![]() ![]() ![]() Worse, one in six die during the transition, and even if Jack beats the odds, he’ll have to navigate a fantastical world that’s home to vicious monsters, domineering AIs, and cutthroat players. ![]() Taking that leap of faith, though, means permanently trapping his mind in the game, killing his body in the process. Through a connection at Osmark Technologies, Jack’s acquired a NexGenVR capsule and with it, a one-way ticket to the brand-new, ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online. Still, there might be a way for him to survive Astraea: a slim chance, requiring a radical leap of faith. Jack Mitchel, a thirty-two-year-old EMT living in a tiny studio apartment on the West Coast, isn’t one of those winners. World governments are preparing for impact with deep earth bio-dome bunkers, but only a select few lottery winners will be saved. An international team of scientists is working around the clock to avert the cataclysm-few are optimistic. An extinction-level asteroid, 213 Astraea, is cannonballing toward Earth. ![]()

My Book Review: I’d been planning on reading this oldie classic for several years, but truth be told I was expecting a shallow dime novel type story. ![]() A swashbuckling classic that brims with stolen treasure and adventure on the high seas, Captain Blood quickly became a best-seller after it was first published in 1922. A rollicking tale of piracy on a grand scale, accented with breathtaking maritime maneuvers, near misses, and broadside hits, Sabatini’s fast-paced novel is alive with color, romance, and excitement. Sentenced to ten years of slavery on a Barbados plantation, Blood escapes from captivity and boldly embarks on a career as a pirate, never losing sight of his goals of clearing his name and returning to England. ![]() ![]() ![]() Plot Summary: (from Barnes and ) During the tumultuous reign of James II, Englishman Peter Blood, a gentleman-physician, barely escapes the gallows after his arrest for treating a wounded rebel.

The most difficult and, in some ways, the most rewarding thing I’ve ever been through was emigrating as a teen-ager. The bizarre thing was that it was an emigration for the rest of my family, and especially for my teen-age kids. So, in 2013, it was an emigration for me, but it was also a kind of homecoming. I do a very good impersonation of an American-I went to high school here-but I’ve spent most of my life in Russia. Masha Gessen: You and I both came to this country as kids, but I was fourteen and you were six. Keith Gessen: In late 2013, because of various unpleasant developments in Russia, you moved from Moscow to New York, after being away from the U.S. ![]() Keith’s most recent book is a novel set in Russia, called “ A Terrible Country” Masha’s most recent book is also about Russia, a work of nonfiction called “ The Future Is History.” The Gessen siblings often have differing views on their native country at last year’s New Yorker Festival, in a rare joint public appearance, they interviewed each other about Russia, writing about Russia in a strange moment in Russian-American relations, and about emigration and growing up with the same set of parents in two countries. Both combine teaching and writing, often for this magazine, where Masha is a staff writer. Between the two of them, the siblings Masha and Keith Gessen have written more than a dozen books and more than a thousand articles. ![]() ![]() Read Elizabeth’s review in its entirety here. I think readers will either be charmed by him, or very, very tired of him - and since the book is entirely from his POV, there is even time for both. He’s the best friend in the world, the smartest person in the room, the sparkliest snowflake in the blizzard, and the star of every show. He’s kooky and quirky, whimsical and wacky. He’s an elfin, beautiful twink with constant foot-in-mouth disease. ![]() Rex is the manic pixie dream boy of everyone’s dreams (or nightmares). ![]() It’s a 500 page look into Rex’s life, rather than being a book about being a superhero, which means you’re going to get an earful (eyeful) of everything Rexley Xander Nova is. It’s an interesting mix that isn’t fully explored in this book, which is 90% exposition and character building, 5% plot, and 5% world building. ![]() This is the first book in the Liquid Onyx series, which has both superheroes and supervillains (though the only supervillain in this book is Rex’s dead father), government agencies and agents, as well as witches and magic. ![]() ![]() But an unexpected stroke of luck gives him an outside chance at a dukedom-and which Tate sister he weds hardly seems to matter. ![]() ![]() Defiantly she helps Cathy elope with her true love, and takes her sister’s place at the altar.It’s not even the match that was made…Perched on the lowest branch of his family tree, Max has relied on charm and cunning to survive.
