Whatever happened to Rick Astley? She imagined that he was happily married with children. A record producer, perhaps? That was the usual way with singers, wasn't it? From Bryony Rheam, the award-winning author of All Come to Dust and This September Sun, comes a collection of sixteen short stories shining a spotlight on life in Zimbabwe over the last twenty years. The daily routines and the greater fate of ordinary Zimbabweans are represented with a deft, compassionate touch and flashes of humour. From the potholed side streets of Bulawayo to lush, blooming gardens, traversing down- at-heel bars and faded drawing rooms, the stories in Whatever Happened to Rick Astley? ring with hope and poignancy, and pay tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.
Explore the real science behind the Cartoon Network phenomenon Rick and Morty--one of television's most irreverent, whip-smart, and darkly hilarious shows--and discover how close we are to Rick's many experiments becoming a reality. Adult Swim's Rick and Morty is one of the smartest (and most insane) shows on television. Genius alcoholic Rick Sanchez and his hapless grandson Morty have explored everything from particle physics to human augmentation and much more in their intergalactic adventures through the multiverse. With biting humor and plenty of nihilism, Rick and Morty employs cutting-edge scientific theories in every episode. But, outside of Rick's garage laboratory, what are these theories truly about and what can they teach us about ourselves? Blending biology, chemistry, and physics basics with accessible--and witty--prose, The Science of Rick and Morty equips you with the scientific foundation to thoroughly understand Rick's experiments from the show, such as how we can use dark matter and energy, just what is intelligence hacking, and whether or not you can really control a cockroach's nervous system with your tongue. Perfect for longtime and new fans of the show, this is the ultimate segue into discovering more about our complicated and fascinating universe.
A clone of Elvis Presley? Is it possible? In this third book in the series, Central Security agent Rick Fortune is assigned to capture or kill retired South Florida widow and sometime contract "hitperson" Rosie Feinbooty, who is suspected of murdering the Syrastani ambassador. Meanwhile, Rick's arch enemy, Jeremy Jaynes, has created a clone of Rick. When Rick lets Rosie get away, his boss sends him on a "vacation." While he is away, his clone is doing nasty things. And Rosie is chasing after Jaynes. And Rick's partner, Bree Romo, is trying to find Rick. And then there is Hurricane Hilda to contend with. And the North Korean scientist who developed the cloning formula. And the crooked taxi driver. And the fugitive living on Andros Island. And Rosie's cat, Pumpkin. He must be on the book cover for a reason. And is that really a clone of Elvis? Whew.JAY R WORSHAM spent many years on radio and television in Connecticut, Maryland and Florida. He appeared in hundreds of zany television commercials before switching to writing zany humor columns and theater reviews for Florida newspapers. He now lives in South Florida where he concentrates on writing zany novels and studying improvisational comedy with Suzi Lynch of Atlantis, Florida. The book, Florida Fury, can be a stand alone story, but it's better if you read Florida Freeze and Florida Green first. End of sales pitch.
