The Variant Effect: MADHOUSE 3
Author: G. Wells Taylor
Publisher: G. Wells Taylor
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
THE VARIANT SQUAD barely had time to get back on its feet before the screaming started. Someone was getting skinned alive, and they knew it. But many of their comrades have just fallen to their deaths, and others are still missing, so Captain Beachboy knows that answering the cry for help would be suicide. Skin Eater packs are still hunting on the levels above and below them, and it’s only a matter of time before their ugly craving returns and they attack again. And that’s not the end of it. A murderous Kill Squad sent by an unknown enemy must have followed them underground. It has the Lazarus team’s innocent blood on its hands, and Beachboy suspects the unknown assassins are committed to spilling 9-Squad’s too. And the old myths about the basement are proving true. Something with an appetite for pain is haunting the bunker complex and feeds its hunger through the Biter packs. It has also poisoned the place with the Varion molecule that causes the lethal new form of the Variant Effect, forcing the squad to remain sealed in their bag-suits. And they’re running out of air. Variant Squad veteran Joe Borland knows that there are forces within the squad that might not want to win the battle underground, and would prefer leaving his bagged-comrades buried with the incriminating evidence they have found. So he’ll have to pick a side when his life’s on the line. In the meantime he and Beachboy take the squad survivors on a desperate search for a rumored escape tunnel while dark forces gather on all sides, and a secret clock winds down to doomsday and the final Variant Squad protocol of Ziploc, Gas and BURN! Explore the MADHOUSE to the END with BURN, third stage in the final chapters of The Variant Effect Series.

'80s Action Movies on the Cheap
Author: Daniel R. Budnik
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476626871
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
The 1980s was the decade when the action film as it's now known came into being. Nonstop, big-budget excitement became the standard as epic adventures like Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Road Warrior set the tone for the summer blockbusters of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris. Homages (and ripoffs) made with lesser budgets followed every hit, especially with the advent of direct-to-video releases. Providing detailed commentary on 284 films, this book explores the excitement, audacity and sheer weirdness of '80s low budget action cinema, from the American Ninja series to dime-a-dozen barbarian pictures to such bargain-basement productions as The Courier of Death, Kill Squad and Samurai Cop.

Civilizations
Author: Wallace Horta
Publisher: Talentos da Literatura Brasileira
ISBN: 6555610204
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
The first book in the Civilizations Trilogy broke new ground by introducing the protagonists of a civilization like never before. Prepare yourself for a completely new, completely original First Contact. Astronauts Susan and Michael approach an unidentified space object, which developed a close-to-the-Sun trajectory and then moved itself to the far side of our Moon. Upon making contact, Susan goes through a series of relevant events from another planet, crossing from one era to another in company of Michael, who was acting strangely, as if he was part of all of that. Centuries later, Susan no longer feels like a foreigner among that people. In company of Electrons and aboard the Eclipsed Star, she crosses the colossal Continuum Warpers, playing a role in shaping the fate of the galaxy. That is what has happened to Fount, and it is done that way because only in the clarity of whole truth exists the possibility of accepting each other within the limits of what each civilization truly can be.

Hitler's Death Squads
Author: Helmut Langerbein
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 9781585442850
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
"After the war, the German government investigated 1,770 former Einsatzgruppen members and brought 136 of these men to trial. Helmut Langerbein has systematically examined the trial evidence in search of characteristics shared by these mass murderers. Using a much broader data base than earlier studies, Langerbein identifies a number of factors that could explain their actions, illustrating each with a particular person or group of officers." "Given the extent of its data, its detailed analysis and its careful conclusions, Hitler's Death Squads: The Logic of Mass Murder will push historians and psychologists toward a reappraisal of the Nazi killing machine, the behavior of the men behind the battle lines, and the overwhelming power of circumstances."--Jacket.

Tool of War
Author: Paolo Bacigalupi
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 0316220825
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Set in a dark future devastated by climate change, Tool of War is the third book in a major adventure series by a bestselling and award-winning science fiction author and starring the most provocative character from the acclaimed novels Ship Breaker and The Drowned Cities. In this gripping, eerily prescient sci-fi thriller that Kirkus described as "masterful," Tool--a half-man/half-beast designed for combat--proves himself capable of so much more than his creators had ever dreamed. He has gone rogue from his pack of bioengineered "augments" and emerged a victorious leader of a pack of human soldier boys. But he is hunted relentlessly by someone determined to destroy him, who knows an alarming secret: Tool has found the way to resist his genetically ingrained impulses of submission and loyalty toward his masters... The time is coming when Tool will embark on an all-out war against those who have enslaved him. From one of science fiction's undisputed masters comes a riveting and all-too-timely page-turner that explores the intricate relationships connecting hunter and prey, master and enslaved, human and monster. "Suzanne Collins may have put dystopian literature on the YA map with 'The Hunger Games'...but Bacigalupi is one of the genre's masters, employing inventively terrifying details in equally imaginative story lines." --Los Angeles Times
