Johnny Winger barely escapes Symborg at Mt Kipwezi, Kenya, trying to rescue troopers missing from the Corps. The nanotroopers have to retreat and re-group. Kraft recalls the unit back to Table Top. They’ll have to engage Symborg and Red Hammer a different way. Now Red Hammer sets about on a new mission: to disassemble and replace as many key people in politics, business, sports, entertainment, and religion with their own angels as possible. And robotic messiah Symborg promotes this process, gaining more adherents every day. Somehow, Quantum Corps must stop Symborg and block what Red Hammer is doing. Symborg is tracked leaving Kipwezi and winds up in Kolkata, India. 1st Nano tries to follow Symborg but is defeated by a strange quantum device inside a Hindu temple. Meanwhile an unknown installation in Tibet has fired on Quantum Corps drones and satellites also trying to follow Symborg. Winger and 1st Nano are directed to reconnoiter the area, but come under attack and have to retreat. At Table Top, Quantum Corps Labs have developed a new weapon intended to permanently disperse angels and impede them from swarming together. The weapon is called a swarm inhibiter and it seems to work well in tests. A new operation is planned to insert this device inside the Symborg swarm, if Q2 can locate the base swarm and master assembler. But when the op begins, Johnny Winger finds that his embedded ANAD can’t be fully controlled…somehow Symborg or Red Hammer has compromised ANAD. Or maybe the inhibiter has unanticipated effects. One of the troopers turns out to be an angel and turns on the Detachment…and only Winger manages to escape. Watch for Episode 8 to see how Johnny Winger and Quantum Corps counter this latest threat.

"Good Lord, Jeeves! Is there anything you don't know?"
"I could not say, sir."
That, in brief, is the essence of the relationship between aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his dryly superior valet, Jeeves. Originally published in The Strand magazine from 1918 to 1922 and later collected as The Inimitable Jeeves, these ten tales by comedic master P. G. Wodehouse abound in sparkling wit.
"Scoring off Jeeves" recounts a lunch with Aunt Agatha ("A pretty frightful ordeal … Practically the nearest thing to being disemboweled."), who insists that Bertie propose to Honaria Glossop ("simply nothing more nor less than a pot of poison"), necessitating Jeeves' rescue of the perennial bachelor ("and according to my nearest and dearest, practically a half-witted bachelor at that"). Other stories include "The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace," featuring Bertie's frolicsome cousins ("as innocuous as a pair of sprightly young tarantulas"); "Aunt Agatha Takes the Count," involving our hero's formidable relative and her intrusion upon his vacation in the south of France; and "Comrade Bingo," in which Bertie's school chum masquerades as a Bolshevist and Jeeves comes very near to being rattled.

The first biography written with the cooperation of the Lynott Estate, Cowboy Song explores the fascinating contradictions between Philip Lynott's unbridled rock star excesses and the shy, sensitive "orphan" raised in working-class Dublin. The mixed-race child of a Catholic teenager and a Guyanese stowaway, Lynott rose above daunting obstacles and wounding abandonments to lead Thin Lizzy as Ireland's first rock star.Cowboy Song analyses his unsettled childhood; musical apprenticeship; key alliances with the poets, painters, and folkies of 1960s Dublin; stardom with Thin Lizzy; and drug-induced decline. It examines the unique blend of cultural influences which informed Lynott's writing, connecting Ireland's rich reserves of music, myth, and poetry to hard rock, progressive folk, punk, soul, and new wave. The results—including the hits "Whiskey in the Jar," "The Boys Are Back in Town," and "Dancing in the Moonlight," and classic albums Jailbreak and Live and... Views: 248
