Drug smugglers have claimed sections of the US-Mexico border as their home turf, turning hundreds of square miles into a no-mans-land for US citizens and a deadly gamut for illegal migrants. A lack of political will has prevented any decisive action to be taken to secure the area. Thats about to change. . . Returned from Europe after international pressure boiled up over the way they secured the Russian chemical weapons dump, the 289th Engineer Group is sent to an isolated stretch of border in New Mexico to serve out its tour of duty. All they thought they would have to do is fix the fence and upgrade the road, but some in their chain of command have other ideas. Sergeant Major Grant and his NCOs are to secure the area, with permission to operate secretly in Mexico. What they havent been told is the Mexican officer they are working with also controls the local drug trade, and he has no plans to let the Americans succeed. It will take a dangerous plan to take out the smuggling activity, and a lot of luck to avoid starting a war.

In the technologically advanced African city of Numbani, in the not-so-distant future, humans live in harmony with humanoid robots known as omnics. But when a terrorist tries to shatter that unity, a hero named Efi Oladele rises! Efi has been making robots since she was little -- machines to better her community and improve people's lives. But after she witnesses Doomfist's catastrophic attack on the city's OR15 security bots, Efi feels the call to build something greater: a true guardian of Numbani.While Doomfist sows discord between humans and omnics, Efi engineers an intelligent and compassionate robot, Orisa, named after the powerful spirits who guide her people. Orisa has a lot to learn before she's ready to defeat Doomfist, but Efi has some learning to do, too, especially when it comes to building -- and being -- a hero. With Doomfist rallying his forces, and the military powerless to stop him, can Efi mold Orisa into the hero of Numbani before it's too late?This action-packed novel features the fan-favorite characters Efi, Orisa, Doomfist, and Lucio in an all-new, original story straight from the minds of the Overwatch game team and critically acclaimed author Nicky Drayden!

The must-have guide for all artists who draw the human figure!

In Morpho: Hands and Feet, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a unique approach to learning to draw the human body. In this book, Lauricella focuses exclusively on the hands and feet—arguably the most popular and, for many, the most challenging parts of the body to draw successfully. Breaking the subject matter down into the underlying skeletal shapes, followed by the musculature, then the skin and fat, and finally, the veins, Lauricella offers multiple approaches—from simple forms to complex renderings—and a plethora of positions and gestures are included to help you improve your drawing skills.

Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity. Whether your interest is in figure drawing, fine arts, fashion design, game design, or creating comic book or manga art, you will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights.

(Publisher's Note: This book features an “exposed” binding style. This is intentional as it is designed to help the book lay flat as you draw.)
