Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - "Dynamic characters headline this exhilarating fusion of action and alien horror." Kirkus Reviews A team of superbeings are all that stands between Earth and total annihilation at the hands of a predatory alien species.An alien ship crashed into Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier 150,000 years ago… and froze within the iceuntil glacial melting thawed out its deadly inhabitants in the present day. Kai and Jules Bevins, both professors of astrobiology at Caltech, are roused from their home and whisked away to the site where a special division of the army has taken charge. But not before something escaped through a breach in the hull. Meanwhile, a pair of Alaska state troopers locate a missing Amazon driver fifteen miles away on the Juneau Icefield and trace his movements to a nearby village with a population of less than fifty. Arriving in town, they are greeted by the bodies of villagers who were killed in an impossible, horrific way. Thousands of miles away, under a remote archaeological find in Pakistan, the Ninea team of superbeings placed on Earth a million years ago by intergalactic colonizers that seeded our planet to create human lifeare lifted from their long slumber. The kind of threat they've been waiting for has finally come. The Nine find unexpected allies culled from the ancient history of their home world in the form of a teenage boy and godlike entity. All this leads to a confrontation on a volcanic island that will determine the fate of civilization, even as the Nine uncover the shattering truth behind their own tragic paths and learn of a much greater battle to come. Will they be enough to stem the apocalyptic menace threatening all of mankind.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Now in a special edition hardcover with enhanced design! A Confederacy of Dunces meets Liar's Poker in this rollicking roman à clef from inside PwnShop's "bored" room as the embattled company hobbles through an extraordinary short squeeze.Why do good things happen to bad companies In early 2021, t…he stock value of PwnShopa dead to rights bricks-and-mortar retailer disrupted by the digital downloading of video gamesinexplicably ballooned overnight. While much has been written about the mechanics of the meme stock short squeezes, no one has yet clarified the chaotic drama of what was happening inside such a company during its zeitgeist moment. Nick Haller is an irreverent HBS Gen X know-it-all and wannabe musician trapped inside the C-suite of PwnShop. Having slogged through bureaucracy and a morass of competing agendas with characters that include tightfisted ex-military executives, demented board directors, vainglorious activists, and the cult-like community of clerks and customers, Haller foolishly believes that he's found a way forward for the disrupted company. Instead, the pandemic strikes, activists take control of the company, the Reddit-fueled short squeeze occurs, and Nick's earnest intentions end up on the cutting room floor while his net worth skyrockets "to the moon." Skinny Dipping at Low Tide is a darkly comedic, gonzo-style satire that chronicles the chaos, absurdity, and soul-searching of a disillusioned executive caught in the maelstrom of a singular stock frenzy. It causes him to question everything he ever thought about capitalism and the corporate world. A piercing and sidesplitting novel, Skinny Dipping at Low Tide is sure to delight readers of Tom Robbins, Joshua Ferris, and Michael Lewis.
