The Call of the Cthulhu is a short story by the American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, in February 1928. The narrator, Francis Wayland Thurston, recounts his discovery of notes left behind by his grand-uncle, Brown University linguistic professor George Gammell Angell after his death in the winter of 1926–27. Among the notes is a small bas-relief sculpture of a scaly creature which yields "simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature." The sculptor, a Rhode Island art student named Henry Anthony Wilcox, based the work on delirious dreams of "great Cyclopean cities of titan blocks and sky-flung monoliths." Frequent references to Cthulhu and R'lyeh are found in Wilcox's papers. Angell also discovers reports of mass hysteria around the world. More notes discuss a 1908 meeting of an archeological society in which New Orleans police official John Raymond Legrasse asks attendees to identify a statuette of unidentifiable greenish-black stone resembling Wilcox's sculpture. It is then revealed that the previous year, Legrasse and a party of policemen found several murdered women & children being used in a ritual by a cult, in a shunned region of a Louisiana swamp. After killing five of the cultists and arresting 47 others, Legrasse learns that they worship the "Great Old Ones" and await the return of a monstrous being called Cthulhu. The prisoners identify the statuette as "great Cthulhu." One of the academics present at the meeting, Princeton professor William Channing Webb, describes a group of "Esquimaux" with similar beliefs and fetishes. Thurston discovers a 1925 article from an Australian newspaper which reports the discovery of a derelict ship, the Emma, of which second mate Gustaf Johansen is the sole survivor. Johansen reports that the Emma was attacked by a heavily armed yacht called the Alert.

A daring fraud makes one man a titan, and brings a nation to its knees. The son of a failing undertaker, Alves Reis learned early on that death comes quickly and a man must make his fortune while he can. In 1916, Reis left Portugal for Angola, where the hardships of colonial life dashed his dream of easy riches. In desperate straits, Alves discovers his true talent: forgery. With an unerring hand, Alves begins to counterfeit. He falsifies diplomas, government documents, currency, and countless checks on his way to perpetrating one of the greatest frauds of the twentieth century. Inspired by the true story of a master swindler, Gifford brings to life a breathtaking international scam. Before Bernie Madoff, before Frank Abagnale, there was Alves Reis - a forger with talent, vision, and an uncompromising drive to succeed, no matter what man, bank, or nation stood in his way. Review Quote: "Explodes with continent-spanning financial intrigue and irresistible romance." - Paul Erdman, author of The Billion Dollar Sure Thing Biographical note: Thomas Gifford (1937 - 2000) was a bestselling author of thriller novels.

The Wind Chill Factor was one of several books Gifford set in and around Minneapolis. Gifford won an Edgar Award nomination for The Cavanaugh Quest (1976).

Kaiser Friedrich IV. befindet sich in der Gewalt des Xer, dem Oberkommandierenden der vegalischen Streitkräfte im Sol-System. Auf die Frage, wo sich der Hauptstützpunkt der Nordischen Raumflotte befindet, nennt Friedrich die Koordinaten der letzten beiden vom CFR gehaltenen Stützpunkte auf dem Saturnmond Titan. Der Xer bricht mit einer gewaltigen Flotte auf, um das vermeintliche Zentrum der Schwarzen Macht auszuschalten. Der Vizekaiser entsendet ebenfalls einen Teil seiner Flotte zum Titan, um die Finte perfekt zu machen. Dabei riskiert er allerdings einen Angriff der bei Terra verbliebenen vegalischen Flotte auf den nun weitgehend von Raumstreitkräften entblößten Nordischen Bund. Es beginnt eine Phase der Täuschung, Gegentäuschung und der epischen Schlachten. Ein Kommandounternehmen unter General Pio Filippani-Ronconi, ausgestattet mit den neuesten Technologien, macht sich derweil auf, den Kaiser und dessen Frau aus der vegalischen Basis bei Kansas City zu befreien. Sein Vorstoß entscheidet das Schicksal des Kaisers.

Im November 1952 ist der kalte Krieg zwischen den USA und dem Nordischen Bund nichts weiter als ein gigantisches Täuschungsmanöver, um unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit Ressourcen zur Bekämpfung der bald auf der Erde eintreffenden Vegalier bereitstellen zu können. In Wirklichkeit sind sowohl die USA als auch die in Sibirien scheinbar noch kämpfenden Sowjets Vasallen des Deutschen Kaisers. Die einzige bislang noch nicht durch die kaiserlichen Truppen endgültig besiegte Militärmacht im Sonnensystem ist der CFR, der unter seinem Präsidenten Edward Mandell House auf Rache für die zahlreichen Niederlagen sinnt, die ihm von der Kastrup beigebracht wurden. Im letzten verbliebenen CFR-Stützpunkt auf dem Saturnmond Titan reift ein teuflischer Plan heran, der den Nordischen Bund in seinen Grundfesten erschüttern soll.
