Red Queen Series 4 Books Collection Box Set by Victoria Aveyard: So many people tried to order DVDs from us that the servers crashed within 15 minutes of being in business. It took until April 14th, 1998 - our launch date - before I was convinced. I wasn’t sure whether the idea would even work. I didn’t know for a long time whether or not my idea was actually a good one. And there were video stores on every corner - why wait for two or three days for a DVD when you could just pop over to Blockbuster? Like most people in 1997, I hadn’t ever even seen a DVD, much less watched one. To be honest, I kind of agreed with them. “That will never work,” said my wife at dinner. “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard,” one of my coworkers told me. What if you could rent DVDs through the mail? Twenty-five years ago, a year before I turned forty, I had a crazy idea.

Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the product of the authors imagination or used in a fictious manner. Desperate to shield her people and their simple way of life, she would accept help from the devil himself-and Hugh d’Ambray might qualify. Tasked with their protection, she's trapped between the magical heavyweights about to collide and plunge the state of Kentucky into a war that humans have no power to stop. Her enemies call her Abomination her people call her White Lady. Fast.Įlara Harper is a creature who should not exist. Hugh knows he must carve a new place for himself and his people, but they have no money, no shelter, and no food, and the necromancers are coming. Hugh is a shadow of the warrior he was, but when he learns that the Iron Dogs, soldiers who would follow him anywhere, are being hunted down and murdered, he must make a choice: to fade away or to be the leader he was born to be. Now his immortal, nearly omnipotent master has cast him aside. Hugh d’Ambray, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, Warlord of the Builder of Towers, served only one man. No day is ordinary in a world where Technology and Magic compete for supremacy…But no matter which force is winning, in the apocalypse, a sword will always work. It is only the difficulty in the means of carrying out this genocide that stops the jihadist or revolutionary fanatic or misanthrope (or what have you) from acting out in full. Genocide litters the pages of human history primarily because a sizable number of human beings have a pathological desire to rid the world of the “other” (be that distinction of national, religious, or racial in nature). Wouldn’t the real threat be that, even before machines approach a “super intelligent state”, that human beings themselves would hijack the increased power of machines to annihilate, subjugate, and exploit their fellow man?Įven a cursory glance at human history would lead one to conclude that annihilating, subjugating, and exploiting one another has been almost the brutish single-minded pursuit of humanity for as long as man has existed. I guess I’m far more threatened by my fellow human beings than I will ever be by machines.

The plot moves quickly enough, and there are some wonderful flashes of humor, but as a whole the book is marred by Roger's totally unrealistic transformation and by the hokey and unrealistic "release of power" between Harry and the computer. Harry's whiny, self-pitying narrative soon becomes annoying. While Harry bemoans Roger's awful personality, readers see very little interaction between the two boys Roger remains undeveloped, and he appears so briefly and infrequently that his reputation as a disgusting, predelinquent creep is unfounded. Through a thoroughly unbelievable "mind meld" with the computer, Harry brings back a more likable Roger. Yet he is totally unprepared to cope when the computer zaps Harry's obnoxious older brother, Roger. Harry is intrigued by his birthday present, a computer that somehow talks to him, exhibits human emotions and stages unpredictable disappearances. Grade 4-7 A good idea gone terribly astray.
