Star Trek: Ishtar Rising Book 1

By: Michael A. Martin,Andy Mangels

Project Ishtar -- a bold endeavor to terraform Venus, the most volatile planet in the solar system, and the grandest achievement in the spectacular career of famed terraformer Dr. Pascal Saadya. But when Saadya hits a snag in the project, he calls upon his old friend, Captain David Gold of the U.S.S. da Vinci. Part of Saadya's team is a Bynar pair, 1011 and 1110, who are using their species' natural affinity for computers to increase efficiency. Saadya's hope is that they can join forces with the da Vinci's Bynar pair. But half of the Bynar pair assigned to the S.C.E. team on the da Vinci was killed months ago, leaving only Soloman -- a non-bonded Bynar who is now a pariah in their culture. Saadya finds himself confronted not only with a failing project, but with Bynar prejudice, as 1011 and 1110 treat Soloman with nothing but contempt....

Profiles in Ignorance

How America's Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber

By: Andy Borowitz

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER *WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER * Andy Borowitz, “one of the funniest people in America” (CBS Sunday Morning), brilliantly “chronicles our embrace of anti-intellectualism” (Walter Isaacson) in American politics, from Ronald Reagan to Dan Quayle, from George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, to its apotheosis in Donald J. Trump. Andy Borowitz has been called a “Swiftian satirist” (The Wall Street Journal) and “one of the country’s finest satirists” (The New York Times). Millions of fans and New Yorker readers enjoy his satirical news column “The Borowitz Report.” Now, in Profiles in Ignorance, he delivers “a wittily alarming polemic that tracks the evolution of American politics from grounds for gravitas to festival of idiocy” (The New York Times). Borowitz argues that over the past fifty years, American politicians have grown increasingly allergic to knowledge, and mass media have encouraged the election of ignoramuses by elevating candidates who are better at performing than thinking. Starting with Ronald Reagan’s first campaign for governor of California in 1966 and culminating with the election of Donald J. Trump to the White House, Borowitz shows how, during the age of twenty-four-hour news and social media, the US has elected politicians to positions of great power whose lack of the most basic information is terrifying. In addition to Reagan, Quayle, Bush, Palin, and Trump, Borowitz covers a host of congresspersons, senators, and governors who have helped lower the bar over the past five decades. Profiles in Ignorance aims to make us both laugh and cry: laugh at the idiotic antics of these public figures, and cry at the cataclysms these icons of ignorance have caused. But most importantly, the book delivers a call to action and a cause for optimism: History doesn’t move in a straight line, and we can change course if we act now.

« Il existe deux sortes d'individus sur cette terre. Ceux qui acceptent de se laisser couvrir de merde et se font juste ensevelir petit à petit. Et ceux qui envoient tout le monde se faire foutre. Ceux-là sont plus heureux. » Autrefois, Teddy a été une rock star. Les feux de la rampe, les foules en délire et les tubes sur lesquels les filles arrachent leur chemise ont rythmé son quotidien. Aujourd'hui, l'ancien chanteur des Tremble mène une vie d'un ennui mortel dans un cabinet d'avocats à l'atmosphère étouffante, en compagnie d'une femme qu'il finira peut-être par aimer. Redoutant de devenir ce has-been qu'on croise dans les colonnes « gloires fanées » de la presse people, Ted décide qu'il est temps de renaître de ses cendres. Alors que les fans sont en voie de disparition et que les anciens rockeurs ont pris des voies différentes, Teddy décide de les réunir pour sortir l'album qu'il a composé dans un sursaut artistique... Délicieusement déjanté. « Drôle et sincère, un roman qui résonne longtemps. » Washington Post « Un livre plein de mordant, mené de main de maître. » Booklist « Tout s'enchaîne à un rythme effréné et sonne incroyablement juste, l'émotion comme les dialogues. Un premier roman remarquable. » Kirkus « Quel talent ! » David Small, auteur de Almost Famous
