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.

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.

Download or read book Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance written by Katherine Isobel Baxter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first critical study wholly devoted to Joseph Conrad's use of techniques associated with the literary tradition of romance, the author argues that Conrad's engagement with the genre invigorated his work throughout his career. Exploring the ways in which Conrad borrows from, alludes to, and subverts the tropes of romance, the author suggests that Conrad's ambivalent relationship with popular forms like the adventure novel is revealed in the way he uses romance conventions to disrupt narrative expectations and make visible ethical problems with Europe's colonial project. The author examines not only familiar novels like Lord Jim but also less-studied works such as Romance and The Rover, using Robert Miles's model of the 'philosophical romance' to show that for Conrad, romance is also philosophically engaged with issues of ideology. Her study enables a new appreciation of the ways in which Conrad continued to experiment, even in his later fiction, and of the ethical import of that aesthetic experimentation.

Download or read book The Sagan Conspiracy written by Donald L. Zygutis and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mainstream SETI scientists and ancient alien theorists don’t agree on much, but one opinion they share is that the undisputed authority on the possibility of alien existence was the late Carl Sagan (1934—1996), whose voluminous writings on the subject have had a profound influence on ETI research.But how many Carl Sagan fans know that while the renowned scientist was at Stanford University, he produced a controversial paper, funded by a NASA research grant, that concludes ancient alien intervention may have sparked human civilization? Author Donald Zygutis lays out a compelling case that points to a cover-up by the Pentagon and NASA, who may have buried it soon after it was written. How significant is the Stanford Paper? The answer may lie in another question: How would a science-backed theory and search strategy to guide the discovery of alien artifacts among our own ancient civilizations impact the worldwide institutions of government, religion, and culture?Recently rediscovered by the author, Sagan’s lost Stanford paper is the central theme of The Sagan Conspiracy. Groundbreaking research and paradigm-changing material challenges conventional thinking about the People’s Scientist—and maybe even the origins of human society. Sagan even conceived of the likelihood that the ancient Sumerian civilization had been visited and influenced by beings from other worlds as evidenced by ancient manuscripts, among other artifacts.As we celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Carl’s death, The Sagan Conspiracy is sure to fundamentally alter how the world thinks about extraterrestrials.
