For Lance (level 19 zombie sorcerer) and his friend MrsKeller (level 23 hobgoblin brigand), life's a battle and then you die.
And then you rez. And then you battle again.
At least, that's how it is in Discordia, the addictive online game that makes real life seem dreary by comparison.
At his new school, Lance feels weird and out of place, but in beautiful and complex Discordia, his zombie sorcerer is doing great: leveling fast, learning new skills, and making friends. He's even met a level 60 toon, TheGreatOne, who has recruited him and MrsKeller into his guild: Awoken Myths.
Lance wishes he could spend all his time in the game-until TheGreatOne transports him and MrsKeller to the real Discordia, the perilous world in the eleventh dimension that inspired the game. Before they're allowed to leave, they must complete a high-level quest that may determine Discordia's survival-and Lance's, too. If they don't get out soon, Lance could disintegrate into the character he plays in the game: a zombie.
The friends accept TheGreatOne's quest and meet Rayva, a runaway who may have been lured into Discordia against her will. The three make their way through a country on the brink of war, fighting monsters, traitors, and spies-yet their greatest danger may be Lance himself.

Michael Prasad knows he shouldn’t go out on the Mars surface alone. It’s dangerous. His parents have forbidden it. And the anxiety he feels almost every time he puts on a spacesuit makes it nearly impossible for him to leave the safety of the colony.
But when his best friend, Lilith, suggests they sneak out one night, he can’t resist the chance to prove everyone—including himself—wrong.
As the two ride along the Mars surface in a stolen rover, miles from the colony, a massive solar flare hits the planet, knocking out power, communication, and navigation systems, and the magnetic field that protects the planet from the sun’s deadly radiation.
Stranded hours from home with an already limited supply of food, water, and air, Michael and Lilith must risk everything if they’re to get back to the colony alive.

Auf dem Planeten Delos im Nebel des Sternbildes Sagittarius hat sich bereits viele Tausend Jahre vor unserer Zeit eine hochtechnisierte Kultur entwickelt. So, wie wir heute in der Lage sind, den Weltraum zu durchfliegen, verfügten die Leute von Delos schon damals über gewaltige Flugkapseln und riesige Raumschiffe, mit denen sie zu anderen Sternen starteten. Da Delos vom Untergang bedroht ist, wird eine von der Kommandantin angeführte Expedition ausgeschickt, die auf dem Blauen Planeten - so nennen sie auf Delos unsere Erde - nach neuem Lebensraum suchen soll. Dieser Expedition, die in den südamerikanischen Anden landet und scheitert, wird ein zweites Raumschiff zur Hilfe nachgesandt. Aber Satham, der wissenschaftliche Leiter des zweiten Schiffes, ist ein ehrgeiziger und heimtückischer Mann . Er möchte den Blauen Planeten unter seine alleinige Herrschaft bringen. Die abenteuerliche Auseinandersetzung zwischen Ais und Satham um die getreue Durchführung der Delos-Mission, die sich auf dem Kontinent Atlantis abspielt, schildert in spannend-packenden Szenen dieses Hörspiel.
