Book SynopsisFalling in love. Evading the authorities. Chasing the rabbits. Now high school sophomores, the self-styled “Freaks” are back in class in quiet Quapaw City, Arkansas. They grapple with the ordinary challenges of everyday teen life: cliques, cars, and crushes. While everything appears normal on the surface, looks have rarely been more deceiving. A secret government task force—fully aware of the unusual powers the Freaks have acquired—is determined to capture them. Even as the mysterious Baltar Sterne shares ancient wisdom and offers hope, a new menace silently emerges in the woods outside of town. Clever, inexorable, and far more lethal than the Freaks’ first superhuman foe, this traveler from another world possesses powers that can only be described as godlike. The Freaks and their town will be tested in horrific ways they are powerless to predict or even imagine.Trade Review“Riley weaves explorations of anger issues and budding romance as well as forthrightly confronted themes of racial, religious, and class conflict.”—Kirkus Book Review"Travelers is interesting, thought provoking, and adds an unexpected emotional layer as the Freaks continue their journey to adulthood.”—Don Sauer, PopCultureGuy.com“Riley possesses a rare, writerly ability to remain in the moment once the action heats up.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Maiden Voyage of Petrus van Stijn: A Novel
Book SynopsisPetrus van Stijn’s world is besieged by two prime engines of destruction: massive geomagnetic storms caused by unprecedented solar storms – protracted coronal mass ejections (CME), and climate change wreaking unprecedented, but predictable collapse of the Antarctic ice shelves. Petrus has other problems to contend with, like surviving on a floating archipelago of ice, and then walking 2200 kilometers through a post-Apocalyptic world. At the same time, Petrus will discover something of a true social and biological paradise. Herein lies the paradox of a world where one species – ours – is facing extinction, while others – many genetically re-engineered – are enjoying a biodiversity renaissance.With a Foreword by William Shatner, this provocative, lyrical, deeply philosophical work of fiction explores the ethical limits of science and technology, and the future of all life on earth.Table of ContentsFOREWORDChapter 1 doomsday shelfs Chapter 2 incoming storms Chapter 3 the beryllium-10 factor Chapter 4 absentis diebus quattuor Chapter 5 a clou within the frozen eyewall Chapter 6 doomed logistics Chapter 7 the evacuation attempt Chapter 8 lone Chapter 9 salvaging Chapter 10 the plight of the emperors Chapter 11 journeying Chapter 12 as the last continent vanishes Chapter 13 a floating archipelago Chapter 14 quantum ecodynamic substrates Chapter 15 looming equations for lost and found Chapter 16 gardens in the fog Chapter 17 the legacy of thomas ralph merton Chapter 18 petrus discovers wonderland Chapter 19 in the morning Chapter 20 2200 kilometers to bruges Chapter 21 adventure in extremadura Chapter 22 the french Chapter 23 affable landscapes Chapter 24 coming into focus Chapter 25 going home Chapter 26 a new life Chapter 27 rights of passage Chapter 28 the state of the world, cont.

Double 9 Books The Tragical History Of Doctor Faustus
Book SynopsisA playwright and poet from England, Christopher Marlowe wrote The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus between 1564 and 1593. The drama, which originally appeared on stage in the late 16th century, is about a great scholar called Faustus who strikes a bargain with the devil in return for limitless wisdom and power. As he grows more and more corrupt and immoral, Faustus' ambition and quest for knowledge lead him down a road of vice and ruin. Faustus continues to pursue knowledge despite the cautions of his confidant and buddy Mephistopheles, and finally pays a terrible price for his desire. As one of Marlowe's most well-known works and a standard illustration of Elizabethan tragedy, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus is frequently studied.
