LOS ANGELES, 2039 Vor 20 Jahren half Aahna "Ash" Ashina, ein ehemaliges Mitglied der Blade Runner-Einheit, einem jungen Mädchen und ihrer Replikanten-Ersatzmutter, aus den Fängen ihres sadistischen Vaters, des Wirtschaftsmagnaten Alexander Selwyn, zu entkommen. Jetzt ist Cleo Selwyn von der außerweltlichen Kolonie Arcadia nach Los Angeles zurückgekehrt, um ihre "Mutter" Isobel zu suchen, von der sie glaubt, dass sie das Opfer einer von Niander Wallace inszenierten Entführung ist. Seit drei Jahren stellt Niander Wallace seine neue Linie "perfekt gehorsamer" Replikanten her, und nun, im Jahr 2039, ist seine persönliche Assistentin Luv die erste Replikantin, die der Blade Runner-Abteilung des LAPD zugeteilt wurde. Auf der Jagd nach Antworten macht sich Cleo auf die Suche nach Ash, die seit zehn Jahren untergetaucht ist, ohne zu wissen, dass Luv den Auftrag hat, sie aufzuspüren und jeden, der ihr zu Hilfe kommt, zu beseitigen ...

Los Angeles, 2039. Vent’anni fa l’ex Blade Runner Aahna “Ash” Ashina ha aiutato una ragazza, insieme alla madre replicante, a scappare dalle grinfie di suo padre, il sadico imprenditore Alexander Selwin. Ora Cleo Selwyn è tornata a Los Angeles alla ricerca di sua "madre” Isobel, sospettando un rapimento orchestrato da Niander Wallace. Da tre anni a questa parte, Wallace produce una nuova linea di replicanti perfettamente obbedienti. Una di loro, la sua assistente Luv, è la prima replicante assegnata alla divisione Blade Runner del LAPD. In cerca di risposte, Cleo si mette alla ricerca di Ash, che negli ultimi dieci anni ha vissuto in clandestinità, ignara del fatto che a Luv è stata assegnata la missione di trovarla e ritirare chiunque le venga in aiuto.

A thrilling adventure based on the hit television series Star Trek: Picard. Star Trek: No Man’s Land picks up right after the action-packed season one conclusion of Star Trek: Picard. While Raffi and Seven of Nine are enjoying some much-needed R&R in Raffi’s remote hideaway, their downtime is interrupted by an urgent cry for help: a distant, beleaguered planet has enlisted the Fenris Rangers to save an embattled evacuation effort. As Raffi and Seven team up to rescue a mysteriously ageless professor whose infinity-shaped talisman has placed him in the deadly sights of a vicious Romulan warlord, they take tentative steps to explore the attraction depicted in the final moments of Picard season one. Based on the hit audio original, fans can now read this riveting script with fan-favorite characters.

God created all things, He sustains all things, but He lacks one thing - He’s seeking “True Worshippers” who will worship Him in Spirit and Truth. This is an urgent search because John 4:23 says “the hour has come, and now is the time” for these true worshippers to come forward and make themselves known. This battle with sin all started over worship and we are urged to make the right choice in terms of who we worship. There’s a loud and urgent message emphasised in Revelation 14:6 letting us know that the “hour has come” for us to worship the Creator. The book, “From Spectator to True Worshipper” addresses one of the key issues in our relationship with Christ and explores Biblical concepts and principles around worship that can be incorporated into personal and congregational worship settings. God has given us a glimpse of eternity through the act of worship, and there is an acceptable form that is pleasing to Him.

After 20 years living Off-world. Cleo Selwyn has returned to Los Angeles in search for her surrogate Replicant mother Isobel, whom Cleo believes has been abducted on the orders of Niander Wallace. Believing that Cleo’s DNA holds the secret of Replicant fertility, Wallace has ordered his own personal Replicant assistant, Luv, the first Replicant Blade Runner, to hunt her down with approval to kill any who stand in her way. Now reunited with her one-time protector and former Blade Runner Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina, Cleo and Ash set off on a desperate race to find her mother and escape back Off-world before Luv can find them. “As a Blade Runner series this looks to be one of the best yet. If this is the final chapter, we are in for an explosive end. My anticipation levels are at an all-time high.” – Get Your Comic On Collects Blade Runner 2039 #5-9

In Tale of The Crawdad, Johnson shares his story, discovering his own truth about survival and freedom.
