Alice Raikes wants to escape. Her whole life, she expected something important to happen, but she has a dead end job, lives in Texas, and is transgender to boot. Things are not going well. When the sun goes out, her first response is: "Finally." Five minutes later, the sun switches back on, and everybody acts like nothing happened. Only Alice and her friends remember the Five Minute Darkness, but they cannot explain it. When Alice discovers a mysterious silver sphere, it turns out to be an Artifact of Doom that puts her and her friends on a collision course with the mysterious Five, who have manipulated history and have a grudge against them -- for reasons Alice and her friends are unaware. Complicating things is a madwoman named Katherine who wants to kill every version of herself in existence, because reasons. Little does anyone realize the Five Minute Darkness is symptomatic of a bigger problem created by the Five, which threatens to tear their universes apart. It figures Alice's One Great Thing would be the End of the World. "Excitement, Adventure, and Really Wild Things" is Book One in the Navigator series, a sci-fi superhero space opera fantasy. (Phew!) Starting from a world similar (but not identical) to our own, it introduces our luckless "heroes" and shoves them face first into a cosmos where time travel, gender-bending, and parallel universes are par for the course. It also has an unhealthy obsession with the number five. It is anti-authoritarian, a little bit queer, and laced with geek humor.

In Today Everything Is Different Dirk Lange does not fail to deliver the unexpected in helping readers gain both a greater understanding of Christian spirituality and a path to it. On this adventure, an adventure of both the mind and heart, the reader will explore the foundational underpinnings of baptism, the impact of prayer in many forms--especially in community--and the insights of giants like Luther and Bonhoeffer. The great beauty of the book, however, is found in the incredibly moving stories Lange shares, including personal stories of the prayer groups and underground church in East Germany prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall. In these, we see firsthand evidence of the spiritual power to be discovered as we simply, faithfully, and prayerfully embrace the gift given in baptism; live faithfully in our everyday lives; and respond to God's call as a community to walk arm in arm into the world alongside and for our neighbor.
It is assumed that every inch of the world has been explored and charted; that there is nowhere new to go. But perhaps it is the everyday places around us—the cities we live in—that need to be rediscovered. What does it feel like to find the city’s edge, to explore its forgotten tunnels and scale unfinished skyscrapers high above the metropolis? Explore Everything reclaims the city, recasting it as a place for endless adventure. Plotting expeditions from London, Paris, Berlin, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Bradley L. Garrett has evaded urban security in order to experience the city in ways beyond the boundaries of conventional life. He calls it ‘place hacking’: the recoding of closed, secret, hidden and forgotten urban space to make them realms of opportunity. Explore Everything is an account of the author’s escapades with the London Consolidation Crew, an urban exploration collective. The book is also a manifesto, combining philosophy, politics and adventure, on our rights to the city and how to understand the twenty-first century metropolis.
