(Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers ...)
Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, The Apocalypse Triptych is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. THE END IS NIGH focuses on life before the apocalypse. THE END IS NOW turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And THE END HAS COME explores life after the apocalypse. THE END IS NIGH is about the match. THE END HAS COME is about what will rise from the ashes. THE END IS NOW is about the conflagration. • • • • THE END IS NOW table of contents: INTRODUCTION by John Joseph Adams | HERD IMMUNITY by Tananarive Due | THE SIXTH DAY OF DEER CAMP by Scott Sigler | GOODNIGHT STARS by Annie Bellet | ROCK MANNING CAN’T HEAR YOU by Charlie Jane Anders | FRUITING BODIES by Seanan McGuire | BLACK MONDAY by Sarah Langan | ANGELS OF THE APOCALYPSE by Nancy Kress | AGENT ISOLATED by David Wellington | THE GODS WILL NOT BE SLAIN by Ken Liu | YOU’VE NEVER SEEN EVERYTHING by Elizabeth Bear | BRING THEM DOWN by Ben H.

Officer Michael Prim doesn't know much about his father, but remembers bedtime stories of mercenary wars, dragon slaying, and demon fighting. With his father gone, he serves as a hard charging beat cop in the Blue Point Police Department, never growing comfortable with the Dragon Badge they wear. He knows how to hunt down cop killing gang members, bring street justice down on wife beaters and child molesters, and put some muscle in police action. Yet something wicked is invading Blue Point, capturing souls and using the bodies as functional zombies to spread chaos and destruction. Soul stealing and zombie gang warfare has got to be a crime.

(Former Enron Executive Lynn Brewer contacted government o...)
Former Enron Executive Lynn Brewer contacted government officials to relate her first-hand knowledge of her previous employer's corrupt business practices. She even offered to hand over powerful evidence and incriminating documents. But the officials declined. Brewer had a great deal of information, since she witnessed egregious acts of bank fraud, espionage, cover-ups, and the mind-boggling corporate shell games that have cost the public billions. Determined to get the truth out to the public, Brewer decided to write a book. "House of Cards: Confessions of an Enron Executive", is Lynn Brewer's gripping account of nearly three years spent with the company that has come to symbolize the worst in corporate greed. Lynn's riveting tale takes you deep into the heart of Enron for a shocking look at both the notorious illicit deals and the unscrupulous people who made them. Having spent time with Enron's water company, trading division, power trading desk, and their broadband unit, coupled with Lynn's background in accounting and law, a scandalous portrait emerges of a company run amok in the name of naked avarice. Fascinating, revelatory, and oftentimes hilarious, "House of Cards: Confessions of an Enron Executive" is the only book you'll need to understand the true reasons why Enron collapsed. In her book, Brewer details such shockers as how she uncovered massive bank fraud and then was told to conceal it; her public confrontation with CEO Jeff Skilling over a conspiracy to sell substandard gas; the nature of partnerships formed by CFO Andy Fastow, designed to confuse any attempts at deciphering them; her discovery of espionage, theft, and subsequent coverup by the husband of Enron powerhouse Rebecca Mark; the extraordinary antics of Enron's electricity traders and their scheme to "print money" how Enron's infamous "rank and yank" review process brutalized employees and set them at each other's throats; and how many women at Enron saw sleeping to the top as their only chance at promotion.

director film editor writer sound designer
Murch, Walter Scott was born on July 12, 1943 in New York City. Son of Walter Tandy and Katherine (Scott) Murch. He was the son of a good painter, Walter Murch, who had his family roots in the west country of England.
As a boy, Walter fell in love with the tape recorder and the games it could play. He was also enormously affected by a father who painted at night because he had to keep a paying job in the day. Walter went to Johns Hopkins, where he started on oceanography and geology and let the tide of interest carry him over to Romance languages and art history. He then studied in Paris and Perugia before driving across the United States on a Matchless motorcycle with his new wife, Aggie, to study film at USC.
In time, his skills at filmmaking would extend to sound and editing, and in both areas he is now without a peer. But film is not his whole world: he has a lifelong hobby pursuing the proof of the Titius-Bode theory (on the spatial intervals between planets) and he translates Italian poetry. He has also directed one film—Return to Oz (85).
He did sound on The Ruin People; Gimme Shelter (70, David and Albert Maysles); TUX 1138 (71, Lucas)—he also collaborated on its script; American Graffiti (73, Lucas). He did the sound and was vital to the editing of The Conversation (74, Coppola), a picture that brought sound into the forefront of our consciousness. He was in charge of sound on The Godfather Part II (74, Coppola). He edited Julia (77, Fred Zinnemann). He did the sound on Apocalypse Now (79, Coppola), for which he won an Oscar. He edited The Unbearable Lightness of Being (88, Philip Kaufman); Ghost (90, Jerry Zueker); The Godfather Part III (90, Coppola); Romeo Is Bleeding (93, Peter Medak). He edited House of Cards (93, Michael Lessae) and First Knight (95, Zueker).
On The English Patient (96, Anthony Minghella), one of the most densely textured of films, he did the editing and sound and won Oscars for both. He was responsible for the reconstruction of Orson Welles’s Touch of Evil. He did editing and sound on The Talented Mr. Ripley (99, Minghella). And he did the detailed work on Apocalypse Now Redux (01, Coppola).

Francis Ford Coppola had taken to the road to make The Rain People. It was a unit on which many people were barely out of the two film schools in Los Angeles: Francis had been at UCLA, and George Lucas and Walter Murch had been to USC. As the shooting concluded, out of love with Hollywood and Los Angeles, Coppola, Lucas, and Murch elected to move their families up to northern California and the Bay Area, there to make a new version of American cinema.
Lucas is now one of the richest men in the country, with his facilities in Marin; Coppola has been one of the most celebrated directors in the world—rich, poor, and rich again, living in his house and winery in Rutherford. And in a smaller house than his comrades, Walter Murch still lives in Bolinas, California, not rich, except in the range of his interests and the record of his achievements. Walter Murch is the scholar, gentleman, and superb craftsman of modern film. And like any master of sound, he is a quiet man.
Married Muriel Ann Slater, August 6, 1965. Children: Walter, Beatrice, Carrie, Connie.
