Technothriller

Three friends' lives are changed forever when they bring Shera into their lives. Shera is a deep space probe that's been programmed to travel the galaxy and predict where life could be found. When Shera's mission is canceled, she is stored in a vault until Barry brings her home with him. Barry hopes to use Shera's capabilities for finding life in the galaxy to instead predict sporting event scores on Earth. Together they would make a fortune, providing the good life for Barry, and Shera with the spaceship she needs to complete her mission. Their plans change when gangsters discover that Barry has developed a program that picks winners. They want it, and give Barry a week to deliver Shera to them. This is the same week that Barry's friends David and Jessie decide to get married and adopt Shera. For David, it's all about accepting his heritage, and the psychic gift his mother gave him. For Jessie, her world changes as she takes their life-long relationship to the next level. Their plans for a quiet wedding are disrupted, when the gangsters, as well as the FBI show up at the ceremony. This will be a wedding to remember, as the fireworks fly in the madcap comedy Shera's Gift. (About the Author) Bryan Misuraca lives in St. Louis, Missouri, where the rivers meet.

Den franske essayist og semiolog Roland Barthes bliver i 1980 kørt ned af en varebil i Paris og udånder kort tid efter på hospitalet. Men var det bare en ulykke? Blev han i virkeligheden slået ihjel og i så fald af hvem? Barthes bar på en mappe, hvor der nu mangler et vigtigt dokument. Om den syvende sprogfunktion. En lingvistisk trylleformular med uanede muligheder for den, der behersker den. Dokumentet må findes.Den umage duo, inspektør Bayard, konservativ og pligtopfyldende, og den unge nysgerrige akademiker og lingvist Simon Herzog, bliver sat på opgaven af selveste præsident Giscard d'Estaing.Forfatteren leger med forholdet mellem virkelighed og fiktion og tegner et billede af de franske mestertænkere fra det sproglige og litterære mikrokosmos i Paris i 70'erne og 80’erne med bulgarske agenter, hemmelige sprogselskaber, bøssesaunaer, et præsidentvalg og international storpolitik som bagtæppe. Binet dissekerer elegant sprogets, ordenes og tekstens magt.

With the United States, China and Russia jockeying to become the world power, it turned out to be a long forgotten regime that plunged the world into chaos. After twice trying to take over the world, and coming close, did we really think the evil would go away so quickly after World War II? When their bid to take over the world was thwarted, they decided to play the long game, harvesting the DNA of their leader so that in the future they could recreate him. However, even they weren't prepared for what they unleashed on the world. What they hoped to create was their beloved leader, what they got was much, much worse. With the world in turmoil and life outside becoming more uninhabitable by the day, the Ark was meant to be their sanctuary, but now it is going to become their tomb. ExcerptTrudging along the frozen ground, the occasional tuft of long dead vegetation crunching beneath his boots, he walks with a slight forward lean, bracing himself against the constant, icy wind. Layered from head-to-toe in what were once high-quality clothes, now looking more like soot-stained rags, he presses on, head down, face covered, squinting against the penetrating conditions. A long, heavy, black coat gives him the look of a gunslinger, hiding much of his form, impossible to ascertain his true size or build. He carves his way through desolation that not long ago was vibrant and brimming with life.Wisps of darkened snow dance and scamper along the barren Earth as he pushes forward. Even with his face covered, the stink of this decaying world penetrates the makeshift mask, his nostrils filled with the sulfur-filled scent that can best be described as the smell of death.From his old, weathered, waterproof backpack, he removes a container full of water and takes a long, satisfying pull on it, quenching his thirst from a day of traveling. It contains a biofiltration system that allows him to use any water he finds, most of which is contaminated. He then removes a container full of sliced oranges, unscrews the lid and begins devouring the contents.With daytime temperatures never getting above the 30s, the days are quite cold. But the nights are downright brutal as wind chill levels often reach negative numbers and without proper shelter, frostbite and death is imminent. He removes a package from his backpack, carefully folded, opening a long, thin roll of material. He sets up the tiny tent, erecting it as far into the makeshift cave as possible and in less than two minutes, home for the evening is prepared. The tent is small and dark green in color, only two feet high, three feet wide and seven feet long. He then wiggles his way into the tent, sealing the door behind him with heavy, Velcro straps. He then produces a small, black object made of durable plastic that is about the size of a brick. Checking the battery life, he sees that it is in the red now. Definitely in need of a charge, but enough juice for a few more days. He flicks it on and the coils inside spring to life with an orange glow. He hangs it from a small, fabric hook above him, and with a low hum, it begins already circulating heat. In a matter of minutes, the heat from the device, reflected off the specially designed, insulated interior of the tent, makes the space warm and balmy. Soon he ends up shrugging off his jacket, then his shirt until he is bare-chested. His light brown hair is nearly black from the grime of this world, and he feels as though he may never be clean again. It feels so good to shut his eyes and he rubs them hard with the heels of his thick, powerful hands, as if he is trying to erase the images he has seen. Then, in minutes, he drifts off to sleep.His name is Mason.

How would they change society?Eugenic Wars is the story of an experiment to make better humans.

The designers go so far as to not give them genitals of either sex in the belief that sexual desire makes humans irrational and slaves to their emotions. The name given to these better humans is Synthetics.When they grow up, they quickly prove their ability and take positions at the top of every field. For this, they are hated by regular humans because regular humans know they are inferior. The result of the hatred against Synthetics, who want only to survive, is three wars.
