It's the 22nd century. Humanity has taken its first steps into the galaxy, and we've found ourselves in a vast playground of alien races and cultures. As the newest players on the universal stage, though, we're at the bottom of the food chain. Welcome back to the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight and die for money separates humans from the majority of the other races. While some of the stories deal with mercenaries, others introduce listeners to the other guilds, organizations, and races that make up the landscape of the Four Horsemen universe.

Edited by best-selling authors and universe creators Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy, Tales from the Lyon’s Den includes 18 all-new stories in the Four Horsemen universe by a variety of best-selling authors - and some you may not have heard of...yet.

The rest of the world is not far behind as volcano after volcano erupts, spewing not just magma and hot ash, but monsters of impossible size out onto the battered and broken surface. These monsters are hellbent on getting to North America to do battle with the behemoth that has broken free of the Yellowstone super volcano. A battle that could tear the Earth apart. It is now up to Adrianna VanderVoort, an unknown entity that has been given control of all human interests on the planet, to figure out how to keep the world from complete destruction.

A bombshell dropped. A war on the horizon. The entire universe in peril. And Roak is pretty much done with it all. Except he doesn't get to be done. He has one more hunt left. A hunt to find and finally kill Father. If Roak survives the galactic war he's about to start. Calling on every alliance and tenuous relationship he has, Roak has to scrape together enough forces to take on a galaxy's worth of warships. He doesn't have an eight-million-gods-damn chance in all the hells, but that's never stopped Roak before!

The best of the Fleet Intelligence Service's elite Special Service Division, Denman Sno will need to use his skills and resources to stop the galaxy from plunging into another War with the alien menace known as the Skrang Alliance. Sno's assignment: protect and deliver Pol Hammon, the galaxy's greatest dark tech hacker, to Galactic Fleet headquarters. Hammon is in possession of new technology that can and will change the landscape of galactic life. The Galactic Fleet will do anything to keep that technology out of the hands of the Skrang Alliance even if it means sacrificing their best agent.

Razer Station is one of the most notorious stations in the galaxy. Criminals, con artists, freaks, rebels, junkies, and smugglers inhabit the space station that floats at the outer edge of civilization. It's Roak's kind of place. But, Roak isn't on Razer for a little R&R; he's there on a job. For Roak, it should be an easy job- track down an old tech that has been targeted by several corporations and deliver the tech to the corporations.

A planet gone. A madbeing on the loose. An uneasy alliance made. A galaxy in chaos. Roak is once again on the hunt for the dark tech known as Pol Hammon. From the tavern planet of Xippee to the desert planet known as Outpost Hell, Roak must race across the galaxy to find his prey, all while being pursued and attacked by the entity known as Father.

Robbed of his chits and betrayed by one of his oldest contacts, Roak is now on a rampage across the galaxy to hunt the duplicitous scumbag down and exact some serious payback. Bishop is on the run and Roak is right behind him. System by system, planet by planet, contact by contact, Roak leaves no rock unturned and no lead unchecked. He beats answers out of those who dare help Bishop. He kills those who refuse to answer. Roak is waging war on the criminal grapevine and no one is safe from his wrath.

Roak has a plan. It is not a good plan. It is not an easy plan. But it is a plan. And with a crew he doesn't want, a nemesis that is always one step ahead, and the power of the Galactic Fleet about to come down on him with all its might, Roak is going to need every ounce of his experience and skill as the galaxy's greatest and deadliest bounty hunter to execute the plan. If his infinite enemies don't execute him first!

Joe Laribeau is now Salvage Merc One. It's a position way above his days of being a Galactic Fleet Marine. Endless resources, powers and abilities that rivaled the Eight Million Gods, and the full resources of the Salvage Merc Corps behind him. It's the life. A lonely life. But the artifact that had chosen him to be Salvage Merc One is about to change all of that and put him to a true test of his abilities. A quest is set before him. Impossible monsters, nightmares turned reality, his own greatest fears come to life, Joe is about to face the greatest mission of his life.

Jonny Nebula was the greatest heavy-grav fighter to ever compete in the Orbs. Galactic Champion for two decades running, no one could touch his skill. Until his final, brutal fight when his reign came to a bloody, deadly end. But, as Roak is about to find out, there’s always an encore.

Joseph Laribeau was born to be a Marine in the Galactic Fleet. But when the War ended and Joe found himself medically discharged, he never thought he’d find his way again. Except into a bottle of wubloov.

There are thousands of bounty hunters across the galaxy. Solid professionals that take jobs based on the credits the bounties afford. They follow the letter of the law so they can maximize those credits. Licensed, bonded, legal. Then there's Roak. Deadly, unstoppable, invisible. No criminal or military records.

The human race is about to be without a home, Earth having been turned into a toxic wasteland by decades of war and centuries of neglect. Now united and desperate to put down new roots, humanity sets off across the galaxy. But, the galaxy isn't as hospitable as people would like. Humanity needs a miracle to survive against the first alien race they encounter. Good thing they have that miracle in the form of a team of 30-foot human-piloted battle robots known as the Mech Corps!

Salvage System is a beacon of hope, and a number of other races continue looking toward it as an inspiration for how to live and govern themselves, and - in some cases - for assistance in defending themselves and throwing off oppressive regimes. But the galaxy is a big place, and many of the races in it aren’t friendly. Would these forces like to take over Salvage System and acquire its resources? Absolutely.

Includes Z-Burbia 4: Cannibal Road, Z-Burbia 5: The Bleeding Heartland, and Z-Burbia 6: Rocky Mountain Die.

The American Midwest was a bucolic landscape that didn’t quite adjust to the zombie apocalypse. Instead of open arms and welcoming faces, there are now open mouths and ravenous Zs. The blue collar drive to work hard has become a red-mouthed hunger for flesh. Jace Stanford, his family, and the rag tag bunch of Whispering Pines survivors, private military contractors, laborers, and former (hopefully?) cannibals now must face the vast, exposed space of America’s Heartland in order to get to a possible sanctuary in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Boulder, Colorado.

Forced out of Asheville, Jace Stanford’s family, along with a convoy of suburbanites, misfits, criminals, and soldiers, must battle their way through the I-40 corridor of Eastern Tennessee. When they are separated from their friends and allies in Knoxville, the Stanfords have to rely on their skills as post-apocalyptic survivors to fight off the Zs, insane Vols fans, homicidal sorority girls, and the most deadly of the post-apocalyptic threats - cannibal gangs!

With the plains to their backs, Jace Stanford and crew are just steps from their destination: the Stronghold of Boulder, CO. All they have to do is battle the mega-powerful, corporate/political/military entity that is the Consortium, survive the brainwashed killing machines that call themselves the Sisters, and deal with a mad scientist hell bent on making life really, really hard for everyone because he’s just a f*ing jerk.
