But within months of arriving on campus, Andrew's association with Bianca threatens to destroy his promising academic career and his relationship with his first love, Catherine.

This eighth and final book in the Your Winding Daybreak Ways series, the novella, Babylon: A Human Requiem, opens with the English PhD candidate, Kyle, editing his sister, Samantha's, completed manuscripts of the seven previous novels in the Your Winding Daybreak Ways series and the unfinished draft of an eighth work tentatively entitled, Babylon: A Human Requiem. This eighth manuscript has remained unfinished because Kyle's sister disappeared ten years earlier without a trace. During the editing process, Kyle becomes convinced the seven completed novels closely parallel his sister's life and hold clues to her disappearance and perhaps to her whereabouts. His investigation leads him from Block Island, Rhode Island, to Williamstown, Massachusetts, and from Washington, D. C. to Maui, Hawaii. As the result of his investigation, Kyle learns disturbing things about his own life; Samantha becomes a character in her own unfinished work; and Kyle, rather than finish editing the drafts for his PhD, is left to complete Babylon and publish the overall encyclopedic narrative as the Your Winding Daybreak Ways series.
This seventh book in the Your Winding Daybreak Ways series opens: "The whisperers said I am what I am because the gods punished my parents for their incestuous love. But punished them with my loneliness? My awkwardness? My emotional deafness? My obsessions? My compulsions? My outbursts? My fears? My unending quest for acceptance? My unanswered prayers for deliverance? My refuge in motherboards?" Thunderwood depicts the tortured life of Danielle and Sam's love child, Jason, as he escapes the social backwaters of high school to become a world-class hacker who develops software that the U.S. government hopes will protect the national electricity grid from a full-scale terrorist cyber attack.

Gary Webb had an inborn journalistic tendency to track down corruption and expose it. For over thirty-four years, he wrote stories about corruption from county, state, and federal levels. He had an almost magnetic effect to these kinds of stories, and it was almost as if the stories found him. It was his gift, and, ultimately, it was his downfall. He was best known for his story Dark Alliance, written for the San Jose Mercury News in 1996. In it Webb linked the CIA to the crack-cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the Iran Contra scandal. His only published book, Dark Alliance is still a classic of contemporary journalism. But his life consisted of much more than this one story, and The Killing Game is a collection of his best investigative stories from his beginning at the Kentucky Post to his end at the Sacramento News & Review. It includes Webb's series at the Kentucky Post on organized crime in the coal industry, at the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Ohio State’s negligent medical board, and on the US military’s funding of first-person shooter video games. The Killing Game is a dedication to his life’s work outside of Dark Alliance, and it’s an exhibition of investigative journalism in its truest form.
