Category : Fiction

Pages : 262
Book Description
What the ABDL world has always needed is a Diapered Zombie Tale! At 11 years of age, Maxwell Roosevelt is destined for greatness. Born of affluent parents and attending an Ivy League prep school, Max has everything he needs for success, including a presidential name. But Max has a secret that has nothing to do with success. He fantasizes about being an ordinary kid, with ordinary parents who will give him the affection he craves. He wishes he could be someone else’s little kid running around in nappies. Yes, Max wants to wear nappies. When Max meets another boy at the public pool with a similar desire, they strike up an unlikely friendship. Robby is from a working-class home, attends public school, and has little ambition beyond playing video games and making fun of his teenage brother’s love angst. As a former bedwetter, he also has an interest in nappiesfor security reasons; and so, with a common interest, the two boys become friends over the summer. Then Halloween comes and their lives are interrupted by the Zombie Apocalypse. Max’s life takes a dramatic turn as he now fights to survive, aided by Robby’s brother’s teenage girlfriend, Cindy, and Cindy’s three lesbian teenage friends. With additional help from Cindy’s lesbian friend’s grandpa who is a survivalist…well, it gets complicated. It boils down to this: zombies won’t stop until they find what it is they’ve lost. Is it something as simple as a beloved childhood toy, or is it just brains they’re after? Max discovers the truth in a climactic standoff. The question is: is anyone left alive in the world to hear it? From the AB Discovery Zombie Collection!

Migrations and Dispersal of Marine Organisms
Author: M.B. Jones
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401722765
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
This book represents the Proceedings of the 37th European Marine Biology Symposium, held in Reykjavík, Iceland, 5-9 August 2002. The main themes of the symposium were Migrations and Dispersal of Marine Organisms. These themes are highly relevant today. There is widespread man-aided dispersal (e.g. by ballast water) of marine plants and animals, which may have substantial effects on the regions receiving new species. The new introductions may result in reduced diversity of plants and animals and may affect natural resources in the countries receiving toxic algae and other foreign elements. Studies of changes in distribution and dispersal of marine animals and plants are also highly relevant with reference to the changing climate taking place. The study of dispersal has recently gained new impetus with the discovery of the remarkable communities found on isolated hydrothermal vents and cold water seeps in the world's oceans.

Kingpin
Author: Kevin Poulsen
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307588696
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Former hacker Kevin Poulsen has, over the past decade, built a reputation as one of the top investigative reporters on the cybercrime beat. In Kingpin, he pours his unmatched access and expertise into book form for the first time, delivering a gripping cat-and-mouse narrative—and an unprecedented view into the twenty-first century’s signature form of organized crime. The word spread through the hacking underground like some unstoppable new virus: Someone—some brilliant, audacious crook—had just staged a hostile takeover of an online criminal network that siphoned billions of dollars from the US economy. The FBI rushed to launch an ambitious undercover operation aimed at tracking down this new kingpin; other agencies around the world deployed dozens of moles and double agents. Together, the cybercops lured numerous unsuspecting hackers into their clutches. . . . Yet at every turn, their main quarry displayed an uncanny ability to sniff out their snitches and see through their plots. The culprit they sought was the most unlikely of criminals: a brilliant programmer with a hippie ethic and a supervillain’s double identity. As prominent “white-hat” hacker Max “Vision” Butler, he was a celebrity throughout the programming world, even serving as a consultant to the FBI. But as the black-hat “Iceman,” he found in the world of data theft an irresistible opportunity to test his outsized abilities. He infiltrated thousands of computers around the country, sucking down millions of credit card numbers at will. He effortlessly hacked his fellow hackers, stealing their ill-gotten gains from under their noses. Together with a smooth-talking con artist, he ran a massive real-world crime ring. And for years, he did it all with seeming impunity, even as countless rivals ran afoul of police. Yet as he watched the fraudsters around him squabble, their ranks riddled with infiltrators, their methods inefficient, he began to see in their dysfunction the ultimate challenge: He would stage his coup and fix what was broken, run things as they should be run—even if it meant painting a bull’s-eye on his forehead. Through the story of this criminal’s remarkable rise, and of law enforcement’s quest to track him down, Kingpin lays bare the workings of a silent crime wave still affecting millions of Americans. In these pages, we are ushered into vast online-fraud supermarkets stocked with credit card numbers, counterfeit checks, hacked bank accounts, dead drops, and fake passports. We learn the workings of the numerous hacks—browser exploits, phishing attacks, Trojan horses, and much more—these fraudsters use to ply their trade, and trace the complex routes by which they turn stolen data into millions of dollars. And thanks to Poulsen’s remarkable access to both cops and criminals, we step inside the quiet, desperate arms race that law enforcement continues to fight with these scammers today. Ultimately, Kingpin is a journey into an underworld of startling scope and power, one in which ordinary American teenagers work hand in hand with murderous Russian mobsters and where a simple Wi-Fi connection can unleash a torrent of gold worth millions.

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
If you love science-fiction, like Doctor Who and Star Trek, but also enjoy coming-of-age tales like Heartstopper, this book is for you. Max Janus has made many mistakes since first coming to Earth during the peak of the Roman Empire to chase down alien criminals called Deceptors. Things take an unexpected twist when an accident whilst chasing a female Deceptor in 21st Century London results in him waking up inside the body of a 17-year-old boy. Despite Max transmuting inside a new host every 30 years or so, he has become set in his ways. He has relied on generations of the same family of doctors to be his next host as they reach thirty years of age, so finding himself having to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of a teenager struggling with exams, driving lessons, and his sexuality is sure to cause mayhem. When Bobby Morris sees an old man knocked over in Piccadilly Circus, he couldn’t have imagined how much his life was about to be disrupted. Suddenly finding he will be spending the next six months hosting a centuries-old alien until it can build a new human body shell is bad enough, but finding out that this alien’s past has put the lives of his friends and family at risk leaves him with little choice but to join in the battle. Sci-fi action and adventure trade places as Bobby’s alien body lodger is revealed to his friends, who agree to support him on the quest to uncover who that Deceptor is and why the police seem to be helping the Deceptor. Max and the Hidden Visitor appeals to anyone who loves science-fiction and coming-of-age stories in an action-packed, page-turning adventure for ages 12 to 99. It is book one in the series, but each book can be enjoyed on its own.

The Bloody Reign of Slayer
Author: Joel McIver
Publisher: Omnibus Press
ISBN: 0857120387
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
When the Los Angeles thrash metal band Slayer redefined the parameters of heavy music in 1986 with the horrific Reign In Blood album, few of their fans would have predicted that, nearly a quarter of a century later, their fame would be undimmed and their subject matter still as controversial as ever. Slayer's distinctive musical attack has guaranteed the band's residence at the peak of the extreme metal scene, with the unearthly lead Guitar wails of Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King, Dave Lombardo's world-class drums and tom Araya's unique vocals accompanying a fearless lyrical approach. However, Slayer have moved with the times: when their mosh pit anthems about serial killers and Satanism became outmoded, the band addressed fresh outrages such as religious terrorism, genocide and war, always accompanied by artwork that has achieved cult status in its own right. The controversy surrounding them has been endless, with authorities even accusing Slayer of a white supremacist agenda and Nazi sympathies - just one myth explored and refuted in The Bloody Reign Of Slayer, the first ever biography of this unique band. Joel McIver's expert biography traces the band's development, album by album, as well as exploring the headline-grabbing moments over Slayer's long and tumultuous career which have become an inseparable part of the cult which surrounds and defines them.
