In a galaxy devastated by corporate greed, three teenage eco-warriors are thrust into chaos when their parents mysteriously vanish. Meteor, Galaxy, and Star must band together to fight against ruthless corporate forces and uncover hidden truths about their families. As they navigate a web of betrayal and danger, can they summon the courage to become the heroes their world desperately needs? "We the Young: Destiny's Makers" is a pulse-pounding sci-fi adventure that tests the limits of friendship and resolve. In an era marked by turmoil, relentless challenges, and rampant corporate greed that stretches across the cosmos, the three intrepid teenage eco-warriors—Meteor, Galaxy, and Star—find themselves plunged into an interstellar nightmare. Their parents, the last beacon of hope for Earth, have mysteriously disappeared during a crucial asteroid mining expedition, leaving behind a haunting distress call: "Lone Star down!" Now, aboard a sentient starship steered by a mysterious AI, these young champions must transform from frightened adolescents into bold leaders. They face off against merciless trillionaires who would rather see Earth perish than share its riches, alongside a cosmic menace that threatens to tear apart the very essence of reality. As their existence morphs into a battle for survival, the trio uncovers a lethal virus that has infiltrated not just their systems but the entire planet, orchestrated by a select few who seek total domination. Armed with their unique talents and unwavering bravery, they must confront insurmountable challenges, tap into their inner resilience, and challenge a system designed to break them. This uprising is not merely about saving the Earth; it’s about reclaiming the fundamental rights to breathe, think, and live freely. As the conspiracy unfolds, these young eco-marshals realize that destiny is not a passive waiting game—it’s a force they must actively shape. In this exhilarating space opera, where hope and determination become powerful tools against despair, our young heroes will learn that to secure the future, they must first become the architects of it. Prepare for "We, the Young: Destiny's Makers"—a tale where the next generation rises to redefine the cosmos

Book Description
From Ma Jian, the highly acclaimed Chinese dissident, comes a satirical novel about the absurdities of life in a post-Tiananmen China. Two men meet for dinner each week. Over the course of one of these drunken evenings, the writer recounts the stories he would write, had he the courage: a young man buys an old kiln and opens a private crematorium, delighting in his ability to harass the corpses of police officers and Party secretaries, while swooning to banned Western music; a heartbroken actress performs a public suicide by stepping into the jaws of a wild tiger, watched nonchalantly by her ex-lover. Extraordinary characters inspire him, their lives pulled and pummeled by fate and politics, as if they are balls of dough in the hands of an all-powerful noodle maker. Ma Jian's satirical masterpiece allows us a humorous, yet profound, glimpse of those struggling to survive under a system that dictates their every move.

Book Description
Women's lives are at the center of this stunning collection of short stories by the writer The New Yorker says "provides unexpected delights....Questions and answers alike shine with intelligence and an almost ninteenth-century concern for ideals." Though Sara Maitland's interests are as varied as the people who inhabit her stories, there is a common theme to this work that extols risk taking over safety. Acrobats, women warriors, a girl who wants to become a garden, a long-distance runner, housewives and mothers, and a reformed sixteenth-century conquistador are among the characters revealed in this dazzling collection. By turns elegant and simple, erotic and elegiac, the stories draw on classical mythology, folktales, inexplicable accidents of history, and disquieting experiences of the supernatural. And, as Ann Beattie has writen of Sara Maitland's wise and magical fiction, "it speaks to today's reader in a voice that is irresistible." Familiar names from literature--Gretel, Eurydice of the green fields, the shepherd Prince Endymion, Lady Artemis-commingle with contemporary characters called David, Meg, and Liz, who desperately seek love and fulfillment and frequently have babies when they can't get what they want. Close by is the echo of Mary Magdalene, teaching us about endurance and perserverance in a voice rich with the experiences of the sex object and the "true-love dichotomy." The author suggests: "She must have thought the crucifixion a bit mad too." Sara Maitland never holds back; instead, she invites us again and again to a place of risks, and we enter, "not because we must, but because we will." And when you are about to lose heart, you meet Caroline, who has learned what it is to be strong, how it feels to be free of fear, how it feels to be totally herself: "Then she looked at Richard and he was smiling, not pityingly, not even kindly, but with open admiration."

Book Description
This book offers an incisive study on the important subject of destiny using the Holy Bible, which Christians revere as the revealed word of God. Following the Bible account, the book argues that human beings were created by God and that the Creator has a purpose for everyone he has made. It addresses such critical issues as the meaning of destiny from Gods perspective, popular misconceptions about destiny, and the Calvinist doctrine of predestination, broad types of destiny (natural destiny and supernatural destiny), Jesus Christ as the most important Bible personality that fulfilled destiny, as well as the roles of self, personal choice, natural circumstances, and the supernatural in ones destiny. Written with deep revelational interpretation of the Bible and in easy-to-read English, this book is an essential reading for all Christians, theologians, philosophers of religion, and indeed for everyone interested in understanding the purpose for their existence, including how to know and fulfill their divine destiny.
