Colonel John Clayton, ein Scout der US-amerikanischen Grenztruppen, wird schwer verwundet und schließlich von Crazy Horse, dem Kriegshäuptling der Sioux, adoptiert und in den Stamm aufgenommen. Die leidenschaftliche Liebe zu einer jungen Indianerfrau trägt Zwiespalt in seine Seele und führt ihn auf einen Grenzpfad tragischer Einsamkeit zwischen Weißen und Indianern.
Sein aufrichtiger Versuch, General George A. Custer vor der Schlacht am Little Big Horn zu warnen, scheitert. Jeder sieht in ihm einen Verräter, und so findet er als Ausgestoßener aus zwei Welten in den Winterstürmen des Nordens ein düsteres Ende...
Henry Wilson Allens Roman-Erstling Keine Überlebenden (No Survivors, 1950), verfasst unter dem Pseudonym Clay Fisher, beschreibt das Schicksal von John Clayton vor dem farbigen Hintergrund des historischen Geschehens mit einer weitreichenden Einsicht in das geschichtliche Quellenmaterial. Und er lässt John Clayton selbst erzählen – mit einer kargen Sprache von großartiger Unmittelbarkeit und mitreißender Bildkraft.
Der Apex-Verlag präsentiert diesen Klassiker der Western-Literatur in seiner Reihe APEX WESTERN als neue und ungekürzte deutsche Übersetzung, ergänzt um ein Essay von Dr. Karl Jürgen Roth. [more]

Wilfried A. Hary: „Die ultimative Waffe – in den falschen Händen!“
Das Randall-Team befindet sich nach einigen Abenteuern in der fernen Prupper-Galaxis. In der Todeszone am Rand dieser Galaxis treffen sie auf ein Mysterium der besonderen Art – und auf einen Computer, der sich erinnert und sie dabei über einige Details des Mysteriums aufklärt, mit dem sie beinahe tödlich konfrontiert wurden.
Irgendwann in der Vergangenheit hatte sich in diesem Sonnensystem, auf dem dritten Planeten, das Tor zu einem parallelen Universum geöffnet. Ein Naturphänomen besonderer Art, das von drei rücksichtslosen Glücksrittern für ihre dunklen Zwecke missbraucht werden soll, denn sie durchschreiten das Tor und erleben Fantastisches. Zum Beispiel finden sie die ultimative Waffe in der Form von Gedankenkontrolle. Ihr Anführer, Neb Reniets, fliegt mit einem erbeuteten Scout-Flugkörper durch das Tor zurück...

It was the championship for all of the middle schools in Richardson, Westwood warriors against lake highland wildcats with lake highlands leading seven to zero and west woods ball on the ten yard line. as I got ready to take the hand off my feet felt like water my head spinning in all directions a field of red jerseys coming toward me I brake the first and second tackles I get closer and closer to the goal line, when all of a sudden I feel a shooting pain up my leg and I hit the ground seeing nothing but white light.

047: Multiversum - Wilfried A. Hary: „Das Tor zu einem Jenseits der besonderen Art!“
Am 15. September 2063, um 4:37 Uhr, wollte ein Team mittels STAR GATE von Phönix zur Erde zurückspringen. Genau im Moment seiner Materialisation im Erd-Star-Gate bei Mechanics Inc. wurde dieses von Saboteuren des Konkurrenten Flibo gesprengt. Das erzeugte eine schreckliche Katastrophe – nämlich die Transmitter-Katastrophe (siehe Band 11). Vierundzwanzig Menschen sind von der Katastrophe betroffen. Sie sind seitdem spurlos verschwunden. Was ist aus ihnen geworden?
Mit betroffen: Das Randall-Team. Nach einigen Abenteuern befinden sie sich in der fernen Prupper-Galaxis. In der Todeszone am Rand dieser Galaxis treffen sie auf ein Mysterium der besonderen Art – und auf einen Computer, der sich erinnert und sie dabei über einige Details des Mysteriums aufklärt, mit dem sie beinahe tödlich konfrontiert worden waren...

"Beyond the Black River" is one of the original short stories about Conan the Cimmerian, written by American author Robert E. Howard. A young settler named Balthus encounters Conan in the forests slaying a forest devil. Accompanying the young man back to the Fort, Conan finds the body of a merchant ensorcelled by a Pictish wizard named Zogar Sag and slain by a swamp demon.
The Fort Tuscelan Commander, Valannus, is a desperate man and asks Conan to slay Zogar Sag before he raises the Picts against the whole borderlands. Taking a hand picked team of scouts and Balthus, Conan sets off stealthily in canoes. Balthus is captured and most of Conan's men slaughtered in an ambush.
Balthus and one of the Scouts are tied to stakes and the scout is sacrificed by Zogar Sag to one of his jungle creatures. Before Balthus can meet a similar fate, Conan sets the Pictish village on fire and the two flee into the woods. Conan tells Balthus of the cult of Jhebbal Sag, now forgotten by most. Once all living things worshipped him when men and beasts spoke the same language. Over time men and most beasts forgot his worship. Zogar Sag has not, however, and can control those few animals and creatures who also remember. And they are on Conan's trail now.
Conan is able to neutralize them using a symbol he once noticed, and the pair hurry to return to the Fort to warn them of the impending Pictish assault, but they are too late.
They then go to warn the settlers that the Picts have crossed the river and are raiding. They are joined by Slasher, a feral dog formerly owned by a settler who had been slain by the Picts. Balthus is sent on to warn settlers of the coming Pict raid, and Conan parts from him to warn a group of settler who had gone to gather salt. Balthus warns the settlers, and—accompanied by Slasher—makes a stand against the coming Pict raiders. Their sacrifice delays the Picts and give the settlers time to reach safety. Conan manages to warn the salt-gathering party in time, but finds he has been marked for death by the gods of darkness for misusing the symbol of Jhebbal Sag. In the end Conan triumphs, but the fort is lost.
The story ends in a tavern. A survivor tells Conan about the courageous act of Balthus and Slasher, and how their final stand had delayed the Picts just barely long enough for the settlers to reach safety. Upon hearing of the fight, Conan vowed to take the heads of ten Picts to pay for Balthus' sacrifice, along with seven heads for the dog, who was "a better warrior than many a man." [more]
