Book Description
For the first time, the adventures of Team 9, the Allied worlds and their battles against the supernatural menace known as Apaht are available in one book, Alliance Eternal. It begins with The Legend of Team 9, which tells the story of the Alliance, a vast and far flung collection of worlds brought together by the Allen field, a living energy source connecting all sentient beings. With the field come an equally vast array of abilities, including effortless travel between worlds, a form of telepathy and near immortality. The field is the bedrock of the Alliance; however, the Allies are shaken to their very core as they and their elite group of explorers, Team 9, make a startling discovery: The field is dying. In time, they learn that Apaht, a powerful supernatural being of pure malice, seeks to extinguish the field. An all-out effort is launched to protect it and save the Alliance. Nearly two centuries later, remnants of the group that defended the Allied worlds and vanquished Apaht are brought together to investigate a troubling new enigma involving the field. Tales of Section Zero begins with vast stretches of space inexplicably falling dark, bereft of the Allen field and the abilities it enables. Worse yet, the regions seem to be expanding. On a lonely and desolate outpost called Discovery 11, they learn that the cause of the dead zones lies in the Alliance's distant past, in a long-forgotten search to create an all-seeing machine called an omniviewer. It's up to Paul Hewitt, an immortal operative of the Alliance's intelligence service, to realize how the Alliance's ancient quest to peer into any corner of existence is roiling the field once again.

The Doctrines of Grace
Author: James Montgomery Boice
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433517353
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
There is no question that we live in an age of weak theology and casual Christianity. We have substituted intuition for truth, feeling for belief and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Evangelicalism desperately needs to return to the doctrines that once before reformed the world: radical depravity, unconditional election, particular redemption, efficacious grace and persevering grace. James Boice and Philip Ryken not only provide a compelling exposition on these doctrines of grace, but also look briefly at their historical impact. The authors leave no doubt that the church suffers when these foundational truths are neglected and that she must return to a Christianity that is practical-minded, kind-hearted, and most importantly, biblically based.

Kill the Messenger (Movie Tie-In Edition)
Author: Nick Schou
Publisher: Bold Type Books
ISBN: 1568584717
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Now a major motion picture starring Jeremy Renner! Kill the Messenger tells the story of the tragic death of Gary Webb, the controversial newspaper reporter who committed suicide in December 2004. Webb is the former San Jose Mercury News reporter whose 1996 "Dark Alliance" series on the so-called CIA-crack cocaine connection created a firestorm of controversy and led to his resignation from the paper amid escalating attacks on his work by the mainstream media. Author and investigative journalist Nick Schou published numerous articles on the controversy and was the only reporter to significantly advance Webb's stories. Drawing on exhaustive research and highly personal interviews with Webb's family, colleagues, supporters and critics, this book argues convincingly that Webb's editors betrayed him, despite mounting evidence that his stories were correct. Kill the Messenger examines the "Dark Alliance" controversy, what it says about the current state of journalism in America, and how it led Webb to ultimately take his own life. Webb's widow, Sue Bell Stokes, remains an ardent defender of her ex-husband. By combining her story with a probing examination of the one of the most important media scandals in recent memory, this book provides a gripping view of one of the greatest tragedies in the annals of investigative journalism.

Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy
Author: Gabriella Coleman
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781689830
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
The ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists collectively known as Anonymous—by the writer the Huffington Post says “knows all of Anonymous’ deepest, darkest secrets” “A work of anthropology that sometimes echoes a John le Carré novel.” —Wired Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside–outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book. The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters—such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu—emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, including the history of “trolling,” the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of “the lulz.”
