Jessica Jones barged onto our screens in November 2015, courtesy of Marvel and Netflix, presenting a hard-drinking protagonist who wrestles with her own inner (and outer) demons. Gaining enhanced abilities as a teenager, she eschews the "super costume" and is far more concerned with the problems of daily life. But when Jessica falls under the control of a villain, her life changes forever.Based on the comic book Alias, the show won a large following and critical acclaim for its unflinching look at subjects like abuse, trauma, PTSD, rape culture, alcoholism, drug addiction, victims' plight and family conflicts. This collection of new essays offers insight into the show's complex themes and story lines.

A New York Times bestseller In 2006, twenty-seven-year-old Jessica Buchanan stepped off a plane in Nairobi, Kenya, with a teaching degree and long-held dreams of helping to educate African children. By 2009, she had met and married a native Swede named Erik Landemalm, who worked to coordinate humanitarian aid with authorities in Africa. Together the two moved from Nairobi to Somalia, and with hopes of starting a family, their future couldn't have been brighter. . . . But on October 25, 2011, Jessica and a colleague were kidnapped at gunpoint and held for ransom by a band of Somali pirates. For the next three months, Jessica was terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters, held outdoors in filthy conditions, and kept on a starvation diet while her health steadily deteriorated. Negotiations for ransom dragged on, and as the ordeal stretched into its third month, the captors grew increasingly impatient. Every terrifying moment Jessica Buchanan spent suffering in captivity was matched by that of her adoring husband working behind the scenes to deal with her captors. After ninety-three days of fruitless negotiations, and with Jessica's medical state becoming a life-or-death issue, President Barack Obama ordered Navy SEAL Team Six to attempt a rescue operation. On January 25, 2012, just before the president delivered his State of the Union speech, the team of twenty-four SEALs, under the cover of darkness, attacked the heavily armed hostiles. They killed all nine with no harm to the hostages, who were quickly airlifted out on a military rescue helicopter. In riveting detail, this book chronicles Jessica and Erik's mutual journey during those torturous months. Together they relate the events prior to the kidnapping, the drama of Jessica's fight to stay alive, and Erik's efforts to bolster and support the hunt for her while he acted as liaison between their two families, the FBI, professional hostage negotiators, and the United States government. Both a testament to two people's courage and a nail-biting look at a life-or-death struggle, this is a harrowing and deeply personal story about their triumph over impossible odds.
When a pathetic blonde begs Chicago attorney Weston Long to help her find her stalker, the hunt becomes a road trip, the help becomes obsession. And the prey gets deadly."Jessica Falls is not a comfortable story, but it's one you won't be able to put down..."-Gerald Weinberg, bestselling author of Freshman Murders

World implications and every part of the cosmos. Lives will change forever as well the understanding of the Universe. From A Readers' Favorite Reviewer...Jessica's Footprints is science fiction at its best The theories discussed in this book were intriguing and they weren't confusing, nor did I need to use Google to decipher them, thanks to J. R. Evangelisti's concise explanations and examples in layman's terms. I was pleased with the plot, and it came across as well thought out and structured. The pacing was to my liking as well, and it worked hand in hand with the tension in certain scenes to bring the scenes to life. The characters that J. R. Evangelisti has created formed a likable and organic cast. A strong supporting cast of characters complemented an already stellar main cast. The characters were multidimensional and had some nice depth to them. There weren't any weak links. They all had a role to play in breathing life into the story. I enjoyed reading this book The content and formatting were just perfect, and I believe fellow sci-fi lovers will feel the same way about this book after reading it.
