A biography of Thomas Sowell, one of America's most influential conservative thinkers Thomas Sowell is one of the great social theorists of our age. In a career spanning more than a half century, he has written over thirty books, covering topics from economic history and social inequality to political theory, race, and culture. His bold and unsentimental assaults on liberal orthodoxy have endeared him to many readers but have also enraged fellow intellectuals, the civil-rights establishment, and much of the mainstream media. The result has been a lack of acknowledgment of his scholarship among critics who prioritize political correctness. In the first-ever biography of Sowell, Jason Riley gives this iconic thinker his due and responds to the detractors. Maverick showcases Sowell's most significant writings and traces the life events that shaped his ideas and resulted in a Black orphan from the Jim Crow South becoming one of our foremost public intellectuals.

D-Voyant is a graphic novel adventure that takes place in a post apocalyptic Earth. When the Earth is destroyed, unlikely heroes must fight for the freedom of the oppressed Forgotten Ones to save humanity. The author of this book, Hutchinson Boyd, wrote this book as a living tribute to his older brother, Darren. Darren was a huge inspiration in his younger brother's life because he was born with autism and epilepsy. However, these disabilities never held him back from being the best parts of himself. Instead, through bullying, prejudice, and lack of support from his peers, Darren remained a positive and bright light for his younger brother to follow. Hutchinson always saw his older brother as a hero and decided to make him one in the story D-Voyant.
