Book excerpt: This is the story of three foster brothers who awake into a destroyed New York after a life-changing explosion destroys their home. Separated from their family amidst the chaos that the explosion created, the foster siblings find that they posses newfound abilities, known as Stigmas, that may have been the result of the explosion. Upon attempting to find their family, they are attacked by strange, mutant creatures and are captured by an unknown organization whose intention for them is unclear. Upon their capture, the siblings attempt an escape, which merely turned for the worst. They are then saved by a mysterious man who goes by the name of Mr. Sun who agrees to help them find their family so long as they aid him and his organization, HARMONY, in their quest to seek out the culprits responsible for the terroristic attack on New York. Leaving them with the choice to either hunt or fight, the siblings begrudgingly agree to join HARMONY. As members of the organization HARMONY, Kyle, Marcus, and Allen form the first response team of mutants in Machi City, New York, a man-made island that is the mirror image of New York City itself. During their time as operatives, they are assigned their first mission that leads to an encounter with a mysterious gang known as the Alley Rats who have managed to create a serum that transforms people into horrifying mutants. Time and time again, they would meet in battle, but it is not till Allen is captured by the gang that the team takes the fight to Alley Rat?s home?an abandoned factory in Manhattan. It is here that the team defeats the Rats for the last time and discovers new abilities with only more questions to be asked.

Book excerpt: New York Public Library Book for the Teenager New York Public Library Book to Remember PSLA Young Adult Top 40 Nonfiction Titles of the Year "Engaging...a lively, informative compendium of facts, theories, and musings."-Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Behold the rat, dirty and disgusting! Robert Sullivan turns the lowly rat into the star of this most perversely intriguing, remarkable, and unexpectedly elegant New York Times bestseller. Love them or loathe them, rats are here to stay-they are city dwellers as much as (or more than) we are, surviving on the effluvia of our society. In Rats, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat. Sullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob. Funny, wise, sometimes disgusting but always compulsively readable, Rats earns its unlikely place alongside the great classics of nature writing. With an all-new Afterword by the author

Download or read book Rats written by Robert Sullivan and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surprisingly funny and compulsively readable, Rats is an unlikely account of a year spent in a garbage-strewn alley in lower Manhattan. Sullivan spends the year with a notebook and night-vision goggles, hunting for fabled rat-kings, trapping a rat of his own, and trying (and failing) to conquer his own fear of rats. He meets the exterminators, garbage men and civic activists who play their part in the centuries-old war between human city-dweller and wild city rat. He travels to a bizarre Midwestern conference on rats that brings together the leading experts on rat history, behaviour, and control (did you know that one pair of rats can produce 15,000 descendants in a year? That rats' teeth are harder than steel?). In the process, he discovers the many ways in which rats' lives mirror those of humans. Sullivan's unusual and absorbing book earns a place alongside the classics of travel writing.

Book excerpt: Mick Conway is tired of mourning his mom and wondering when his dad will finally come home. He’s tired of moving to live with yet another aunt or uncle and having to change schools and friends each time he moves. And, as much as he loves his baby sister Emilia, he might be a little less tired if somebody else would take a turn getting her back to sleep at night. He isn’t tired of electricity, functional sewer systems, or a world with some respect for the laws of physics. But he doesn’t realize how much he cherishes those things until he’s mysteriously dropped somewhere that doesn’t have any of them—though it does have time travel, faceless interlopers skulking in the shadows, and somebody with a sinister plan that could prove deadly. Can Mick help thwart that plan? And can he do so without giving up on getting back home?

Download or read book Assata written by Assata Shakur and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Deftly written...a spellbinding tale.' The New York Times In 2013 Assata Shakur, founding member of the Black Liberation Army, former Black Panther and godmother of Tupac Shakur, became the first ever woman to make the FBI's most wanted terrorist list. Assata Shakur's trial and conviction for the murder of a white state trooper in the spring of 1973 divided America. Her case quickly became emblematic of race relations and police brutality in the USA. While Assata's detractors continue to label her a ruthless killer, her defenders cite her as the victim of a systematic, racist campaign to criminalize and suppress black nationalist organizations. This intensely personal and political autobiography reveals a sensitive and gifted woman. With wit and candour Assata recounts the formative experiences that led her to embrace a life of activism. With pained awareness she portrays the strengths, weaknesses and eventual demise of black and white revolutionary groups at the hands of the state. A major contribution to the history of black liberation, destined to take its place alongside The Autobiography of Malcolm X and the works of Maya Angelou.
