![]() In spite of the humor element, I do NOT want anything “cartoony.” ![]() ![]() He is dark-haired, dark-eyed, slightly built, and attractive without being especially memorable. (All contradictions, yes.) He is a thief, not a fighter (he leaves the fighting to others). Humor is a major part of the story, but is not the main focus.Ĭrow has been described as likable, despicable, arrogant, caring, flawed, and talented. The story moves along at a good clip while still including lots of sumptuous detail as well as comedy, tragedy, magic, dangerous heists and, yes, the dragon. The two must first weather each other as they trek through dangerous lands, a haunted cave, and into a temple guarded by blade, sorcery, and a mother dragon. Master thief Crow is coerced into working alongside the law-man who has dogged him for years. I´m searching for a new cover to try to generate some attention-the current cover is good, but too serious. I need a front and back cover for e-books and print editions of a fun fantasy adventure novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the world of Yukikaze, humanity has been at war with an enigmatic alien race known as the JAM for several decades. Kambayashi perfectly evokes the state to be experienced by the reader for the remainder of the book: numbly watching events from a distance as a passive, indifferent observer, without a shred of care about anyone who comes into view, let alone whether they live or die. In a book so slap-happily eager to churn out allegory and extended metaphors, this piece at the very beginning is the most ingenious. ![]() Yukikaze is really about the reconnaissance plane and its pilot, who slowly circles over the carnage, dispassionately observing the destruction of his comrades before declaring the mission complete and returning to base, leaving the survivors for dead. None of the aforementioned events or characters actually matter to the narrative of this novel. ![]() The squadron leader can only grit his teeth behind his flight mask, as he watches most of his planes go down in flames. ![]() The strike appears to be a success, until, seemingly out of nowhere, enemy interceptors ambush the squadron, badly decimating the fighter-bombers in the chaotic dogfight that ensues. Chohei Kambayashi’s Yukikaze opens with a formation of fighter-bomber jets carrying out a pounding airstrike on an outpost of their mysterious extraterrestrial foes. ![]() ![]() ![]() The line was also announced to be part of the " Dawn of DC" initiative. ![]() ![]() In May 2023, it was announced that The New Golden Age would expand to 3 new six-issue miniseries: Alan Scott: The Green Lantern by Tim Sheridan and Cian Tormey, Jay Garrick: The Flash by Jeremy Adams and Diego Olortegui, and Wesley Dodds: The Sandman by Robert Venditti and Riley Rossmo. In August 2022, DC Comics announced "The New Golden Age", an event meant to reintroduce readers to the Justice Society of America and other Golden Age characters, as well as explore the past, present and future of the DC multiverse. The story comprises an eponymous one-shot and the central storyline in the ongoing Justice Society of America, as well as tie-in limited series like Stargirl: The Lost Children, Alan Scott: The Green Lantern, Jay Garrick: The Flash, and Wesley Dodds: The Sandman. Written by Geoff Johns, the story follows the Justice Society of America unraveling a mystery following the Golden Age heroes and villains. " The New Golden Age" is a crossover event in DC Comics publications. The New Golden Age #1, Stargirl: The Lost Children #1–6, Justice Society of America (vol. ![]() ![]() ![]() If a fictional character could be the embodiment of an oxymoron then that is precisely what Dean Moriarty is. ![]() Ironically – despite Jack Kerouac’s writing being intended as a dissident force, pushing the boundaries of American literature – he creates a protagonist so enamoured with chasing the American dream that (ideologically at least) he becomes almost conventional. Spontaneity and a complete disregard for circumstance best characterise Dean: Out of food? Steal it. ![]() Despite the book being told by Sal’s perspective, the participant narrator seems to accept that Dean is at the epicentre of the book, thus it is more a book about watching Dean’s simultaneous development and deterioration than it is about Sal’s own adventures. Jack Kerouac’s semi-autobiographical On The Road tells the story of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty as they embark upon a journey of hitch-hiking, rampant partying and self-evaluation in almost every corner of the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Unforgettable, beautifully etched characters a flawless sense of pacing and a perfectly executed plot imbued with an abundance of desire and danger are the outstanding literary hallmarks of the latest splendid addition to Kleypas' Ravenels series."-Booklist "Witty, often hilarious, and delightfully passionate, this compelling, thrill-laced Victorian romance is another superb series entry."-Library Journal (starred review) As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he's ever known. ![]() When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett's skill and courage to save him.

Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man-why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair, until now. New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas delivers a scintillating tale of an unconventional beauty who finds passion with the spy who can't resist herĭr. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, this motif occurs again when the ambulance driversget stuck in the mud and the two engineering sergeants refuse to help them. However, once he sees that Catharine prefers Frederic to him, Rinaldi claims he’s glad he does not have to deal with constraints of commitment: “’Thank God I did not become involved with the British”” (Hemingway 27). In the beginning of the book, Rinaldi professes his love about Catharine. ![]() For example, Rinaldi continually brags about being a seducer. The men in the book present stereotypical roles by proving to be masculine while at the front. One motif that occurs throughout A Farewell to Armsis masculinity. Hemingway uses rain in the setting to foreshadow the ominous ending of the book and how Hemingway loses his faith at the end of the novel. Hemingway also uses rain in the setting at the end after finding out Catharine and his child died: “After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain”(Hemingway 284). ![]() ![]() ![]() And graffiti messages from an unknown source are asking hard questions. ![]() The governor’s daughter, Sonteine, is getting married, her father demanding a feast out of turn.
