Daniel Pike left a life of obscurity as a ghostwriter to accept a position in the hallowed halls of academia, believing a career in education would probably keep the lights on in his house and his two daughters, Aurie and Kiera, clothed and fed.

He soon realized he labored under the delusion that teachers, in exchange for lousy pay and long hours, were then granted extensive vacations--during which time he would be constantly writing. Well, it didn't exactly work out that way, but with enough caffeine, anything, even publication, is possible.

THE WOLF OF DESCARTA is the first of the Dream Box series and introduces readers to a virtual world where anything imaginable is possible--except for the truth. The cyberpunk adventure continues in BETRA

For me, addressing this means the story must take a different direction than I originally planned in order to continue.(less)

中信娱乐官方平台-B费:拉什福德值得更多称赞,对格林伍德总是有新的期待

虎扑7月12日讯 曼联出战南安普顿赛前,B费接受了官网的采访,他谈到了曼联前场拉什福德、格林伍德和马夏尔三名前锋以及谈到了阵容深度。


拉什福德


“就像你在曼联客场3-0战胜维拉比赛中看到的一样,格林伍德又打进了一粒漂亮的进球,马夏尔和拉什福德表现也相当好。有很多人谈论拉什福德没有打进很多进球,但是他的表现非常棒。”


“在拉什福德的比赛中,也许他现在没有取得更多进球,但是就现在我们的球队表现,他将会收获更多的进球和助攻。在比赛中,不仅仅有进球和助攻,更有关于团队,而拉什福德就是那种团队型球员。”


“我希望拉什福德能打进更多进球,因为他为球队所做的一切都是值得的,没有人看到这一点,因为每个人只关心进球、助攻的数据,拉什福德为球队的贡献很大,他值得更多称赞。他此前经历了很长一段时间的伤病,所有有时候找回以前的自信很难,就比如说远射这种。”


马夏尔&格林伍德


“马夏尔踢得也很好,作为前锋,他有

“The Dream Box wasn't a place, but it was a destination. It wasn't life, but it was a way of life. Reese wasn't awake in the Meat Space the way he was in Cyber, where a billion liters of endorphins blasted through the biological wiring of his veins with every corner his mind turned, where every conscious or subconscious choice he made was infused with importance. Linked in, he could partake of the guiltless ecstasy that was up for grabs, even for people like him. Linked in as Balmus, he could even be his own hero.”
Daniel Pike, The Wolf of Descarta

“Brea watched the other Jaren, the Jaren she wasn't sure she wanted to know, slip through the cracks of his face. He was like the changelings in that Dream Box game he was so invested in, Bladescape. Her own interested mask, the one she was supposed to wear, must have slanted a bit around the eyes because then the other Jaren, her Jaren, was back. She watched his dimples puddle in the black of his beard as his mind fumbled for something to say. And this impromptu self-modification, here at the monitoring station at the job where she'd made such a fool of herself, was the closest thing to love that Brea Morgen had ever known.”
Daniel Pike, The Wolf of Descarta
