Drinking heavily and drifting from one failed relationship to another, Nathan Leer's life begins unraveling when his latest girlfriend Adelita freaks out and flees, accusing him of assault and battery. As well, his struggling coffee shop is sinking and the bailiff is about to come knocking. Enter the evil Beal, who tries to recruit him into a life of lasciviousness and self-indulgence. On the verge of succumbing, he is suddenly transported to planet Orgon, where he meets Ophelia, a beautiful and mysterious alien. She teaches Nathan that on Orgon the concepts of materialism, greed and corruption are non-existent and he begins to question the very core of his moral fiber. What he doesn't know is Beal has an alliance with a distant planet and is secretly planning to corrupt Earth and attack Orgon. Beal wants Nathan so bad, he's willing to do anything to brainwash him--even if it means cold-blooded murder. An epic battle erupts, pitting the forces of good and evil against one another in the context of the American Dream.

Few areas of human expertise are so well understood that they can be completely reduced to general principles. Similarly, there are few domains in which experience is so extensive that every new problem precisely matches a previous problem whose solution is known. When neither rules nor examples are individually sufficient, problem-solving expertise depends on integrating both. This book presents a computational framework for the integration of rules and cases for analytic tasks typified by legal analysis. The book uses the framework for integrating cases and rules as a basis for a new model of legal precedents. This model explains how the theory under which a case is decided controls the case's precedential effect. The framework for integrating rules and cases is implemented in GREBE, a system for legal analysis. The book presents techniques for representing, indexing, and comparing complex cases and for converting justification structures based on rules and case into natural-language text. This book will interest researchers in artificial intelligence, particularly those involved in case-based reasoning, artificial intelligence and law, and formal models of argumentation, and to scholars in legal philosophy, jurisprudence, and analogical reasoning.

What if the government made it mandatory for you to have a microchip implanted in your brain, saying it was for your security, for your safety? Would you believe it? Would you take it? What if you learned world powers were setting up sophisticated spy cameras everywhere to watch and record your every move 24/7? Would you believe it? Would you run and hide? Would you become a subversive and fight back? What if you learned soldiers and law-enforcement officers had become super soldiers, genetically modified trans-humans capable of out-running Usain Bolt, out-lifting Olympic weightlifters, re-growing limbs, and even communicating telepathically through microchips installed in their heads? Would you believe it? Would you acquiesce? Would you revolt? In a chillingly real examination of these questions, post-apocalyptic disaster survivors Nathan King and Velvet Jones escape government clutches, returning to war-ravaged Prince Edward Island only to discover a living nightmare. They are plunged into a fierce battle with savage, opportunistic tribes struggling for survival; demented military soldiers, and giant insects created by the new world order.

Dwindling finances, the isolation of country living, a souring romance, and a lurid love affair with the bottle all drive him into a pit of depression and reckless abandon. As he’s dragged deeper into the black void of despair, he realizes his chilling nightmares are not only becoming more vivid, he’s actually dream-teleporting and witnessing brutal murders. At the end of his rope mentally and physically, he learns he might be next on the killer’s list and, panic-stricken, submerges himself even deeper into a steady stream of alcohol. Waging a war with internal and external demons, he discovers there’s more to his precarious precipice than meets the eye: Voodoo spells, calculating killers, and possibly a government cover-up. Pitting human vulnerability against the courage it takes to risk life, limb, and heart, Black Dawn is a pulse-pounding journey that is both terrifying and uplifting.
