The Hilarious Secret Sequel to the 20th Century Classic
My difficulty in writing this blog should probably be communicated to the reader, for it conveys a sense of the book's true value. I am challenged to write this blog because I cannot stop laughing about this book.
The book is Atlas Slugged Again, and Ellis Weiner's masterful parody is a worthy read for anyone who has ever read or heard of Ayn Rand. This piece, obviously a parody of the 20th century classic Atlas Shrugged, will leave readers with a sense of how to feel about the true followers of Rand's original. It will also leave you aching from laughter.
Naturally, the storyline takes as its foundation the basic framework of its inspiration, Rand's best-known novel. In this society, John Glatt is “the smartest, bravest, most rational man in society” (and I am sure that you already see where this is going), and free-will and self-interest are at the core of all great achievements within the context of the Age of Production. The writing highlights Rand's idiosyncratic writing techniques and flourishes quite well. The author's greatest advantage is his keen awareness of how to utilize these tendencies of Rand to full effect.
Ellis Weiner is no stranger to the realm of parody and humor. In fact, his professional career is marked by great achievements in this respect (and, according to the official website, he has written for “literally every other magazine that ever existed”). In his early years, he worked as an editor for National Lampoon. He has written many praiseworthy books, including The Big Jewish Book for Jews and How to Raise a Jewish Dog. You might even recognize his name...
...Atlas Slugged is the well-crafted and hilariously antagonizing “secret sequel” to the towering masterpiece. Both lovers and haters of Ayn Rand's fiction can learn to appreciate this fantastic book which delves into the depths of the human experience and problems of free will. In addition, avid readers of general parody will appreciate Weiner's delightful approach to this infamous and mysterious classic of literature. Finally, Atlas Slugged Again comes highly recommended for anyone who wishes to laugh for most of the remainder of this year.

The Story Behind the Greatest War...
History may not be your favorite subject, but I am sure that you understand its importance...
...it teaches us what not to recreate and what to avoid in our future endeavors. History is comprised of a series of lessons, each based in the actions and beliefs of those at the center of conflict or change (or stagnation, as the case may be) in any given era. History has much to teach us.
That begins to explain the importance of To End All Wars, the newest release from Adam Hochschild, an accomplished author and activist, which involves an investigation of World War I from a vantage point drastically different from your average history textbook. This work delves into territory beyond the blood and brutality of that early twentieth century war-time period. It explores with great intensity the personal struggles of both rebellious pacifists and militant supporters, each fighting for a cause in which they passionately believe.
To End All Wars is not a collection of figures, statistics and strategies of engagement. Rather, it is an accurate portrait of the characters and personalities behind the conflict, as well as those in its midst. This is a very real and very human vantage point that has great relevance in our own time. Hochschild's book, as a historical depiction of World War I, is by no means deficient, nor is it discrepant. It is, however, different from the writing (on this subject) that precedes it, for To End All Wars is less an account of a historical event or period and more an account of human struggle backed by strong values and loyalties. The suffering that was so much a part of this period is captured in living, active non-fiction. It is a story, I am sure, that Hochschild felt needed to be told.
To End All Wars would make an excellent addition to any history lover's bookshelf, but readers of general non-fiction will also gain a lot from this reading, even if they have no particular interest in the specific period. Of course, those obsessed with World War I will absolutely enjoy every page of this excellent, well-written exploration of the people at the center of a conflict so devastating and far-reaching that it was called “the war to end all wars.”

She Cannot Escape the Cries...
In her nightmares, Sarah Temple hears the cries of a child...
...this is the child with whom she shares a remarkable connection―psychic ability. Whether Sarah is awake or dreaming, she always hears the horrible screaming. And Sarah knows that she has to help somehow.
She recognizes the source of this child's fear, for she too was once held captive, subjected to the experiments of a secret organization “studying” psychic abilities in humans. Now, the little girl haunting Sarah, the one with the ability to alter people's very will, as well as their dreams, has become the organization's next victim, and Sarah must find a way to keep them from going too far and taking the girl with them. But is it possible that the girl is only being used as a means of luring her back to the place from which she escaped? Have they set a trap for Sarah?
The only way she will ever know and can ever hope to save the girl is by trusting the man who broke her heart in order to save her life. It is this man, a psychic warrior sworn to protect Sarah, who must safeguard the Secret Legacy.
Anna DeStefano follows her hit Dark Legacy with Secret Legacy, an exciting and chilling new novel that marks the continuation of a psychic heroine's personal struggle with an aggressive and dangerous organization. It details her fight to save a little girl from this destructive force that seeks to exploit those like her, those with a special ability. Secret Legacy is powerful, thrilling, and far from ordinary. DeStefano is known for specializing in fantasy and romance, and Secret Legacy has its share of both.
The novel is great for avid readers of science fiction/fantasy and fantasy-style romance. Those loyal readers of DeStefano's previous works and, of course, the Legacy book series will undoubtedly appreciate this successful sequel, on bookshelves in May of this year.
