Bethany Moreton: IMG Culture War on Aisle 5? Wal-Mart, Evangelicals, and "Extreme Capitalism"



"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Starfist: Force Recon #03: Recoil Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Swift, silent, and deadly–they strike where no one else dares.

Fear is the fastest-growing crop on Haulover, a newly colonized planet where someone–or something–is destroying isolated farmhouses. The unseen enemy strikes without warning, then disappears, leaving no stone standing, no trace of families or farm animals. When the Confederation receives a desperate plea for help, it’s time to send in the Marines.

Impossible missions are a matter of course for Fourth Force Recon’s second platoon squads, and the situation at Haulover–with no witnesses and few clues–is no exception. But this assignment turns out to be even tougher and bloodier than usual because the devastation is a ploy–to lure the nine Marines into a trap, and to force them to bust the Confederation’s terrible secret wide open.

And as for the Skinks lying in ambush on Haulover, they have no idea what trouble is . . . until they go up against a few good Marines.

Synopsis:

The mission of the space-faring Marines of the 34th FIST, begun in "Starfist: Kingdom's Swords, " continues as Company L prepares to combat their alien enemy's devastating new offensive. Original.

Synopsis:

A lethal new special ops unit has joined Starfist. On the newly colonized planet Haulover, someone--or something--is destroying isolated farmhouses. When the Confederation receives a desperate plea for help, it's time to send in the Marines. Original.
