Battle Royale: The Novel
by Koushun Takami Yuji OnikiIn an alternative future Japan, junior high students are forced to fight to the death! Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller is based on an irresistible premise: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill one another until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan--where it then proceeded to become a runaway bestseller--Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world. Made into a controversial hit movie of the same name, Battle Royale is already a contemporary Japanese pulp classic, now available for the first time in the English language. A group of high school students are taken to small isolated island and forced to fight each other until only one remains alive! If they break the rules a special collar blows their heads off. Koushun Takami's brutal, high-octane thriller is told in breathless, blow-by-blow fashion.

Battle for the Blood (Latter-day Olympians)
by Lucienne DiverTori Karacis knows it’s going to be a bad day when she wakes to two shocking realizations. One, she's in bed with a very naked Apollo, having lost her struggle to resist her attraction to him. Two, she still has her wings. Not dinky little fairy wings, but full-scale, cover-’em-with-a-trenchcoat bat wings. Apollo suggests consulting the Gray Sisters about the wing problem. Those cannibalistic, psychopathic oracles who—even with only one tooth and one eye among them—manage to see too much. For one thing, they’ve foreseen a Rapture, zombie-apocalypse, biblical-plague, hellgates-busted-open end of the world. While the Sisters are perfectly cool with death and destruction, the thinning of the human herd doesn't sit well with them at all. They’ll help Tori. All she has to do is save the world. Tori and her team trace the origin of the plagues to New York City, which is under quarantine and martial law (as if that would enough to stop the influx of gods and gorgons, dragons and demons). But as death threatens from the outside, betrayal lurks within Tori’s circle of friends. And nobody is safe. Nobody.
