However, when Jess starts to recover, he rocks Gabriel's world by

personal life, Gabriel becomes embroiled in the life and story of

The exclusive origin story of Sojourn-once commander of Overwatch
and steward of its future-based on the smash-hit video game from
Blizzard Entertainment. In the early days of the Omnic Crisis,
there were few heroes to be found amid the devastation, or even on
the warfront that pushed humanity to the brink. But in Canada, a
brilliant young captain named Vivian Chase refuses to cede her
nation to the mindless robots pouring out of the Detroit omnium.
Chase has yet to meet a lost cause she can't save, even one as dire
as this. To expel the omnics from her home and staunch the flow of
enemy forces into Canada, Chase will need resources, and these days
only one organization has what it takes to stop the invasion:
Overwatch. But when the Overwatch strike team arrives, it isn't
quite what she had in mind-a disgruntled Swedish engineer, an
American from the soldier enhancement program at odds with his
commander, and a brilliant scientist whose dreams of a robotic
revolution were in part what caused the Crisis. In a race against
time, Chase will have to use what she's been given to form an elite
fighting force and a winning strategy that can take the fight to
the omnium . . . even if it costs them all their lives.
Award-winning author Temi Oh puts the sheer devastation of the
Omnic Crisis-one of the most momentous events in Overwatch
history-into stark relief. Sojourn's tale is one of grit, heroism,
and the fight to build a better tomorrow, even if it's one she and
her troops might not live to see. A must-read for any Overwatch
fan.
"What does it feel like to wake up in the Panopticon? It’s like
waking up for the first time ever. It’s like waking up with a
third eye." When Moremi connects her brain to the Panopticon, a
network which allows you to see inside the minds and dreams of
others, she believes that the technology will save her from
depression, loneliness and, eventually, death. That is until she
meets Orpheus. Orpheus was brought up in isolation by a
Neo-luddite father. He was raised to question everything, including
the government who plan to make the connection procedure
compulsory. They promise that connecting everyone to the
Panopticon will end human suffering and usher in a more perfect
world. But when Orpheus and Moremi uncover the dark side of the
technology, they find themselves on opposite sides of a radical
divide, between those who believe that the Panopticon will save
humanity, and those who will stop at nothing to destroy it. Deftly
weaving through strands of Greek mythology, Temi Oh poses timely
questions about technology, identity and the cost of progress. This
novel will be perfect for fans of Inception, and books by Dave
Eggars and Madeline Miller.  Praise for Temi Oh 'A
major new voice. Read Temi Oh today. Everybody will be
reading her tomorrow' Stephen Baxter, author of World Engines
'An ambitious 500-page coming-of-age blockbuster . .
.Oh is excellent at portraying the aching sense of
loss on a one-way trip to the stars' Guardian
'A tightly wound, emotional epic that asks
important questions . . . This novel is
a brilliant, beautiful debut. Reading it will
change your heart'Â Christian Kiefer, author
of Phantoms Â

During the Pacific War, more than 200,000 Korean girls were forced
into sexual servitude for Japanese soldiers. They lived in horrific
conditions in “comfort stations” across Japanese-occupied
territories. Barely 10 percent survived to return to Korea, where
they lived as social outcasts. Since then, self-declared comfort
women have come forward only to have their testimonies and calls
for compensation largely denied by the Japanese government. Kim
Soom tells the story of a woman who was kidnapped at the age of
thirteen while gathering snails for her starving family. The
horrors of her life as a sex slave follow her back to Korea, where
she lives in isolation gripped by the fear that her past will be
discovered. Yet, when she learns that the last known comfort woman
is dying, she decides to tell her there will still be “one
left” after her passing, and embarks on a painful journey. One
Left is a provocative, extensively researched novel constructed
from the testimonies of dozens of comfort women. The first Korean
novel devoted to this subject, it rekindled conversations about
comfort women as well as the violent legacies of Japanese
colonialism. This first-ever English translation recovers the
overlooked and disavowed stories of Korea’s most marginalized
women.
Volume 2, "The Virility of Mischiefs," explores abuses (small to
largest) and how those abuses spread to others like a family tree,
the content being presented in the style of Volume 1. Both volumes
interlace and overlap.

New York Times bestselling author Axie
Oh's ASAP is the much anticipated companion novel to
beloved romance XOXO, following fan favorites Sori, the
wealthy daughter of a K-pop company owner, and Nathaniel, her K-pop
star ex-boyfriend, in a swoon-worthy second chance love story. Sori
has worked her whole life to become a K-pop idol, until she
realizes she doesn’t want a life forever in the spotlight. But
that’s not actually up to Sori—she’s caught between her
exacting mother’s entertainment company and her father’s
presidential aspirations. And as the pressure to keep her flawless
public image grows, the last person she should be thinking about is
her ex-boyfriend. Nathaniel is off limits—she knows this. A
member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world and forbidden
from dating, he isn’t any more of an option now than he was two
years ago. Still, she can’t forget that their whirlwind romance
was the last time she remembers being really happy. Or that his
family welcomed her into their home when she needed it most. . . .
So when Nathaniel finds himself rocked by scandal, Sori offers him
a hideaway with her. And back in close quarters, it’s hard to
deny their old feelings. But when Sori gets an opportunity to break
free from her parent’s expectations, she will have to decide: Is
her future worth sacrificing for a second chance at love?
Presented here are odd stories within a story - disjoined chapters
which can stand alone while also flowing together. Although this is
a work of fiction much fact is intertwined, giving life to the
creative aspects - but it's not for the faint of heart or those who
get offended at books. Throughout the text over 800 questions are
posed to the reader, providing the opportunity to customize the
content to oneself. And what exactly does the title mean?
