Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins with Veronica. She is a singer working for a rebellious organization fixed on deterring the Australian Pope’s plans. She is living with her fiance and brother. The company finds that the way of destroying the Pope is by Veronica getting experimented on. After Veronica gets abducted, the story splits to Reuben. He is coping with his mother’s arrest by joining a gang and doing drugs. When the city gets destroyed, he teams up with Jessica, Mikey, Karishma and the rest of the characters from Veronica’s story. They travel through the dilapidated city in search of survivors. Once enough survivors are accumulated, everyone starts to live in the wilderness. They face Sangworms, which are blood sucking parasites that turn you into zombies. They meet Sheva and Shaddrach who are soldiers in search of a promised land (Celsta). They also discovered a radio with communication to Australia. They are led to a safe haven. Stephen, Veronica’s fiance, begins falling in love with Jessica after getting infected with a deadly virus. We come back to Veronica who is in outerspace being experimented on. She wakes up with superpowers that she can’t understand. Her goal is to escape the outerspace facility and make it back home. There are many obstacles and traps that she must overcome and fight lots of people. This sequence in the book is similar to “Escape the Night,” “Resident Evil,” “Three Percent,” or “Saw.” After she overcomes all the tests and booby traps and fights other super powered people and creatures, she learns just what this evil Pope is really thinking and gets inside his sick, demented thought-process which is seemingly Biblical or Catholic in nature. She finally makes it back to Earth, but there is nothing left.

Book excerpt: 2019 Best-Of Lists: 10 Best Science Books of the Year (Smithsonian Magazine) · Best Science Books of the Year (NPR's Science Friday) · Best Science and Technology Books from 2019” (Library Journal) An astute and timely examination of the re-emergence of scientific research into racial differences. Superior tells the disturbing story of the persistent thread of belief in biological racial differences in the world of science. After the horrors of the Nazi regime in World War II, the mainstream scientific world turned its back on eugenics and the study of racial difference. But a worldwide network of intellectual racists and segregationists quietly founded journals and funded research, providing the kind of shoddy studies that were ultimately cited in Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray’s 1994 title The Bell Curve, which purported to show differences in intelligence among races. If the vast majority of scientists and scholars disavowed these ideas and considered race a social construct, it was an idea that still managed to somehow survive in the way scientists thought about human variation and genetics. Dissecting the statements and work of contemporary scientists studying human biodiversity, most of whom claim to be just following the data, Angela Saini shows us how, again and again, even mainstream scientists cling to the idea that race is biologically real. As our understanding of complex traits like intelligence, and the effects of environmental and cultural influences on human beings, from the molecular level on up, grows, the hope of finding simple genetic differences between “races”—to explain differing rates of disease, to explain poverty or test scores, or to justify cultural assumptions—stubbornly persists. At a time when racialized nationalisms are a resurgent threat throughout the world, Superior is a rigorous, much-needed examination of the insidious and destructive nature of race science—and a powerful reminder that, biologically, we are all far more alike than different.
