Book Description
THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN After years of the deadly Affliction, those who remain-the surviving humans and the new generation of animal-hybrid children-are searching for answers. And one place in all the world seems to have them: Northern Alaska. It was here, in this faraway, frozen wilderness that the Affliction first took root, before eventually spreading its devastation throughout the globe. Gus, Jepperd and their friends are traveling north to the remote research outpost where Gus was born, in the hope that understanding the plague’s source will lead to a cure. What power was unleashed in the frozen tundra? Can it be stopped? But even if the survivors reach their goal, there might not be anything left of humanity to save… Gus and Jepperd’s postapocalyptic journey comes to a heart-stopping, heartbreaking conclusion in this final deluxe hardcover, written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire (DESCENDER, GREEN ARROW) with additional art by Matt Kindt (MIND MGMT). SWEET TOOTH: THE DELUXE EDITION BOOK THREE collects issues 26-40 as well as never-before-seen sketches and an interview with the author and Damon Lindelof (co-creator of LOST and THE LEFTOVERS).

HMS Ganges Days
Author: Peter Broadbent
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 1909183016
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
When Peter Broadbent entered HMS Ganges, the toughest training establishment for young recruits to the Royal Navy, he was a naive 15-year-old Yorkshire schoolboy, entranced with the idea of seeing the world, proud of his drainpipe trousers and DA hairstyle, and eager to meet girls. In other words, he was a ‘Nozzer' - a raw and unsuspecting recruit. When he emerged 386 days later it was as a prospective ‘Dabtoe', not quite a fully trained Seaman, but well on the way. This funny and vivid memoir accurately captures what it was like to climb the mast, have your kit trashed, learn to swear, develop a taste for Kye and Stickies, double around the parade-ground at dead of night in your pyjamas, endlessly run up and down Laundry Hill ... and to do it all and much more while being continually barracked by a demanding Petty Officer Instructor. Along the way, Peter relished learning the Navy lingo and how to sail. He consumed platefuls of Cheese Ush, won a boxing certificate, discovered a secret stash of Playboy magazines, smoked thousands of cigarettes, and convinced girls back home that his shorn hair was in fact the very latest fashion ‘down south’.
