Books with title Legends: Heroes and Villains

From the pen of master storyteller Anthony Horowitz comes a new series of myths and legends from around the world, retold in a contemporary voice, and illustrated with bold, graphic artwork. Packed with Horowitz's signature action, humor, and suspense these collections feel fresh, modern, and perfect for today's fast-moving audience. The battle between good and evil has raged throughout time, in every corner of this world and the next. Some have fought using their superior strength, and some their wit and cunning. Legends: Heroes and Villains features some epic favorites on both sides like Hercules, Theseus, and Polyphemus the Cyclops, and other less-familiar but equally fierce opponents like Polynesian trickster Maui, and Grendel of Beowolf. No matter if they fight with speed, skill, or sheer determination, they all have one thing in common: they will fight each other to the death.

“So if you could choose to meet any character here, who would it be?” Ozzie asked.“Any character?” Taryn asked curiously.“Sure.”“I honestly don’t know. Kind of changes the game now that we potentially could, doesn’t it? What’s that saying? Don’t meet your heroes.”Having survived their adventures in Leleplar, Taryn and Ozzie have moved on with their lives...for the most part. Life back in their own world has not come without its own share of problems, however. Just as Ozzie is trying to figure out which path to take in life, he and Taryn are dropped back into an unbelievable other-world. This time, though, their friend Smitty has been dragged along for the ride. How will they react when they encounter characters from literature in our own world? How will those characters react to them?

All the “Victory:” Short science-fiction stories as one book, suitable for all ages.The war. It was all but forgotten. Yet some had been secretly tasked, they had tirelessly worked from the shadows for generations. They had refused to accept undeserved defeat…now was the time. Armed with secret historical knowledge, access to a relic of the distant past could change everything… After war, the victors write the history… As Victory had decelerated on arrival at the meeting point, the stars had shifted to points in the darkness instead of the faint coloured lines of light Pulse travel. All eyes had shifted with the change to the view. The heated discussion momentarily forgotten. A distant gas cloud with a newly formed star at its inner edge, had light scattering throughout, producing vast fields of ever shifting rainbows. It was pretty to the point of heart stopping.At that moment, alongside Victory, blocking the view of the cloud, space itself appear to rip. It had been like black velvet being pulled from two edges, with the force to rip open the centre of the cloth. The gap of gray in the darkness had widened and from within emerged a ship.Patterson had been expecting a ship to meet them. She had expected it to be already here. This was, she did have to say, by far a more impressive entrance. The ship was small, in comparison to the Victory. It was unlike anything Patterson or anyone else in the mess hall had ever seen. It looked almost alive, organic. It was just as…no. It was more pretty than the gas cloud....
