      • 384 pages
      • 14 hours of reading

      In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe known as The Andromeda Strain nearly wiped out humanity, killing everyone in Piedmont, Arizona, except for an elderly man and an infant boy. A team of scientists from Project Wildfire managed to avert disaster just before a nuclear detonation. Over the years, research continued, and the world believed it was safe. However, deep within Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance remained vigilant for the microbe's return. As the project faced shutdown, a Brazilian drone detected an anomaly in the jungle, revealing the chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. This alarming find prompted the activation of a new Project Wildfire, sending a diverse team of global experts to confront a potential apocalypse. The microbe, however, is evolving rapidly. If the team cannot reach the quarantine zone, enter the anomaly, and devise a solution, this new threat could lead to the annihilation of all life on Earth.

      Cataclysm has come to Earth-2. The forces of Darkseid, which were thought to have been repelled years ago, have struck back with a vengeance. Apokolips itself is attacking the Earth, with Darkseid's Furies leading the charge of destruction. This may be humanity's final hour. But Earth-2 is not without its defenders. There are the heroes, like Huntress, Power Girl and Batman. There are the soldiers of the World Army. There's Green Lantern and his fellow Avatars of the Earth, wielding the power of the planet's plant life, animal life and even the air and water. But it's Doctor Fate, the powerful but inexperienced sorcerer, who alone may have the ability to repel Apokolips and save the planet. Empowered by the Helm of the ancient wizard Nabu, Doctor Fate could turn the tide against Apokolips...or, if the Helm were to fall into the hands of Darkseid's servants, Fate could be handing absolute power and total victory to Earth's enemies! World's End has come to Earth-2, from writers Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse), Marguerite Bennett (DC COMICS: BOMBSHELLS), Tom Taylor (INJUSTICE YEAR THREE) and Mike Johnson (SUPERGIRL) and artist Andy Smith (TEEN TITANS: FUTURE'S END). EARTH 2 VOL. 6: COLLISION collects issues #27-32.

      Burger Lab examines the elements that make up the ultimate burger: the perfect squishy bun; a pickle that has just the right amount of tang and crunch; the exact quantity of mayo and ketchup to deliver maximum flavor without over- powering the burger; and the ultimate pattie that's meaty, juicy and umami- intense. It is a science to get all the elements perfect, but in this unique cookbook Daniel Wilson shows us how to get the chemistry exactly right. The modern-day junk food is elevated to the sublime by Daniel Wilson's cheffy sensibilities; Burger Lab will change everything you thought you knew about burgers and arm you with everything you'll need to know to make cult-worthy burgers at home. Mouth-watering constructions include a Wagyu cheeseburger deluxe, a Fried chicken burger with slaw, a Reuben burger with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, thousand island on a rye bun, a BBQ pulled pork bun with pickles and more, plus recipes for condiments, chips and milkshakes to wash it all down. The book's unexpected and fun design, with close-up cross- sections of burgers, illustrative elements throughout and even including an amazing pop-out burger illustration on the endpapers make this the most exciting burger book ever!

    • Eine nahe Zukunft. Eine Technologie, die die Menschheit spaltet. Der Kampf um die Menschlichkeit beginnt. Der neue fesselnde Zukunftsroman von Daniel H. Wilson, dem Autor von „Robocalypse“. Amerika, Zukunft. Neurale Implantate, die ins Gehirn gepflanzt werden und die intellektuellen oder körperlichen Fähigkeiten des Trägers unermesslich steigern, sind der letzte Schrei. Sogar neurale Krankheiten können damit geheilt werden. Doch die Implantate sind teuer, und nur die Wohlhabenden können sie sich leisten. So bildet sich schnell eine Widerstandsgruppe von Nicht-Implantierten, die gegen die sogenannten »Amps« eine Reihe diskriminierender Maßnahmen durchsetzen. In diesem aufgeheizten Klima würde der Lehrer Owen sein Implantat, das seine Epilepsie unter Kontrolle halten soll, am liebsten verheimlichen. Doch dann findet er eines Tages heraus, dass sein Implantat viel mehr kann: Es verleiht ihm Fähigkeiten wie keinem Menschen vor ihm. Als eine neue Welle von Verfolgungen auf die Amps zukommt, muss Owen die Stadt verlassen und Schutz in einem nur von Implantierten bewohnten Ort suchen. Denn durch sein Implantat ist er mitten zwischen die Fronten von Amps und Nicht-Implantierten geraten.

      It goes without saying that robots kill. They hunt, swarm, and fire lasers from their eyes. They even beat humans at chess. So who better to stand with us when the real villains arrive?Movies instruct us that, whether we like it or not, we will one day be under siege by pirates, ninjas, zombies, aliens, and Godzilla. Also great white sharks. And-let's face it-we're not prepared. But with the advice contained in this brilliantly illustrated, ingenious book, you can build your own robot army to fend off hordes of bloodthirsty foes. From common-sense injunctions ("never approach an unfamiliar robot in a militarized zone") to tactical pointers ("low-power radar beats cameras for detecting mummies in a fog-shrouded crypt") to engineering advice ("passive-dynamic exoskeleton suits will increase sprint speeds but not leg strength"), this book contains all the wisdom you'll need to fend off the coming apocalypse.Witty, informative, and utterly original, How to Build a Robot Army is the ideal book for readers of any age.
