Book Description
The Feds call them insurgs. They are the survivors of a widespread conflict on the US eastern seaboard. The Feds used robots and drones to mangle and incinerate their enemies. Those that escaped flowed west, one particular group led by a former Fed named Skid. He built an underground installation in the US Southwest desert, and started salvaging Fed military technology. He and his compatriot Skip devised a rocket powered lizard that could attach itself to the back of Fed transports. On the other side is the Fed commander Steele, a man of lethal efficiency, who employs and dog and cat robots, as well as flying cyborgs with bladed arms. As both sides prepare for a huge battle, a mysterious force, perhaps extraterrestrial, announces itself with the wholesale destruction of a mountain. Meanwhile, back east, strange, silvery beings called Flat Men appear. From the red canyons of Arizona to the glass towers of NYC, humans and machines struggle for survival, wondering how much of their humanity will remain.

The Last Defender

Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 184876524X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
Brokehill Manor, an out-of-the-way pile in a state of gentle dilapidation, is a house with a secret. Its gentleman owner’s peace and tranquility is suddenly interrupted late one autumn by the arrival of a larger-than-life widowed sister whose sole agenda is change. With history on his side and in the company of a one-time Detective Agency bloodhound, a distinctly laid-back Persian cat and the feisty support of a loyal grand-daughter, Edward Brimble sets out to rebuff his sister’s unwarranted demands. A cleverly crafted and compelling novel, The Last Defender is aimed at an open audience, from teenagers up to the age of 80. The novel, which tells of the manor’s historic link with the beginning of the English Civil War, will appeal particularly to fans of sport and history. Derek is inspired by different authors; Charles Dickens for his structure, characters and dialogue, John Fowles for introspection and historicity, James Joyce for his more ‘bizarre moments’.

Category : Social Science

Pages : 465
Book Description
In "the very best book about Hindu mythology that anyone has ever written" (The New Republic) Calasso plunges Western readers into the mind of ancient India. He begins with a mystery: Why is the most important god in the Rg Veda, the oldest of India's sacred texts, known by a secret name—"Ka," or Who? What ensues is not an explanation, but an unveiling. Here are the stories of the creation of mind and matter; of the origin of Death, of the first sexual union and the first parricide. We learn why Siva must carry his father's skull, why snakes have forked tongues, and why, as part of a certain sacrifice, the king's wife must copulate with a dead horse. A tour de force of scholarship and seduction, Ka is irresistible.
