Who are the truly blessed of our society? Who do we value, and why do we value them? For some, the comfort of faith gives no reason for inquisition. Others find warmth in the pursuit of knowledge. There remains a third party, a forgotten party that live in the wasteland between the poles. This is the story of Dinah Dempster, a woman cresting the age of thirty, shredding her provocative dress for wadded bills. She feels the claustrophobia of simplicity upon one side and the shredding of her remaining innocence on the other. She is so remarkable and so ordinary, so equally unique and pedestrian, so welcomed and so outcast. Amid the thundering house music, senses softened by the sips of seven dollar drinks, you stare with unblinking eyes upon Dinah's decadent form of beauty and filth. For ten dollars she dances in your lap. As she leaves with your money in hand, she is cemented in your mind as a thing, an object. What would be Dinah's description as she sits in judgment of you?

The vessel of dishonor is darkness; destruction follows in her wake, and sometimes death. She is a dark prophetess who is no less justice than her counterpart. The world is soon to be at war, the prize being dominion of the entire Earth. Only they can prevent the unthinkable, two opposite sides to a coin, light and darkness, yin and yang, who alone have the ability to understand one another in perfect harmony.

An unbeatable enemy. A planet on the brink. And a squad with a taste for revenge. In this incendiary new military science fiction novel, an infantry squad crisscrosses the globe on a search-and-destroy mission against a relentless foe. After cry pilot Maseo Kaytu's white-knuckled victory over the mysterious lampreys at Ayko Base, military command develops new weapons and a new strategy. The updated mission is simple: pinpoint the Hatchery, the “spawn point” of the lampreys, and blast it into a fine powder. Kaytu's battle-tested squad tracks the enemy from remote bases to elegant cities to subterranean caverns, but the lampreys start hitting harder and faster. While the squad is winning battles, Earth is losing the war. When the search for the Hatchery shines a light on Kaytu's insurgent past, he faces a terrible truth. There is no line he won't cross to protect his squad. Then a vicious counterattack teaches him another lesson: you can't save everyone. In the end, all you can do is the job.

This unique tie-in to the major motion picture Oceans -- coming this April from Disney & National Geographic -- explores the health of our oceans, and what we can do to improve it. More than 75 percent of the globe is covered by the oceans. It is sometimes difficult to understand why it is called Planet Earth rather than Planet Ocean. Since half the world's human population lives within a stone's throw of an ocean coastline, the oceans' health is increasingly important. Rich with resources and potential -- as a source of renewable energy, new drugs, drinking water -- for years we have treated them as both infinite and undamageable. But they are not. Over-fishing, climate change, pollution, acidification, and more have put the world's oceans and marine life at great risk. Oceans gathers some of the most insightful visionaries, explorers, and ocean lovers -- marine biologists, politicians, environmentalists, fishermen, sportsmen, deep divers, and more -- in a unique anthology, in which each speaks to a unique aspect of our world's most dimly understood dimension.
