New Releases by Victor Santos

Guy Montag ist Feuerwehrmann, aber in Fahrenheit 451 besteht seine Aufgabe nicht darin, Brände zu löschen, sondern Bücher zu verbrennen, ein Gegenstand, der verboten ist, weil er Zwietracht und Leid verursacht. Der mechanische Jagdhund der Feuerwehr, bewaffnet mit einer tödlichen Injektion, begleitet von Hubschraubern, ist bereit, Dissidenten aufzuspüren, die noch Bücher aufbewahren und lesen. Víctor Santos, Autor von Polar, einem Werk, das auf Netflix verfilmt wurde, fängt in seiner Zeichnung die von den Medien versklavte Zivilisation und den Konformismus von Ray Bradburys dystopischem Klassiker ein.

Can you guess what I am? I have been around a very, very long time. You hardly knew me as a baby, but now you cannot get me out of your head.

This unique book celebrates all the amazing ways communication shapes our lives, including through text messages on phones, Braille buttons in elevators, and endangered languages at risk of disappearing.

From the creator of the bestselling comic series, Polar, now a NETFLIX MOVIE starring Mads Mikkelsen, comes a new creator owned series. A tale of crime and capes in the style of THE BOYS, WATCHMEN, and SIN CITY. The 90s were the most extreme age of the superheroes... but times have since changed. Gabin Hart, AKA Damager, now works as a bouncer in a strip club managed by the Russian mob, hangs out sporadically with his ex Avengelady, and wrestles with the long-term effects of his cyber-implants. But Fate always keeps one last cheap shot up its sleeve for a hero.

How do parents deal with such a challenge? How does a young boy at the threshold of puberty contend with a personal crisis that may cost him his life? How can family life retain stability through all this upheaval? These were questions that we all had to answer through our son''s personal journey for survival.My wife and I sit motionlessly across the table from the doctor who has just delivered the terrible news that our 13 year old son is suffering from a tumour so large that it will be a miracle if he makes it through the next 5 years. Facing the insurmountable odds of saving him from the claws of an adrenal gland cancer known as "the beast" we had no clue as to how we were going to beat the cancer raging inside his young body. There are virtually no ''manuals'' or easy steps to follow to undo the terrible consequences of any cancer - but maybe, just maybe some parents are blind to the facts and too numb just to lay down and give up. Our initial helpless state when the diagnosis was confirmed did not last long as somehow we found the will and the way to unleash a potential that we all have deep inside of us. We became resourceful and practical without once resorting to the first option available. My wife never left a stone unturned when it came to medical opinion, her continued pressure on the medical system teased-out the charlatans and those gifted with a ''god-complex''. I on the other extreme read as much as humanly possible on the topic and systematically sorted fact from fiction while procuring new medical technologies from around the globe. Together we teamed up as our son''s formidable warriors with an army of earthly angels supporting our every effort to help a brave boy (now a man) to face the unimaginable odds.How to beat cancer chronicles the heart-wrenching story of a young cancer survivor and his determined family. The book although a personal account still presents real people and real medical procedures. As much as possible the book will also endeavor to provide other cancer sufferers in particular those with adrenal tumours and bone cancer more insight to viable means of treatment. Our account of events will also bring to light the wonderful medical practitioners not only near you but spread-out in the many centers of excellence around the world. We were extremely fortunate to have found them. You are warned that our story will make you cry, laugh and celebrate precious young life - so keep a box of tissues handy just in case.
