Pages : 267
Book Description
The job is as simple as they ever are for members of the Collective: get in, fool the marks, and commit some devastating corporate espionage. For Miroslav Antanasijević—an expert at faking identities—it’s a high-stress gig, but one he’s used to. At least that’s how it starts. When it all goes wrong, Mirko barely escapes with his life… and only because a ride share driver comes to his rescue. Arlen Tate is just trying to finish his doctorate, help his sister through school, and leave his turbulent family life in the past where it belongs. His schedule is packed tight, and it does not have room for “help an organized crime syndicate rescue one of their own.” Too bad the minute he hauls that stranger into his car and takes off, he’s on a one-way trip down a rabbit hole of crime, corruption, and a very strange gray area between moral and illegal. And maybe he doesn’t want to go back. Especially the more time he spends with the enigmatic chameleon he rescued. But someone is coming for the Collective. Someone ruthless and powerful. And they will happily murder anyone who gets in their way. Ride Share is book 1 of The Collective. CW: Graphic violence, kidnapping, descriptions of off-page torture

Book Description
"What if one could Reify their very Memories as aspects of the world?" Humanity posed this question to itself, and quickly brought about the end of society, fueled by avarice and unrest with the differences between their Creations and Expectations. The very Amalga meant to cure cancer and malaise, used instead as a weapon capable of rending living tissue. From it came the Memoria: the Figmenti, raw Desire without limits, and the Iota, facsimiles and simulations of human Thought, displaced from Humanity themselves. But while the Iota often fight Figmenti, they just as often fight one another, much like their progenitors. You are one such Iota, Nhyille. You've arrived at Synapse with a goal in mind, a life to save... or at least, on paper. It seems the other Iota you're working with have their own agendas, too. Are they trustworthy? What is your goal, while you're here? And what is this crystal you possess, the supposed Reliquary? This may not be a pleasant journey, you've chosen to embark on....

Century of Locusts
Author: Malika Mokeddem
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803232549
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
What first appears as a tiny moving shadow, no bigger than a fly, on the dazzling horizon slowly reveals itself as the grim shape of violence and death; in the destruction left behind?the mother?s broken body, the hidden child, the crying infant?begins the story of wandering and loss, of exile and desolation that sounds all the sad echoes of disappearing Bedouin life. Set in the first half of the twentieth century, Malika Mokeddem?s Century of Locusts combines the magic of exquisitely wrought desert landscapes, the intrigue of Bedouin tales of madmen and poets, and the personal pain of exile and isolation to evoke a way of life destroyed by the scourge of settler colonialism. The book tells the braided tales of those left to resist: a wandering poet and his mute, stricken daughter, Yasmine; the lunatic Majnoun; and Majnoun's murderous sidekick, Hassan, who twitches and squints with malevolence, lurking along the story?s shadowy borders. Rippling ever outward with allusions and echoes, the tale eventually encompasses Algeria?s legendary past, its colonial injustices, and its uncertain future, even as Mokeddem?s poetry and deft touch confer life and hope on the ravaged body of this desert land.

THE ROOKIE
Author: Scott Sigler
Publisher: Empty Set Entertainment
ISBN: 0983196311
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 551
Book Description
Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, THE ROOKIE is a story that combines the intense gridiron action of "Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and the criminal underworld of "The Godfather." Aliens and humans alike play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that literally want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed and rival players are assassinated. Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy that has been raised all his life to hate, and kill, those aliens. Quentin must deal with his racism and learn to lead, or he'll wind up just another stat in the column marked "killed on the field." In the Galactic Football League, wars are no longer fought in space, but on the gridiron. If you like aliens and football then I suspect you're unlikely to find a better combination than than THE ROOKIE.
