Book Description
It's not enough to arrive - now they have to survive... Twenty-two have become twelve. Twelve humans who have landed on Spenser Island, so named for the digital who saved them from extinction. But now they have to save themselves. Faced with sea monsters demonstrating varying degrees of teeth and aggression, an inability to clone suitable breeds of domestic beasts to sustain them, and bodies that have aged exponentially in their three years since arrival, the twelve remaining humans have their work cut out for them. So who thought it was a good idea to add children to the mix? As the colony starts to expand, resentments rise and factions form. Decisions over who should be allowed the precious serum that grants immortality bring the humans to the point of open warfare. But they have forgotten the rest of the digitals, the bots who shattered their world. Those digitals have been waiting, biding their time, and now they are ready to destroy all organic life forever...

But this is impossible when eleven dumb kids all look up to her as their leader on this barren island that is now their home… and their immortality machine is broken.

There are 22 candidates. There are 12 seats. The last interstellar colony ship is down to its final batch of humans after the robots in charge unhelpfully deleted the rest.

A contemporary fantasy of mystery and death as American expats battle Japanese gods and monsters to retrieve an ancient artifact that can destroy the world. On Saturday afternoon, Nikki Delany thought, "George Wilson, in the kitchen, with a blender." By dinner, she had killed George and posted his gory murder to her blog. The next day, she put on her mourning clothes and went out to meet her best friend for lunch to discuss finding a replacement for her love interest. Nikki is a horror novelist. Her choice of career is dictated by an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that forces her to write stories of death and destruction. She can't control it, doesn't understand it, but can use it to make money anywhere in the world. Currently "anywhere" is in Japan, hiding from her mother who sees Nikki's OCD as proof she's mentally unstable. Nikki's fragile peace starts to fall apart when the police arrest her for the murder of an American expatriate. Someone killed him with a blender. Reality starts to unravel around Nikki. She's attacked by a raccoon in a business suit. After a series of blackouts, shes accompanied by a boy that no one else can see, a boy who claims to be a god. Is she really being pursued by Japanese myths¾or is she simply going insane? What Nikki does know for sure is that the bodies are piling up, her mother has arrived in Japan to lock her up for the rest of her life¾and her novels always end with everyone dead. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 657

Dryden: Selected Poems is drawn from Paul Hammond and David Hopkins's remarkable five-volume The Poems of John Dryden, and includes a generous selection of his most important work.
