Daniel always knew he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become an astronaut in the Earth Space Alliance. The trouble was, Daniel was not very patient.

Daniel wanted to go to space now. So when he finds out that his youngest brother has already been to space, his patience wears out.Matt Phillips brings his unique background as a retired naval officer and former ship captain to science-fiction storytelling with a realistic and exciting flair.

In the hierarchy of British jazz musicians, the super-virtuoso guitarist, composer, and bandleader John McLaughlin holds an unassailable position at the very top.Across dozens of official studio and live albums that encompass solo acts, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Shakti, and co-headlining group projects, GRAMMY-Award winner John McLaughlin has consistently enthralled and surprised with boundary-pushing, genre-defying music. He was Miles Davis¿s guitarist of choice on epochal albums In A Silent Way, Jack Johnson, Bitches Brew, and Live Evil. Drawing on hundreds of sources and interviews with key collaborators, Matt Phillips takes us on an exciting journey through McLaughlin¿s entire career: his early years; his flirtations with the European avant-garde; groundbreaking work with Miles Davis and Tony Williams; the electrifying fusion groups The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Shakti; special projects with the likes of Chick Corea, Sting, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Carlos Santana, and Jeff Beck; hugely popular acoustic collaborations with Paco De Lucia, Larry Coryell, and Al Di Meola; and his 4th Dimension band. His highly virtuoso style brought about a revolution in guitar playing, carving out one of the most critic-proof and prolific careers in modern times. This is the first major book about McLaughlin to illuminate his entire output from 1980¿2020. Including never-before-seen photographs, it¿s a thrilling ride through the life of a master musician.

The chapters of this volume explore the concept in French literature, film, art and philosophy, demonstrating the new and continued relevance of the figure of the parasite.

Three linked crime novellas that follow working class antiheroes as they indulge in theft, murder, and lawless shenanigans. Ain't no cops running things out this way. In "Mesa Boys," Ronnie plots a haphazard heist with a twisted con man. In "The Feud," tough-as-nails Rex lets his resentment for a local pot dealer cloud his judgement. And, in "Bar Burning," a mysterious drifter goes toe-to-toe with his new lady's psychotic ex-husband. Accidental Outlaws is a hellfire ride through working class America's angsty underbelly. Praise for ACCIDENTAL OUTLAWS: "The hardest hitting rural noir I've read in ages, like a mule-kick in the teeth." -CS DeWildt, author of Love You to a Pulp and Kill 'Em with Kindness "Just sh*t loads of good fun...trailer trash noir at its very best." -Grant Nicol, author of On a Small Island, The Mistake, A Place To Bury Strangers and Out On The Ice "Matt Phillips speaks fluently the language of the dispossessed... His whiskey-soaked prose can at times be as slick as a man slinging snake-oil, and other times as brutal as a baseball bat to the head." -Eryk Pruitt, author of Hashtag and Dirtbags "Phillips' writing is so multi-layered and deep...An author to watch out for." -Regular Guy Reading Noir

For ex-con and pool cleaning man Jess Forsyth, life is a California rhythm of surf, work, tacos, and drink. He's gone straight, and he's happy with that...sort of. When he runs into an old pal, Jess finds himself taking money (and pride) from a well-heeled drug dealer. But things get twisted. On the journey that follows, Jess discovers you can't escape what you are, especially when there's cash for the taking. There are three kinds of fool in this life-the lost, the guilty, and the dead. But who the heck is who? Praise for THREE KINDS OF FOOL: "Reminiscent of Irvine Welsh's Crime but with that Southern Californian feel that only sex, guns, drugs, murder and surfboards can bring to the party..." -Grant Nicol, author of A Place To Bury Strangers "Three Kinds of Fool starts off with a bang and never lets up." -Craig Faustus Buck, author of Go Down Hard "Jess has gotten himself neck deep in some serious sh*t...I quite enjoyed Three Kinds of Fool." -David Nemeth at UnlawfulActs.net "[Phillips] paints sharp, cutting scenes...He peppers the action with tight quips, imagining a very true world through a very discerning set of eyes." -Tim Learn, author of the Chewy Noh series
