Kevin Bowman er ved at miste håbet. Selv med autobotternes hjælp har han stadig ingen spor at gå efter i sin søgen efter sin forsvundne storebror. Pludselig får han hjælp fra en helt uventet kant – teenagemilliardæren Douglas Porter. Douglas har adgang til hemmeligstemplet information og mener, at en mystisk grotte i Battle Mountain kan rumme de svar, som Kevin søger. Gears og Bumblebee tager med Kevin og Douglas for at undersøge sagen – men de er ikke alene. Decepticonerne er lige i hælene på dem! Vil Kevin finde det, han leder efter? Eller er det en fælde? Den mægtige Algnist, der er kilden til alle Transformeres livskraft, dukker op på planeten Jorden efter at have været forsvundet i millioner af år. Dette bliver starten på et episk opgør mellem de få overlevende autobotter og decepticons, der vil kæmpe til det sidste for at sikre sig Algnisten. Hvis den falder i decepticonernes kløer, bliver det enden på både menneskeheden og autobotterne – så nu må robotter og mennesker arbejde sammen for vinde over den frygtelige Megatron.

Contributors to this volume explore the theoretical issues at stake in recent changes in form criticism and the practical outcomes of applying the results of these theoretical shifts to the Book of the Twelve. This volume combines self-conscious methodological reflection with practical examination of specific texts in an effort to demonstrate the practical consequences of theoretical decisions and the value of certain methodological stances.

This book presents a psychoanalysis of technoscience. Basic concepts and methods developed by Freud, Jung, Bachelard and Lacan are applied to case histories (palaeoanthropology, classical conditioning, virology). Rather than by disinterested curiosity, technoscience is driven by desire, resistance and the will to control. Moreover, psychoanalysis focusses on primal scenes (Dubois' quest for the missing link, Pavlov's discovery of the conditioned reflex) and opts for triangulation: comparing technoscience to "different scenes" provided by novels, so that Dubois's work is compared to missing link novels by Verne and London and Pavlov's experiments with Skinner's Walden Two, while virology is studied through the lens of viral fiction.
