Hard Rain by Andy Waddell (Riverside Press) (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

Franc Sousa's life is virtually perfect. In a future San Francisco, where the most important determination of success is the quality of the computer chip inserted in your nervous system, Franc has the best. His chip provides him instant access to all the information and entertainment the world has ever produced, and to a virtual game environment that feels more real than his actual life. It has also helped him develop his coding skills to a level where his future employment for the V.T.B., the company that runs everything, is assured. Even more important, chippers like him, less than 1% of the population, never experience pain, or sadness, or rage for longer than a few seconds at a time. And they never get sick: Franc expects to live hundreds of years, perhaps forever. But when an accident dislodges his chip, he begins to question everything he's ever known. He can't accept the doctor's explanation that the beautiful girl he saw after his accident was only a hallucination. When his longing for the girl of his vision spirals into a depression that lasts for weeks, Franc refuses to tell anyone that his chip is malfunctioning. He does not want to be fixed.

Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature (Literatures, Cultures, and the Environment) by Matthias Klestil (Palgrave Macmillan) (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

This open access book suggests new ways of reading nineteenth-century African American literature environmentally. Combining insights from ecocriticism, African American studies, and Foucauldian theory, Matthias Klestil examines forms of environmental knowledge in African American writing ranging from antebellum slave narratives and pamphlets to Charlotte Forten's journals, Booker T. Washington's autobiographies, and Charles W. Chesnutt's short fiction. The volume highlights how literary forms of environmental knowledge in the African American tradition were shaped by the histories of slavery and race, mainstream environmental writing traditions, and African American forms of expression and intertextuality. Turning to the Underground Railroad, debates over education and home-building, and the aesthetics of the pastoral and the georgic, Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature provides an original perspective on the African American ecoliterary traditionthat uncovers new facets of canonical and understudied texts and offers new directions for ecocriticism and African American studies.

The Culling: The Luna's Vampire Prince Book 1 by Bella Moondragon (6 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Prince Rafe leans over me, holding himself up on one elbow as he gazes at my face. I feel his eyes wandering over every surface from my brow to my eyes, down my nose, to my lips and chin, and then returning to hold my gaze for a second. The small smile at the corner of his mouth makes me think he likes what he sees. His hand is cool when it brushes a loose curl from my cheek, but I don't jerk away from him. I have no idea what's going on. I don't understand why I'm here. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. It seems like a lot of powerful people want me -- dead or alive. And yet, all I can think about right now is how badly I want this vampire's hands on my body. *** I live in a desolate village on the edge of the Vampire King's lands. This used to be wolf shifter territory, but now, we are just trying to survive. When I mess up and find myself in a culling, I know I'm dead. No wolf shifters ever survive these events. And after the stunt I pulled in the middle of the village, Prince Rafe probably wants me dead. Is it a good thing or a bad thing when a vampire looks at you like you're a snack? Something tells me, once I reach the castle, I'll be missing my miserable existence in the village. But then -- it turns out I have no freaking idea who I even am, and when the royals start referring to me as Princess Ainslee, I realize my life is about to take a turn -- for better or worse. Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger. You will need to read Books 2 and 3 to finish Ainslee and Rafe's tale.(But it's so good, you'll want to keep reading!)
