In Guild War, the elvin assassin Lusiphur has been captured by the Eye of the Lins (a rival guild run by police lieutenant Vido), whose sole purpose is to exterminate every last Sanctuary member. Struggling to stay alive, Lusiphur manages to escape and return to Sanctuary in time to help stage a preemptive strike on the vigilante organization. The climactic result is a definitively chaotic, bloody battle on the streets of Mandratha. In Strange Days, Lusiphur's ex-wife Hyena returns to wreak havoc on the rogue elf's already-inextricable life. Plus, the indestructible E'jja finally tracks down Lusiphur, whom the E'jja has sworn to kill, causing Sanctuary leaders Morachi and Talon to rethink Lusiphur's membership. Unfortunately, the only way to retire from Sanctuary is to die or be killed. All this, as well as the single most shocking event in Poison Elves history, makes volume 6 an essential tome." -- Fantasy genre. -- Call no.: PN6728.P575H36 2000 ----------------------------------------------------- Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon 1948 / Milton Caniff. -- Centerville, OH : Checker Book Publishing Group, 2003. -- 59 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. -- Contents: Chapter 01: Medical Sabotage ; Chapter 02: The Nine Maid ; Chapter 03: Operation Convoy ; Chapter 04: Plantation Sabotage ; Chapter 05: Puppy Love. -- Adventure story genre. -- Call no.: PN6728.S76C472 2003 ----------------------------------------------------- Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon 1949 / Milton Caniff. -- Miamisburg, OH : Checker Book Publishing Group, 2004. -- 143 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. -- Contents: Chapter 01: Operation Snowflower ; Chapter 02: Dragonflies ; Chapter 03: Teammates. -- Adventure story genre. -- Call no.: PN6728.S76C473 2004 ----------------------------------------------------- Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon 1952 / Milton Caniff. -- Miamisburg, Ohio : Checker Book Publishing Group, 2007. -- 153 p. ; ill. ; 26 cm. -- Contents: Crisis on campus ; Operation stray ; Deep woods. -- Adventure story genre. -- Call no.: PN6728.S76C476 2007 ----------------------------------------------------- The Jack Kirby Omnibus.
