Download or read book The Scar written by China Miéville and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2002-06-25 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mythmaker of the highest order, China Miéville has emblazoned the fantasy novel with fresh language, startling images, and stunning originality. Set in the same sprawling world of Miéville’s Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning novel, Perdido Street Station, this latest epic introduces a whole new cast of intriguing characters and dazzling creations. Aboard a vast seafaring vessel, a band of prisoners and slaves, their bodies remade into grotesque biological oddities, is being transported to the fledgling colony of New Crobuzon. But the journey is not theirs alone. They are joined by a handful of travelers, each with a reason for fleeing the city. Among them is Bellis Coldwine, a renowned linguist whose services as an interpreter grant her passage—and escape from horrific punishment. For she is linked to Isaac Dan der Grimnebulin, the brilliant renegade scientist who has unwittingly unleashed a nightmare upon New Crobuzon. For Bellis, the plan is clear: live among the new frontiersmen of the colony until it is safe to return home. But when the ship is besieged by pirates on the Swollen Ocean, the senior officers are summarily executed. The surviving passengers are brought to Armada, a city constructed from the hulls of pirated ships, a floating, landless mass ruled by the bizarre duality called the Lovers. On Armada, everyone is given work, and even Remades live as equals to humans, Cactae, and Cray. Yet no one may ever leave. Lonely and embittered in her captivity, Bellis knows that to show dissent is a death sentence. Instead, she must furtively seek information about Armada’s agenda. The answer lies in the dark, amorphous shapes that float undetected miles below the waters—terrifying entities with a singular, chilling mission. . . . China Miéville is a writer for a new era—and The Scar is a luminous, brilliantly imagined novel that is nothing short of spectacular. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from China Miéville’s Embassytown.

Download or read book Underneath It All written by Kathryn R. Biel and published by Kathryn R. Biel. This book was released on with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My life is perfect. No, it really is. After the chaos in my house growing up, you can bet I’ve worked hard for all this perfection. I’ve got it all. A husband who’s as detail-oriented as I am, two great kids, a fantastic house that’s social media ready at all times. The only thing not-so-perfect is that I have a slight imperfection in my genes and that caused me to develop breast cancer in my 30s. I was not going to let a silly thing like genetics and cancer stop me. I was proactive and got that all taken care of before I got sick. A small bump in my perfect road. But that bump has become a massive sink hole when my breast implants are recalled, and I discover my husband has been going over his details with his girlfriend. In the blink of an eye, everything I’ve worked for is gone. I’m facing health crisis after health crisis, a failed marriage, and rebelling children. And to make matters worse, my only source of solace—my BRCA support group—has been infiltrated by a man. With everything exposed, there’s no way I can keep up this façade of perfection that’s defined my existence for so long. Maybe it’s time to consider that it’s what’s underneath it all that really matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the lights that have guided us go out, people begin to wander in the twilight, seeking their place of belonging. In these stories, set in recent times, but before the blinding glare of social media, Roger Scruton describes the remembered landscapes of people who are not where they belong, and not quite where they wished to be. With unfailing lightness of touch, Scruton portrays characters who cannot let go of the past: Yusuf, set on a path of revenge that bears no relation to his teenage life; Bill who wanders the world in his imagination but cannot leave his suburban living room; Sarah, whose insane mission to save the Lebanese Christians brings disaster to the only person she loves; Veronica, whose determination to look the truth in the face wraps her young life in deception—all of them lost to their surroundings and yet touchingly seeking a home in them. For lovers of the short story, these exquisite pictures of modern people will be cherished for their insight and poetic drama.
