Showing results for "Supernova" in Genre Fiction

Black and white no longer exist in a post-apocalyptic world swirling with shades of gray, and the Standings must find a way to survive the dark matter hurricane and stitch their frayed family back together. Or face complete annihilation at the hands of a maniacal madman who will do anything - and destroy anyone - in his quest to dominate. This thrilling post-apocalyptic box set includes all four novels in the Supernova EMP series.

What's fascinating about Dani Shapiro's story "Supernova" is "its focus on the minor catastrophe that is Shenkman, a relatively prosperous man whose minor shortcomings feel, to him alone, monumental and impossible to overlook," writes Benjamin Samuel, co-editor of Electric Literature, in his introduction to this issue of Recommended Reading. "Despite rowing every day, obsessively racing against an old rival in a computerized simulation, nobody even knows Shenkman is still competing."

Der letzte Tag der Menschheit ist angebrochen. Eine gewaltige Strahlenwolke, ausgelöst durch eine Sternexplosion acht Jahre zuvor, wird schon bald alle Menschen über dreizehn Jahren töten. Seit acht Jahren läuft der Countdown, und seitdem werden die Kinder und Jugendlichen der Welt auf eine Zukunft allein vorbereitet. Einige von ihnen jedoch wollen gar nicht so weitermachen wie zuvor. Sie träumen von einer neuen, einer besseren Zukunft für sich und ihren Planeten. Dies ist ihre Geschichte.

The firefight for the M-Bar’s valuable resources rages on in the post-apocalyptic madness, but the Standings are finally standing together...until secrets that Maxine has tried to keep buried come to light. And when they do, they threaten to severe the last tenuous strands holding the family together. Reeling from betrayals that cut deeper than flying bullets, Josh Standing follows after his revenge-seeking father-in-law. He doesn’t seem to have much choice, as it seems the Standings are collapsing from within and there isn’t anything that can keep them together.

Josh Standing took an oath to serve and protect those of their North Carolina community. That didn’t change when he left the police force to become a probation officer. If only his wife understood his drive to rescue tomorrow’s troubled youth. But Maxine’s greatest concern is to ensure their son survives the cancer that has ravaged his body. As their marriage circles the drain, she takes the once promising athlete to face the final pronouncement of the Boston specialists - alone. But the fractured family has never needed each other more.

Adapt or die. There is no other choice. Black and white no longer exist in a world swirling with shades of gray. To survive the post-apocalyptic nightmare they face, Josh Standing must find a way to stitch his frayed family back together. But with the lives of his wife and kids on the line, Josh must finally face the truth of this new reality - he may not be able to save everyone. The professor is another story. The man’s only concern is continuing his research, regardless of the cost to those protecting him.
