Serie Secred World Chronicle

Antologi med noveller baserade på MMORPG:et City of Heroes, om superhjältar (eller metamänniskor, som de också kallas) och en invasion av en styrka med retrofuturistiska konnotationer till hitlertiden. Bidrag av bland andra Mercedes Lackey.

Suddenly, all world governments were simultaneously attacked by soldiers in giant mecha robotic suits with the swastika symbol of the Third Reich on their metal arms. If these were Nazis, where had they been hiding since the end of World War II? And where had they gotten armor and weapons far in advance of anything on the planet? Weapons against which even the metahuman heroes seemed to be helpless...
