SynopsisBen Thompson--author of Badass, creator of the epic website badassoftheweek.com, and the Internet's foremost expert on badassitude--is back to enthrall lovers of skull-smashing, bone-crushing bad behavior with his latest compendium, Badass: The Birth of a Legend. Like its macho predecessor, Badass: The Birth of a Legend celebrates fearless berserkers of every stripe, male and female, but this time pulls them from the hoary pages of mythology, fantasy fiction, and the silver screen--from Zeus to Beowulf to Dirty Harry Callahan, the most merciless gods, monsters, heroes, villains, and mythical creatures ever envisioned. Forget your whiny Twilight vampires and werewolves, these badasses kick butt!, From sex-crazed gods to ravenous monsters, Ben Thompson brings legendary titans to life in tales of adventure, bloodlust, and unrelenting badassitude. Since the beginning of human history people have created myths, tall tales, superheroes, and arch-villains-men and women who embarked on insane adventures, performed extraordinary feats of unparalleled awesomeness, and overcame all odds to violently smite their foes into bloody pulp. In Badass: The Birth of a Legend, Ben Thompson compiles these fantastical tales from the beginning of time to today and tells them in the completely over-the-top manner in which they were intended, including: Rama The Indian god-king who led an army of monkeys against the King of All Demons Thor The Viking god of thunder and awesome hair, who crushed the skulls of giants with a ridiculously huge hammer Beowulf An Anglo-Saxon hero so hardcore he could arm-wrestle monsters' joints out of their sockets Moby-Dick The hate-filled literary behemoth who obliterated ship hulls with his face Skuld The Norse necromancer queen who summoned a horde of zombie berserkers Dirty Harry Callahan The prototypical modern-day antihero and very embodiment of badass, Ben Thompson--author of Badass , creator of the epic website badassoftheweek.com, and the Internet's foremost expert on badassitude--is back to enthrall lovers of skull-smashing, bone-crushing bad behavior with his latest compendium, Badass: The Birth of a Legend.
