When Kingdom Come
Juan Reyes thought he was normal, though he dreamed of being something more. He sought out the spotlight, on stage and screen, and thought he had found where he truly belonged. Until one day, dragged along on a misguided adventure in the woods by a group of friends and acquaintances with too much time on their hands, a strange and violent encounter turns his life upside down. Juan learns that he once had another name, another race, and a whole other reality that he can hardly accept―a reality in which alien civilizations exist, and men can shake off the bonds of gravity and fly free. But there is a cost, and it is paid in blood. Offered the chance to rejoin his people, accepting their strange and sometimes brutal ways at the expense of his conscience and the woman he loves, Juan has to make a choice. Does he side with them against the only people he has ever known―people who are determined to eliminate the alien threat―or side with humanity, and turn his back on who he really is? It's an impossible choice, and he's running out of time.

Modern Art
The fifth and final volume in the Essays by Leo Steinberg series, focusing on modern artists. Leo Steinberg was one of the most original art historians of the twentieth century, known for taking interpretive risks that challenged the profession by overturning reigning orthodoxies. In essays and lectures ranging from old masters to modern art, he combined scholarly erudition with eloquent prose that illuminated his subject and a credo that privileged the visual evidence of the image over the literature written about it. His writings, sometimes provocative and controversial, remain vital and influential reading. Steinberg’s perceptions evolved from long, hard looking at his objects of study....

Padua and Venice
Venice and Padua are neighboring cities with a topographical and geopolitical distinction. Venice is a port city in the Venetian Lagoon, which opened up towards Byzantium and the East. Padua on the mainland was founded in Roman times and is a university city, a place of Humanism and research into antiquity. The contributions analyze works of art as aesthetic formulations of their places of origin, which however also have an effect on and expand their surroundings. International experts investigate how these two different concepts stimulated each other in the Early Modern Age, and how the exchange worked.
