A tense, thought-provoking pressure cooker about a young woman imprisoned in a psychiatric facility for her political views, perfect for fans of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Girl, Interrupted. Riley Diaz is a troublemaker, born and raised. Half Irish, half Cuban, she's an orphan with the spirit and resilience of her ancestors and the protest protocols of her late parents. She’s ready and able to resist the new tyrannies. After attending a protest, Riley is incarcerated in a shadowy American Renewal Center, detained under dangerous new legislation. This newly authoritarian government is trialling the mandatory re-education of dissidents, and Riley is receiving psychiatric treatment because of her politics. Riley is imprisoned in a nightmarish world of persecution and incursions on her freedom - forced therapy, involuntary medication, extended incarceration, solitary confinement, grotesquely restricted rations, false accusations and more. Trapped in an emerging dystopia, against people who would label her mad for speaking her mind, Riley can only do what she does best – rebel.

Alene.Sådan har Peter Parker altid følt sig. Da han først fik sine edderkoppekræfter gennem et bid fra en radioaktiv edderkop, holdt han dem hemmelige. Hans forsøg på at profitere på dem resulterede i mordet på hans Onkel Ben. Senere betød hans forsøg på at holde sine evner hemmelige fra hans første kærlighed Gwen Stacy, at også hun endte med at lade livet. Den prekære balancegang mellem det at være en superhelt og et almindeligt menneskeer svær at håndtere, og forstås ikke af andre end Peter Parker selv.Indtil nu.En mystisk person dukker pludseligt op med kræfter, som minder påfaldende om Peters. Han klistrer til vægge og springer fra bygning til bygning, præcis som Spider-Man. Hvem er denne mystiske mand? Og hvem er folkene, han repræsenterer? Og i hvad består den oldgamle ondskab, som nu opsøger Peter?Forfatter J. Michael Straczynski har markeret sig på mange fronter. Science-fiction fans kender ham for den epokegørende tv-serie “Babylon 5” samt TV-serien “Jeremiah”, og i tegneseriernes verden har han bl.a. gjort sig til kende med værker som “Rising Stars” (2000) og “Midnight Nation” (2002). Desuden har han leveret manuskript til Clint Eastwoods “Changeling” (2008), og nu kan du altså læse hans udgave af nabolagets venlige edderkop. I ledtog med Staczynski finder vi en lige så stor legende,nemlig John Romta Jr. En mand som af mange anses for at være en af de mest definitive Spider-Manillustratorer, hvis talent for at fortælle visuelt her virkelig komplimenterer Straczynskis historie.

The Breakfast Club meets The Silver Linings Playbook in this powerful, provocative, and heartfelt novel about twelve strangers who come together to make the most of their final days, from New York Times bestselling and award-winning author J. Michael Straczynski. Mark Antonelli, a failed young writer looking down the barrel at thirty, is planning a cross-country road trip. He buys a beat-up old tour bus. He hires a young army vet to drive it. He puts out an ad for others to join him along the way. But this will be a road trip like no other: His passengers are all fellow disheartened souls who have decided that this will be their final journey--upon arrival in San Francisco, they will find a cliff with an amazing view of the ocean at sunset, hit the gas, and drive out of this world. The unlikely companions include a young woman with a chronic pain sensory disorder and another who was relentlessly bullied at school for her size; a bipolar, party-loving neo-hippie; a gentle coder with a literal hole in his heart and blue skin; and a poet dreaming of a better world beyond this one. We get to know them through access to their texts, emails, voicemails, and the daily journal entries they write as the price of admission for this trip. By turns tragic, funny, quirky, charming, and deeply moving, Together We Will Go explores the decisions that brings these characters together, and the relationships that grow between them, with some discovering love and affection for the first time. But as they cross state lines and complications to the initial plan arise, it becomes clear that this is a novel as much about the will to live as it is the choice to end it. The final, unforgettable moments as they hurtle toward the outcomes awaiting them will be remembered for a lifetime.
