'Geoff Ryman's new novel is swift, smart and convincing. Air is a wonderful and frightening examination of old and new, and survival on the interface between'. – Greg Bear 'This is a liminal book: its characters are on the threshold of something new; their village is on the brink of change; the world is launching into a new way to connect; humanity, at the end of the novel, is on the cusp of evolution… its plot is exciting and suspenseful, its characters gripping, its wisdom lightly and gracefully offered, its language clear and beautiful. Like The Child Garden, Air is both humane and wise. This novel is such a village. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It becomes finer as I think back on it, and I look forward to rereading it. I only wish Ryman's work were more widely available...

They are America's front lines-serving proudly in forward areas around the world. Representing the very best from the Army and Air Force, the Airborne Task Force is an unstoppable combination of manpower and firepower. Now, Tom Clancy examines this elite branch of our nation's armed forces. With pinpoint accuracy and a style more compelling than any fiction, the acclaimed author of Executive Orders delivers an fascinating account of the Airborne juggernaut-the people, the technology, and Airborne's mission in an ever-changing world… * Two Tom Clancy 'mini-novels'-real world scenarios involving the airborne task force * Airborne's weapons of the 21st century, including the Javelin anti-tank missile, the fiber-optically guided N-LOS fire support system, and the Joint Strike Fighter * 18...

Emerson Watts didn’t even want to go to the new SoHo Stark Megastore grand opening. But someone needed to look out for her sister Frida, whose crush, British heartthrob Gabriel Luna, would be singing and signing autographs there — along with the newly appointed Face of Stark, teen supermodel sensation Nikki Howard. How was Em to know that disaster would strike, changing her — and life as she’d known it — forever? One devastating accident later, and Em Watts, always the tomboy, never the party princess, is no longer herself. Literally. Now getting her best friend Christopher to notice that she’s actually a girl is the least of Em’s problems. But what Em’s pretty sure she’ll never be able to accept might just turn out to be the one thing that’s going to...

From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and author of the Cairo trilogy, comes Akhenaten, a fascinating work of fiction about the most infamous pharaoh of ancient Egypt. In this beguiling new novel, originally published in 1985 and now appearing for the first time in the United States, Mahfouz tells with extraordinary insight the story of the 'heretic pharaoh,' or 'sun king,'-and the first known monotheistic ruler-whose iconoclastic and controversial reign during the 18th Dynasty (1540-1307 B.C.) has uncanny resonance with modern sensibilities. Narrating the novel is a young man with a passion for the truth, who questions the pharaoh's contemporaries after his horrible death-including Akhenaten's closest friends, his most bitter enemies, and finally his enigmatic wife,...

Aimee Leduc, a Parisian private investigator, has always sworn she would stick to tech investigation—no criminal cases for her. Especially since her father, the late police detective, was killed in the line of duty. But when an old Jewish man approaches Aimee with a top-secret decoding job on behalf of a woman in his synagogue, Aimee unwittingly takes on more than she was expecting. When she goes to drop off her findings at her client's house in the Marais, Paris's historic Jewish quarter, she finds the old woman strangled to death, a swastika carved on her forehead. With the help of her partner, Rene, Aimee sets out to solve this horrendous crime, but finds herself in an increasingly dangerous web of ancient secrets and buried war...

Praise for the Aimee Leduc series: “The buzz . . . is partly about her heroine’s hip, next-generation, cutting-edge investigations and partly about Paris, a setting of unrivaled charm.”—Houston Chronicle “If the cobblestones could talk, they might tell a tale as haunting as the one Cara Black spins.” —The New York Times Book Review “Will have readers on pins and needles.”—San Francisco Chronicle “One of the best new writers in the field today.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Conveys vividly those layers of history that make the stones of Paris sing for so many of us.”—Chicago Tribune “With its sights, sounds, and colorful past, it’s a particularly eventful and involving Paris visit.”—Los Angeles Times Spirited...

Praise for the Aimee Leduc series: 'If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black . . . instead.'--Val McDermid 'Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendentally, seductively, irresistibly French. If you can't go, these will do fine. Or, better, go and bring them with you.'--Alan Furst 'She makes Paris come alive as no one else has since Georges Simenon.'--Stuart Kaminsky 'If you've never been to Paris, or you'd like to go back soon, let Cara Black transport you there.'--Linda Fairstein 'Charming. . . . Aimee is one of those blithe spirits who can walk you through the city's historical streets and byways with their eyes closed.'--The New York Times Book Review Aimee's childhood friend,...
