Book Description
An action-packed adventure based on the award-winning videogame from id Software, the creators of DOOM® and QUAKE®, Rage follows one man’s fight to save the future of humanity in a ravaged, post-apocalyptic world. The asteroid Apophis has annihilated Earth, and only a small percentage of humanity’s best and brightest have been saved.

When Lieutenant Nick Raine emerges from his Ark, he finds a future indistinguishable from nightmare.

Pages : 358
Book Description
In a secret society where human medical experimentation is conducted at any cost... There are bound to be mistakes. Behind the protective walls of the Colony... Layla is growing restless. The Colony is filled with secrets, and James has been keeping her in the dark. So when a woman from her youth opens a crack into her past, Layla discovers everything she believed about the Colony has been a lie—even the baby she carries. Burdened with an unnerving pregnancy and tormented by terrifying hallucinations and blackouts, she sets out to uncover the unspeakable truths inside the Colony's walls. Outside, in the poisoned world... The virus has killed millions and devastated the economy, but investigative reporter Nick Slater is determined to find and expose the illegal biohacking ring that's snatching young people from the impoverished streets. When he's framed for arson and forced into hiding, his only chance of getting the story is to join the unsuspecting victims herded onto buses and swept off into the night. As Nick risks his life barreling toward the truth and Layla struggles to constrain the invasive life growing inside her… A new, evolved breed of humans is about to be unveiled. "A gripping — at times, terrifying — story that moves at the speed of light with clever and crafty characters whose motives and allegiances make it exciting to decipher the good guys from the bad. Hunt knows how to keep a story moving, finishing so many chapters with the type of jaw-dropper that compels you to keep going without a break." —BookTrib "An involving, twisty, and well-written thriller that's both thought-provoking and entertaining ... The tale closes with some very unexpected surprises for readers, giving a huge boost to the story's overall intrigue." —Kirkus Reviews "Hunt has written a chilling dystopia ... The plot never lags, moving quickly from one shocking discovery to the next ... This well-written medical mystery, combining the best elements of thriller and sci-fi, is perfect for fans of twist endings and moral quandaries." —BookLife

Sass
Author: J Finley
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469680033
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Black women comedians are more visible than ever, performing around the world in physical venues like comedy clubs and festivals, along with appearing in films, streaming specials, and online videos. Across these mediums, humor—and particularly sass—functions as a tool for Black women to articulate and redress cultural, social, and political marginalization. J Finley theorizes sass as a new critical lens to better understand the power of Black women's humor and humanity and explores how sass functions as a powerful resource in Black women's expressive repertoire. Challenging mainstream assumptions about "sassiness" as an identity or personality trait to which Black women humorists may be reduced, Finley deploys sass to create a new genre of discourse for understanding the ways in which Black women use language, style, gesture, and intent to produce meaning—often humorous—in speaking back to authority. Grounded in an ethnographic approach to Black women's experiences, Finley conducted extensive interviews as well as participant-observation as a critic, audience member, and comic herself to collect and honor the stories that Black women comics tell about themselves. Interdisciplinary and conceptually rigorous, Finley's work shows us how we can and should read Black women's expressions of sass in humor as attempts at social transformation that involve a fundamental critique of power and authority, and a gesture at collective liberation.
