When the league uses her celebrity secret identity to infiltrate a gala, she takes the opportunity to flaunt her skills as an operative. Mary's decision to bend protocol results in the loss of a dangerous artifact — one that could grant her the power she lacks. Sidelined by the league for going rogue, she pursues the power-granting stone without backup. But she's not the only one looking for the artifact. If she can't secure it, superpowers will be available to the highest bidder — and the league's anonymity could become a thing of the past.

Between her motley band of cranky heroes and abilities she barely understands, she just might lose control. With a mad scientist on the loose and powerful enemies lurking in the wings, that's simply not an option. TEAM Together with their questionable crew, these would-be heroes must untangle the past to secure the future—or allow a dangerous new world order to rise.

Download or read book The New Routledge Companion to Science Fiction written by Mark Bould and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Routledge Companion to Science Fiction provides an overview of the study of science fiction across multiple academic fields. It offers a new conceptualisation of the field today, marking the significant changes that have taken place in sf studies over the past 15 years. Building on the pioneering research in the first edition, the collection reorganises historical coverage of the genre to emphasise new geographical areas of cultural production and the growing importance of media beyond print. It also updates and expands the range of frameworks that are relevant to the study of science fiction. The periodisation has been reframed to include new chapters focusing on science fiction produced outside the Anglophone context, including South Asian, Latin American, Chinese and African diasporic science fiction. The contributors use both well- established critical and theoretical approaches and embrace a range of new ones, including biopolitics, climate crisis, critical ethnic studies, disability studies, energy humanities, game studies, medical humanities, new materialisms and sonic studies. This book is an invaluable resource for students and established scholars seeking to understand the vast range of engagements with science fiction in scholarship today.

Filled with action-packed superheroics, drama, and corporate/political intrigue, Sympathy-B is a science fiction action thriller that expands the possibilities of who we are and who we can be. (For teens and adults) READER REVIEWS (from previous editions) "The novel is filled with epic battles, villains, politics, and a love story that (without giving too much away) is refreshing in its approach...an exciting Sci Fi story that is character driven." "The plot could have quickly been a cheap copy of the recent X-Men movies, but the similarity to Xavier's School for the Gifted is minor and takes off with teens/YA's learning their powers and in search of one taken. The pace is great and the story [is] full of tense moments...A solidly written and entertaining read for sure." "The characters are actual human beings, not cookie-cutter action figures...The author tenders plausible scientific explanations (meaning science fiction explanations, of course) regarding the origin and development of a variety of superpowers. In fact, the book is half exploration of these scientific principles and their effect on the psyches of the characters and half high-grade action...I'm suggesting that others who don't care for superheroes give it a try also."
