Thanks to a run-in with two corporations, a nasty case of mixed-up memories and a worse case of betrayal stamped on her back, she’s got a trail of dead friends and bad choices behind her no credible merc wants to touch. She’s officially on the outs, and on-the-outs-mercs of her caliber are glorified stepping stones for every freak job, chumhead, and chromed-out wannabe who thinks they can take her on.If that wasn’t bad enough, her street doc’s left her, her old team doesn’t trust her, the cop in her pocket’s getting delusions of grandeur, and those corp suits keep sending in the jackboot clowns. All of it is getting in the way of what she wants most—to find who landed her in the lab where everything all started, who made her girlfriend into patient zero Necro Mary there, and what turned a four block radius into a playground for every saint’s worst nightmare.Plan’s simple: tear everything and everybody apart until somebody says something smart. That’s easy.

Narnia and the Fields of Arbol: The Environmental Vision of C.S. Lewis (Culture of the Land #Cull)
by Matthew Dickerson David O'HaraAn exploration of the Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy that &“enriches our understanding of how to care for our world&” (Alan Jacobs, author of Breaking Bread with the Dead). In Narnia and the Fields of Arbol: The Environmental Vision of C. S. Lewis, authors Matthew Dickerson and David O&’Hara illuminate an important yet overlooked aspect of the author&’s visionary work. They go beyond traditional theological discussions of Lewis&’s writing to investigate themes of sustainability, stewardship of natural resources, and humanity&’s relationship to wilderness. The authors examine the environmental and ecological underpinnings of Lewis&’s work by exploring his best-known works of fantasy, including the seven books of the Chronicles of Narnia and the three novels collectively referred to as the Space Trilogy. Taken together, these works reveal Lewis&’s enduring environmental concerns, and Dickerson and O&’Hara offer a new understanding of his pioneering style of fiction. Narnia and the Fields of Arbol, the first book-length work on the subject, finds the author&’s legacy to have as much in common with the agrarian environmentalism of Wendell Berry as it does with the fantasy of J. R. R. Tolkien. In an era of increasing concern about deforestation, climate change, and other environmental issues, Lewis&’s work remains as pertinent as ever. The widespread adaption of his work in film lends credence to the author&’s staying power as an influential voice in both fantastical fiction and environmental literature. With Narnia and the Fields of Arbol, Dickerson and O'Hara have written a timely work of scholarship that offers a fresh perspective on one of the most celebrated authors in literary history. &“Both revelatory and a pleasure to read.&” —Robert Siegel, award-winning author of The Whalesong Trilogy
