The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture
by Glen WeldonA witty, intelligent cultural history from NPR book critic Glen Weldon explains Batman's rises and falls throughout the ages--and what his story tells us about ourselves.Since his creation, Batman has been many things: a two-fisted detective; a planet-hopping gadabout; a campy Pop-art sensation; a pointy-eared master spy; and a grim and gritty ninja of the urban night. For more than three quarters of a century, he has cycled from a figure of darkness to one of lightness and back again; he's a bat-shaped Rorschach inkblot who takes on the various meanings our changing culture projects onto him. How we perceive Batman's character, whether he's delivering dire threats in a raspy Christian Bale growl or trading blithely homoerotic double-entendres with partner Robin on the comics page, speaks to who we are and how we wish to be seen by the world. It's this endlessly mutable quality that has made him so enduring. And it's Batman's fundamental nerdiness--his gadgets, his obsession, his oath, even his lack of superpowers--that uniquely resonates with his fans who feel a fiercely protective love for the character. Today, fueled by the internet, that breed of passion for elements of popular culture is everywhere. Which is what makes Batman the perfect lens through which to understand geek culture, its current popularity, and social significance. In The Caped Crusade, with humor and insight, Glen Weldon, book critic for NPR and author of Superman: The Unauthorized Biography, lays out Batman's seventy-eight-year cultural history and shows how he has helped make us who we are today and why his legacy remains so strong.

Capital Offense
by ShimermanI was born on the thirteenth day of July in the eighteenth year of the reign of His Glorious Majesty Henry VIII, in the one thousand five hundred and twenty-seventh year after our Lord's death. I had the great good fortune to be born an Englishman, and when I came of age in both knowledge and reason, I served my country and my queen, Elizabeth Regina. Trapped by the Medici, I was condemned as a heretic and a spy, walled up alive, condemned to die for queen and country. Instead the hand of Fortune swept me up and I was spared. It is now the eighteenth day of March in the year 2101, and I am as trapped as I was in Venice. Fortune's servant, Dyckon, a creature called the Roc -- who by his very countenance calls forth the living visage of the Dark Ones -- swears he will find a way to send me home, to my time, my place, my queen. But the forces of this time and place rage against me as surely as did the Medicis. Others of Dyckon's race even now look to wipe clean the face of the planet of every human. The powers of this time plot to subjugate me with their horrible machine -- an identity chip. And if these powers were to find out that I was in league with the Roc, I would be condemned. It will take all the skills I learned as a spymaster to keep me free, to stop the Roc, and set me on the path to home. THE SPELLBINDING CONCLUSION OF THE SAGA OF THE MERCHANT PRINCE, DOCTOR JOHN DEE.

Capricho Do Destino
by Owen JonesCapricho Do Destino A História de Wayne Gamm Wayne Gamm nasceu em uma fazenda remota em uma montanha galesa de criadores de ovelhas no dia 21 de junho. Sua mãe e sua avó, ambas bruxas, tinham mostrado que ele seria um bebê grande com poderes incomuns. Elas não sabiam exatamente o que isso significava, mas achavam melhor que Gwynedd o tivesse em casa, porque ambas sentiam que poderia haver problemas com Wayne se ele percebesse que médicos, enfermeiras ou parteiras eram uma ameaça, o que ele poderia se sua mãe estivesse gritando ou alguém batesse em seu traseiro para começar a respirar. Wayne deu sua primeira demonstração real de que ele poderia mudar o destino quando ele fez seu pai, Sam, cair depois de uma discussão barulhenta com sua mãe, mas isso foi apenas o começo dele. Ele faz com que tanto seus professores quanto colegas na escola o temessem, o que levou ao seu ostracismo. No entanto, Wayne não vai acreditar que ele é causa dessas reviravoltas do destino, boas e más, dependendo do seu humor, porque ele não tem controle consciente sobre sua capacidade. Se as pessoas o fazem feliz, se coisas boas estão acontecendo ao seu redor, elas melhoram, mas se alguém o aborrece ou a atmosfera é ruim, então só pode piorar. Ele cresce solitário e em negação em sua montanha como um pastor, depois que o diretor da faculdade efetivamente o exclui da escola. Eventualmente, ele faz amizade com alguns especialistas em corridas no pub local e eles começam a tirá-lo de si mesmo, porque isso leva a mais ganhos. Um dia, ele conhece um homem na montanha que é um palhaço em um circo. Ele lhe dá dois ingressos gratuitos para qualquer local. Enquanto lá ele "miraculosamente" cura um cavalo aparentemente manco, e várias semanas depois ele recebe um emprego como cavalariço no circo pelo dono do cavalo e logo ele está viajando com eles. Enquanto viajava pela Espanha, ele apr
Capsized: Bougainvillea Shelter Island Capsized
by Sharon SalaA Texas Ranger teams up with a beautiful DEA agent deal to take down a deadly drug lord in this romantic suspense novella by a New York Times bestseller.Out of danger and . . . into his armsUndercover DEA agent Kelly Sloan was tasked with taking down Mexican druglord Dominic Ortega, but when her cover was blown, she barely escaped with her life. After being taken out on his yacht and tortured for information, she literally leapt at the chance to escape overboard, figuring death at sea was better than death at the hands of her vicious captor. But fate had something other than death in mind for her.Texas Ranger Quinn McCord was dealing with problems of his own, so the last thing he needed was a gorgeous, nearly naked woman with a shady past. And before the unconscious beauty on the beach even came to, he knew she was either trouble or in trouble—maybe both—because the men patrolling the shallows with a speedboat and binoculars weren’t tourists out for a day’s fishing. His finely honed instincts told him that she was their quarry, and that he had to protect her and find out what was really going on.If Kelly was shocked to find herself waking up in the arms of a handsome stranger, Quinn was no less surprised to discover that his damsel-in-distress was a very capable agent who’d quite possibly killed the infamous Dominic Ortega before getting away. Unfortunately for them both, Ortega hadn’t died. Instead he’d put a two-million-dollar bounty on her head and sent his army of killers-for-hire in pursuit.Now Kelly and Quinn are both the pursued and the pursuers as they try to stay alive long enough for Kelly to testify against Ortega—and for the two of them to follow up on the once-in-a-lifetime attraction neither one of them wants to fight.Previously Published in On the Edge.
