PIPER'S, Inc. 3 - DEAD TO RIGHTS
Seven years ago, a secret society of exceptionally-trained assassins swept over the nation's criminal landscape like a tsunami on a tiny village. Trained in exotic forms of hand to hand combat, military weaponry, and bleeding edge cyber technology - they hunted down and purged the most corrupt politicians, CEOs, lawyers, judges, priests, televangelists, social icons, police chiefs, and oligarchs with horrific and savage efficiency. No mercy was shown to those who destroyed the everyday citizen; no quarter was given to those who oppressed the innocent. Performing this purge was PIPER'S, Inc., and spearheading the elite corps of PIPER'S, Inc. combatants was Draven Moon, callsign Temujin, a former special forces commander. A one-man army, he led the resistance; he led the assassinations; he led the raids. He was the facilitator of the new emancipation of America. But that was seven years ago. . . Today, Moon is serving multiple life sentences in Attica's super-max prison; the organization's original directors are either dead or retired; and the once invincible combatants of PIPER'S, Inc. are leaderless, unemployed, and scattered. President Ericka Hedlin, a staunch supporter of PIPER'S, Inc., watches helplessly as the nation diverges again towards government and corporate corruption, racism, and police brutality. Without Moon, PIPER'S, Inc. is dormant; without PIPER'S, Inc., America is doomed. But Moon has a plan – an inconceivable and implausible plan. From within his cell, he promises to hunt down every conspiring facilitator and influencer in every government building, every courthouse, every police precinct, every law firm, every corporation, every political district, every racist rally, and in every oligarch's mansion – EVERYONE who has damaged and threatened America in his absence – will be burned alive in the flames of a New Revolution!
Genius on Television
Whether it's Sherlock Holmes solving crimes or Sheldon and Leonard geeking out over sci-fi, geniuses are central figures on many of television's most popular series. They are often enigmatic, displaying superhuman intellect while struggling with mundane aspects of daily life. This collection of new essays explores why TV geniuses fascinate us and how they shape our perceptions of what it means to be highly intelligent. Examining series like Criminal Minds, The Big Bang Theory, Bones, Elementary, Fringe, House, The Mentalist, Monk, Sherlock, Leverage and others, scholars from a variety of disciplines discuss how television both reflects and informs our cultural understanding of genius.
Dexter and Philosophy
What explains the huge popular following for Dexter, currently the most-watched show on cable, which sympathetically depicts a serial killer driven by a cruel compulsion to brutally slay one victim after another? Although Dexter Morgan kills only killers, he is not a vigilante animated by a sense of justice but a charming psychopath animated by a lust to kill, ritualistically and bloodily. However his gory appetite is controlled by “Harry’s Code,” which limits his victims to those who have gotten away with murder, and his job as a blood spatter expert for the Miami police department gives him the inside track on just who those legitimate targets may be. In Dexter and Philosophy, an elite team of philosophers don their rubber gloves and put Dexter’s deeds under the microscope. Since Dexter is driven to ritual murder by his “Dark Passenger,” can he be blamed for killing, especially as he only murders other murderers? Does Dexter fit the profile of the familiar fictional type of the superhero? What part does luck play in making Dexter who he is? How and why are horror and disgust turned into aesthetic pleasure for the TV viewer? How essential is Dexter’s emotional coldness to his lust for slicing people up? Are Dexter’s lies and deceptions any worse than the lies and deceptions of the non-criminals around him? Why does Dexter long to be a normal human being and why can’t he accomplish this apparently simple goal?
