![]() ![]() The premise is very simple, and if it sounds like an ‘80s creature feature (or a “nature gone bad” scenario) then you’re in the right ballpark. Turns out I was right, and Cold Storage – although not without its flaws – is a lot of fun. I picked it up on the strength of Koepp’s credentials in the screenwriting industry, and also because it the blurb made it sound like a Michael Crichton-style techno-thriller crossed with a Stephen King schlock horror. With the help of two unwitting security guards, he has one night to quarantine this horror, before it destroys all of humanity.” Only Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz can stop it. After decades underground in a forgotten sub-basement, a highly mutative organism – capable of extinction-level destruction – has found its way out. ![]() Cold Storage is the debut novel of David Koepp, a screenwriter whose most famous credit is his work on Jurassic Park. ![]()

Kirihito Osinai is an idealistic young doctor dispatched to a remote area to study the previously unknown Monmow disease. It’s interesting to note it was created around the same time Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams were scything through social ills with their Green Lantern/Green Arrow pairing, yet even for Adams setting an entire story around a dog-faced man would have been a giant leap into the unknown. The first result of that conscious change of direction was Kirihito, as bleak a story as he ever wrote, incisive as a condemnation of the way he saw society declining, yet still cut through with a broad streak of whimsy. To shed that reputation he looked for ways he could become more relevant to the then present day audience. While he retained the reverence for his vast contribution to Japanese comics, at that point he was considered old-fashioned. Ode to Kirihito is an uncharacteristic work from Osamu Tezuka, who began the serialisation in 1970. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Interested in Katy’s research and writing?

If you read only one book this year, a story with dancing dwarfs is always a wise choice. “That is where we will have gone.”įrenetic as the story is, it’s hard not to love a novel that borrows equally from Calvin and Hobbes and The Usual Suspects. The father asks a time-traveling stegosaurus where all the dinosaurs went. The best scene in the book is brief and quiet. But once in a while, readers may wish that the author would stop throwing things. He makes pirates look both dangerous and adorable. Sometimes the book feels like a personal bet between the writer and the illustrator: “But can you draw this?” Young is always up to the challenge, no matter what gets thrown at him. The only trouble is, he’s kidnapped by aliens, and by the end of the book, he’s being threatened by dancing dwarfs.

Because political parties exert some power, however, they pressure the regime to make concessions. More acts of defection against the regime occur, and torture rates are higher. Alternative political points of view are endorsed, but some individuals go too far. There is more torture where power is shared, such as where dictatorships allow multiple political parties. But dictatorships are protorture regimes they have little interest in making gestures against torture, such as signing the CAT. ![]() ![]() In one-party or no-party dictatorships, few individuals defect against the regime.

Eventually, however, wealth and lust prove too much for Siddhartha. For a time, Siddhartha is content with his life and is able to maintain a Samana-like distance from material concerns. Siddhartha begins working for a wealthy merchant named Kamaswami and becomes Kamala’s lover. Kamala says he needs money, clothes, and shoes. He offers himself to her as a student in the art of love, but is gently rebuffed. Siddhartha travels to a nearby town where he is entranced by the beauty of a well-known courtesan named Kamala. He decides instead that he’s an independent learner and is done with doctrine. Despite Govinda’s urgings and despite recognizing Gotama as the Holiest Man Ever, Siddhartha opts not to follow Gotama. Govinda is impressed and chooses to join Gotama’s community of monks. Although the two friends learn quite a bit from the Samana way of life, they are still dissatisfied and decide to hear the teachings of Gotama Buddha. His best friend, Govinda, accompanies him, and the two men spend three years with the Samanas learning how to withstand pain and hunger in an effort to flee the body’s limitations. Siddhartha decides to join the Samanas, who are a group of wandering ascetics. He is spiritually dissatisfied and believes the elders in his community have nothing more to teach him.
