“A gleefully apocalyptic page-turner . . .” —Kirkus ReviewsMeet Chloe and Elizabeth Yetti: antisocial, semi-homicidal eighteen-year-old twins casually surviving the AI apocalypse.Ten years ago, a powerful machine intelligence unleashed a nanoengineered superdrug on humanity. Civilization is now a collection of mindless addicts confined to automated treatment centers that tower over drone-dominated cityscapes. Having escaped and grown up in the forests of Northern California alongside their younger brother and brilliant scientist/survivalist mother, Clo and El stayed safe while society collapsed around them.But when a mysterious stranger and a demonic woodland creature appear and threaten their family, the twins are drawn back to a disintegrating, drug-addled San Francisco. There, biomechanical gods and monsters vie for control of what’s left of humanity’s consciousness. Armed with only a knife, an old hunting rifle, and their secret, cryptophasic twin language, Clo and El realize that surviving the apocalypse was just the beginning—now they’ve got to face it head-on.The first book in the Babylon Twins trilogy, this epic adventure takes readers on a journey filled with sci-fi spectacle and darkly humorous twists and turns, not to mention some good old-fashioned butt-kicking. The second book in the series will be coming out in 2022.
The Secret Bible Society needs to rescue their youngest friends from a city facility, but guards, gangs, and their nemesis stand in the way. Can Mia and her friends save the twins and get them out of town without getting caught themselves?
Heloise is getting ready for retirement. After more than three centuries of witchcraft, she wants to relax and carry on a normal existence for her last hundred years, but things keep interrupting her envisioned smooth transition. Two vile high school boys kill her beloved cat and she decides to make them pay for their misdeeds. Then she is chosen to lead introductory sessions for novice witches camping in the mountains near the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon. She must overcome difficulties in the forest and help the Timberville police track pot smugglers. She is finally able to relax to pursue a money making hobby. Seventy-year-old Ned Berry's trip to the barber led to an unimaginable day. An egg-shaped crystal motivated activities resulting in the police arresting him and two friends.
British Twins of Norwegian descent are dropped behind into Arctic Norway near the town of Narvik just before the Nazi invasion of that strategic port. They are soon captured by the Nazi elite mountain guards, the Gebirgsj gers, although they are thought by the Germans to be displaced local fishermen. The story. that unfolds is of their struggle to survive the war, including their resistance experiences throughout all Norway, including the Heavy Water raids at Vemork.Intertwined with the above is the tale of two Polish brothers fighting for their Nazi occupied country from France under General Wladyslaw Sikorski. Fate ties these brothers to the twin British Spies when Sikorski's Independent Podhale Riflr Brigade is dispatched to fight the Nazis at Narvik.This story is the continuation of the tale from the separate novel, The Twins of Narvik Part I.
Days before her fifteenth birthday, life is pretty good for Jessica Murphy. She expects her softball team to make it to the regional championship. She expects to catch the eye of college recruiters. What she doesn't expect is to be told she was born in another world where her twin sister and birth parents await her on the other side of a secret portal. A world away, Lexia struggles to maintain her citizens calm as invasion by a rogue king is imminent. Food supplies are low, the Council is missing, and without her sister, there is little hope for the small land of Almexia. The road to a reunion is filled with excitement, obstacles, and unexpected decisions. Raised in worlds apart, The Twins of Almexia soon discover that together they have the power to change the fate of both worlds forever.
We're like coins. We vary from shining bright to dull and flat, having both a head and a tail. The head of our coin is Life, and its tale is Death. In this world, most people keep most of themselves, half the coin, hidden with its face up and its tail down. Life and Death are two sides of the same coin, a coin that needs to be constantly spinning for us to live a well-balanced life.

This is the second of two volumes that together provide an overview of the latest advances in the generation and application of digital twins in bioprocess design and optimization. Both processes have undergone significant changes over the past few decades, moving from data-driven approaches into the 21st-century digitalization of the bioprocess industry. Moreover, the high demand for biotechnological products calls for efficient methods during research and development, as well as during tech transfer and routine manufacturing. In this regard, one promising tool is the use of digital twins, which offer a virtual representation of the bioprocess. They reflect the mechanistics of the biological system and the interactions between process parameters, key performance indicators and product quality attributes in the form of a mathematical process model. Furthermore, digital twins allow us to use computer-aided methods to gain an improved process understanding, to test and plan novel bioprocesses, and to efficiently monitor them. This book focuses on the application of digital twins in various contexts, e.g. computer-aided experimental design, seed train prediction, and lifeline analysis. Covering fundamentals as well as applications, the two volumes offers the ideal introduction to the topic for researchers in academy and industry alike.
