Andromeda's Choice
Andromeda McKee rebuilt her life in the violent embrace of the Legion of the Damned in the days when cyborgs were first being introduced. Now she must choose between her conscience and her desire for vengeance... In a different world, Lady Catherine "Cat" Carletto would never have left her pampered life behind. But when Princess Ophelia became Empress Ophelia in a coup that claimed the lives of the princess' brother and all who supported him, including the Carletto family, Cat had to hide—or die. She became Legionnaire Andromeda McKee, and now she's a battle-scarred veteran who knows how to kill. Summoned to Earth to receive the Imperial Order of Merit from the empress herself, Andromeda learns that she isn't the sole surviving Carletto—her uncle Rex is not only still alive but also the leader of a resistance group determined to overthrow Ophelia. Caught up in a web of intrigue, Andromeda realizes that the moment is coming when her revenge will be at hand. But will she be able to act, or will she be betrayed by those she has come to trust?
Seeing the Apocalypse
Seeing the Apocalypse: Essays on Bird Box is the first volume to explore Josh Malerman’s best-selling novel and its recent film adaptation, which broke streaming records and became a cultural touchstone, emerging as a staple in the genre of contemporary horror. The essays in this collection offer an interdisciplinary approach to Bird Box, one that draws on the fields of gender studies, cultural studies, and disability studies. The contributors examine how Bird Box provokes questions about a range of issues including the human body and its existence in the world, the ethical obligations that shape community, and the anxieties arising from technological development. Taken together, the essays of this volume show how a critical examination of Bird Box offers readers a guide for thinking through human experience in our own troubled, apocalyptic times.
The Protocol
Doctor Robert Appleton is a promising young research psychiatrist who has patented a new drug to curb violence in humans. He recruits young women to consent to his sordid research design by injecting them with a street-drug “cocktail” of PCP, Ritalin, and cocaine. The U.S. Government is interested in Appleton’s work to quell a Muslim uprising in Indonesia in retaliation for the U.S. victory in the Gulf War. However, the U.S. intelligence community is compromised when Appleton’s secret obsession of sexually molesting young women is uncovered. Hounded by the Houston police, Appleton goes undercover with the CIA’s help. However, Appleton’s predilections propel him to kill again and again, safe within the government’s witness protection program. The reader is quickly immersed in the worlds of psychiatric research, espionage, and detective work as the CIA vows to protect Appleton’s identity at the expense of young girls dying to his sexual fantasies. At stake is global economic stability and the U.S. Government is not about to sacrifice its international reputation.
