Adrift in a failing marriage, Maya Wise is alone in a strange world far from home. Until, intrigued by an elderly Chinese man carrying a caged nightingale she begins to follow him through the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. Drawn to Ken Tiger and his painful tale of lost love in wartime Shanghai, Maya begins to piece together other stories, other histories from the world around her, and so comes to imagine another life, a different future for herself. A eulogy for the end of love, The Last Sky is also a moving meditation on exile, memory and the ways in which we reconcile ourselves with loss.

The world of Tectonic is dying. A mysterious disease known as Rockflesh is rapidly spreading throughout the lands, turning men into monsters. Humanity seeks answers in an existence that's barely surviving. At the base of such mysteries lies The Chain, a massive construct that holds the world suspended above the Void. Some believe the Creator holds the end of the anomaly. Others doubt. Liam, a mercenary leading a small group of warriors, is hired to take a stranger named Rezin to The Chain. The task is daunting and surrounded by questions, but these are desperate times. When their journey begins, a rumor of a madman spreads-a man named Desmond who seeks to destroy The Chain and plunge the world into the Void below. As Liam and his small group battle through the nightmare-plagued lands, the answers to Tectonic's mysteries begin to unravel. Who is Desmond? Why is he so hellbent on severing the world from its stem? What caused the disease known as Rockflesh? And what's really up there, past The Chain, beyond the rolling ceiling of cloud?

Unsettling the World

| Genre | : Political Science |
| ISBN | : 1442260300 |
Unsettling the World is the first book-length treatment of Edward Said’s influential cultural criticism from the perspective of a political theorist. Arguing that the generative power of Said’s thought extends well beyond Orientalism, the book explores Said’s writings on the experience of exile, the practice of “contrapuntal” criticism, and the illuminating potential of worldly humanism. Said’s critical vision, Morefield argues, provides a fresh perspective on debates in political theory about subjectivity, global justice, identity, and the history of political thought. Most importantly, she maintains, Said’s approach offers theorists a model of how to bring the insights developed through historical analyses of imperialism and anti-colonialism to bear on critiques of contemporary global crises and the politics of American foreign policy.

Despite their loss of faith in themselves, the Asters are still expected to protect the humans on the Surface of the world. They must pull together to stand any chance against the very first King they have ever faced.
