Aliens mating with earthlings? It’s true. And now three of their otherworldly offspring have stolen a spaceship and are zooming toward Earth in search of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. Parking their saucer in Sydney, Australia, they shapeshift into luscious earthgirl form. When the alien who calls herself Baby Baby abducts Jake and straps him into the saucer’s sexual experimentation chamber, the global warming begins.    Next the Babes decide to form a band and soon they’ve skyrocketed to rock 'n’ roll stardom. But trouble is on its way in the small gray shape of Captain Qwerk, who has set out to recapture them, with the U.S. Military and Eros, the excitable asteroid, right behind. Rock ‘n’ Roll Babes from Outer Space proves that Jaivin’s imaginative powers put her in a league with Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams. With a brave and racy wit, Jaivin delivers her most outrageous, enjoyable novel yet.    “Witty and wickedly satiric . . . the plot is rocket-fueled and the puns almost literally fly off the page. Few writers have skewered the rock and roll world so savagely and accurately and with so much delight.”—Washington Post Book World

<p>China contains a multitude. Its unruly complexity is part of its grandeur.Modern China is at once an economic powerhouse and authoritarian state, an increasingly assertive superpower and an icon of modernity. Chinese history is no less contradictory. Heroes to some are villains to others; times of peace and prosperity give way to violence and famine; creativity flourishes in the midst of censorship and repression.Jaivin distils this vast, complex story into a vivid narrative, from ancient times to Xi Jinping, the * pandemic and the rise of the 'wolf warriors'. She dismantles ideas of a monolithic China, revealing a nation of startling diversity. And she gives China's women, from ancient warriors, inventors and rebels to their 21st-century counterparts, long overdue attention.Finally, as age-old spectres of corruption and disunity continue to haunt the People's Republic, she considers what lies ahead, both for China and the world.</p>
