From the mean streets of Moseley to the oceanfront villas of Diamond Beach, crime affects everyone in Avalon. And the presence of the superhumans known around the city as "specials" hasn't necessarily made life for the average citizen any better, since the local vigilantes are as apt to demand payment for their protection as they are to provide their services for free. The crime-fighting duo of King Ace and Fazer are true heroes, not vigilantes, as Fazer explains the difference to a reporter interviewing him for the Avalon Sentinel. A hero doesn't expect thanks or payment, he helps people because it is the right thing to do. And a hero doesn't kill anyone, ever. All Fazer and the big guy are trying to do is make everyday life better for everyone who lives in their city. But even heroes face temptation.

In December 2012, the U.S. government launched a secret program to create superhumans called Ascendants. In July 2018, the U.S. government lost control over them. Now, America enters a new era in which ordinary men and women can become the heroes we need... or the monsters we fear. TIME TO ASCEND!

克洛伊·安德森（Chloe Anderson）白天是一名物理系学生，是一个勤奋、聪明的女孩，她和她的疯狂科学家教授关系密切，并作为助教与他一起工作。 她也是一个超级英雄，元女孩。 约翰尼·本维努蒂（Johnny Benvinutti）来自一个知名的意大利犯罪家族，最近他发现自己有能力用手发射闪电。他经营着一家咖啡店的门面生意。当他们两个相遇时，《火花》在多个层面上飞溅。但他们能在保持关系的同时对彼此保密吗？

Ben Garrison was sick of banker bailouts, political corruption and vanishing freedom. He decided to do something. He published his political cartoons on the Internet where they were seen by millions. Then came a legion of trolls on a twisted mission to destroy his reputation and silence him. But Ben Garrison would not be silenced....

Betrayal. Brotherhood. Romance. To the half-fae Asgradi, loyalty is the chieftain of virtues. When the unthinkable happens and his own council betrays him, High Thane Witheric responds with the even more unthinkable: seeking help from the inferior race of humankind. With only his closest friend and right hand man, his Thanesman Restag, at his side, Thane and Thanesman risk the coming winter, the monsters of their wild Northlands, and their own people’s blood wars, racing south for sanctuary. Will they reach help or fall to their brutal lands? And if they do survive, what future awaits them in the human-ruled south? Find out in the first book in The Thanesman Chronicles.

有人——或者什么东西——正在消灭芝加哥的犯罪头目。联邦调查局代理法官正在调查此案。她是一个超人，有能力看到过去。但即使她有能力看到发生了什么，也无法解释不可能的事情。联邦调查局并不是唯一一个有兴趣了解更多关于城里新玩家的机构。在寻找对芝加哥犯罪领主造成严重破坏的神秘杀手的过程中，联邦调查局代理法官和芝加哥警察局侦探卡拉汉发现了杀手的下一个目标，却发现自己面对的是一个比人类更无情、更无情的生物.

AI generated art using text prompts are a new, controversial means of creating visual art. The cowboy and the shepherd have working dogs to assist them. The spaceman relies on his blaster and android assistant to complete his mission. The writer can now use an AI artist to create art for his written creations. Join us as we explore this new creative process by taking classic prose stories, feeding them to our supportive silicon sketcher, and share the results with you.

新日历八四六六年。在一场全球金融灾难之后，吸血鬼族在二千六百多年来首次走出阴影，向一个毫无戒心的人类揭示存在。吸血鬼有效控制了媒体、各国政府、全球金融体系和主要国际机构。人类无力抵抗他们的权力。 但从中世纪的十字军命令中汲取灵感，十二个人联合起来，组成了一个新的军事命令，即迈克尔骑士团和罗马地下墓穴骑士团。迈克尔骑士团除了他们的毅力和对敌人有害的鲜血外，几乎没有别的武器，他们与午夜世界的吸血鬼领主展开了一场苛刻的战争。
