Having faked her death to escape the mistakes of her past, Vivienne "Lady Vengeance" Cain only wants to drink away her demons and be left alone... until the kid wanders into her bar with questions. His name is Marcus Orestes, and he wants to know about his father. Justice, once the world's greatest superhero. Justice, who died along with the rest of Supergroup. Justice, whose powers the kid seems to have inherited. And no sooner does Orestes show up than all hell breaks loose. Ninjas, two-bit super thugs, murder bots, and even her niece, the amazing A-Girl, and worse: some sinister force pulling the strings.

And Lady Vengeance is all out of bourbon.

Saga in the order they were written."The Black Swan Event brings to life a masterfully detailed array of characters with diverse viewpoints that establish an intricately mesmerizing, yet alarmingly grim, reality."--Review by Book ExcellenceMikael Carlson introduces us to the world dominated by the corporate state: a terrifying look at a future where people are dependent on the system for everything.Following a global economic collapse in 2039 that brought governments to their knees, brutal violence and chaos spread across the globe. To fill the power vacuum, giant multinational corporations, backed by wealthy benefactors, seized the reins of power and began governing the masses. Nearly fifty years later, there is no crime, no unemployment, no homelessness, and no war. All that progress came at a price - individual freedom.People are now cogs in the corporate machine whose sole purpose is to enrich the elite. Every employee is monitored for any hint of subversion and subjected to the harshest penalties for even minor transgressions. Most of the world's population has accepted this new reality. Not all of them have. The corporations call them "terrorists." They call themselves humanity's last, best hope for liberty.When an underground group of dissenters detonates an explosion that causes problems with trading on the world's sole stock exchange, a series of events are set in motion that threatens to unravel the fabric of society. Egos clash as bureaucrats, corporate executives, and wealthy elites play politics amid an unprecedented threat to their corporatist economic system. Are these black swan events the harbinger of another great collapse, or is it the spark needed for the light of liberty to shine once more?Born from the ashes left by the collapse of world governments in 2039, the world in 2088 is eerily similar to the present - filled with surveillance, propaganda, greed, and opportunism.Liberty or Tyranny? A great struggle is erupting, and the long-forgotten meaning of freedom hangs in the balance. Filled with gritty characters who are not all good or all despicable, prepare for a roller-coaster ride of unexpected twists and dramatic events. When the two sides clash, which side will you choose?Join the legion of readers starting their journey in this epic saga and buy a copy of The Black Swan Event today!

When threats to both covens end their peaceful existence, Sage must consider Ravenwood's indecent proposal... despite Rafael's threat to walk. Two power-hungry, desirable warlocks. Rafael yearns to use all Sage's magic, but she dribbles it to him, typical of modern witches ruling powerless warlocks. He figures if they marry, she'll open the floodgates to her magic. But when supposedly extinct black warlocks, who possess their own magic, upend their life, all bets are off, especially when Ravenwood craves Sage as his own. The cost extracted from Sage and Rafael may end them. The Wilde Coven is attacked, and Sage needs the Ravenwoods to prevent another witches and warlocks war. When the unthinkable happens, Sage's life flips upside down, and fierce new magic emerges. Is it enough magic to prevent a war and put Ravenwood's offer on ice? Will Sage and Rafael have a future together when they pick up the pieces... if Rafael lives?

A landmark of the Weimar Republic, Ernst Toller's Hoppla, We're Alive! is one of the founding works of what would later be come to known as the epic theater and a powerful portrait of a fragile democracy at war with itself, inevitably corrupted from within by the rising forces of capitalism and fascism. Karl Thomas, a participant in the failed Soviet-style revolutions of 1918, has spent the past eight years in a mental hospital. Released into the Germany of 1927, Karl Thomas encounters each of his former comrades in a world where all of the lessons of the first world war and the revolution seem to have been forgotten. Building to a powerful and tragic climax, Toller's play has lost none of its power to shock, provoke, and awaken readers. This translation, adapted from its performance at La Mama in the fall of 2019, is an attempt to reconcile the play's multiple extant drafts and divided meanings. I would like to thank the rest of the LUDZ collective (Lloyd Huber, set and projections designer, Ulrich Lehman, dramaturg, and Zishan Ugurlu, director) for their vision and faith in bringing Hoppla its first North American production. In the winter of 1939, 12 years after he had staged this play in Weimar Berlin, Piscator was invited to open the Dramatic Workshop at the New School, long a home for artists and intellectuals in exile. Under Piscator's leadership, the Dramatic Workshop would come to be perhaps themes influential theater school in the United States, instrumental in the careers of Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Harold Clurman, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Marlon Brando, and Judith Malina. Earlier that spring, Piscator met for coffee with Toller to discuss a future project. Two days later, on May 22, 1939, Toller hanged himself, in what was then the Mayflower Hotel off Central Park West.Berlinica Publishing LLC is a multi-media publishing house based in New York City; with its sister company Berlinica Publishing UG based in Berlin.
