Book Description
In a future without limits, humans can manipulate their genetic structure with animal DNA to become whatever they wish to be. Fast, strong, beautiful...or deadly. The only force able to stand against these modified humans is the Agency, where brutal government enforcers are raised from childhood to protect the peace by any means necessary. For Liane, the Agency is the only home she’s ever known. Alongside her Handler, Damian, she fights against those who threaten the country. Dangerous and invaluable due to her super-human abilities, Liane knows nothing of life outside the Agency’s control or the civilians who inhabit the city. Or does she? Why is she haunted by flashes of events that she can’t remember? What is the reason for Damian’s sudden, obsessive surveillance of her? Why is she drawn to the forbidden world beyond the Agency? And who is the man whose face she keeps seeing in her dreams? When Liane searches for answers, she learns that there is more to the past than she knows, and that trust can be the ultimate danger. Because within the clandestine depths of the city, new threats and enemies emerge that could spell ruin for her, Damian, and the Agency. As whispers of the Ragnarok Resolution grow louder, the stage is set for a final confrontation that will determine not only Liane’s survival but that of humanity itself.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
A genetically modified assassin has gone rogue and is out for revenge in a future dystopian London in this science fiction adventure. Within London of the future, there are no limits to genetic engineering. Altered humans, known as mods, rule the underbelly of the city, while the Libertas Party maintains its stranglehold on the government and its people. Wielding a sinister Agency of genetically modified assassins, Libertas will stop at nothing to keep order—and silence those who would threaten the Party’s power. This includes Liane, an Agent gone rogue and on the run from her former masters. Having barely survived the last attack by the Agency and still grappling with the truths she learned about the Titan Strain, Liane vows to destroy those who turned her into an inhuman killer. But that means outsmarting and outrunning Damian, her former Handler, who wants his Agent back at any cost. Liane isn’t the only one fighting against the Agency, however, and soon she is drawn into a secret war brewing between assassins and mods. Led by a man who knows far more about the Agency than he lets on, the mods are determined to fight back against Libertas and reclaim the city. When Damian draws the all-powerful Prime Minister into the hunt for Liane, the stakes become even more deadly. As the Osiris Contingency threatens ruin for them all, Liane will find herself faced with an impossible choice between freedom and survival.

Essays on Eddic Poetry
Author: John McKinnel
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442615885
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Essays on Eddic Poetry presents a selection of important articles on Old Norse literature by noted medievalist John McKinnell. While McKinnell's work addresses many of the perennial issues in the study of Old Norse, this collection has a special focus on the interplay between heathen and Christian world-views in the poems. Among the texts examined are Hávamál, which includes an elegantly cynical poem about Óðinn's sexual intrigues and a more mystical one about his self-sacrifice on the world-tree in order to gain magical wisdom; V?lundarkviða, which recounts an elvish smith's revenge for his captivity and maiming; and Hervararkviða, where the heroine bravely but foolishly raises her dead father to demand the deadly sword Tyrfingr from him. Originally published between 1988 and 2008, these twelve essays cover a wide range of mythological and heroic poems and have been revised and updated to reflect the latest scholarship.
