However, before the last ship was destroyed in 1996, the aliens sent a distress signal. Now, that signal has been answered and humanity is under a threat greater than any it has faced before. The Art & Making of Independence Day Resurgence takes readers from the aftermath of the ’96 invasion, through the rebuilding of the planet, and the new, terrifying threat about to hit Earth. From sketch to screen, the book delves into the design and creation of the colossal spaceships, aliens, vehicles and fighter planes, weaponry, and the new characters defending the world. This official companion is packed with incredible concept art, costume design, behind-the-scenes photography, and exclusive interviews with cast and crew including Jeff Goldblum and director Roland Emmerich.

  • QUICK READ Series: How to Give Your Small Business Every Large Opportunity Possible

    Solomon Howard

    eBook
    The world is full of so much B.S. and the main culprit is the “collective voice of our conscience” (better known as “society”). Society is that voice which rewards us (for being obedient) and punishes us for daring to ever “think for ourselves.” Well, in this refreshing, thought-provoking, no-nonsense book, you’ll finally get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (when it comes to making financial decisions). Let’s be clear. This book does not sugarcoat anything. This book tells it exactly “like it is” and will challenge your pre-existing beliefs about money, finances, and how to manage it all. Make no mistake, this isn’t the cookie-cutter B.S. that you’re used to (from blog articles, TV shows, “expert” analysis, etc.). You know the ones. They all provide the same basic advice, cover the same basic topics, and give you nothing actionable (to really make a difference in your life). Well, this book aims to change that. But honestly, it’s only the first step in that life-changing process. I also encourage you to watch the series of videos mentioned (throughout this book) if you’re truly serious about changing things for the better. Those videos are guaranteed to finally “open your eyes” about money (and the multiple options you have to manage it), perhaps for the first time. “The rich” know this information (all too well). So, why don’t you? Let’s fix that and start you on the path to earning more money. Perhaps more money than you've ever had before. In this book you will learn:* What Should Every Business Owner Know Before Getting Started?* Why Should You Avoid Starting a Business (Before Reading This)?* What’s the Secret to Starting A Business as A Recent Graduate?* What Keeps Female Business Owners from Maximizing their Full Potential?* How Can Running A Business Be Dangerous to Your Family?* How Can Buying A House Hurt Your Chances for A Successful Business?* How Can Starting A Business Improve Your Marriage?* Should You Start A Business While Getting Divorced? And so much more!So, sit back, relax, and get ready for a healthy dose of un-conventional wisdom. Enjoy!
  • The Storyteller

    Simon Howes

    eBook
    It is a time of change in the royal household, and King Balthazar is growing old and grumpy without a male heir to take over his throne. His only daughter is bored of princes and their endless tales of dragons and war, and refuses to marry unless her father can find her a 'real man' - whatever that means. Balthazar, perpetually confused, seeks advice from the royal astrologer, who tells him to end his troubles by holding a storytelling competition to find a suitor for his daughter and a worthy future king. The interest generated by the event spreads far and wide and attracts entrants from every corner and social class, and the tales of magic, mystery and madness which follow are enough to captivate every citizen. But still some questions remain. Will the king allow his prejudices to be put aside to ensure a fair contest? Will it be the teller of the best tale who wins, or merely the wealthiest and most powerful entrant? And will Xanthe, the royal advisor, ever get a break?The answers to all these questions, and more, lie waiting to be discovered amongst the pages of 'The Storyteller'!Simon Howes is the founder of the online literary community www.novelreads.co.uk, the author of 'The Storyteller', a past winner of the H.E. Bates 'Best Northamptonshire Writer' prize, and a poet, artist and avid reader. He is also a qualified psychotherapist who runs a private practice in Northampton, and in his work life helps authors, artists, and other creative types overcome blocks to their projects. Further information about his therapeutic work can be found on his website www.northamptoncounselling.co.uk. He is currently working on his second novel.
