With the wildling Signar in tow, Tzarik and Sybal track Tarkan to Alika only to find he's in a race to the mythical Mahit'Nomicon against the would-be sorcerer Abigor Sharar. Now on the hunt for two of the most dangerous sentients to have ever existed, the Runers come closer to finding out that their paths might not have crossed with Sharar's entirely by chance and the hunters may have in fact been the hunted. After two decades of study, Sharar finally believes he knows the resting place of the Mahit'Onomicon. Just before he's sure, an old nemesis appears, stronger and more vengeful than ever before. Armed with the djinn he enslaved long ago, protected by a sell-sword Runer, and informed by a traitorous necromancer, Sharar sees no way he can possibly fall to the revenge-bent Necro'Khan. He will be a sorcerer before the winter cools the desert sands of Alika. Tarkan is gathering not only Apostles to his side but also unearthing spells and magic that Ishmael began to create one thousand years ago-long before Tarkan thought his father even existed. The more powerful the Necro'Khan becomes, the less he fears Sharar. In fact, Sharar as a sorcerer might be the missing piece he needs to become truly free and enthrone himself as the most powerful sentient on the map.

Law and government are dead- just like most of the people- leaving a morally grey code of conduct in their place. And I couldn't be happier. See, I've had urges my entire life; urges that would have eventually had me strapped into an electric chair if polite society had stayed the same. Sometimes I could control my needs; sometimes not. But now - in this broken America- I'm an Exterminator. My job is to seek out any threat and put it down, and damn it, I love my work. But twenty-four hours can change everything, and a morally grey code of conduct can turn black just as quickly. That's when you find out who you really are, and what you're actually capable of doing. Welcome to Branberry Street; we're the little cul-de-sac at the end of the world.

An ambitious, layered exploration of how ancient myths resonate with contemporary issues, particularly of technology, power, and identity. Mythic and literary devices critique the digital age impact on human society, suggesting that in some ways we are living out ancient narratives in new forms, with technology as both the protagonist and antagonist. An exploration of technology, history, mythology, and power structures woven together from various mythologies (Greek, Roman, Christian) with modern technological concepts like AI, data centers, and digital surveillance. The Trojan Horse becomes a symbol not just of deceit but of how digital technologies infiltrate and alter societal structures, much like the original horse was used to infiltrate Troy. The imagery of the centaur president, combining the human with the animal (or in this case, the digital), reflects on leadership in a modern context where human decision-making is intertwined with AI or data-driven processes. This fusion suggests a loss of autonomy or purity in governance, akin to how myths often used hybrid creatures to explore moral or ethical dilemmas. Parallels are drawn between historical constructions like the Tower of Babel and Kafka's Great Wall with contemporary structures like the digital infrastructure (4G, 5G, etc.), suggesting a cyclical pattern where human ambition to connect or control leads to both creation and destruction. The transformation of geographical features into mythological entities, like the nation as a bull or cow, illustrates a critique of national identities or empires as performative or sacrificial in their quests for power, echoing ancient rituals like the taurobolium. The Reality Perception of this Wittgenstein and Russell's philosophical debate about certainty and the presence of the unseen (the rhinoceros) metaphorically extends to the hidden algorithms and data systems that govern lives without full awareness, a critique of how we perceive reality in an age so much mediated by technology. The use of "ekphrasis" here serves as a literary device to describe scenes or artworks in such vivid detail that they become a reality in the reader's mind, paralleling how digital data constructs our perceived reality and the loss of individual agency in a world where data is king. The imagery of the Trojan Horse filled with digital agents rather than soldiers reflects how modern forms of conquest or influence might succeed. Gobal cultures and their transformations of nations like Canada and Australia underline how traditional values and identities are reshaped by digital imperialism. In a translation of one dimension to another unlikely logic persists. In this case a horse is a house. The Trojan Horse was indeed a house. It housed a company of Greeks in its belly who brought about the downfall of the city of Troy when the horse was transported inside the gates. That night, during the Trojan victory celebration, the Greeks crept out and burned the city to the ground. So a horse was a house. Translated into the other dimension of what used to be called time, before modern timelessness began, a house became a horse, which to apply the logic, the White House of the American executive carried within itself the forces of betrayal that burned the nation to the ground. Any time we go to another dimension however relations double, so not only did the house become a horse destroy the nation, it did so in such a way that the nation was exalted to a Higher status. On that higher plane the power of that nation increased beyond expectation. Seventh Day Adventist Ellen White addressed aspects of this fetish directly, but her writings are never part of the end time podcasts. The White House Horse therefore became a a prophetic White house Horse of the first seal of Revelation.

A racy, hard-boiled, torrid novel of sex and betrayal in the early days of television. Back in print for the first time in over 60 years! Beautiful Eve Tremaine will do almost anything, and sleep with anyone of any sex, to become a success in broadcasting. She's not alone. Her rivals for stardom, and more importantly the attentions of Mike Carlyle, the "boy wonder of broadcasting," include the "pretty little mantrap" Sally Kaye and the "long-limbed mantrap" Mary Sweet. But if she wants to get even further in the business, she needs to win over the all-powerful producer Basil Womack. To do that, she will have to seduce Marietta Ming, "the aging by superbly attractive Oriental actress," who is rumored to be an expert in the dark secrets of the lesbian love, which Eve knows is "the path to true ecstasy" for any woman. And that's only the beginning of the obstacles she'll have to conquer with her passion and her body to make her dreams come true. The book was originally released as Television Tramp in 1952 with the tantalizing tagline "A novel of wickedness and unconventional love." It was republished in 1960 by a different publisher as She Made Her Bed, with the new tagline "A novel of unconventional love in the off-beat world of radio and TV." The unconventional love in both versions is, of course, lesbian sex, though the scenes are ridiculously tame and utterly conventional today's standards. "Although the book's other characters seem implausibly preoccupied with sex, its behind-the-scene details of radio and television production are vivid and convincing. The author knows how to keep the story on track and moving along swiftly." Reading California Fiction

Five twentysomethings draw the ire of a paranoid psychopath, while searching for love in the digital age. Dylan has the three sixes. Six feet tall, six-figure income, and six-pack abs. Technically, he only has two of the sixes. The phony story about his lucrative Wall Street career completes the package, allowing him to get any woman he wants. To Dylan, women are disposable, used for sex, and discarded. Aaron, a wannabe author but currently a waiter, just wants a girlfriend. He wants to fall in love and to get married someday. He doesn't want to play games-like his best friend and genetic lottery winner, Jack-which is why Aaron's clearly losing in the dating game. Without a single six, Aaron finds nothing but rejection online, until Eve. A chance encounter with the stunning Eve showcases Aaron's altruism, and it might change everything. Eve can get any man she wants on the Sugar Babies dating app. To Eve, men are disposable, used for money, and discarded when they want too much in return. Until she meets Aaron. The waiter with average looks teaches Eve that beauty isn't skin-deep. Her newfound values are tested when she meets Jack, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Lizzie, Eve's best friend, wants a high-value man, with all the sixes, but these men are unavailable and borderline psychopathic. Lizzie's mother advises her daughter to date a short man. "Nobody wants a short man. You'll have the pick of the litter." But Lizzie's drawn to six-foot-tall bad boys, who only want one thing. Stan has never had a girlfriend. Never even been kissed. He's the IT guy at North Cedar Elementary School. When he's not patrolling the internet, he obsesses over the beautiful fifth-grade teacher, Beth Price. But, when he finally gathers the courage to ask her out, he's humiliated. His humiliation validates his suspicions-women don't really want the nice guy. Stan's done being the nice guy. He's done being everyone's punching bag. It's time for revenge. It's time to take what he wants. Author's note: This book contains graphic scenes of violence and sexual deviance. It is not for the faint of heart.

That's because he knew that Professor Carrots and the gang loved to use his classroom to have critter "jam sessions" and dance parties at night.
