The world cries out for justice, peace, healing, and inspiration -
and heroes arise. Unfortunately, they stick around after that.
Everything in the city is new to John-Paul, including a new
identity he never asked for and strange abilities everyone seems to
take for granted. Is this all just a cruel hoax on a wide-eyed
farmboy? Everyone wants something from Pandora, and she'll go along
just to figure out what's happening. Is there more to this
photojournalism intern than she thinks? Everywhere conspiracies
lurk in Titian's mind. Is the old man as rich and powerful as he
seems, or is he as much of a pawn as he considers his underlings?
Every day is another chance for the world to spin out of control
around Clownfish. Is she the only one who wonders exactly when and
where everything went wrong? Perhaps the imminent destruction of
their city, home to millions of perfectly average people happy to
leave heroics to heroes, will clarify their thinking - if it
doesn't kill them all first.

The city is a haven for dreamers and idealists who spend their time
in ornately mundane ways. Now and then someone escapes to touch the
face of the sky. Life is what you make it. It's hard to be a
grown-up but too easy to take things seriously. One day, Ben woke
up with a good job, a house, and no idea what he wanted out of
life. Then she knocked his comfortable world askew. In one brief
moment of clarity, he saw the whole picture: life, the universe,
and his place in it. Now all he knows is that if he can do it
again, he has a chance to achieve what everyone wants. Respect...
Independence... Satisfaction... Fulfillment... Contentment... This
is how Ben turned 30.

Nature takes a surprising turn in the heart of Texas. The flat Gulf
Coastal Plains, which become the fertile Blackland Prairies in
Central Texas, end abruptly at the Balcones Escarpment, one of the
state's most dramatic geological features, and the rolling, more
sparsely vegetated Hill Country begins. The animal life varies as
dramatically as the land. More than 400 species of birds alone,
nearly three-fourths of all Texas birds, can be spotted in the
region. This handbook offers a concise natural history of Central
Texas and a complete checklist of all native and naturalized
vertebrate animals, including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians,
and fish, as well as invertebrates that include butterflies and
land snails. The listings cite both scientific and common names for
each species, relative abundance in the region, and preferred
habitats. A distinguishing feature of the handbook is its list of
parks and recreational areas in the region, which includes the
counties of Bastrop, Bell, Bexar, Blanco, Burleson, Burnet,
Caldwell, Comal, Fayette, Gillespie, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Hays,
Kendall, Lee, Llano, Milam, Travis, and Williamson. The authors
describe the recreational facilities available in each park and
list the animal species likely to be encountered there. For
birdwatchers, naturalists, visitors, and residents alike, this
popular handbook will be the essential "where-to-find-it"
reference.
