Echopraxia
Author: Peter Watts
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 142994806X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Prepare for a different kind of singularity in Peter Watts' Echopraxia, the follow-up to the Hugo-nominated novel Blindsight It's the eve of the twenty-second century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans and soldiers come with zombie switches that shut off self-awareness during combat. And it's all under surveillance by an alien presence that refuses to show itself. Daniel Bruks is a living fossil: a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational, a cat's-paw used by terrorists to kill thousands. Taking refuge in the Oregon desert, he's turned his back on a humanity that shatters into strange new subspecies with every heartbeat. But he awakens one night to find himself at the center of a storm that will turn all of history inside-out. Now he's trapped on a ship bound for the center of the solar system. To his left is a grief-stricken soldier, obsessed by whispered messages from a dead son. To his right is a pilot who hasn't yet found the man she's sworn to kill on sight. A vampire and its entourage of zombie bodyguards lurk in the shadows behind. And dead ahead, a handful of rapture-stricken monks takes them all to a meeting with something they will only call "The Angels of the Asteroids." Their pilgrimage brings Dan Bruks, the fossil man, face-to-face with the biggest evolutionary breakpoint since the origin of thought itself. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Waking Up in the Diaper Asylum: Valerie’s Extreme Diaper Punishment (Full-Length ABDL Novel)
Author: Nanny Chloe
Publisher: Nanny Chloe
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
When Valerie opened her bleary eyes after a night of heavy drinking, she did not expect to find herself in a mental hospital… She did not expect to find all her limbs restrained to the bed… And she definitely did not expect to find herself wearing a big, puffy, adult diaper! Of course, that was merely the start of Valerie’s endlessly humiliating, infantile treatment, now that she’d found herself legally committed to St. Joseph’s psychiatric ward. But despite her nightmarish circumstances, Valerie soon experiences a glimmer of hope when she’s greeted by a kindly hospital care worker who goes by the name Mrs. Godmother. Valerie is greatly comforted by the maternal woman, even despite the woman coaxing an immensely embarrassed Valerie into using her diaper… However, things take a turn for the worse when Mrs. Godmother seemingly disappears, and Valerie is discovered in her diaper by the hospital’s doctor on duty. Suddenly, Valerie’s story about being told to use her diaper by a mysterious, kindly old woman is met with unexpected skepticism, and Valerie soon realizes she’s being treated like she’s totally crazy. Before she knows it, Valerie is being diagnosed with big, scary words she doesn’t understand, and transferred to something called the ‘maximum-security psychiatric ward’ to treat her so-called ‘severe infantile regression disorder’. As Valerie finds herself descending further and further into the clutches of the diaper asylum’s dominating doctors and nurses—forced to use diapers 24/7, sleep strapped to a crib, and eat nothing but baby food—she becomes more and more desperate to find Mrs. Godmother and prove her sanity. And that shouldn’t be too hard, because Valerie knows she’s not actually a totally crazy, helplessly regressing, diaper-dependent adult-baby… Right? Right?? This full-length erotic ABDL novel will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. For mature readers only!

Tom F Dodd's second rivetting thriller: As mankind moves closer to a terrorist confrontation with a dirty nuclear device that has the destructive power of rendering a medium-sized city uninhabitable, clues emerge that propel the police on a hunt for an elusive jihadist.
