"I was very interested in what he focused on, on what was important to him," Adam says of the memoir. is at an all-time high.Īdam has described Songs of Surrender as a sonic insight into The Edge's artistry, while the book that inspired the record - Bono's memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story - was a literary lens into the frontman's makeup as a human being, one that even decades of friendship couldn't grant. He tells Q104.3 New York's QN'A that the interband rivalry is all in good fun, and in fact his appreciation of Edge, Bono and Larry Mullen, Jr. "I had approached them because I was a little bit jealous that Edge had got an amp," Adam admits. This spring, bassist Adam Clayton saw a years-long side project come to fruition with the unveiling of his signature Fender ACB 50 amplifier - an endeavor that came in the footsteps of The Edge 's own partnership with the renowned company. The band is also preparing for its highly-anticipated return to the stage later this year in Las Vegas at the MSG Sphere, celebrating the legacy of its Achtung Baby album. Some 45 years into its career, U2 just released its first album in six years, Songs of Surrender, and premiered an acclaimed new documentary on Disney+. As one of the most impactful rock bands in history, there's not much left for U2 to accomplish, but the band is still exploring new frontiers. The villain in this book is far more menacing because he’s much more human. Lord Machado was an over-the-top cipher of a villain, a kind of nebulous presence that felt like a bad retread of all the most camp Dark Lords from epic fantasy (TVTropes). There’s a lot that makes Monster Hunter Vendetta an improvement on the first book. Nothing is ever easy for a monster hunter. And Grant Jefferson is back at MHI after his brief stint in Hollywood, apparently eager for some more monster-hunting action. But it’s not easy: there’s a spy inside MHI, and Owen has a protective detail assigned to him from the Monster Control Bureau. Owen, understandably not interested in such a trip, has to find out how to stop this necromancer. Oh, and he wants to send Owen through the portal as a gift to his Elder God master, the Dread Lord. It sounds very similar, I know, but there are some important differences-in this case, the necromancer has a past with Monster Hunter International. This time instead of rushing to stop the shadowy Lord Machado from opening a portal to the realm of the Elder Gods, Owen must stop a shadowy English necromancer from opening a portal to the realm of the Elder Gods. Monster Hunter Vendetta continues the storyline from the first book in the series. the Old Ones/Elder Gods/Creepy Extradimensional Squid Monsters. In short, it is a book about a girl who lives in a shitty area with her mom, hasn’t had the best life, and wants something more. I suppose when you just barely skim the synopsis that’s bound to happen. This book was a bit different than I expected, but not in a bad way.

When a rescue goes awry and results in the death of something precious, a devastated Guinevere returns to Camelot to find the greatest threat yet has arrived. The more she tries to claim herself as queen, the more she wonders if Mordred was right: she doesn’t belong. She has no sense of who she truly was before she was Guinevere. The closer she gets to Brangien, pining for her lost love Isolde, Lancelot, fighting to prove her worth as Queen’s knight, and Arthur, everything to everyone and thus never quite enough for Guinevere–the more she realizes how empty she is. Guinevere might have accepted her role, but she still cannot find a place for herself in all of it. Yet every night, dreams of darkness and unknowable power plague her.
