The Second Sun: Volumes I & II by Kristof Morrow (30 Reviews)    Price verified 26 minutes ago

The plot of The Second Sun is an allegory for the financial inequality between the older and younger generations. There's an island paradise where there's elders living a second life after retiring from their human forms, and live amongst their chosen few, who also live for thousands of years in relative peace. However, only those welcome can actually approach the island and survive. Everyone else on earth is made to endure a game of thrones type world, except I omitted much of the overt cruelty you find in that series. I also forgo the notions of racism and sexism. l wanted to adopt the spirit of Tolkien, but expand that virtue of "anyone, no matter how small, can achieve great things," to every kind of human so it feels to be an adventure for everyone! I was diagnosed with Tourette's when I was 27, and so it's developed my understanding of the theft of agency and being marginalized for something I cannot control. It's also structured similarly to game of thrones, in that the first three chapters are different parts of the world with different characters, and you learn how they are related as the story progresses. The Second Sun is, above all things, an adventure made animate by hundreds of distinct characters across half a world, written to confess through prose and tale our tendencies poisoned by Dickensian bleakness, and to wholly ameliorate that cynicism by the light and courage of those who live and labor for a just peace.

Meet Eric. Eric is a teenager. He has a disability and struggles with walking and speaking. But Eric has a very special gift. And a hat. Unbeknownst to his schoolmates and even to his family, Eric is both savant and sage. But Eric is better known for his crutches, awkward speech and his battered green top hat. His premature wisdom and burgeoning writing talent finally get showcased in his increasingly popular but anonymously-written column in the school gazette. Eric's simple musings on secular ethics and how to be happy are aimed at his fellow adolescents who, like Eric, are struggling with the universal challenges of impending adulthood and caught in the grips of a drug-fuelled gang war and a rapidly-escalating arms race. Try as he may, hat or no hat, Eric's journalistic efforts will not be enough to arrest the build-up of animosity nor halt another tragic school shooting.

Left on Paradise by Kirk Adams (20 Reviews)    Price verified 26 minutes ago

Before Portland, there was Paradise. Following the stolen presidential election of 2000, 102 intrepid progressives, led by self-absorbed Hollywood star Ryan Godson and his kind-hearted wife Kit Fairchild, make good on their threat to abandon a corrupted society still under the spell of Puritan fanatics, Yankee traders, and southern slavers. Now, a new society will be founded: a new country among the nations. This will be a land in which feminists, liberals, environmentalists, multiculturalists, pacifists, socialists, communists, communitarians, and progressives of every persuasion will remain unthwarted by the opposition and oppression of Republicans, social conservatives, and constitutionalists. Left on Paradise is a sweeping epic about a band of idealists who have forsaken family and friend to build a perfect word on a remote island in the south Pacific. From the thrill of first hope to the brink of deadly catastrophe, Kirk Adams relentlessly puts the band of idealists in a world in which they can live out the iron logic of their beliefs and dreams -- unencumbered by conservative resistance or religious restraint. Yet, they bring to Paradise the moral limits of their own ideals and character and soon find that they themselves have brought evil to their Eden. With riveting twists and turns in the plot that mirror contemporary (and historical) American political experience, the author shares political fiction that speaks to the cultural questions and divisions that contemporary Americans face, even as he offers a vision of what must not be sought. It's May 2001 and the band of political pilgrims have sailed to a remote island in the Pacific to found a new country: a true State of Paradise. Numbering the same as the settlers of Plymouth and Jamestown, the idealists have marched straight out of the 1960s to build the Great Society suspended by Nixon, Reagan, and the Bush family. These pilgrims will show the world what it means to be Left on Paradise -- or so they ...

Eric's problem is that he's at war with nearly every woman in his life at the very moment he has grown to desire nothing more than the love of one girl. That is, his mother assigns him never-ending chores, his aunt taunts him as a male chauvinist piglet, and his sisters protest his frequent tinkling on the toilet seat. Most of all, he must face down classmate and nemesis Skinnydip -- who stands between Eric and the new girl to the neighborhood, the beautiful Lori Bloom. The Trouble with Girls in an exciting coming of age story in which a growing boy first perceives how the true desire of his heart is something -- someone -- greater than playing baseball and riding bikes with his boyhood friends.

See how boys scrounged for spending cash in old-fashioned families quick to provide love and discipline to their children, but slower yet to indulge mere boys anything more than food, clothing, and shelter.

Asareer's belief solidifies, and divine anecdotes about Krishna continue to enthral him. While the chasm between the viewpoints of both friends keeps widening, Krishna attains a God-like stature and comes to be feared by his opponents and revered by his devotees and sages alike. Meanwhile, rivalries explode between cousins. Kauravas, led by the determined Duryodhana, manipulate the king to their advantage while Pandavas fight for survival. Draupadi's entrance, forging a solid alliance between Pandavas and the powerful Panchala kingdom, adds a new twist to the story. And, through it all, the enigmatic Krishna emerges as the central figure, unfolding his own fascinating tryst with destiny. The game of one-up-manship between Kauavas and Pandavas, which resembled the opening stage of a chess game to Animish during the graduation ceremony of princes, moves into the next stage, the middle game. Kauravas and Pandavas were entangled in a prolonged fight over the chessboard of fate, with advantage shifting back and forth like in a bitter middle game of chess that does not produce a clear winner. Find inside the dramatic events of Krishna's battles with Jarasandha, the setting up of the Dwaraka kingdom, Draupadi's Swayamvara and her unconventional polyandrous marriage, the rise and fall of Indraprastha Empire, multiple marriages and battles of Krishna, the fortune-turning dice game where a wife was put on stake, and a host of other exciting events.
