"An old enemy has claimed one of the magic lamps that allows players to change how the game is played.
His wish led to the addition of a new system to Genesis Online: siege mechanics. Rival guilds can now declare war and attack each others' cities. If the attackers win, they take ownership of the defeated settlement.
With few details on how the new system will work, Kevin must build up defenses to protect the town of Prosperity. He will need to train hard with his guild members and recruit allies to ensure they will have enough defenders when the attack finally comes. Will they be ready to withstand the forces of an enemy determined to get revenge? If not, he stands to lose everything he's worked so hard to build in the game."
"Genesis Online has added a new feature that allows players to purchase land and build homes or businesses.
Using the gold he collected while fighting Itrix, Kevin buys a plot of land with visions of creating a settlement that will help him make money playing the game. He plans to buy a neural interface, hoping it will help with his recovery from the accident that left him unable to walk.
Unfortunately, other players, both within his guild and outside of it, have other plans. He has to work hard to prevent a new enemy from stealing the supplies he needs to build up the town. At the same time, members of his own guild question his decisions and threaten to destroy everything he is working towards. Can he find a way to solve his problems and accomplish his goals?"
"Danny is finally headed back home to Diadem to see his family and settle some old wrongs.
The men of Diadem have been sacrificing their own potentials for the sake of the country for long enough, and Danny has the perfect solution."
"Danny died a less than heroic death on Earth, was reincarnated in a new world, gained access to a mental sanctuary that ranks his skills, learned he can do magic, discovered that he can't fly, tricked rich old ladies into buying handbags, crafted himself a crude anti-magic girdle, went to magic school, grew a couple of apple trees, was drafted into a secret paramilitary organization, tamed a pet most people would rather never meet, regrew an elf's ears, gained a split concentration ability in the form of his former Earth self, avoided being kidnapped, was almost eaten by a basalisk, watched an airborn wizard play wack-a-troll, saved his friends from a massive ritualistic magic spell, and did a great impression of a human tree ornament.
Then Danny passed out from blood loss and pain.
Now it is all up to Cranny, the embodiment of Danny's split concentration, to get Danny fixed up before the slowly approaching zombie goblin has a nice woodland picnic."
"Danny's life was going well.
He had a steady job and plans to buy his own place. That was until some rogue junk mail decided he needed a change of scenery.
Now Danny's got a new start in another world, and he needs to make sure he doesn't squander this opportunity at making the most of this new life."
"Kevin was a young man enjoying his college life when a car jumped the curb and crippled his body.
Unable to support himself and dependent on others to meet his needs, Kevin was slipping into depression when his best friend convinced him to play a new game called Genesis Online. The concept was simple: a revolutionary artificial intelligence controlled the game world and adapted it to the actions of the players. Even the developers didn't know what course the game could take as it evolved.
Lured into the game by the prospect of earning real money, Kevin soon runs afoul of a man determined to control as much of Genesis as possible. He recruits other disenfranchised players to his side in his quest to find a way to prosper in the game. Can they stop the man who calls himself the king of Genesis from taking over everything?"
"This exciting, emotionally rich middle grade fantasy continues the adventures of Gabriel Finley and the Raven's Riddle-which has been compared to Harry Potter, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials.

Along with Gabriel's raven, Paladin-with whom he has a magical bond that enables them to become one creature and FLY!-and his three friends, he ventures back to the ruined underground city of Aviopolis to free her from the rune in which she has been imprisoned.

"New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman delivers the definitive story of the life and artistic legacy of David Letterman, the greatest television talk show host of all time and the signature comedic voice of a generation.
In a career spanning more than thirty years, David Letterman redefined the modern talk show with an ironic comic style that transcended traditional television. While he remains one of the most famous stars in America, he is a remote, even reclusive, figure whose career is widely misunderstood. In Letterman, Jason Zinoman, the first comedy critic in the history of the New York Times, mixes groundbreaking reporting with unprecedented access and probing critical analysis to explain the unique entertainer’s titanic legacy. Moving from his early days in Indiana to his retirement, Zinoman goes behind the scenes of Letterman’s television career to illuminate the origins of his revolutionary comedy, its overlooked influences, and how his work intersects with and reveals his famously eccentric personality.
Zinoman argues that Letterman had three great artistic periods, each distinct and part of his evolution. As he examines key broadcasting moments—''Stupid Pet Tricks'' and other captivating segments that defined Late Night with David Letterman—he illuminates Letterman’s relationship to his writers, and in particular, the show’s co-creator, Merrill Markoe, with whom Letterman shared a long professional and personal connection.
To understand popular culture today, it’s necessary to understand David Letterman. With this revealing biography, Zinoman offers a perceptive analysis of the man and the artist whose ironic voice and caustic meta-humor was critical to an entire generation of comedians and viewers—and whose singular style ushered in new tropes that have become clichés in comedy today."
