  Since his friend and partner in crime, A. J. Raffles, jumped into the Mediterranean, Bunny Manders has scraped along as best he can. At Raffles's side, he was witness to, and participant in, the most ingenious burglaries the underworld had ever seen. Without him, Bunny is a struggling ex-convict, so down on his luck that he answers an ad seeking a male nurse and companion for a notoriously rude invalid. But when he lights the old man's Sullivan cigarette and sees a perfect smoke ring float into the air, Bunny cries out in delight. Raffles is back, and ready for adventure.     In the second installment in E. W. Hornung's crackerjack crime series, England's greatest jewel thief is up to all of his old tricks and many ingenious new ones—none so spectacular as turning Queen Victoria herself into an accomplice.

  A brand-new designer drug arrives in New York City with the force of a hurricane: Triple X, a potentially lethal combination of ecstasy and gamma radiation that is literally turning users from the shadowy, dank alleys to the glittering, raucous party circuit into living, rampaging nightmares. For high school science teacher Peter Parker, Triple X's onslaught on some of his students and his wife's professional life is as dangerous as it is unexpected. For Peter's secret alter-ego, the costumed crime-fighter known to the world as Spider-Man, the situation quickly accelerates from bad to worse, as the drug's effects run unchecked against law enforcement's and his own valiant efforts to rein in the city-wide chaos. But there is a growing consensus between Spider-Man and the police that, for reasons yet unknown, one of the arachnid's most fearsome enemies may be behind it all as part of a greater scheme to bring the city—and one of its most heroic and hated defenders—to its knees at long last.

  These are the continuing adventures of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, time traveling superheroes on an epic journey to turn the tide of history, bromancing spacetime together in search of a brighter future for America.Desperate times call for desperate measures.Moments after the inauguration of our 45th president, best friends Barack Obama and Joe Biden were escorted to a secret lab run by the world’s greatest scientists. They were asked to take off all their clothes and hold very still in a fetal position until they felt a painful tingling sensation. Then they vanished. They would awake to find themselves apart, and inside their younger bodies and driven to find each other, and to change history for the better. Their only guide on this journey is Neil deGrasse Tyson, a scientist from the present who appears in the form of an augmented reality that only they can see and hear. And thus they find themselves leaping throughout their own lifetime, looking for the best in people...striving to right injustice wherever they find it, forever hoping that their next jump in time will take them to a future that’s not scary and broken on a quest for a world which they can proudly call…home.The brainchild of director Adam Reid, born out of his deep frustration after the 2016 election and launched via Kickstarter, The Adventures of Barry & Joe is a nostalgia hued science fiction tale celebrating the greatest bromance in modern history, that of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.A visual feast that’s part comic book and all heart, this book is a love letter to brilliantly cheesy sci-fi and the two men who can still be counted on to inspire us. It’s unhinged political fan fiction filled with hope and a dose of healing and perspective for all of us watching in horror as Trump leads our country down it’s darkest timeline.
