Books with title Evolution Revolution

From the creators of Homeland and the Final Destination films, Revolution 19 is a cinematic thriller unlike anything else.At first they called it system-wide malfunctions when the robots stopped fighting at exactly 2:15 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time, August 17, 2051. For twenty-two hours the battlefields were silent. Then when the bots began killing again, now targeting their human commanders, they shook their heads and called it fatal programming errors. When, a day later, the skies over cities on six continents grew dark with warships, they began to understand. And when the bombs rained down and legions of bot foot soldiers marched into the burning ruins, killing any humans who resisted and dragging away the rest, they finally called it what it was: revolution.Only a few escaped the robot war. Those who did lived in secret freeposts, hiding from the robot armies determined to control the human race. Nick, Kevin, and Cass are some of the lucky ones—they live with their parents in a secret human community outside the robot-controlled Cities. But when the bots discover their village and attack, the teens are forced to run. Determined to find out if their parents are alive, the three siblings venture into the heart of the robot City, where one misstep could be their last.

Evolution is the process of gradual change that occurs naturally through a combination of inherited changes and adaptation to environmental opportunities. Explored by Charles Darwin in his seminal work On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection, this process takes place in generation after generation of a species. The theory of evolution—that all forms of life on Earth can be traced back to single-celled organisms that arose in the oceans 3.5 billion years ago—is the only scientifically accepted explanation for how this happened. Evolution explains the scientific theory of evolution and its role in the development and continuation of all life.

As I floated, chattering in cold, the freezing waters spraying my face and mouth, the salt burning my throat; as the night tide whipped me back and forth, and I could see nothing but inky blackness for miles and miles all around me, and no sense of direction as to where the closest shore was, I wondered.To fight the bad guys, I’d had to become like them, with that precarious line so blurred that I could no longer tell the difference between the good and the bad guys, anymore, or even which one I now was. I’d caused a revolution. The perfect justice to fit their crimes.But what would my justice be? At the mercy and mercy alone of high-tide to do with me as it pleased, I tiredly closed my eyes. “I’m coming, Nana. I’m coming,” I said weakly.Catina Salsbury returns for the fifth book in the action-packed dystopian series, The Modules.

Poetry cannot be announced. It is the announcing event itself. What a reader of poetry can say about a poet is merely a humble tribute, a few words that should remain anonymous, and these are mine: Hala Dika's poetry is a journey that takes us into the everyday as a journey into the world. A world revealing itself in the everyday and the everyday becoming revelation. Like a true explorer, in her journey, the poet does not try to avoid the forbidden and dark zones of this world. Her poetry crosses the heart of darkness with redeeming irony and laughter. Unlike Ulysses, the poet does not come out of her journey seeking revenge at home and declaring a final heroic victory. There is no world to conquer here, no identity to kill for, no boundaries to defend. Only a world as a redeeming journey.

The battle is won, but the war is far from over. Dalziel has led his people to a bloody and costly victory by discovering the hidden power of the Seraphs—ancient, winged warriors who wield great and devastating magic. Hundreds now flock to join in the cause against the evil Andal Empire as the flames of rebellion engulf the land. Dal and his companions find themselves once again fighting for Ibernia's survival against ever-increasing odds. Amid the chaos, he and Deidre must constrain their growing affection for each other as the bloodshed threatens to consume them both. There is hope, though, when Dal’s band awakens an ancient power that could tip the scales of the conflict in the Ibernians’ favor. The enemy, however, has plans of their own. The Emperor has dispatched his best commander—a man known as the Engineer—to deal with this insurrection once and for all. A mysterious figure, the Andal general arrives in Ibernia with one clear directive; seek out and destroy the young Seraph. With the conflict escalating, Dal and the Engineer soon find their paths colliding in an inevitable showdown as the fate of two nations and the future of the world hang in the balance. Evolution is an epic YA/Fantasy novel and the second book in the War of the Seraphs series.
