Book Description
Have you ever seen someone facing a slow death and yet you can do nothing? Or the trade-off is so high its better to die? Enitan and Ikudoro face this plight in Wilson's terrifying novel 'Siege of Fate: A Sci-Fi Dystopia'. In a near-future Africa, superstitions have become medical facts. Ikudoro is dying and even the best doctors cannot salvage her. Dr. Jason Crane comes up with a bizarre solution. The doctor claims he can upload a dying person’s mind into a durable, healthy robotic body thus keeping her alive. Catch is the doctor won't explain how the process works. Additionally, Ikudoro must die a horrible death for the transformation to occur. That is, she must be mutilated and devoured by a series of automated spinning blades and interlocking teeth before her consciousness can be uploaded into the robot! What will Enitan and Ikudoro eventually do? Siege of Fate is playfully serious, dancing naked with thick darkness while relentlessly satirizing pseudoscience and faith-based medicine. It will make you laugh at its absurdity, and leave you wondering about the location of your own consciousness. "In Siege of fate, Wilson writes intelligently and beautifully of post apocalypse, love, hermaphrodites, and robots. It is thought-provoking, perfectly paced, uniformly delightful, compassionate. Wilson has remarkable gifts." -Helon Habila ( Award winner of Caine prize for African writing) "This is one of the quirkiest and engaging stories that I have ever read in a long time." -Lily Lamb, Amazon best-seller of Nameless.

Book Description
In The Crane's Walk, Jeremy Barris seeks to show that we can conceive and live with a pluralism of standpoints with conflicting standards for truth--with the truth of each being entirely unaffected by the truth of the others. He argues that Plato's work expresses this kind of pluralism, and that this pluralism is important in its own right, whether or not we agree about what Plato's standpoint is. The longest tradition of Plato scholarship identifies crucial faults in Plato's theory of Ideas. Barris argues that Plato deliberately displayed those faults, because he wanted to demonstrate that basic kinds of error or illogic have dimensions that are crucial to the establishing of truth. These dimensions legitimate a paradoxical coordination of logically incompatible conceptions of truth. Connecting this idea with emerging currents of Plato scholarship, he emphasizes, in addition to the dialogues' arguments, the importance of their nonargumentative features, including drama, myths, fictions, anecdotes, and humor. These unanalyzed nonargumentative features function rigorously, as a lever with which to examine the enterprise of rational argument itself, without presupposing its standards or illegitimately assimilating any position to the standards of another. Today, communities are torn apart by conflicts within and between a host of different pluralist and absolutist commitments. The possibility developed in this book-a coordination of absolute and relative truth that allows an understanding of some relativist and some absolutist positions as being fully legitimate and as capable of existing in a relation to their opposites-may contribute to perspectives for resolving these conflicts.

Book Description
The latest pulse-pounding thriller from Edgar and Barry Award finalist Mike Lawson starring his beloved Washington DC “troubleshooter” Joe DeMarco. Carson Newman doesn’t think of himself as a gangster. He doesn’t have a consigliere or operate out of the back room of a bar. No, Carson’s a different sort of gangster, a billionaire Boston real estate developer, who only breaks the law when necessary—and he doesn't usually get his hands dirty. Joe DeMarco, on the other hand, is paid to get his hands dirty. So, when John Mahoney, the former Speaker of the House, calls, DeMarco knows it’s time to get to work. Brian Lewis, an intern who worked for Mahoney, has been found dead, seemingly from a drug overdose. But Brian didn’t seem like a drug user, and even more concerning, he seemed to be on the cusp of releasing a report that identified a group of politicians who had taken bribes. Brian’s mom is convinced that Brian was murdered because of what he’d learned, and it doesn’t take long for DeMarco to come to a similar conclusion. A conclusion that points to Carson Newman's empire. In a city full of shadowy agreements and duplicitous deals, DeMarco will soon learn that to get to the bottom of Brian’s death, he’ll have to look at people perched the very top of the world.
