Book excerpt: Shift is coming. So is the end of the world as we know it. The battle over Shift — the electoral process that will decide the nation’s fate — is heating up ... while at the same time something is happening within the Beam network: a thing coming alive, its power unchecked and out of control. Micah and Isaac Ryan, the brothers sitting at each political party’s head, have resorted to tooth-and-nail tactics to eke out as many votes as possible. The Beau Monde observes everything, sticking their fingers in the pie only to change the flavor to their personal tastes. Everyone else has one simple goal: surviving the battle. Kai struggles with a job bigger than she’s ever faced, against a foe she can’t hope to outwit. Dominic, his law enforcement job precarious after betraying the drug runners he once smuggled for, must keep his head down even as he pokes his nose into the game of higher politics. And Nicolai, the unwitting harbinger of the Beam itself, concocts his own plots to overthrow the arrogant Ryans once and for all. Yet all their efforts — great and small alike — will pale in comparison to the oncoming storm, the cataclysmic return of one of history’s greatest figures. Someone from the Beam’s very conception is about to appear anew, and with humanity interconnected like never before, their footsteps will rock the NAU like a meteor strike. Shift is finally here. But even those who think they control its sway are not prepared for what happens next. ★★★★★ "Another wonderful season of The Beam, can't wait to see where else this awesome series goes! The characters and great, the plot always thickens, then more is revealed, then into the thick of it again. I read everything about this universe I can get my hands on because it is so close to reality that I can almost taste it." -- Daniel Drooger ★★★★★ "Absolutely loved this book. So many questions answered, and amazed at how much depth this story had. I was completely immersed in this whole series, and just... wanted... more." -- Amy

Download or read book The Bialy Pimps written by Johnny B. Truant and published by Johnny B. Truant. This book was released on with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is good at Bingham's Bagel Deli. The loathed customers are dealt the poor treatment they seem to deserve, bad rap music is played loudly, and The Rat is killed often enough to stem his immortality. And the insane homeless regulars -- like drunken Little Johnny Redbeard -- keep life interesting. When a rival tricks the crew into thinking that the deli's closure is imminent, they do the only logical thing: instead of giving up, they decide to go out in a blaze of glory, handing their customers the humiliation and abuse that the pesky social contract had previously forbidden. But as insults turn to assaults and snide remarks turn to harassment and pro wrestling moves, a strange thing happens. Business goes up -- way up -- as people come back in droves, begging for more. But the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and as pop-culture welcomes the parody musical group "The Bialy Pimps" and its frivolous merchandising machine -- and as the crew pushes to see how much bad behavior society will accept -- the violent road to fame begins to feel like a runaway train, out of control and headed for destruction. The Bialy Pimps is a tale that could only be spun by the twisted, vaguely profane mind of outspoken blogger Johnny B. Truant. Combining hilarity with questions about conformity and whether the tail or the dog is the one doing the wagging, this story can't help but raise a question for the reader: If the rest of your friends decided to submit to the Face-Kicking Machine, would you do it too?

It’s why she went all-in, trusting the company’s success to make her degree moot. Law school was for her mother anyway. After Rebirth goes public, she and Keith will be rich enough to do whatever they want...like working on her award-winning student screenplay - the real dream she gave up to grow the business. But with the finish line in sight (and creative dreams dancing in Annie’s head), Keith starts to act suspiciously. He’s been spending a lot of time with his attractive lawyer, working late nights. After all the lean years and sacrifices, it’s just not fair. Keith would never cheat, would he? But if not, why is he acting like a cheater? Annie isn’t usually vengeful, but her hand’s been forced. She faces a decision: Should she let Keith play her like a sucker, or should she be strong like the heroine of her screenplay? Should she sit by like a chump...or make a deal with Rebirth’s competitors to get what she deserves? In the heat of an affair, nothing is what it seems - and Hell hath no fury like an artist scorned.
