"In a galaxy bubbling with wars and disasters, the Hospitallers answer every call." Once they were victims, now they are protectors—the Hospitaller Orphan Corps reaches across the second radial arm of the galaxy bringing aid, comfort, and when necessary, defense. This Founders’ Day Omnibus celebrates and gathers the complete collection (2018*–2024) of Earl T. Roske’s chronicles of those who stand between the innocent and chaos, while yet finding ways to celebrate their history. Every year, wherever they are—on a battlefield, a distant colony, or a quiet outpost—the Hospitallers pause to celebrate Founders’ Day: a remembrance of those who gave them a future. And it’s a day of cake, camaraderie, and stories passed down across generations of Hospitallers. From devastated cities to abandoned outposts, every mission tests their courage, their wit, and their belief in something greater than survival: service, family, and the promise of Founders’ Day. For fans of military sci-fi with a soul.

This book features an in-depth analysis of the world’s most popular movie, The Shawshank Redemption, delving into issues such as: the significance of race in the film, its cinematic debt to earlier genres, the gothic influences at work in the movie, and the representation of Andy’s poster art as cross-gendered signifiers. In addition to exploring the film and novella from which it was adapted, this book also traces the history of the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, which served as the film’s central location, and its relationship to the movie’s fictional Shawshank Prison. The last chapter examines why this film has remained both a popular and critical success, inspiring diverse fan bases on the Internet and the evolution of the Shawshank Trail, fourteen of the film’s actual site locations that have become a major tourist attraction in central Ohio.
