Book Description
An all-new science fiction manga epic about how the fate of humanity against alien invaders lies in the hands of one unique girl... and an unstoppable military weapon LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Alliances and subterfuge are the order of the day! Japan’s military, anxious to prevent the the sentient submarine 401 from leaving for the United States, takes desperate action. What they haven’t banked on is Gunzou and his crew getting help from two Fog ships: Hyuga, who’s kept the 401 in good repair and maintained the crew’s base of operations, and the opportunistic Takao, who’s allied herself with them in pursuit of her own goals. On the other side of the world, Gunzou’s father-the 401 ’s former captain, Chihaya Shouzou–supported by the Musashi and other likeminded Fog vessels, announces a new approach for making Earth’s oceans once again safe for humanity and Fog alike, but under his authority. Gunzou has plans of his own for bringing peace to the world, if only Japan can be persuaded to go along with them...

Book Description
The popular science-fiction series of naval strategy and political drama continues! It’s been seventeen long years since the Fleet of Fog—a mysterious, unmanned fleet of powerful vessels that appeared out of nowhere—took control of the oceans, barring humanity from traveling between continents or islands.Now, a weapon powerful enough to damage the Fog’s vessels has finally been invented, and there’s just one way of getting the critical information and prototypes from Japan to America, where the weapon can be produced. The submarine I-401, with its humanoid avatar—a “mental model” named Iona, who’s taken the shape of a young girl—was once part of the Fleet of Fog, but has chosen to side with humanity. Captained by Chihaya Gunzo and his crew, the I-401 is the only ship under human control that can move freely through the seas. But she answers only to her captain, and he answers to no one.

Book Description
The New York Times bestseller and basis for the Tony-winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens. But Elphaba’s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard’s secret police are everywhere. Animals—those creatures with voices, souls, and minds—are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals—even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name—one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel’s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire’s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.

Book Description
THE FOG ROLLS IN Chihaya Gunzou, captain of the sentient submarine known as I-401, is renowned for his unorthodox tactics. His unpredictability is a strength when it's just him and his crew against the world, but with two massive Fog battleships attacking their home port, Yokosuka, the I-401 has to team up with a human-built submarine to try to take them down—without letting the Fog ships anticipate their next move! The good news is that the other sub is a "White Whale," representing the most cutting-edge technology Japan can produce. What's more, Gunzou has an invaluable advantage: a former crew member is temporarily serving as part of the White Whale's crew, and she knows how Gunzou thinks. Meanwhile, the Fog battleships Kirishima and Haruna are determined to be the ones to capture the renegade I-401, and they have a plan that no one can see coming.
