The post-apocalyptic world isn't that bad. Sure, there are mutants.

Only a fully trained post-apocalyptic nomadic warrior can stop them. Two have offered their services. One is invited to help. The other is sent to roam the wasteland. Did the townspeople make the right decision? Will they be saved? Did they find a shortstop? What's with all the bears? Find out in Post-Apocalyptic Nomadic Warriors, the first book in the Duck and Cover Adventures. It's the end of the world as you've never known it.

The author of the Path of the Thunderbird series teams up the world’s best thief and a Holy Knight on a quest for blood across the Revived Earth. Narcissist, sociopath, and shameless backstabber Jubal Van Zandt is the best damn thief in the history of the Revived Earth . . . and he won’t shut up about it. But not everybody in the swampy, soggy, feudal future approves of Jubal’s vocation. The Guild—the religious fanatics who helped rebuild civilization after the collapse—in particular are waiting for their opportunity to slip the noose around his neck. Which is why when the renowned Guild knight Carina Xiao—aka the Bloodslinger—contacts Jubal about an off-the-books job that violates Guild Law, he’s too intrigued to say no. He is the best damn thief in the history of the Revived Earth, after all. Part bizarro ecopunk, part outworld thriller, part odd-couple roadtrip, Revenge of the Bloodslinger is a futurepunk quest for blood and betrayal across the Revived Earth. “Funny, sexy, action-packed, and a little bit cruel, with heartwarming moments of sincerity.” —D.J. Bodden, author of the Black Year series “What makes this a fascinating book to read are the personalities of the two lead characters . . . A refreshingly good read.” —SFcrowsnest

A new selection of foundational works from the influential philosopher who developed the theory of mimetic desire Why do humans have such a remarkable capacity for conflict? From ancient foundational myths to the modern era, the visionary thinker Rene Girard identified the constant, competing desires at the heart of our existence - desires that we copy from others, igniting a contagious violence. This remarkable and accessible new selection of Girard's work shows him as a writer for our times, as he ranges over human imitation and rivalry, herd behaviour, scapegoating and how our violent longings play out in stories, from Shakespeare to religion. 'The explosion of social media, the resurgence of populism, and the increasing virulence of reciprocal violence all suggest that the contemporary world is becoming more and more recognizably "Girardian" in its behaviour' The New York Review of Books Edited with an Introduction by Cynthia L. Haven
