Book Description
With the fate of the world in the balance, one outlier could tip the scales towards salvation or disaster. Book 1: Vita Aeterna On his sixteenth birthday, Alex Barret is scheduled for a medical procedure called Appraisal. Meant to moderately extend life, Appraisal is unpredictable, and in rare cases, like for Alex's dad, can actually shorten it. Alex has heard of every Appraisal scenario over the years - on the day of his treatment, he knows what to expect. So how is it possible that Alex's outcome is 'none of the above'? Now he's on the run from a ruthless army led by the most powerful man in the world, and his only hope is to track down his long-lost uncle - who's supposed to be dead. Book 2: Outliers Since his 'death' forty years ago, Alex Barret has been hiding deep in the Dregs, with only a trio of dogs: Shake, Rattle, and Roll, as his companions. During his absence, the Elite and the Corps have regained control after the short lived Rebel incursion into the First Circle. A mysterious message reaches Alex from an unknown source, implying that there may be another 'Outlier' with his incredible response to the Appraisal process - a girl. The message also claims that Vita Aeterna, supposedly crushed by the revolt forty years ago, is still alive. If you like gritty dystopian worlds, fast-paced action, and captivating stories of survival, then you'll love Jay Allan Storey's dark and edgy tales.

The disease is fatal in almost one hundred percent of cases, but affects only humans, leaving empty cities and towns that are quickly being repopulated with domestic animals and wildlife. Tucker eventually connects with a group of other former pets. Deprived of their human caretakers, and guided by the mysterious Web of Life, Tucker and his ‘pack’ must learn to fend for themselves, confronting cold and blinding snow, blistering heat, the threat of starvation, ferocious predators, and the violent remnants of humanity as they search for a new home.

Book Description
This study examines how cities have become an area of significant historical debate about late antiquity, challenging accepted notions that it is a period of dynamic change and reasserting views of the era as one of decline and fall.

Book Description
Drawing from a rich corpus of art works, including sarcophagi, tomb paintings, and floor mosaics, Patrick R. Crowley investigates how something as insubstantial as a ghost could be made visible through the material grit of stone and paint. In this fresh and wide-ranging study, he uses the figure of the ghost to offer a new understanding of the status of the image in Roman art and visual culture. Tracing the shifting practices and debates in antiquity about the nature of vision and representation, Crowley shows how images of ghosts make visible structures of beholding and strategies of depiction. Yet the figure of the ghost simultaneously contributes to a broader conceptual history that accounts for how modalities of belief emerged and developed in antiquity. Neither illustrations of ancient beliefs in ghosts nor depictions of afterlife, these images show us something about the visual event of seeing itself. The Phantom Image offers essential insight into ancient art, visual culture, and the history of the image.

Book Description
In World History as the History of Foundations, 3000 BCE to 1500 CE, Michael Borgolte investigates the origins and development of foundations from Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. In his survey foundations emerge not as mere legal institutions, but rather as “total social phenomena” which touch upon manifold aspects, including politics, the economy, art and religion of the cultures in which they emerged. Cross-cultural in its approach and the result of decades of research, this work represents by far the most comprehensive account of the history of foundations that has hitherto been published.

Those are the questions Josh Driscoll, a teenager living in 'The Station', a city built one kilometer beneath the surface of a frozen, lifeless earth, is determined to answer. Josh comes to believe that the 'Black Heart', a computer complex buried in a sector critically damaged in a massive asteroid strike centuries ago, holds the answers to all his questions, and is vital to their future survival. When the Station's governing Council, of which his own father is a member, announces plans to reconstruct the sector and demolish the Black Heart to make way for badly needed living space, Josh forms a movement and leads a desperate battle to stop the demolition. But can his tiny army thwart the all-powerful Council in time to avert catastrophe? A page-turning fusion of mystery, adventure, and coming-of-age that will keep you absorbed until the final electrifying twist.
