However, Snowden’s outlook changed with experience. At this time, Snowden was a strong supporter of the government, reportedly saying that anyone who leaks secret documents should be “shot in the balls.” He had a natural talent with computers, referring to himself as a "computer wizard" and was quickly admitted for training in a CIA program for technology specialists. Despite no formal training, Snowden had very little trouble advancing through the ranks. ![]() In 2006, Snowden attended a career fair where he was offered a position at the CIA.

It’s been quite some time since I read the first book in this series, Stillhouse Lake, and one of the reasons I waited so long – besides the usual problems of a crowded TBR – was that my previous experience with one of Rachel Caine’s series, namely The Great Library, soured a little with the second installment and I was wary of a repeat occurrence. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just like Spencer, Kirsty bases her decisions from her lost humanity. Seifert develops a new tale that examines that missing gap of Kirsty’s life as the new Pinhead. In Clive Barker’s “Hellraiser ” issue #13, Kirsty has already served her role for some time, but readers never found out what actually happened in-between. With the focus on Kirsty, Seifert takes the “Hellraiser” mythology to a whole new level. Whose side will Kirsty choose, the helpless mother or the vicious killer? Outside the realm of Hell, a young mother discovers a killer is on the hunt for her daughter. ![]() ![]() With Spencer gone and free, Kirsty now reigns in Hell as the Cenobites’ new Priestess. Hoping to save her friends and family, Kirsty sacrificed herself and took over the role inhabited by Captain Elliot Spencer. In order to escape from Hell, Pinhead needed a replacement to serve in his place. Seeking revenge after his last defeat, Pinhead manipulated Kirsty Cotton into taking his place at Hell’s throne. Readers should expect plenty of scares and clever plot twists with this issue. Full of creative ideas, Brandon Seifert and Haemi Jang show readers that there is still life within the “Hellraiser” franchise without Elliot Spencer in the title role. With the spotlight on Kirsty Cotton as the new Pinhead, the series takes on an entirely new and different approach. Hellraiser: The Road Below #1 is highly recommended to readers, especially to fans of Clive Barker’s famous creation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While an excess of chaos threatens us with uncertainty, an excess of order leads to a lack of curiosity and creative vitality.īeyond Order therefore calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality – order and chaos – and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them.
