Set, Thulsa's evil god, calls out to him, promising him vengeance if Doom will free his god from an ancient prison. You can be sure Thulsa is up to the task, and when Set is free, all hell breaks loose in Sogaria. But what about the mysterious plans Set is hiding from Thulsa Doom? And what about Red Sonja? She's not giving up her kingdom without a fight! QUEEN SONJA VOL 5: ASCENDANCY - Ever since she took the throne of Sogoria, Sonja's journey has been leading to something greater still. Her small kingdom threw off the shackles of an empire only to see terrorism, revolt, and finally the brutality of Thulsa Doom. Starved, shocked, and near desperation, Sonja's people now openly revolt against her rule. She turns to the only wealthy Baron to levy taxes and feed the people, but he has a better idea - attack the empire! Open assault on the Emoran Empire is suicide, but to Sonja war is a form of art. QUEEN SONJA VOL. 6: HEAVY IS THE CROWN- Heavy sits the crown of Emora, as Empress Sonja is a target for plots, schemes, and assassinations. Her new enemy is within her walls, wears no flag, and knows no mercy. How can she rule when the Wizard Koliostri and his suicidal cult of fanatical worshippers terrorize her people? By sending her captains Xander and Melea to infiltrate the cult, Sonja may have signed their death warrants. There is only one way for this to end - in fire and blood! Collecting issues 16 thru 35

A new way of measuring the health of a political system: by examining the health of its landscapes and ecosystemsEast Germany, its economy, and its society were in decline long before the country’s political collapse in the late 1980s. The clues were there in the natural landscape, Arvid Nelson argues in this groundbreaking book, but policy analysts were blind to them. Had they noted the record of the leadership’s values and goals manifest in the landscape, they wouldn’t have hailed East Germany as a Marxist-Leninist success story. Nelson sets East German history within the context of the landscape history of two centuries to underscore how forest and ecosystem change offered a reliable barometer to the health and stability of the political system that governed them.Cold War Ecology records how East German leaders’ indifference to human rights and their disregard for the landscape affected the rural economy, forests, and population. This lesson from history suggests new ways of thinking about the health of ecosystems and landscapes, Nelson shows, and he proposes assessing the stability of modern political systems based on the environment’s system qualities rather than on political leaders’ goals and beliefs.
