Book Description
Earth, 2516 A.D. The Unified Authority spread human colonies across the Milky Way, keeping strict order with a powerful military made up almost entirely of clones. But when an alien invasion proved too much even for the clones, they alone were blamed for the defeat. Clone soldier Lt. Wayson Harris was born and bred to fight for the U.A. He also possesses a unique independence and love of battle. But after the debacle of the Avatari invasion, he and his brethren have been exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy where the U.A. intended to use them as targets for live-fire training exercises. Unfortunately for the Unified Authority, the clones they created and trained to fight have founded their own empire. Now, Harris will unleash his rage against the might of the U.A. fleet, leading an army with everything to fight for--and one thing to die for: Revenge.

Saved
Author: Jack Falla
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 0312368267
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Veteran Boston goaltender Jean Pierre Savard sees stardom and the money it brings as fate’s make-up call for a life in which he lost his father, his wife, and most of his self confidence for anything not involving saves or sex. Now late in his career, Savard and his teammate and best friend, Cam Carter, are trying to fulfill their boyhood dreams of winning a Stanley Cup before they retire. A surprise late-season trade pits the friends against each other in a playoff series both could lose but only one can win. Saved takes the reader into the rinks, dressing rooms, planes, buses, and hotels that are the backdrop to the long grind of an NHL season. That grind is made bearable by the likes of players such as Bruno Govoni, whose cell phone ring tone is the orgasmic moaning of a porn star Loretta (Lash) LaRue; of Phil “Flipside” Palmer, the only person besides the Kingsmen who knows all the words to “Louie Louie” or that “Child of the Moon” was the flipside of the Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”; and team enforcer Kevin Quigley, who claims all his fights are retaliations, “but sometimes I retaliate first.” Most sports novels bring the game to the reader. Saved brings the reader to the game. Praise for Jack Falla “Falla’s graphic portrayal of a violent sport (and its colorful players) and his insider’s view of how hockey is played, coached, and officiated is exciting, surefire entertainment.” -- Publishers Weekly on Saved “Literary hot chocolate that will warm your heart.” ---Robert Lipsyte, The New York Times, on Home Ice “The best hockey book ever.” ---John Buccigross, ESPN sportscaster, on Home Ice “Possibly the best hockey book since Ken Dryden’s The Game.” ---Toronto Globe and Mail, on Home Ice

After the Stasi
Author: Annie Ring
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472567617
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Why did so many citizens of the GDR agree to collaborate with the Stasi? Reading works of literature since German unification in the light of previously unseen files from the archives of the Stasi, After the Stasi uncovers how writers to the present day have explored collaboration as a challenge to the sovereignty of subjectivity. Annie Ring here interweaves close analysis of literary fiction and life-writing by former Stasi spies and victims with documents from the archive, new readings from literary modernism and cultural theories of the self. In its pursuit of the strange power of the Stasi, the book introduces an archetypal character in the writing of German unification: one who is not sovereign over her or his actions, but instead is compelled by an imperative to collaborate – an imperative that persists in new forms in the post-Cold War age. Ring's study identifies a monumental historical shift after 1989, from a collaboration that took place in concert with others, in a manner that could be recorded in the archive, to the more isolated and ultimately less accountable complicities of the capitalist present. While considering this shift in the most recent texts by East German writers, Ring provocatively suggests that their accounts of collaboration under the Stasi, and of the less-than-sovereign subjectivity to which it attests, remain urgent for understanding the complicities to which we continue to consent in the present day.
