She’s back, pimpin’ out notable new releases to place on your radar!
JOKER by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo — An original hardcover graphic novel that tells the story of one very dark night in Gotham City — from the creative team behind the graphic novel LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL. The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he’s none to happy about what’s happened to his Gotham City rackets while he’s been “away.” What follows is a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only The Joker can deliver it, as he brutally takes back his stolen assets from The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and others.
DALE BROWN’S DREAMLAND: REVOLUTION by Dale Brown and Jim DeFelice — The masters of astonishing military technology that enables them to deploy almost instantaneously to any part of the Earth, the Dreamland team must now stop a dangerous revolution in the making in Eastern Europe — where a mysterious group of insurgents has blown up an essential pipeline, thereby disrupting Europe’s gas supply. With NATO and the EU paralyzed by the crisis, it falls to Dreamland’s best and brightest to keep the world from the brink of another Cold War. But the secret hand of an old enemy is pulling the strings from the shadows, hoping to reap the rewards of chaos. And the devastating results could erupt with intense, white-hot fury.
ENDER IN EXILE by Orson Scott Card — At the close of ENDER’S GAME, Andrew Wiggin — called Ender by everyone — is told that he can no longer live on Earth, and he realizes that this is the truth. He has become far more than just a boy who won a game: He is the Savior of Earth, a hero, a military genius whose allegiance is sought by every nation of the newly shattered Earth Hegemony. He is offered the choice of living in isolation on Eros, at one of the Hegemony’s training facilities, but instead the 12-year-old chooses to leave his home world and begin the long relativistic journey out to the colonies. With him went his sister Valentine, and the core of the artificial intelligence that would become Jane. The story of those years has never been told … until now.
ARCTIC DRIFT by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler — A potential breakthrough discovery to reverse global warming … a series of unexplained sudden deaths in British Columbia … a rash of international incidents between the United States and one of its closest allies that threatens to erupt into an actual shooting war — NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his children, Dirk. Jr. and Summer, have reason to believe there’s a connection here somewhere, but they also know they have very little time to find it before events escalate out of control. Their only real clue might just be a mysterious silvery mineral traced to a long-ago expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. But no one survived from that doomed mission, captain and crew perished to a man — and if Pitt and his colleague Al Giordino aren’t careful, the very same fate may await them.
