Pages : 462
Book Description
For the mercenary group employed by the city of Jenaut, Demons seem to remain as the only great threat they would ever see. Five years and the burden of life begin to set and stress bonds. Yet, a lone power sits upon the horizon and grows ever increasingly hostile towards them. A tense anger carried on the air in whispers and remains on the tips of tongues. A constricting and fearful power, it seems the mercenaries stand powerless before it. Aid comes from places unexpected and emerges from shadows of nightmares only to disappear when they turn. Shortly, they begin to understand that Sylsteruin, their world, contains more frightening entities than they ever could dream. One such entity, watching with a growing hunger, begins to question the very foundations the Gods set forth as the world tips closer to war between Summoners, heralds of Gods. Will they find themselves lost in the maws of creatures mad? Will they change the words as Fate reads them? She cannot know, no one can know.

Pages : 282
Book Description
When you’re in deep water, go deeper. There’s got to be a bottom down there, right? Right? Like clockwork, every heroic team finds out that their boss is the real villain. Fortunately for Steamfitter & Company, Cora was already a villain, so she never had any illusions. Naturally, she has a plan. Many questions remain unanswered. Who is Minister Hoover with? What are his goals? How does he fit into the web of intrigue? Answering these questions will take expert skullduggery, careful planning, and the destruction of an entire city, maybe even a civilization. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Trifolia is caught in a war between two empires, and sooner, rather than later, it will become the battleground, so you can’t really blame Minister Hoover for fighting unfair, right? Finally, Arcadia’s mother’s been off-stage for too long. It’s only a matter of time before she shows up and sews her own unique brand of chaos, which is no mean feat considering the chaos that this group already sews. Exactly what sort of mayhem will she deliver? Whatever it is, it’s bound to complicate their spectacular trainwreck.

Mechademia 4
Author: Frenchy Lunning
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 145294265X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
The themes of war and time are intertwined in unique ways in Japanese culture, freighted as that nation is with the multiple legacies of World War II: the country’s militarization, its victories and defeats, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the uneasy pacifism imposed by the victors. Delving into topics ranging from the production of wartime propaganda to the multimedia adaptations of romance narrative, contributors to the fourth volume in the Mechademia series address the political, cultural, and technological continuum between war and the everyday time of orderly social productivity that is reflected, confronted, and changed in manga, anime, and other forms of Japanese popular culture. Grouped thematically, the essays in this volume explore the relationship between national sovereignty and war (from the militarization of children as critically exposed in Grave of the Fireflies to reworkings of Japanese patriotism in The Place Promised in Our Early Days), the intersection of war and the technologies of social control (as observed in the films of Oshii Mamoru and the apocalyptic vision of Neon Genesis Evangelion), history and memory (as in manga artists working through the trauma of Japan’s defeat in World War II and the new modalities of storytelling represented by Final Fantasy X), and the renewal and hybridization of militaristic genres as a means of subverting conventions (in Yamada Futaro’s ninja fiction and Miuchi Suzue’s girl knight manga). Contributors: Brent Allison; Mark Anderson; Christopher Bolton, Williams College; Martha Cornog; Marc Driscoll, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Angela Drummond-Mathews, Paul Quinn College; Michael Fisch; Michael Dylan Foster, Indiana U; Wendy Goldberg; Marc Hairston, U of Texas, Dallas; Charles Shiro Inouye, Tufts University; Rei Okamoto Inouye, Northeastern U; Paul Jackson; Seth Jacobowitz, San Francisco State U; Thomas Lamarre, McGill U; Tom Looser, New York U; Sheng-mei Ma, Michigan State U; Christine Marran, U of Minnesota; Zilia Papp, Hosei U, Tokyo; Marco Pellitteri; Timothy Perper; Yoji Sakate; Chinami Sango; Deborah Scally; Deborah Shamoon, U of Notre Dame; Manami Shima; Rebecca Suter, U of Sydney; Takayuki Tatsumi, Keio U, Tokyo; Christophe Thouny; Gavin Walker; Dennis Washburn, Dartmouth College; Teresa M.

At the same time, his own cadre of villains seek to usurp his throne, so it’s anybody’s guess as to who betrays who. There’s likely to be a gigantic finale where our heroes fight an equally giant boss. They might even save the world, but the odds are against them.
