As a Noble is desperately needed in the capitol city, they are, unfortunately, of severe rarity. A Noble is of ancient bloodline who possessed unbelievable tenacity and senses, unlike any other race on the face of the Earth. Nobles are destined for greatness, though most fall to their demise early, as the vile and treacherous capatalize on their naive minds. Nobles, however, eventually fell into extinction as many were envious of the Nobles accomplishments. There was a slight glimmer of hope, as an ancient deity allowed their bloodline to remain existent, but only to a select few. Never mattered whether they were to use their gift for immoral or moral means or what species, race, age, they originally were, all that mattered was who would cause the most ruckus, which would be quite entertaining for the deity. My name is Aaran Einar, a 19 year old recent graduate of Knights Academy Of Corenthia, and I'm suprisingly a Noble. Copyright 2016 Angel Gaston Jr. All rights reserved

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state. A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier. Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
