Book Description
Dale Bennett's best friend, Jill Franklin, is a psychic. At least, that's the only way Dale can explain her apparent premonitions. Whenever they enter a new town, Jill not only knows where the best weapons and items are sold, but how much they cost and what kind of weapon they need for the inevitable boss battle that always follows. If they are trying to solve a new puzzle no one in their party has run into before, Jill instantly knows how to complete it, and in good time, too. Yet Jill's apparent psychic powers are put to the test when Dale's hometown vanishes into thin air without warning, forcing her to reveal the truth: She, Dale, and their friends are characters in a video game, a game Jill has played through so many times that she has memorized everything, from the locations of secret items to helpful glitches that make beating the game so much easier. But now a new glitch has infected the game and Jill doesn't know what caused it, forcing her, Dale, and the other members of their party to go on a quest to find out what caused this glitch and how to fix it. Yet as the glitch consumes more and more of their world, it may be too late for Dale and his friends to save everyone and everything they know and love from its destructive reach.

Book Description
Persistent doubt is not easily ignored. As the newest agent of the secret organization known as Reunification, Rii firmly believes in the Mission laid out in the organization's goals. He works alongside his formerly long-lost sister, who has changed much since her disappearance six years ago, and dreams about bringing the Mission to completion some day soon. But when Rii stumbles upon the true nature of the organization, he finds himself torn between continuing to serve the Mission and quitting Reunification entirely. The matter is complicated by his loyalty to his sister, who he does not wish to betray, despite his gradually weakening loyalty to the cause. With his conscience and loyalty battling each other in his mind, Rii finds himself faced with a diffcult dilemma, one that, regardless of his choice, will change his life—and the lives of his family—forever.

Book Description
Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend has spawned a series of iconic horror and science fiction films, including The Last Man on Earth (1964), The Omega Man (1971) and I Am Legend (2007). The compelling narrative of the last man on earth, struggling to survive a pandemic that has transformed the rest of humanity into monsters, has become an American myth. While the core story remains intact, filmmakers have transformed the details over time, reflecting changing attitudes about race and masculinity. This reexamination of Matheson's novel situates the tale of one man's conflicted attitude about killing racialized "others" within its original post-World War II context, engaging the question of post-traumatic stress disorder. The author analyzes the several film adaptations, with a focus on the casting and interpretations of protagonist Robert Neville.

Breaking the law is sometimes the most lawful thing to do. Having been framed for crimes he did not commit, the robotic law enforcer known as J997 must break even more laws as he attempts to stop the secret organization called Reunification from reuniting the worlds.

But when it turns out that this agent has been arrested and thrown into the most secure prison in the world, J997 and his allies must break him out of prison before his scheduled execution.

Book Description
The Pulitzer Prize winner explores the literary joys of sci-fi and superheroes, gumshoes and goblins, and the stories that bring us together. “I read for entertainment, and I write to entertain. Period.” Such is the manifesto of Michael Chabon, an author of indisputable literary renown who maintains a fierce appreciation of the seductive arts of so-called “genre” fiction. In this lively collection of sixteen critical and personal essays, the author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay champions the cause of westerns, horror, and all the stories, comics, and pulp fiction that get pushed aside when literary discussion turns serious. Whether he’s taking up Superman or Sherlock Holmes, Poe or Proust, Chabon makes it his emphatic mission to explore the reasons we tell one another tales. Throughout, Chabon reveals his own blooming as a writer, from The Mysteries of Pittsburgh to The Yiddish Policeman’s Union. He is living proof of his theory that the stories that give us great pleasure are in many ways our truest, best art—the building blocks of our shared imagination—and in Maps and Legends, he “makes an inviting case for bridging the gap between popular and literary writing” (O, The Oprah Magazine). This ebook features a biography of the author.

Book Description
The end of the world may be upon us, but it certainly is taking its sweet time playing out. The walkers on The Walking Dead have been "walking" for nearly a decade. There are now dozens of apocalyptic television shows and we use the "end times" to describe everything from domestic politics and international conflict, to the weather and our views of the future. This collection of new essays asks what it means to live in a world inundated with representations of the apocalypse. Focusing on such series as The Walking Dead, The Strain, Battlestar Galactica, Doomsday Preppers, Westworld, The Handmaid's Tale, they explore how the serialization of the end of the world allows for a closer examination of the disintegration of humanity--while it happens. Do these shows prepare us for what is to come? Do they spur us to action? Might they even be causing the apocalypse?
