Twenty years ago, Jason was pulled into a world of magic and monsters.He was promised a life of wandering his new home and having adventures, but things got out of hand pretty quickly. He met with kings and gods, fought interdimensional cults, and got in a knife fight with the guy who creates universes. He didn't win. What he'd never done was roam around, having nice, sensible adventures. He hadn't even seen the hometown of his friends, and that had been the first destination on his list.Two decades on, he'd saved whole civilizations and the Earth, several times. He was freshly returned from a conflict with the fate of the cosmos at stake, where the battlefield was his soul and the combatants were the governing forces of reality. It was a fight he had no chance of winning, which was why he rigged it and pinched the prize while everyone was distracted.Now, Jason is determined to reunite with his friends and have the simple adventuring life he always wanted. He won't let anyone get in his way, not angelic armies, scheming guilds, or the people who want to talk about that time he altered the fundamental laws of magic. Which isn't as bad as it sounds, he promises.Jason's taking a gap year, whatever he has to do to make it happen. Manipulate a prestigious noble house into liberating a slave town. Attempt to extort every government on the planet. Blow up and subsequently rebuild the occasional city. Gods help anyone who tries to stop him, but the gods probably won't because they've met Jason and they know how that usually goes.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Adams, AuthorAn awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (preschool/elementary age) room cleaning storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & and never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out-of-line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s educational presentation (room responsibility), movie, animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.Tony Parsons MSW (Washburn) Read more

King Kong is a cultural phenomenon that has endured for 85 years, from his first appearance menacing a terrified Fay Wray in 1933’s King Kong right through to his rematch (they first fought in 1962) with Japan’s finest movie monster in Godzilla vs. Kong, scheduled to reach cinemas in 2020. Kong has appeared in seven official films, including the new Kong: Skull Island, but he has also had a major impact on popular culture.Kong is an outsider, and open to reinvention and re-appropriation by filmmakers across the decades who see him as a figure in which can be invested notions of race, identity, gender, class, sexuality, and ideas of adventure amid the exotic, something increasingly lacking in the modern world. The mythic nature of the character imbued in the original King Kong by his creators is what has allowed him to live on and adapt, not only to changing times but also to changing ways of representing the character himself onscreen.This volume focuses on the seven official King Kong films, with a special extended section on the 1933 original. There are many retellings of the creation of the film King Kong, so the aim in the present volume is to look at how Kong himself was created for the screen and how changing movie technology has contributed to the evolution of this mythic character and allowed his survival into the 21st century.
