By the Blood of Heroes by Joseph Nassise5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() At the tail end of 1917, the Germans introduced a new type of gas to the battlefield –T-Leiche, or “corpse gas” - and changed the face of the war by resurrecting the bodies of the dead, giving the enemy an almost unlimited source of fresh troops. Yup, we’re screwed.īy the Blood of Heroes by Joseph Nassise. As the nation descends into chaos, can they pool their resources, unlock a cure, and save the world? Three losers. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the fate of the nation seems to rest on the shoulders of three unlikely heroes: an abattoir worker whose love life is non-existent thanks to the stench of death that clings to him, a teenage vegan with eczema and a weird crush on his math teacher, and an inept journalist who wouldn’t recognise a scoop if she tripped over one. ![]() The story begins with a cow that just wouldn’t die, and quickly builds to an epidemic that transforms Britain’s livestock into slavering, flesh-craving four-legged zombies. In what is fast becoming an annual tradition (I know twice isn’t really a tradition, but if I whine enough about it, they’ll let me keep doing this for the next few years), I present you with my favourite zombie titles published this year.Īpocalypse Cow by Michael Logan is an outrageous take on the zombie apocalypse – and joint winner of the first Terry Pratchett First Novel Prize. It looks like the zombie apocalypse is still on the agenda, judging by the number of awesomely creepy new books we’ve seen come through our doors. As I wrote last year, zombies were coming to Winnipeg Public Library. ![]() Deal with the devil book kit rocha5/20/2023 ![]() The data could set Nina and her team up for years.Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. Knox has the perfect bait for a perfect trap: a lost Library of Congress server. The problem? Their hacker’s been kidnapped. Before the Devils leave town for good, they need a biochem hacker to stabilize the experimental implants that grant their superhuman abilities. ![]() Knox is a bitter, battle-weary supersoldier who leads the Silver Devils, an elite strike squad that chose to go AWOL rather than slaughter innocents. But altruism doesn’t pay the bills-raiding vaults and collecting sensitive data is where the real money is. She and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to help those in need. Nina is an information broker with a mission: to bring hope to the darkest corners of Atlanta. Too few live in well-protected isolation while the rest of us scrape by on the margins.

These are the people at the heart of Amity Shlaes's insightful and inspiring history of one of the most crucial events of the twentieth century.In The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes, one of the nation's most respected economic commentators, offers a striking reinterpretation of the Great Depression. Only through the stories of the common people who struggled during that era can we really understand how the nation endured. It's difficult today to imagine how America survived the Great Depression. ![]() The Necromancer's Dance by S.J.

Yet Flights manages to baffle, to make you scratch your head and try to find the proper words for it. In an era in which many books are summarized as X meets Y ( Game of Thrones meets The Cat in the Hat!), it is rare to be genuinely baffled by a description. I do not necessarily subscribe to the mantra of no spoilers - how else are you supposed to perform a critical analysis of certain texts? - but in the case of Olga Tokarczuk's Flights, translated by Jennifer Croft, the hard part is coming up with any spoilers. ![]() This was long before reviews appeared with the word "spoilers" at the top the age of ink on paper.
