"Action-packed and funny as hell. Cold War is high-concept bizarro done right!" - Danger Slater, author of Moonfellows and House of Rot. Gordy Beck wants to deal his drug-laced ice cream to children in peace, but standing in his way are rival confection dealers and gangs who want a piece of the action. His brother, Quinton, works for the Sno-Cone Mafia, the chief threat to Gordy's business. When Quinton orders a hit on Gordy, it triggers an all-out war. Gordy enlists the help of his lover (a living ice cream sandwich), and a sentient bag of frosting called the Buttercream Bandit, who uses her Jawbreaker tumors as deadly weapons. In his quest for absolute control of the neighborhood, Gordy must fight off cotton candy slush demons, Sno-Cone henchmen, an overzealous neighborhood watch, and his own brother. Amid icy combat, the brothers must decide which is more important-business or family. But in the end, only one treat lord will reign supreme.

Northern Ireland's answer to Philomena, but with bombs and bullets. . .

As I approached this woman I stopped in front of her and said ?Hi, my name?s John, can I help you at all?? She looked up at me from the floor where she had dropped writhing in agony. She said, ?Yes please help me? ?Can I pray for you?? I asked, and reached out my hand to touch her head. As soon as I touched her head she let out a blood-curdling scream that seemed to shake the whole Church and she began vomiting blood. She ran backwards and out into the reception area outside the Bishop?s office and cowered on the floor like a cat cornered by a vicious dog. She was clearly in pain and even though there was evil in her eyes they also seemed to now being showing fear as well. I had no idea what I was really dealing with and would only discover much later on the magnitude of evil in this small woman. This was the beginning of an epic battle and race against time to free an unwilling victim from the clutches of satan himself.

The birth and evolution of our solar system is a tantalizing mystery that may one day provide answers to the question of human origins. This book tells the remarkable story of how the celestial objects that make up the solar system arose from common beginnings billions of years ago, and how scientists and philosophers have sought to unravel this mystery down through the centuries, piecing together the clues that enabled them to deduce the solar system's layout, its age, and the most likely way it formed. Drawing on the history of astronomy and the latest findings in astrophysics and the planetary sciences, John Chambers and Jacqueline Mitton offer the most up-to-date and authoritative treatment of the subject available. They examine how the evolving universe set the stage for the appearance of our Sun, and how the nebulous cloud of gas and dust that accompanied the young Sun eventually became the planets, comets, moons, and asteroids that exist today. They explore how each of the planets acquired its unique characteristics, why some are rocky and others gaseous, and why one planet in particular--our Earth--provided an almost perfect haven for the emergence of life. From Dust to Life is a must-read for anyone who desires to know more about how the solar system came to be. This enticing book takes readers to the very frontiers of modern research, engaging with the latest controversies and debates. It reveals how ongoing discoveries of far-distant extrasolar planets and planetary systems are transforming our understanding of our own solar system's astonishing history and its possible fate.
