Book excerpt: Miranda Morgan is en-route home while traveling with a friend, when, out of gas she must wait injured and alone as the friend goes for help. A former rider herself; she is unwary when two bikers stop to offer help. A scuffle and blow to the neck finds her awaking at their home where she is presented to a frightful looking man called Ben, and put in his charge against both their wishes. She is leery of this tall, seemingly big man. With secrets and his reluctance to trust her, he repeatedly urges: “If you want to survive, you’re going to have to trust me.” Tensions grow between them and her instinct is to be wary of this one, but she realizes that she must learn to trust him. Time is her friend as she observes him unawares while he works and in his treatment of her; thus proving he is not like the others, but rather, a kind and nurturing man. He observes her as well, and sees her personality come through as they become friends and she lets her guard down. As trust grows between them, their secrets and mutual attractions are revealed. Miranda never imagines that in this awful place, she will find a source of comfort, desire and fall in love with the one man who will share her passions and love her endlessly. Her story is intense, filled with emotion, coincidences, love, and the shared joys of motorcycles.

Little did she know what the Kronners had planned for her and the Ellinod until she woke up naked in a cell inside their ship. And it wasn't long before she found out a translation device had been implanted against her spine, debilitating her and making her helpless with pain whenever she tried to use her psi powers.

Download or read book Disaster Drawn written by Hillary L. Chute and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In hard-hitting accounts of Auschwitz, Bosnia, Palestine, and Hiroshima’s Ground Zero, comics display a stunning capacity to bear witness to trauma. Investigating how hand-drawn comics has come of age as a serious medium for engaging history, Disaster Drawn explores the ways graphic narratives by diverse artists, including Jacques Callot, Francisco Goya, Keiji Nakazawa, Art Spiegelman, and Joe Sacco, document the disasters of war. Hillary L. Chute traces how comics inherited graphic print traditions and innovations from the seventeenth century and later, pointing out that at every turn new forms of visual-verbal representation have arisen in response to the turmoil of war. Modern nonfiction comics emerged from the shattering experience of World War II, developing in the 1970s with Art Spiegelman’s first “Maus” story about his immigrant family’s survival of Nazi death camps and with Hiroshima survivor Keiji Nakazawa’s inaugural work of “atomic bomb manga,” the comic book Ore Wa Mita (“I Saw It”)—a title that alludes to Goya’s famous Disasters of War etchings. Chute explains how the form of comics—its collection of frames—lends itself to historical narrative. By interlacing multiple temporalities over the space of the page or panel, comics can place pressure on conventional notions of causality. Aggregating and accumulating frames of information, comics calls attention to itself as evidence. Disaster Drawn demonstrates why, even in the era of photography and film, people understand hand-drawn images to be among the most powerful forms of historical witness.
