A DYSTOPIAN NOIR OF FIRST CONTACT Throughout the centuries of Earth's turbulent past, a malignant, neo-fascist death-cult known as the Soul Harvesters have schemed to one day gain control over civilization. Late in the 22nd century, a quantum singularity, God's Light, blossoms into dazzling life near Earth orbit, unleashing an Armageddon of flame and devastation, killing millions, plunging the world into abject suffering. Through the rift, humanity restively watches the remote cosmos where belligerent, advanced aliens clash for supremacy. Now, the Soul Harvesters have mutated into Overlord, a malevolent entity reigning over a dystopian Earth. Surmising the singularity aliens are an existential threat to their rule, Overlord tasks their finest scientists, the Gods of Chimera, to create genetically-engineered soldiers using a fearful population as ill-fated test subjects. Across the planet, paranoia flourishes while a melancholic people search for the light of hope within the darkness of their tortured lives. One such alienated soul is Detective Klaus Jürgen Müeller, a misanthropic anti-hero barely surviving in a bioengineered district of war and desolation. Tormented by his son's death at the time of the cataclysm, and his wife's subsequent descent into madness, he self-medicates with high-end synthetic drugs, rejects his own existence, and lives in a forever nightmare of sorrow and self-annihilation. In a futuristic noir of rebirth and redemption, Müeller is tasked with a secretive murder investigation connected to the development of the chimeras. Drowning under his own fractured sense of self, with time running out and pressure crushing him from all sides, he must evade tyranny, reckon with the sins of his past, and confront the looming doom of an alien invasion from the sinister unknown.

Long ago, when gods and heroes walked the earth in triumph and tragedy, true love and epic deeds were set among the stars... In the city of ancient Corinth, Bellerophon grew up in the corridors of the palace, haunted by his father’s gruesome death, and distrusted and ignored by the rest of his own family. He now spends his life in the shadows of society, and that is how he prefers it. However, the Gods of Olympus have something more in mind for him. After a violent incident in the mountains, Bellerophon is banished from his home for all time. His path leads him to the court of an aged king in Tiryns where he is welcomed at first, but due to the spiteful queen, he is wrongly accused of another crime in a world that seems endlessly cruel. Dejected and uncaring of what happens to him and his hateful life, Bellerophon is sent across the sea to the court of King Iobates of Lykia. At the urging of his seer, the king welcomes Bellerophon as an honoured guest in his home, until he discovers the reason for his arrival. Seeking a way to be rid of Bellerophon, without violating the sacred laws of Zeus, King Iobates commands that he complete three impossible tasks to prove his innocence or bring about his death. With the world set against him, Bellerophon welcomes his imminent end. That is, until he meets the king’s daughter, Philonoe, the only person who has ever believed in him, and whose father has kept a dark secret from for many years. With the Gods and Lykia’s princess on his side, can Bellerophon prove his innocence and help save Lykia and its people? Will he finally accept the fate that the Gods have pressed upon him? Or will he succumb to the despair and hopelessness that have dogged him all of his life? Only by facing his deepest fears and a creature more terrible than any other of the Gods’ creation can Bellerophon truly succeed and become the hero he is meant to be... The Reluctant Hero is an epic retelling of the story of Bellerophon and the Chimera from Greek mythology. It is the fourth book in the Mythologia fantasy series by best-selling and award-winning author and historian, Adam Alexander Haviaras. If you enjoy books by Madeline Miller, Stephen Fry, Natalie Haynes or Jennifer Saint then you will love the Mythologia series. Read The Reluctant Hero today and witness the rise of one of the greatest heroes of the ancient world!

The dragon-possessed healer Asha of Kathmandu joins forces with the fox witch Wren, the airship engineer Taziri, and the immortal knight Gideon to save the living gods of Alexandria from an ancient evil. The immortal Lilith has come to the city to terrorize its people, and to twist them into hideous, monstrous slaves to serve her dark designs. Many heroes have gathered to defeat her, but the one person who knows all the secrets of this place is stolen away. Asha's new ally Anubis has a dark agenda of his own. And if Asha cannot control her own grief and rage at the evils she has seen, the dragon's soul that dwells within her may consume her utterly, transforming her into the most devastating monster of all. Inhuman creatures rampage across Alexandria, and battles rage from the city streets to the night skies, and from the great lighthouse down into the vast necropolis hidden beneath the earth. But this is a battle that cannot be won with weapons, no matter how otherworldly, if Asha is to also save her own sanity and bring peace to the city of the gods.

It has been two years since the ancient gods had attempted to exterminate the human race for their treatment of the Earth. The gods were defeated, and the human was saved by the man-made, hybrid kaiju Chimera. With the gods no longer capable of challenging them, interdimensional beings known as the Dark Ones have returned to destroy the Earth itself. Led by the titan Cronus, the Dark Ones unleash numerous monsters, demons, and giants from the realm of myth onto the planet with the directive to destroy all forms of life. Realizing that the monsters under his command may not be capable of defeating the hybrid, Cronus searches parallel Earths to find a monster who is strong enough to challenge Chimera. After scouring countless Earths, Cronus finds Atomic Rex. With his vast powers, Cronus sends Atomic Rex to Chimera's Earth and sets the monster loose. The few gods that remain alive after the war with humans, discover Cronus's intentions. The gods reluctantly ally themselves with humans and Chimera in an attempt to save the planet. Chimera and Atomic Rex will fight their way through the gods and monster of myth as they both head to the greatest challenge either one of them has ever faced in each other.

To free myself, I defy the goddess-queen. To free the realm, I must dethrone the gods for good. Chimera’s were once legendary for their shapeshifting prowess and the ability to breathe fire. Yet the secrets and cruelties within my goddess-queen mother’s court render me nothing more than a beast to control—caged, inferior, and cowardly. But when prisoners are brought into the palace, I break the goddess-queen’s rules. Anything to learn more of the outside world I’m kept away from. Yet breaking the rules comes at a price: I’m exiled from the court I called home and the mother I don’t know how to live without. A mother who lied about everything—including the details of who I am and who birthed me. To survive, I band together with a handsome demigod—Alexius, the latest blacksmith to seal a collar around my neck. He’s a mess of contradictions—arrogant yet modest, immovable yet soft—and I like him far more than I should. With each day, it deepens into something more. Something I don’t dare name. And though his plan to put Zeus back on the throne is risky, it may earn me freedom. I risked everything for the prisoners’ freedom. Then I risk everything for my own. Yet when allies and enemies alike crumble beneath the goddess-queen’s tyranny, will I risk everything to free the realm? If you like Greek mythology, swoon-worthy romance, and legendary creatures, you’ll love Chimera Child, the final book in a thrilling fantasy trilogy.

In CHIMERAJohn Barth injects his signature wit into the tales of Scheherezade of the Thousand and One Nights, Perseus, the slayer of Medusa, and Bellerophon, who tamed the winged horse Pegasus. In a book that the Washington Post called "stylishly maned, tragically songful, and serpentinely elegant,” Barth retells these tales from varying perspectives, examining the myths’ relationship to reality and their resonance with the contemporary world. A winner of the National Book Award, this feisty, witty, sometimes bawdy book provoked Playboy to comment, "There’s every chance in the world that John Barth is a genius.”

“An excellent introduction to the field of animal studies . . . [the] applications of these ideas to biblical passages . . . illuminate the text in new ways." -- Brandon R. Grafius, Horizons in Biblical Theology Animal studies may be a recent academic development, but our fascination with animals is nothing new. Surviving cave paintings are of animal forms, and closer to us, as Ken Stone points out, animals populate biblical literature from beginning to end. This book explores the significance of animal studies for the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. Combined with biblical scholarship, animal studies sheds useful light on animals, animal symbolism, and the relations among animals, humans, and God—not only for those who study biblical literature and its ancient context, but for contemporary readers concerned with environmental, social, and animal ethics. Without the presence of domesticated and wild animals, neither biblical traditions nor the religions that make use of the Bible would exist in their current forms. Although parts of the Bible draw a clear line between humans and animals, other passages complicate that line in multiple ways and challenge our assumptions about the roles animals play therein. Engaging influential thinkers, including Jacques Derrida, Donna Haraway, and other experts in animal and ecological studies, Reading the Hebrew Bible with Animal Studies shows how prehumanist texts reveal unexpectedly relevant dynamics and themes for our posthumanist age. “[Stone’s] ecological sensibilities, theoretical acumen, and incisive exegetical arguments open up fresh perspectives.” —Stephen D. Moore, The Theological School, Drew University “This monograph is poised to become a key work in the field.” —Anne Létourneau, Reading Religion “Groundbreaking.” —Carol J. Dempsey, OP, Horizons
