Rodric Vale is done playing defense. Three weeks after holding off the Successor's assault on the barrier, he's stronger than ever — and when he learns the demons are building a weapon that could tear reality apart permanently, he doesn't wait for them to finish it. He goes in after it. For the first time in history, a human force crosses into demon territory. But even if Rodric destroys the weapon and defeats the Successor, he'll discover the demon threat was never the real danger. Something ancient was waiting long before the barrier existed — and it's finally starting to stir.

Talking to people about your designs might seem like a basic skill, but it can be difficult to do well. In many cases, how you communicate with stakeholders, clients, and other non-designers may be more important than the designs themselves. Because if you can't get their support, your work will never see the light of day - no matter how good it is. This practical guide focuses on principles, tactics, and actionable methods for presenting your designs.

The war for existence has begun. And Rodric is about to become something more than a hero.

The Confederacy lost the war and won the memory. Its armies were destroyed, its claim to nationhood erased, and the idea those armies carried into the field outlived them all. In The Synthetic Cause, David Boles traces how a beaten cause captured the story of its own defeat. It wrote the textbooks, raised the monuments, sainted the losers, and walked back into American institutions through the front door. The old machinery worked in bronze and marble and said out loud what it wanted. The machinery running now has learned to hide.

To recant is to take back a belief in public, under pressure, in front of the people who demanded the reversal. The word carries an older sense underneath the modern one. It comes from the Latin for singing again, and the act it names is a song performed backward, on command, so that the saying can stand in for the truth. In My Mind I'm Standing Up is a history of that act, traced from the Inquisition and the Reformation through the Moscow show trials, the Hollywood blacklist, and the Maoist struggle session, and into the public apology of our own moment.

The title comes from "The Atomic Man," the seventh story in the collection, where a teenager named Calvin Reece understands what he has become. He has become light: the loneliest thing in the universe, touching everything, holding nothing. But the phrase describes all twelve protagonists. Each one reaches the world in some remarkable way and finds that the reach itself prevents the grasp. They affect everything around them and possess nothing of what they most need: ordinary human closeness, the unremarkable warmth of being known without being studied, feared, worshipped, or fled from.
