Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepare yourself for a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt, one of the most creative, insightful, and hysterical voices on the entertainment scene today. Widely known for his roles in the films Big Fan and Ratatouille, as well as the television hit The King of Queens, Patton Oswalt—a staple of Comedy Central—has been amusing audiences for decades. Now, with Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, he offers a fascinating look into his most unusual, and lovable, mindscape. Oswalt combines memoir with uproarious humor, from snow forts to Dungeons & Dragons to gifts from Grandma that had to be explained. He remembers his teen summers spent working in a movie Cineplex and his early years doing stand-up. Readers are also treated to several graphic elements, including a vampire tale for the rest of us and some greeting cards with a special touch. Then there’s the book’s centerpiece, which posits that before all young creative minds have anything to write about, they will home in on one of three story lines: zombies, spaceships, or wastelands. Oswalt chose wastelands, and ever since he has been mining our society’s wasteland for perversion and excess, pop culture and fatty foods, indie rock and single-malt scotch. Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is an inventive account of the evolution of Patton Oswalt’s wildly insightful worldview, sure to indulge his legion of fans and lure many new admirers to his very entertaining “wasteland.”

Download or read book The Defenestration of Bob T Hash III written by David Deans and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-07-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a picture-postcard town, in the sunny suburban home of Bob T. Hash III, something altogether strange and amazing has occurred: An African gray parrot (and beloved pet) named Comenius has suddenly and unexpectedly transformed into a man. It seems this unassuming exotic bird, heretofore content to mind its own business, has miraculously metamorphosed into the spitting image of his unsuspecting master, Bob T. Hash III–right down to the smartly pressed suit, dashing necktie, and sensible horn-rims. As luck (or some darker design?) would have it, no one witnesses this astonishing feat of shapeshifting. And in a serendipitous twist of fate (luck’s fickle cousin), the genuine Bob T. Hash III–having apparently absconded to Acapulco with his charming assistant–is conveniently AWOL. Thus the coast is clear for the puzzled (but not entirely displeased) parrot to exit the wings and do what parrots do best: imitate their owners–a charade the avian impostor rises to effortlessly, slipping with nary a misstep into the shoes, the career, and even the marital bed (!) of Bob T. Hash III. But when, having taken the reins as CEO of the Acme International Institute of Languages, he stumbles upon a heinous act of corporate (and grammatical) sabotage, Comenius begins to suspect he’s being stalked–by himself–and it suddenly looks as if his best laid plans might just be heading south. Think Kafka, inverted, upended, and gleefully reverse-engineered by Monty Python. Think Borges, deconstructed by Lewis Carroll and reassembled with spare parts scavenged from The New Yorker and MAD. Analogies abound, yet nothing can truly compare to the comic broadsides, dazzling wordplay, cheeky wit, and wholly original flights of imagination working their magic in David Deans’s inventive new novel.
Download or read book Marrow written by Robert Reed and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A select crew accepts the dangerous mission to explore a planet hidden in a massive spaceship in this space opera adventure by a New York Times bestseller. “Marrow is magnificent. It combines epic sweep with living characters and a depth of vision that we see all too seldom.” —Jack McDevitt The Ship has roamed the universe for longer than any of the immortal crew can recall, its true purpose and origins unknown. It is larger than many planets, housing thousands of alien races and just as many secrets. Now one of those secrets has been discovered: at the center of the Ship is . . . a planet. Marrow. But when a team of the Ship’s best and brightest are sent down to investigate, will they unlock the secrets of its creation—or will they be destroyed by the forces that have hidden Marrow for millennia and bring doom to everyone on board? Hugo and Nebula Award–nominated author Robert Reed spins an extraordinary epic of adventure and wonder on an incredible scale in this novel based on his acclaimed novella. “A bold work by a visionary writer.” —David Brin “With Marrow, Robert Reed has written a space opera for the new century, an interstellar opus as mind-boggling as the vast starship he elegantly depicts. E. E. “Doc” Smith has found his successor.” —Allen Steele “With his command of prose, characterization, and ideas, Robert Reed is the new century’s most compelling SF voice. Marrow is the highest of high concepts, one of the most original visions in a long while.” —Stephen Baxter

To make things even worse, she now has to go to public school. It doesn’t take Meg long to realize that there’s something weird about Peter, the boy next door. He quotes statistics like a parrot, leading Meg to believe he has a computer where his brain should be! When she sees Peter sneaking out of his bedroom to disappear into the bush behind his house in the middle of the night, she decides to follow him the next time to discover where he goes. If she had known what was hidden in that clearing in the bush, perhaps she might not have been so eager to discover his secret.
