It was just another Tuesday morning when she walked into the office—young, as I suspected they all might be, another dark brunette with some assistance and enough eye black to match up to Cleopatra. And who am I? I'm Ray, the world's last robot, famed and feared in equal measure, which suits me just fine—after all, the last place you'd expect to find Hollywood's best hit man is in the plain light of day. Raymond Electromatic is good at his job, the lone employee of the Electromatic Detective Agency—except for Ada, office gal and super-computer, the constant voice in Ray's inner ear. Ray might have taken up a new line of work, but money is money, after all, and he was programmed to make a profit. Besides, with his twenty-four-hour memory-tape limits, he sure can keep a secret. When a familiar-looking woman arrives at the agency wanting to hire Ray to find a missing movie star, he's inclined to tell her to take a hike. But she had the cold hard cash, a demand for total anonymity, and tendency to vanish on her own. Plunged into a glittering world of fame, fortune, and secrecy, Ray uncovers a sinister plot that goes much deeper than the silver screen—and this robot is at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Made to Kill is the thrilling new speculative noir from novelist and comic writer Adam Christopher.

THE EMPIRE STATE IS THE OTHER NEW YORK.

This book is dedicated to the memory of our late granddaughter Shaney Tillman who left behind the adorable ten-month old, His Royal Majesty, Shane Foster. This charming little warrior was two years and ten-months at the time of this writing; and is currently busy, waging war on the doors of our kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, and refrigerator. We wish him well in his ongoing struggles in life. This documentary, spanning from Creation to Jacob's sojourn in Egypt, is purely the author's imagination. While maintaining strict integrity of the Scriptures, he has transformed the biblical narrative into our modern day language. His aim is twofold. First, to give non-church goers a better perspective of biblical history as opposed to Hollywood's fantasy. Second, to demystify this transformative book, and make it more user friendly. After all, it has survived the test of time to bring us a fresh picture of the genesis of the Creation; the interastion of God's people with friends, and enemies alike; the blunders and repentance of biblical heroes; and God's passionate love for humanity. The narrative outside the biblical texts, and between actors and other involved are purely the author's perception of what transpired among the actors of the biblical narrative. This work should not replace the Bible as the authority of truth. Bear in mind, the Bible is the original word of God, and anything written hereafter is much inferior to it. The biblical texts utilized in this work were taken from the: NKJV, KJV, NIV, ESV, LSV, GW and other versions of the Bible.

First published in The New Yorker, “Solomon tells the story of Peter Lanza, the father of Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary shooter. Read it—it’s moving, brave and just profoundly human and sad....There aren’t any answers. And that’s what makes this all so impossible, and Solomon’s journalism so essential” (Salon.com). “Both parents loved Adam. Neither parent imagined or wanted their child’s horrific end. This is why what Peter Lanza did by sharing his story with Andrew Solomon is so important. Lanza’s story fills important gaps in our understanding of how a beloved child became a killer—and reminds us as a society that we have an obligation to help families and children before they find themselves on irreversible paths of violence” (Time).

This book evaluates the promise of human progress and secularism in grand political narratives of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, comparing counter-narratives of South Asia within the context of a fast-changing twenty-first century. The book embraces a broad range of sources and theoretical approaches that include political philosophy, film, and ideological discourse analysis. In the twenty-first century, global inequality and significant growth of religious and majoritarian nationalisms have been appended with a protracted economic slowdown and recession in many countries. Examining what went wrong in terms of secularism and distributive justice in India, this book critiques the Euro-American visions of democracy, global capitalism, and their so-called universality. As an alternative, it proposes a progressive politics of radical democracy for the Indian people. Reconsidering alternatives to capitalism, western secularism and the radical possibilities of Islamism, Political Theory and South Asian Counter-Narratives will appeal to students and scholars of political theory, international relations, global history, and South Asian politics.
