trail of the unknown puppet master. A shocking discovery awaits about what happened all those years ago...and how those events are about to change Tex's future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quiet morning at Baker Street is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of Inspector Lestrade who informs Holmes a man's body has been discovered in the Tower Bridge which was then under construction. That grisly event proves to be the opening salvo in a terrifying game of wits between Holmes and an unknown adversary. Determined to make Sherlock Holmes suffer, the ruthless foe launches a campaign of terror against the Great Detective. However, instead of striking at Holmes directly, this nemesis targets those in the Great Detective's limited circle of friends and acquaintances. Stymied, Holmes must first ascertain why he has been targeted because he cannot retaliate until he discovers who is behind this persecution. With moves and countermoves, gambits declined and accepted, the struggle soon evolves into a human chess game between Holmes and a grandmaster of evil - where each move might have untold consequences on the lives and reputations of those on both sides.

Book excerpt: When Axel Smith was chasing his final chess Grandmaster norm, he decided he needed a change in his White opening repertoire. Instead of his usual approach of memorizing many concrete moves to try to force an advantage, he would focus on pawn structures and typical plans. The result was a repertoire based on a set-up with the moves d4, Nf3, c4 and e3. It helped Axel Smith to the GM title, and led to the creation of e3 Poison.This repertoire can be played using many different move orders, and Smith explains their pros and cons. The reader will not have to memorize many moves, but hard work is still essential to understand the themes, so many exercises are provided to test the reader. Smith shows that a practical repertoire can also be a grandmaster repertoire - it is all about understanding the positional themes and plans.

Book excerpt: Skylennas Welt dreht sich nicht mehr nur um Dessin, als sie von einem neuen Geheimnis erfährt, das er verborgen gehalten hat. Geplagt von Verrat, Wut und lähmenden Wellen der Verwirrung, muss Skylenna ihre Gefühle beiseite legen und sich darauf konzentrieren, DaiSzek vor der Vexamen-Breed zu retten. Doch nach einer Tragödie begibt sie sich allein auf eine Reise, um dunkle Geheimnisse ihrer Vergangenheit aufzudecken. Die verlorenen Erinnerungen ihrer Kindheit. Die fehlenden Teile von Dessins großem Plan. Was, wenn diese düstere Wahrheit ausreicht, um sie die Klippe hinunterzustürzen? Was geschieht, wenn das süße, mitfühlende Mädchen verschwunden ist und nur noch ein Monster bleibt? Skylenna ist nicht länger eine hilflose Schachfigur. Stattdessen nimmt sie die Fäden in die Hand und inszeniert das dunkelste Puppenspiel, das jemals die Bühne der Emerald Lake Anstalt erreicht hat.

Book excerpt: The Sicilian Najdorf is one of Black's best and most combative responses to 1.e4. The Najdorf was championed by Fischer and Kasparov during their respective periods of dominance over the world chess scene, and has been used extensively by many other World Champions and elite GMs, including Anand, Gelfand, Topalov and Vachier-Lagrave to name but a few.Despite the Najdorf's obvious pedigree, many players are intimidated by the highly tactical and theoretical nature of some of its main lines. In Playing the Najdorf, IM David Vigorito shows that this need not be a problem, as he offers a complete repertoire for Black based on positional principles, offering sound recommendations which lead to a fighting game without turning the battle into a memory contest.
