"Beware the Boar who is slow to anger." So declares the Teaching. And now the War Pigs, a race of half-human half-pigs, are ready to march. After decades of internment in the Mojave, they have a mission: to arm themselves and blow up Los Angeles. Thus begin the adventures of Overlord, Wart Hog, Xerxes, Sergeant Snout, Socko, McPork, Tusker, Brunhilde and the Swine Maidens, and the entire War Pig army, as well as the bus-full of Las-Vegas-bound tourists that they capture on their way to I-95. Their first destination: Wild Bill Snopes' Mojave Military Academy, the U.S. government's main storage depot for retired weapons. Next, the desert town of Nitro, where the law requires all citizens to carry guns, followed by an assault on the Doom Valley Airport. And then on to Los Angeles itself, the San Cochino nuclear facility, and a climactic pitched battle with Valley shoppers and the U.S. Army at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. At the action's core is the unrequited love of Wart Hog for Astrid, one of the human captives. When she escapes, his pursuit leads him through the streets of Hollywood to a personal Armageddon on the nighttime Fourth-of-July beach at Santa Monica.

Bestselling author David Alexander has penned what critics hail as the ultimate thriller/technothriller. GOOGLE WAR is the result of groundbreaking authorship by an author whose last novel is always the next novel of the competition, and whose next novel goes far beyond what others even conceive as possible. "As with all other thrillers by David Alexander, the "techno" aspect in no way overshadows the "thriller" part. Here too, the author has developed characters and situations that take Google War giant steps beyond conventional thriller fare, projecting scenarios that extrapolate the future from present situations with an uncanny sense of the probable ... it's as if David Alexander wrote this thriller as dictated by his crystal ball." -- Daily News Virtually everything in GOOGLE WAR, every element of plot and characterization, every riff and hook of story, is based on actual events, technologies and in some cases, personalities and the threads of its plot have been deliberately interwoven to project a forward-looking scenario at threats and solutions. One of the themes of the novel is the threat to human society posed by artificial intelligence, a so-called Terminator Effect. The threat from AI includes that described from neuromorphic technologies, which can bridge the gap between machine intelligence and the human nervous system. "While many of the scenes bear an eerie resemblance to contemporary events -- a viral pandemic whose causes are murky, the hunt for and killing of a terrorist chieftain guilty of genocidal crimes, the waging of distant littoral operations in remote regions of the world, the battles in Congress, the Pentagon and White House to cope with growing insurgency – the story is so exciting precisely because it mirrors rather than apes headlines or regurgitates current events. Nor is this a "Jack Armstrong" or even "Jack Ryan" saga, relying on superficial and often laughably naive knowledge of military, political, geostrategic, technological and cultural trends that are at the very core of the exciting and well informed story that features in Google War." --Times of London GOOGLE WAR is continued proof of Author David Alexander's uncanny ability to create riveting fiction that reads like a headline New York Times story. "It's as if Alexander has a crystal ball and uses it to sneak a peak at world-changing events before they happen, then write it as fiction." The New York Times called GOOGLE WAR by David Alexander "...perhaps the best thriller of its type to have come along all year!" USA Today applauded author David Alexander, declaring that "Among the possible three finest thriller authors today, Alexander easily takes first place." In GOOGLE WAR, terrorism, cyberwar, biowar and robotic war combine into the rolling thunder of advanced hybrid war. This is a fifth generation form of warfare that attacks through 5G systems of the global Internet and makes all other types of warfare obsolete. When this storm gets rolling everyone is a combatant and everything can potentially become an enemy weapon. Even the human brain is not immune to the invasion of weaponized nanoparticles that can take control of the human nervous system and turn victims into humanoid robots programmed to kill. "'Where exactly David Alexander gets his ideas from, we can't say. What we can say is that this author is light years ahead of just about any other thriller author in the world and promises to continue on a rocketing trajectory into the farthest reaches of novelistic fame. Most amazingly, Alexander appears not to owe literary dues to anyone who has come before; he is a creative law unto himself, inventing everything as if he had a magician's ability to pull entire worlds out of an upturned top hat then make it all magically disappear in a puff of smoke. At thriller writing, David Alexander is a wizard. As an author with scores of great novels to his credit, he is also a one-man industrial giant." --Kirkus Reviews "Always the consummate prose stylist, David Alexander also speaks tech talk like no other. What's more, the tech specs are undoubtedly real, including those that pertain to ostensibly stolen or covertly obtained Russian and Chinese weapons that have been reverse-engineered by [US military technology development agency] DARPA. Alexander's security clearance is probably higher than the president's, and his knowledge of military systems better than any three members of the joint chiefs of staff," said New York Newsday of David Alexander's blockbuster thriller, GWAR. In page after page of this startling, revolutionary technothriller, Alexander makes bold proclamations that while portrayed as fiction, may be more than that. GOOGLE WAR. By author David Alexander.

Offering the widest scope of any study of one of popular music's most important eras, Songs of the Vietnam Conflict treats both anti-war and pro-government songs of the 1960s and early 1970s, from widely known selections such as Give Peace a Chance and Blowin' in the Wind to a variety of more obscure works. These are songs that permeated the culture, through both recordings and performances at political gatherings and concerts alike, and James Perone explores the complex relationship between music and the society in which it is written. This music is not merely an indicator of the development of the American popular song; it both reflected and shaped the attitudes of all who were exposed to it. Whereas in previous wars, musicians rallied behind the government in the way of Aaron Copland and Samuel Barber, the Vietnam conflict provoked anger, frustration, and rage, all of which comes through in the songs of the time. This reference work provides indispensable coverage of this phenomenon, in chapters devoted to Anti-War Songs, Pro-Government Songs, and what might be called Plight-of-the-Soldier (or Veteran) songs. A selected discography guides the reader to the most notable recordings, all of which, together, provide a unique and important perspective on perhaps the 20th century's most contentious time.

Black Sabbath has often been credited with inventing heavy metal with their first album released in 1970. Their new style of music was loud, brutal, scary, innovative, and it has greatly influenced heavy metal bands since then. Their five decades of music cross generations of fans, and they remain relevant to this day, with their 2013 album charting #1 in the United States and at least five other countries. In Experiencing Black Sabbath: A Listener’s Companion, musician and scholar Nolan Stolz leads the reader through Sabbath’s twenty studio albums and additional songs, closely examining their music and the storied history of the band. Along the way, Stolz highlights often-overlooked key moments that defined Sabbath’s unique musical style and legacy. Band members’ own words illuminate certain aspects of the music, and Stolz makes connections from song to song, album to album, and sometimes across decades to create an intricate narrative of the band’s entire catalog. Experiencing Black Sabbath reveals the underappreciated genius of these heavy metal progenitors to all rock music lovers and gives even the most fervent Sabbath fans a new perspective on the music.

En un peu plus de vingt ans de carrière, BATHORY a acquis le statut de légende et a donné ses lettres de noblesse au metal extrême, dont il est un pionnier et une référence incontournable. Depuis ses débuts en 1983 jusqu’au décès de son leader charismatique Quorthon en 2004, le mystérieux combo suédois a en effet laissé une empreinte indélébile dans la scène underground, posant les bases du Black Metal moderne avant de s’imposer comme le fer de lance du Viking Metal épique, ce qui constitue un véritable tour de force lorsqu’on connaît les incessants changements de line-up qui l’ont privé très tôt d’activité scénique et les contraintes matérielles auxquelles il a dû faire face tout au long de son incroyable carrière. Contre vents et marées, le groupe et son maître à penser ont composé d’innombrables morceaux devenus des hymnes et publié quantité d’albums qui sont considérés comme autant de classiques, n’hésitant pas à innover sans cesse et à explorer avec succès des styles musicaux très différents sans jamais faire de compromis ni renoncer à son intégrité ou trahir ses hordes de fans. Découvrez ici, à travers de nombreux extraits d’interviews et une analyse détaillée de sa riche discographie, l’histoire de BATHORY, groupe mythique qui a changé la face du metal extrême.
