Now when they are needed most, Lilly and Quincy Swansong are worlds apart—both physically and mentally. However, they must set aside their personal struggles for one last time to deal with an ancient evil corrupting the hearts of mankind. Or they’ll die trying. Luckily, the twins are not alone. Across the entire globe, those too strong for Haven’s brainwashing and too fond of the Earth are stoking the flames of rebellion. Unlikely alliances are made, and help arrives from distant places: from beneath the sea, from inside the earth, from the afterlife, and from the spaces between worlds. As Lilly, Quincy, and their friends dive into Europe’s darkest corners in search of answers, four individuals rise to lead the Apocalypse Rebellion. But who are these mysterious four, and can they be trusted? Yet even greater mysteries are afoot. Why is the resurrected corpse of Witchfynder General Matthew Hopkins possessed? And what supernatural event did the late Emily and Tobias Swansong really experience years ago? Lilly and Quincy must piece the puzzle together before it’s too late.

Book excerpt: A new Nirreth prince has risen, and he wants all the humans dead. In the fourth and final chapter of the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series, Jet Tetsuo, famous "Samurai" of the Rings, returns to Earth in chains, now the property of her worst enemy, her friends scattered, on the run or dead. A new Nirreth Prince has usurped the throne, a fanatic determined to bring back the "old ways," when Nirreth ate humans, murdered them for sport, and raped them with impunity. That same prince gifted Jet to Ringmaster Trazen, as a reward for helping him take the throne. It might be easier if Jet could just hate her new owner. If Trazen beat her or mistreated her... or heck, would even just talk to her. But far from giving her more insight into Trazen's mind, living with the Ringmaster only reveals him to be a bigger enigma than before. When the new prince announces his intention to annihilate most of the human race, Jet must decide just how far she's willing to go to stop him. With the lives of both races in the balance, she might have to trust the very people she swore she'd never trust... or risk losing everyone she's ever cared about. * Praise for THE ALIEN APOCALYPSE SERIES: "SO looking forward to the rest of the series, you have me totally hooked and craving more..." ~ Shannon Mayer, USA Today bestselling author "A must-read for sci-fi enthusiasts!" ~ The Masquerade Crew "Protagonists and antagonists are never simplistic - they have personal agendas and, as a reader, I can never quite predict what will happen..." ~ SM Johnson, author of the DeVante series "[A] detailed world with plenty of action, mystery, and a strong yet believable young female protagonist..." ~ Tamela Viglione, award-winning author of Buck * THE REBELLION is the fourth book in the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski.

Download or read book The Apocalypse of Empire written by Stephen J. Shoemaker and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Apocalypse of Empire, Stephen J. Shoemaker argues that earliest Islam was a movement driven by urgent eschatological belief that focused on the conquest, or liberation, of the biblical Holy Land and situates this belief within a broader cultural environment of apocalyptic anticipation. Shoemaker looks to the Qur'an's fervent representation of the imminent end of the world and the importance Muhammad and his earliest followers placed on imperial expansion. Offering important contemporary context for the imperial eschatology that seems to have fueled the rise of Islam, he surveys the political eschatologies of early Byzantine Christianity, Judaism, and Sasanian Zoroastrianism at the advent of Islam and argues that they often relate imperial ambition to beliefs about the end of the world. Moreover, he contends, formative Islam's embrace of this broader religious trend of Mediterranean late antiquity provides invaluable evidence for understanding the beginnings of the religion at a time when sources are generally scarce and often highly problematic. Scholarship on apocalyptic literature in early Judaism and Christianity frequently maintains that the genre is decidedly anti-imperial in its very nature. While it may be that early Jewish apocalyptic literature frequently displays this tendency, Shoemaker demonstrates that this quality is not characteristic of apocalypticism at all times and in all places. In the late antique Mediterranean as in the European Middle Ages, apocalypticism was regularly associated with ideas of imperial expansion and triumph, which expected the culmination of history to arrive through the universal dominion of a divinely chosen world empire. This imperial apocalypticism not only affords an invaluable backdrop for understanding the rise of Islam but also reveals an important transition within the history of Western doctrine during late antiquity.

Download or read book The Slave s Rebellion written by Adélékè Adéèkó and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Episodes of slave rebellions such as Nat Turner's are central to speculations on the trajectory of black history and the goal of black spiritual struggles. Using fiction, history, and oral poetry drawn from the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa, this book analyzes how writers reinterpret episodes of historical slave rebellion to conceptualize their understanding of an ideal "master-less" future. The texts range from Frederick Douglass's The Heroic Slave and Alejo Carpentier's The Kingdom of this World to Yoruba praise poetry and novels by Nigerian writers Adebayo Faleti and Akinwumi Isola. Each text reflects different "national" attitudes toward the historicity of slave rebellions that shape the ways the texts are read. This is an absorbing book about the grip of slavery and rebellion on modern black thought.

Download or read book The Apocalypse in Germany written by Klaus Vondung and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in German in 1988, The Apocalypse in Germany is now available for the first time in English. A fitting subject for the dawn of the new millennium, the apocalypse has intrigued humanity for the last two thousand years, serving as both a fascinating vision of redemption and a profound threat. A cross-disciplinary study, The Apocalypse in Germany analyzes fundamental aspects of the apocalypse as a religious, political, and aesthetic phenomenon. Author Klaus Vondung draws from religious, philosophical, and political texts, as well as works of art and literature. Using classic Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts as symbolic and historical paradigms, Vondung determines the structural characteristics and the typical images of the apocalyptic worldview. He clarifies the relationship between apocalyptic visions and utopian speculations and explores the question of whether modern apocalypses can be viewed as secularizations of the Judeo-Christian models. Examining sources from the eighteenth century to the present, Vondung considers the origins of German nationalism, World War I, National Socialism, and the apocalyptic tendencies in Marxism as well as German literature--from the fin de siècle to postmodernism. His analysis of the existential dimension of the apocalypse explores the circumstances under which particular individuals become apocalyptic visionaries and explains why the apocalyptic tradition is so prevalent in Germany. The Apocalypse in Germany offers an interdisciplinary perspective that will appeal to a broad audience. This book will also be of value to readers with an interest in German studies, as it clarifies the riddles of Germany's turbulent history and examines the profile of German culture, particularly in the past century.

Download or read book Rebellion in America written by Anthony DiMaggio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of rising inequality and plutocratic government, citizens’ movements are emerging with growing frequency to offer populist challenges to the declining living standards of masses of Americans, and to protest the conditions through which individuals suffer in poor communities across the country. This book looks at the progression of modern social uprisings in the post-2008 period, including the Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, the Bernie Sanders “Revolution,” Trump’s populism, the anti-Trump revolt, and #MeToo. A key theme is that populism and mass anger at the political-economic status quo take different forms depending on whether the protests are progressive-left or right-wing in orientation. Employing theories of elite politics and pluralism, and using a mixed methods approach, Anthony DiMaggio harnesses his rich experience with movement politics and his engagement with a wide range of media and public opinion data to explain where we are today and how we got here – always with an eye on moving ahead. Aimed at courses on social movements wherever they’re taught, this book also offers general readers insight into contemporary politics and protest.
Download or read book Apocalypse Observed written by John R. Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-22 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apocalypse Observed is about religious violence. By analyzing five of the most notorious cults of recent years, the authors present a fascinating and revealing account of religious sects and conflict. Cults covered include: * the apocalypse at Jonestown * the Branch Davidians at Waco * the violent path of Aum Shinrikyo * the mystical apocalypse of the Solar Temple * the mass suicide of Heaven's Gate. Through comparative case studies and in-depth analysis, the authors show how religious violence can erupt not simply from the beliefs of the cult followers or the personalities of their leaders, but also from the way in which society responds to the cults in its midst.
