Book excerpt: "Star Trek meets Cheech & Chong!" – #1 INTERGALACTIC BESTSELLING author Tom Sadira invites you on another trip to the farthest corners of the cosmos in this hilarious sci-fi adventure saga. Not even the Starseed can be in two places at once. Captain Charlie Hong and the crew of the Starseed are faced with an impossible choice: save a planet from its dying star or fulfill their promise of hosting a peace summit for a desperate system locked in a cyclical three-way war. Rather than choose who lives and dies, Charlie uses his bond with the Starseed to spawn a smaller, pineapple-shaped starship—the Pineapple Express—and sets out to host the precarious peace process. His vision clouded by guilt, heartache, and bong hits, Charlie doesn’t notice the dark forces stowing away in the shadows, ready to sow insanity, discord, and murder. Now Charlie must race against time to solve the murders and take back control of the Pineapple Express before it’s too late—all while confronting the darker aspects of his own stoned mind.

Oh yeah, makes for pretty good toilet paper, too.” — Crytix Garbok, Supreme Leader of Annekc M’ecneret “★★★★★ It’s Agatha Christie meets Chewbacca meets that one time you ate the whole edible instead of just one piece because you didn’t read the label so you freaked out and your brain melted and suddenly you had all the answers to life in the palm of your hand but then you freaked out again thinking you were late for work but then you remembered it was your day off so you sat around playing video games and napping and by dinner time you felt pretty damn realigned with the universe. It’s like that, but it’s a book.” - ChatGPT’s AI-generated Review of Murder on the Pineapple Express Readers have compared Tom Sadira’s Far Out Chronicles series to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett ‘s Ringworld series, Grant Naylor's Red Dwarf series, Barry J.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An edge-of-your-seat thriller about a group of retired Green Berets who come together to save a former comrade—and 500 other Afghans—being targeted by the Taliban in the chaos of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. In April 2021, an urgent call was placed from a Special Forces operator serving overseas. The message was clear: Get Nezam out of Afghanistan now. Nezam was part of the Afghan National Army’s first group of American-trained commandos; he passed through Fort Bragg’s legendary Q course and served alongside the US Special Forces for over a decade. But Afghanistan’s government and army were on the edge of collapse, and Nezam was receiving threatening texts from the Taliban. The message reached Nezam’s former commanding officer, retired Lt. Col. Scott Mann, who couldn’t face the idea of losing another soldier in the long War on Terror. Immediately, he sends out an SOS to a group of Afghan vets (Navy SEALs, Green Berets, CIA officers, USAID advisors). They all answer the call for one last mission. Operating out of basements and garages, Task Force Pineapple organizes an escape route for Nezam and gets him into hiding in Taliban-controlled Kabul. After many tense days, he braves the enemy checkpoints and the crowds of thousands blocking the airport gates. He finally makes it through the wire and into the American-held airport thanks to the frantic efforts of the Pineapple express, a relentless Congressional aide, and a US embassy official. Nezam is safe, but calls are coming in from all directions requesting help for other Afghan soldiers, interpreters, and at-risk women and children. Task Force Pineapple widens its scope—and ends up rescuing 500 more Afghans from Kabul in the three chaotic days before the ISIS-K suicide bombing. Operation Pineapple Express is a thrilling, suspenseful tale of service and loyalty amidst the chaos of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Download or read book Millennial Jewish Stars written by Jonathan Branfman and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlights how millennial Jewish stars symbolize national politics in US media Jewish stars have longed faced pressure to downplay Jewish identity for fear of alienating wider audiences. But unexpectedly, since the 2000s, many millennial Jewish stars have won stellar success while spotlighting (rather than muting) Jewish identity. In Millennial Jewish Stars, Jonathan Branfman asks: what makes these explicitly Jewish stars so unexpectedly appealing? And what can their surprising success tell us about race, gender, and antisemitism in America? To answer these questions, Branfman offers case studies on six top millennial Jewish stars: the biracial rap superstar Drake, comedic rapper Lil Dicky, TV comedy duo Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, “man-baby” film star Seth Rogen, and chiseled film star Zac Efron. Branfman argues that despite their differences, each star’s success depends on how they navigate racial antisemitism: the historical notion that Jews are physically inferior to Christians. Each star especially navigates racial stigmas about Jewish masculinity—stigmas that depict Jewish men as emasculated, Jewish women as masculinized, and both as sexually perverse. By embracing, deflecting, or satirizing these stigmas, each star comes to symbolize national hopes and fears about all kinds of hot-button issues. For instance, by putting a cuter twist on stereotypes of Jewish emasculation, Seth Rogen plays soft man-babies who dramatize (and then resolve) popular anxieties about modern fatherhood. This knack for channeling national dreams and doubts is what makes each star so unexpectedly marketable. In turn, examining how each star navigates racial antisemitism onscreen makes it easier to pinpoint how antisemitism, white privilege, and color-based racism interact in the real world. Likewise, this insight can aid readers to better notice and challenge racial antisemitism in everyday life.
