ReDeus

Divine Tales

2012

The gods have returned. All of them! The change promised by the ending of the Mayan Calendar in 2012 manifested itself in an unexpected manner. Every pantheon of gods and goddesses, from every belief the world over, has returned ... changing the world forever. As the pantheons settle into their ancestral lands, they vie for worshippers, gaining or losing power along the way. They find the world of man a bewildering, crazy quilt, and each wishes to remake their lands in their own image. Come and meet some of the inhabitants of this strangely familiar world in eleven new tales that explore what it means to worship in this new reality. A Knight Templar hunting mysteries. A rookie pitcher with a unique belief system. A wounded solider returned to battle by a goddess. A reporter who isn’t sure what to believe. A homicide detective on the Manhattan beat. A man out to kill the gods. A single father trying to survive in a world without Santa Claus. And many more! Chronicling this new tomorrow are Dave Galanter, Allyn Gibson, Phil Giunta, Robert Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg, William Leisner, Scott Pearson, Aaron Rosenberg, Lawrence M. Schoen, Dayton Ward, and Steven H. Wilson. Join them and discover a world where everything old is new again—even the gods themselves.

ReDeus

Beyond Borders

2013

In ReDeus: Divine Tales, the gods returned to us. All of them. Now, in ReDeus: Beyond Borders, see just what that means for the nations of the world—and the people living in them. Everything has not necessarily turned out for the best, especially in some lands. Nor is it all bad. But with so many gods vying for worship, there’s some interesting jockeying going on, for lands and for people. It’s a vastly different world the gods have returned to, and their efforts to re-assert themselves have forced mortals into a complicated, ever-changing struggle to live and provide for their families. Returning to ReDeus alongside series creators Robert Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg, and Aaron Rosenberg are Phil Giunta, William Leisner, Scott Pearson, Lawrence M. Schoen, and Steven H. Wilson. Joining us for the first time are Lorraine Anderson, Kelly Meding, Steve Lyons, David McDonald, and Janna Silverstein. All told, there are thirteen brand-new tales of what happens when the gods go . . . beyond borders.

ReDeus

Native Lands

2013

One nation under God...no more! With the return of the old gods, the modern world came to a virtual standstill. Around the planet, deities whose names had no more meaning than as characters out of myth and history were suddenly revealed to be real...and once again demanded to be worshipped by the people of Earth. And, in an instant, the borders set by man were erased and the world reshaped to conform to their divine plans. But what of North America? When last its native gods walked the world, their people occupied the lands from the Alaskan coast through the Gulf of Mexico. But war, disease, and colonization severely reduced the tribes’ numbers, and their presence. Now, with the number of Native American worshippers significantly diminished—and drastically outnumbered—the Spirit Chief, Coyote, Raven, and the rest of that proud pantheon are desperate to regain and then maintain their hold over so vast a territory. But at what cost to the balance of divine power...and to the hundreds of millions of non-Native peoples who stand in their way? This third volume of the critically acclaimed ReDeus series features fifteen brand-new tales of a distinctly American nature by Lorraine Anderson, Kevin Dilmore, David Galanter, David R. George III, Robert Greenberger, Robert T. Jeschonek, Paul Kupperberg, William Leisner, Steven Lyons, David McDonald, Scott Pearson, Aaron Rosenberg, Lawrence M. Schoen, Lois Spangler, and Steven H. Wilson.
