Book Description

After their entire class was transported to another world, Yogiri Takatou and Tomochika Dannoura were abandoned when it was discovered they had failed to receive the Gift, a special power that the rest of their class inherited from a powerful Sage named Sion. What none of the others knew, however, was that Yogiri already had his own unique power — one that multiple world governments back home were keeping him under observation for: the power of Instant Death! With Yogiri’s abilities now exposed and being scrutinized by Sages and Swordmasters alike, this unlikely duo continues their adventure, determined to find a way back to Japan. The only lead they have to go on is to follow their former classmates’ trail and track down the formidable Sion in the hopes that she’ll be willing to negotiate. But even with the power of Instant Death on their side, the world around them seems intent on making the task as much of a hassle as possible!

But of course, nothing is ever simple.

Having overcome countless trials (without much difficulty), Yogiri and Tomochika finally managed to reunite with their classmates in the capital. But between the efforts of Ayaka, a synthetic classmate who swore revenge against her fellow students, the meddling of Sion, a Sage determined to cull the weak and produce a new superbeing from their class of candidates, and the revival of the Dark God Mana, the majority of the class — not to mention the entire capital — were ultimately wiped out. Somehow, amid the chaos, the unlikely pair were able to draw Sion out and acquire their first concrete clue about how to get home: they will need a number of Philosopher’s Stones, powerful artifacts carried within the bodies of the Sages. After taking one from Sion and finding another dropped into their laps by Risley, the only surviving clone of the Sage Lain, who they killed some time earlier, the two highschoolers set off in search of a third energy source, leaving a trail of ruins behind them.

The Sense of an Ending


Book Description

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
