Now Robin Harris, for many years Mrs. Thatcher’s speechwriter, close
adviser, and the draftsman of both volumes of her autobiography, has written
the definitive book about this indomitable woman. In this international
bestseller, he tells the compelling story of her life, from humble beginnings
above her father’s grocery store in Grantham, her early days as one of the
first women in Westminster (she became known as “Thatcher Milk Snatcher”
during her time in the Ministry of Education) and then on to her
groundbreaking career as Prime Minister (by which time her reputation
already demanded a more powerful epithet: “Iron Lady”).
We follow Thatcher through hard-fought political battles and experience her
tribulations, we see her sometimes troubled friendship with Ronald Reagan and
their shared staunch opposition to Communism. We learn of the intrigue
behind the scenes at Ten Downing Street, and how when she refused to alter
course and, adapting the words of a British play, she declared: “You turn if
you want to. The Lady's Not for Turning.”
This international bestseller is an unforgettable portrait of Britain’s first
woman Prime Minister, written by one of her most trusted advisers, and a
fitting tribute to an extraordinary leader.
PR A I SE
“The political biography of the decade.” —Daily Mail (UK)
"[A] lively and accessible insider's account.” —Financial Times (UK)
“It is refreshing...Harris is like a long-faithful courtier freed by a monarch's death
to speak the truth about them.” —Guardian (UK)
“No-holds-barred, well-written...contains the most authoritative account of her life
after leaving office...a dramatic account.” —The Times (UK)
ROBIN HARRIS worked for the Conservative Party from 1978, and increasingly closely with
Margaret Thatcher herself from 1985, writing her speeches and advising on policy. By the
close of her premiership, he was probably the most trusted member of her political team at
Downing Street, and he left Number Ten with her. As a member of her personal staff, he then
drafted the two volumes of her autobiography and a further book on her behalf, continuing to
see her regularly after her retirement.

In June 2008, in Mesa, Arizona, the body of 30-year-old Travis Alexander
was discovered brutally murdered in his home. He had been shot in the face,
slashed across the throat, and stabbed in the heart. Alexander had been a
devout Mormon, handsome and hard-working, beloved by all, and his death
came as an enormous shock.
Suspicion pointed to one woman: Jodi Arias. Travis had met Jodi at a
conference in Las Vegas just 18 months earlier, and he was instantly taken
with the beautiful aspiring photographer. But soon it became clear that Jodi
was in the grips of an obsession, and as Travis tried desperately to escape the
tumultuous relationship, her fixation continued to grow. When it seemed like
she would lose him forever, Jodi drove to Mesa and lured Travis into the
shower for a photo-shoot that would end in a bloodbath.
Despite a mountain of evidence implicating her, Jodi pled self-defense in the
bizarre eighteen-week trial before the jurors found her guilty of murder in the
first degree.

P.G. Wodehouse documented the lives of the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster
for nearly sixty years, from their first appearance in 1915 ("Extricating
Young Gussie") to his final completed novel (Aunts Aren't Gentlemen) in
1974. These two were the finest creations of a novelist widely proclaimed to
be the finest comic English writer by critics and fans alike.
Now, forty years later, Bertie and Jeeves return in a hilarious affair of mix-ups
and mishaps. With the approval of the Wodehouse estate, acclaimed novelist
Sebastian Faulks brings these two back to life for their legion of fans. Bertie,
nursing a bit of heartbreak over the recent engagement of one Georgina
Meadowes to someone not named Wooster, agrees to "help" his old friend
Peregrine "Woody" Beeching, whose own romance is foundering. That this
means an outing to Dorset, away from an impending visit from Aunt Agatha,
is merely an extra benefit. Almost immediately, things go awry and the
simple plan quickly becomes complicated. Jeeves ends up impersonating one
Lord Etringham, while Bertie pretends to be Jeeves' manservant
"Wilberforce,"-and this all happens under the same roof as the now affianced
Ms. Meadowes. From there the plot becomes even more hilarious and con...

Super Shred is a more intense, concentrated, shorter program that shares the
system and principles of the #1 bestseller Shred. At four weeks, it's almost
half the length of Shred and twice the intensity. There's always a customer
looking for a diet who not only wants but must have faster, more dramatic
results right away. All the same building blocks that have made Shred work for
dieters are here: diet confusion, meal replacement, frequent meals and snacks
throughout the day to keep metabolism stoked and to keep dieters from
feeling hungry or deprived. Super Shred is "destination dieting" at its best, a
plan specifically designed for the impatient or the short-term goal-oriented
who may need to get as lean as possible as fast as possible for a date, an event,
or a spring vacation. It's also for those who have had success on Shred (or
any other diet) but who need a quick refresher weight loss course, or to go
faster, for a four week cycle. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with
Shred.

Using the same principles--meal spacing, snacking, meal replacement and diet
confusion--that made his SHRED a major #1 bestseller--Dr. Ian Smith has
developed what dieters told him they needed: a quick-acting plan that is
safe and easy to follow at home, at work, or on the road.
SUPER SHRED
It's a program with four week-long cycles:
--Foundation, when you'll eat four meals and three snacks a day, start
shedding pounds and set yourself up for success
--Accelerate, when you'll kick it up and speed up weight loss
--Shape, the toughest week in the program, and the one that will get your
body back by keeping it guessing
--Tenacious, a final sprint that cements your improved eating habits and
melts off those last stubborn pounds
The SHRED system never leaves you hungry. It's a completely new way to
lose weight, stay slender, and feel fantastic about your body, mind and spirit!
Includes more than 50 all-new recipes for meal replacing smoothies and
soups!

Ivan Delgato, a former leader of a rebel group called the Runners, is released
from jail on the condition that he carry out a secret mission for the World
Council. His assignment is simple: stay under cover, but do absolutely
anything necessary to reach the planet Omega IX and offer the renegade
Runners clemency if they surrender---which may be complicated since Ivan’s
brutally violent brother has taken lead of the Runners in Ivan’s absence.
In search of the Runners, Ivan catches a ride out to the wildest reaches of the
galaxy via a mysterious transportation system, the Star Road. His fellow
passengers on Star Road Vehicle-66 are a suspicious group, all with their own
hidden reasons for traversing the star road. As the travelers contend with
increasingly deadly encounters, it isn’t long before suspicions build against
Ivan.
And as the Runners must choose one brother over the other, on a planet filled
with ancient secrets, those who survive will confront a mystery that changes

Edward VI: The Lost King of England
4/2009 | 9780312538934
On the morning of August 22, 1485, in fields several miles from Bosworth,
two armies faced each other, ready for battle. The might of Richard III's army
was pitted against the inferior forces of the upstart pretender to the crown,
Henry Tudor, a twenty-eight year old Welshman who had just arrived back on
British soil after fourteen years in exile. Yet this was to be a fight to the
death--only one man could survive; only one could claim the throne. It would
be the end of the War of the Roses.
It would become one of the most legendary battles in English history: the
only successful invasion since Hastings, it was the last time a king died on the
battlefield. But The Rise Of The Tudors is much more than the account of
the dramatic events of that fateful day in August. It is a tale of brutal feuds
and deadly civil wars, and the remarkable rise of the Tudor family from
obscure Welsh gentry to the throne of England--a story that began sixty
years earlier with Owen Tudor's affair with Henry V's widow, Katherine of
Valois.
Drawing on eyewitness reports, newly discovered manuscripts and the latest
archaeological evidence, including the recent discovery of Richard III's
remains, Chris Skidmore vividly recreates this battle-scarred world and the
reshaping of British history and the monarchy.
PR A I SE
Skidmore does a fine job or telling a complicated story that ends happily as
Henry, now Henry VII, founded the Tudor dynasty that included his son, Henry
VIII, and granddaughter, Elizabeth.
Skidmore's discussion of the archaeology of Bosworth and his postscript about the
forensic evidence leading to the possibility that Richard was executed on the
battlefield were particularly illuminating.
CHRIS SKIDMORE was born in Bristol, England in 1981. He taught history at Bristol
University and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. In 2010 he was elected as a British
Member of Parliament.

Leigh Steinberg is renowned as one of the greatest sports agents in history,
representing such All-Pro clients as Troy Aikman, Bruce Smith, and Ben

the top NFL Draft pick an unheard of six times. Director Cameron Crowe

sports, recounting priceless stories, like how he negotiated a $26.5 million
package for Steve Young--the biggest ever at the time--and how he passed on

Beginning with his early days as a student leader at Berkeley, Steinberg details
his illustrious rise into pro sports fame, his decades of industry dominance,
and how he overcame a series of high-profile struggles to regain his sobriety
and launch his comeback. This riveting story takes readers inside the inner

The small New England town of Coventry had weathered a thousand blizzards
. . . but never one like this. Icy figures danced in the wind and gazed through
children's windows with soul-chilling eyes. People wandered into the whiteout
and were never seen again. Families were torn apart, and the town would
never be the same.
Now, as a new storm approaches twelve years later, the folks of Coventry are
haunted by the memories of that dreadful blizzard and those who were lost in
the snow. Photographer Jake Schapiro mourns his little brother, Isaac, even
as---tonight---another little boy is missing. Mechanic and part-time thief
Doug Manning's life has been forever scarred by the mysterious death of his
wife, Cherie, and now he's starting over with another woman and more
ambitious crimes. Police detective Joe Keenan has never been the same since
that night, when he failed to save the life of a young boy . . . and the boy's
father vanished in the storm only feet away. And all the way on the other
side of the country, Miri Ristani receives a phone call . . . from a man who
died twelve years ago.
As old ghosts trickle back, this new storm will prove to be even more
terrifying than the last.

It's 1629, and King Charles I and his French queen Henrietta Maria have
reigned in England for less than three years. Young dwarf Jeffrey Hudson is
swept away from a village shambles and plunged into the Stuart court when his
father sells him to the most hated man in England—the Duke of Buckingham.
Buckingham trains Jeffrey to be his spy in the household of Charles’
seventeen-year-old bride, hoping to gain intelligence that will help him
undermine the vivacious queen’s influence with the king.
Desperately homesick in a country that hates her for her nationality and
Catholic faith, Henrietta Maria surrounds herself with her "Royal Menagerie
of Freaks and Curiosities of Nature"—a "collection" consisting of a giant, two
other dwarves, a rope dancer, an acrobat/animal trainer and now Jeffrey, who
is dubbed "Lord Minimus."
Dropped into this family of misfits, Jeffrey must negotiate a labyrinth of
court intrigue and his own increasingly divided loyalties. For not even the
plotting of the Duke nor the dangers of a tumultuous kingdom can order the
heart of a man. Though he is only eighteen inches tall, Jeffrey Hudson's love
will reach far beyond his grasp—to the queen he has been sent to destroy.

After graduating from Yale, William Baker, scion of an old line patrician
family, goes to work in presidential politics. But when the campaign into
which he's poured his heart ends in disappointment, he decides to leave New
York behind, along with the devoted, ambitious, and well-connected woman
he's been in love with for the last four years.
Will expects nothing more than a year off before resuming the comfortable
life he's always known, but he's soon caught up in a whirlwind of unexpected
friendships and romantic entanglements that threaten his safe plans. As he
explores the heady social world of Oxford, he becomes fast friends with Tom,
his snobbish but affable flat mate; Anil, an Indian economist with a deep love
for gangster rap; Anneliese, a German historian obsessed with photography;
and Timmo, whose chief ambition is to become a reality television star. What
he's least prepared for is Sophie, a witty, beautiful and enigmatic woman who
makes him question everything he knows about himself.

On December 9, 1938, the state of Georgia executed six black men in
eighty-one minutes in Tattnall Prison's electric chair. The executions were a
record for the state that still stands today. The new prison, built with funds
from FDR's New Deal, as well as the fact that the men were tried and executed
rather than lynched were thought to be a sign of progress. They were
anything but. While those men were arrested, convicted, sentenced, and
executed in as little as six weeks---E. D. Rivers, the governor of the state,
oversaw a pardon racket for white killers and criminals, allowed the Ku Klux
Klan to infiltrate his administration, and bankrupted the state. Race and
wealth were all that determined whether or not a man lived or died. There was
no progress. There was no justice.

David Beasley's Without Mercy is the harrowing true story of the Great
Depression, the New Deal, and the violent death throes of the Klan, but most
of all it is the story of the stunning injustice of these executions and how they
have seared distrust of the legal system into the consciousness of the Deep
South, and it is a story that will forever be a testament to the death penalty's
appalling inequality that continues to plague our nation

Just over a century ago British troops were fighting a vicious frontier war
against Pashtun tribeman on the North West Frontier--the great-greatgrandfathers of the Taliban and tribal insurgents in modern-day Afghanistan.
Winston Churchill, then a young cavalry lieutenant, wrote a vivid account of
what he saw during his first major campaign. The Story of the Malakand Field
Force, published in 1898, was Churchill's first book and, a hundred years later,
is required reading for military commanders on the ground, both British and
American.
In Churchill's First War, acclaimed author and foreign correspondent, Con
Coughlin tells the story of that campaign, a story of high adventure and
imperial success, which contains many lessons and warnings for today.
Combining historical narrative, interviews with contemporary key players,
and the journalist's eye for great color and analysis, Churchill's First War
affords us a rare insight into both the nineteenth-century "Great Game" and
the twenty-first-century conflict that has raged longer than World War II.

Coughlin's portrait of the Pashtun warriors the British fought with dubious
success and the parallels he draws with the United States and nato's struggle
against their descendants are downright unnerving.
[Coughlin] has given us a fascinating portrait of a young man who knew what he
wanted in life, and set out to achieve it with the relentlessness and determination
that would later make him a legend. The book will be of particular interest to those
who have fought in the most recent Afghan War. The Talib (students) that
Churchill fought are the forerunners of today's Taliban.

Legacy of Honor: The Values and Influence of
During the Vietnam War, hundreds of American prisoners-of-war faced years
of brutal conditions and horrific torture at the hands of North Vietnamese
guards and interrogators who ruthlessly plied them for military intelligence
and propaganda. Determined to maintain their Code of Conduct, the POWs
developed a powerful underground resistance. To quash it, their captors
singled out its eleven leaders, Vietnam's own "dirty dozen," and banished them
to an isolated jail that would become known as Alcatraz. None would leave its
solitary cells and interrogation rooms unscathed; one would never return.
As these eleven men suffered in Hanoi, their wives at home launched an
extraordinary campaign that would ultimately spark the nationwide
POW/MIA movement. The members of these military families banded
together and showed the courage not only to endure years of doubt about the
fate of their husbands and fathers, but to bravely fight for their safe return.
When the survivors of Alcatraz finally came home, one veteran would go on
to receive the Medal of Honor, another would become a U.S. Senator, and a
third still serves in the U.S. Congress.
A powerful story of survival and triumph, Alvin Townley's Defiant will
inspire anyone wondering how courage, faith, and brotherhood can endure
even in the darkest of situations.

two-decker, Fourth Rate 50. Are his frigate days over for good?
Lewrie’s ordered to Gibraltar, but Foreign Office Secret Branch’s spies and
manipulators have use for him, again! HMS Sapphire is the wrong ship for the
task, raising chaos and mayhem along the Spanish coasts, and servicing agents
and informers. And what he’s ordered to do needs soldiers, landing craft, and a
transport ship, all of which he doesn’t have, and must find a way to finagle it
all.
He could beg off and say that it’s asking too much, but . . . Alan Lewrie is not
a man to admit failure and defeat, and his quest might prove the most
daunting of his long naval career.

The first time Eby Pim saw Lost Lake, it was on a picture postcard. Just an
old photo and a few words on a small square of heavy stock, but when she saw
it, she knew she was seeing her future.
That was half a life ago. Now Lost Lake is about to slip into Eby’s past. Her
husband George is long passed. Most of her demanding extended family are
gone. All that’s left is a once-charming collection of lakeside cabins
succumbing to the Southern Georgia heat and damp, and an assortment of
faithful misfits drawn back to Lost Lake year after year by their own
unspoken dreams and desires.
It’s a lot, but not enough to keep Eby from relinquishing Lost Lake to a
developer with cash in hand, and calling this her final summer at the lake.
Until one last chance at family knocks on her door.
Lost Lake is where Kate Pheris spent her last best summer at the age of
twelve, before she learned of loneliness, and heartbreak, and loss. Now she’s
all too familiar with those things, but she knows about hope too, thanks to
her resilient daughter Devin, and her own willingness to start moving forward.
Perhaps at Lost Lake her little girl can cling to her own childhood for just a

Delta Force operator Kolt Raynor must thwart a deadly terrorist plot
in this globe-hopping special operations thriller in the New York
Times bestselling series
When SEAL Team Six killed Osama bin Laden, they pulled a treasure trove of
intelligence on planned attacks on U.S. soil. Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's
new leader, is activating his most trusted (and deadliest) terrorists to carry out
his newest plot: to detonate a bomb inside one of the sixty-four commercial
nuclear power plants in the U.S. in an attack ten times worse than 9/11,
causing radiological fallout that would kill hundreds of thousands of innocent
Americans.
The President wants answers quickly, and after Kolt Raynor saved his life a
few months earlier, he knows Delta Force is fully capable. But Kolt is on the
verge of getting forced out of JSOC for disobeying orders in Pakistan--and
when he's offered a slot in Tungsten, an ultra-secret deep-cover organization,
he jumps at the chance. Now his task is to infiltrate al Qaeda and prevent this
deep-cover terror cell from making their plot a reality before it's too late.
In Full Assault Mode, former Delta Force commander Dalton Fury takes

step costs lives, and one minute might just be one minute too late . . .

Warren Hament is a bright young man who wanders into a career in finance in
the early 1980s. Nothing Personal is the extraordinary story of his rapid
ascent toward success, painted against a landscape of temptation and personal
discovery. Introduced to the seductive, elite bastions of wealth and privilege,
and joined by his gorgeous and ambitious girlfriend, he gets a career boost
when his mentor is found dead.
Warren soon finds himself at the center of two murder investigations as a
crime spree seemingly focused on powerful finance wizards plagues Wall

Impoverished and exiled to the French countryside after the overthrow of the
English Crown, Frances Stuart survives merely by her blood-relation to the
Stuart Royals. But in 1660, the Restoration of the Stuart Monarchy in
England returns her family to favor. Frances discards threadbare gowns and
moves to gilded Fontainebleau Palace, where she soon catches the Sun King's
eye. But Frances is no ordinary court beauty--she has Stuart secrets to keep
and her family to protect. King Louis XIV turns vengeful when she rejects his
offer to become his Official Mistress. He banishes her to England with orders
to seduce King Charles II and secure an alliance.
Armed in pearls and silks, Frances maneuvers the political turbulence of
Whitehall Palace, but still can't afford to stir a scandal. Her tactic to inspire
King Charles to greatness captivates him. He believes her love can make him
a better man, and even chooses Frances to pose as Britannia for England's
coins. Frances survives the Great Fire, the Great Plague, and the debauchery
of the Restoration Court, yet loses her heart to the very king she must
control. The discovery of a dangerous plot will force her to choose between
love for herself and war for her beloved country.

One Way Out is the powerful biography of The Allman Brothers Band, an oral
history written with the band's participation and filled with original, neverbefore-published interviews as well as personal letters and correspondence.
This is the most in-depth look at a legendary American rock band that has
meant so much to so many for so long.
For twenty-five years, Alan Paul has covered and written about The Allman
Brothers Band, conducting hundreds of interviews, riding the buses with them,
attending rehearsals and countless shows. He has interviewed every living band
member for this book as well as managers, roadies, and contemporaries,
including: Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Jaimoe, Butch Trucks, Warren
Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, the late Allen Woody, Jimmy
Herring, Eric Clapton, Bob Weir, and many others.
Tracking the band's career from their 1969 formation to today, One Way Out
is filled with musical and cultural insights, riveting tales of sometimes violent
personality conflicts and betrayals, drug and alcohol use, murder allegations
and exoneration, tragic early deaths, road stories, and much more, including
the most in-depth look at the acrimonious 2000 parting with founding
guitarist Dickey Betts and behind-the-scenes information on the recording of
At Fillmore East, Layla, Eat A Peach, Brothers and Sisters, and other classic
albums.

In the late nineteenth century, as cities like Boston and New York grew more
congested, the streets became clogged with plodding, horse-drawn carts. When
the great blizzard of 1888 crippled the entire northeast, a solution had to be
found. Two brothers from one of the nation's great families—Henry Melville
Whitney of Boston and William Collins Whitney of New York—pursued the
dream of his city digging America's first subway, and the great race was on.
The competition between Boston and New York played out in an era not
unlike our own, one of economic upheaval, life-changing innovations, class
warfare, bitter political tensions, and the question of America’s place in the
world.The Race Underground is peopled with the famous, like Boss Tweed,
Grover Cleveland and Thomas Edison, and the not-so-famous, from brilliant
engineers to the countless "sandhogs" who shoveled, hoisted and blasted their
way into the earth’s crust, sometimes losing their lives in the construction of
the tunnels. Doug Most chronicles the science of the subway, looks at the
centuries of fears people overcame about traveling underground and tells a
story as exciting as any ever ripped from the pages of U.S. history. The Race
Underground is a great American saga of two rival American cities, their rich,
powerful and sometimes corrupt interests, and an invention that changed the

It's the story of Yoine Levkes, a hassidic boy of the Canadian prairies, his

1950s. Confronted with dying people, an ailing culture, the perils of
near-orphanhood and the allures of Sabina Mandelbroit, whose family doesn't
keep the Sabbath, Yoine can no longer tell whether he's a human being or a
loot-bag of conflicting traditions. He's too religious to be 'normal,' too
'normal' not to realize this, and too much of a kid to be able to make any
sense of it.

Paris, 1933. A refugee with no papers, no legal status, and few resources, Willi
Kraus lives in fear of deportation back to Nazi Germany. His reputation as a
top sleuth however precedes him, and he's soon enlisted to work as a private
eye--if under shady circumstances. Despite his apparent good fortune he finds
himself a stranger in a very strange land. France is gripped by a fog of
disillusionment, anxious about the tides of fascism rising along her borders.
Seduced by a sultry but troubled young French girl and befriended by France's
most flamboyant financier, Willi finds himself unwittingly drawn into a
murder mystery whose trail points towards the highest halls of power.
Without a badge, working alone, he gradually gets the impression he's being
led into a maze. By whom and for what purpose? To escape this web of
intrigue he must learn to navigate not only the grand salons of Paris but her
seediest alleys and darkest canals, her smokiest nightclubs--a landscape as
disorienting as a hall of mirrors, where sex, politics, money and love are often
just tricks of the eye...in Paul Grossman's Brotherhood of Fear.

Read it, then hope Grossman writes more about Willi in Paris. He has plenty of
time before the Nazis arrive.

Welcome to Little Wing.
It's a place like hundreds of others, nothing special, really. But for four
friends--all born and raised in this small Wisconsin town--it is home. And now
they are men, coming into their own or struggling to do so.
One of them never left, still working the family farm that has been tilled for
generations. But others felt the need to move on, with varying degrees of
success. One trades commodities, another took to the rodeo circuit, and one
of them even hit it big as a rock star. And then there's Beth, a woman who
has meant something special in each of their lives.
Now all four are brought together for a wedding. Little Wing seems even
smaller than before. While lifelong bonds are still strong, there are
stresses--among the friends, between husbands and wives. There will be
heartbreak, but there will also be hope, healing, even heroism as these
memorable people learn the true meaning of adult friendship and love.
Seldom has the American heartland been so richly and accurately portrayed.
Though the town may have changed, the one thing that hasn't is the beauty
of the Wisconsin farmland, the lure of which, in Nickolas Butler's hands,
emerges as a vibrant character in the story. Sho...

Brooks Robinson is one of baseball's most transcendent and revered players.
He won a record sixteen straight Gold Gloves at third base, led one of the best
teams of the era, and is often cited as the greatest fielder in baseball history.
Credited with almost single-handedly winning the 1970 World Series, this
MVP was immortalized in a Normal Rockwell painting. A wholesome player
and role model, Brooks honored the game of baseball not only with his play
but with his class and character off the field.
Author of The Bird: The Life and Legacy of Mark Fidrych, Doug Wilson
returns to baseball's Golden Age to detail the birth of a new franchise through
the man who came to symbolize it as one of baseball's most beloved players.
Through numerous interviews with people from every part of the legendary
player's life, Wilson reveals never-before-reported information to illuminate
Brooks's remarkable skill and warm personality.
Brooks takes readers back to an era when players fought for low-paying
yearly contracts, spanning the turbulent 60s and 70s and into the dawning of
the free agent era. He was elected to the MLB All-Century Team and as
president of the MLB Players Alumni, Brooks continues to influence today's
baseball players.

In this riveting biography of Elizabeth Seton critically acclaimed and
bestselling author Joan Barthel tells the mesmerizing story of a woman whose
life featured wealth and poverty, passion and sorrow, love and loss. Elizabeth
was born into a prominent New York City family in 1774. Her father was the
chief health officer for the Port of New York and she lived down the block
from Alexander Hamilton. She danced at George Washington's sixty-fifth
Birthday Ball wearing cream slippers, monogrammed. Catholicism was illegal
in New York when she was born; Catholic priests seen in the city were
arrested, sometimes hung. When Elizabeth and her wealthy husband Will
sailed to Italy in a doomed attempt to cure his tuberculosis, she and her family
were quarantined in a damp dungeon. And when Elizabeth later became a
Catholic, she was so scorned that people talked of burning down her house.
American Saint is the inspiring story of a brave woman who forged the way
for the other women who followed and who made a name for herself in a
world entirely ruled by men. Elizabeth resisted male clerical control of her
religious order, as nuns are doing today, and the publication of her story could
not be more timely. Maya Angelou has contributed the foreword.

Inspired by a personal loss, Greene explores the way that tragedy and time
assail one man's memories of his life and loves. Like his father before him,
Arthur Winthrop is the Headmaster of Vermont's elite Lancaster School. It is
the place he feels has given him his life, but is also the site of his undoing as
events spiral out of his control. Found wandering naked in Central Park, he
begins to tell his story to the police, but his memories collide into one
another, and the true nature of things, a narrative of love, of marriage, of
family and of a tragedy Arthur does not know how to address emerges.
Luminous and atmospheric, bringing to life the tight-knit enclave of a
quintessential New England boarding school, the novel is part mystery, part
love story and an exploration of the ties of place and family. Beautifully
written and compulsively readable, The Headmaster's Wife stands as a moving
elegy to the power of love as an antidote to grief.

Smart, moving, funny, deeply felt and told, The Headmaster's Wife is one of the
best books I've read so far this year.
This is a well-written book for grown-ups. Fast (be prepared to stay up all night
reading it, you won't want to stop) and cinematic in its scene set-ups and intensity.
A beautifully written look into a man's soul and how he copes with an
increasingly cold marriage, a life-changing event, and the almost inevitable loss of
the small, safe world he's hidden in. A strong contender for my favorite 2014
novel (even this early in the year).

The USS Kentucky-a Trident ballistic missile submarine carrying a full
complement of 192 nuclear warheads-is about to go on a routine patrol. Not
long after it reaches the open sea, however, the Kentucky receives a launch
order. After receiving that launch order, it is cut off from all counter-orders
and disappears into the Pacific while it makes the eight-day transit to the
launch site. What the Kentucky's crew doesn't know is that those launch
orders haven't actually come from the U.S. government.
Rogue elements within the Mossad have learned that Iran has developed its
first nuclear weapon and, in ten days, will detonate it-and the target is Israel.
The suspected weapon complex is too far underground for conventional
weapons to harm it, and the only choice is a pre-emptive nuclear strike. With
limited time, this rogue group initiates a long-planned operation called the
Trident Deception. They'll transmit false orders and use a U.S. nuclear
submarine to launch the attack.
In this thriller from Rick Campbell, with only 8 days before the Kentucky is

communication, one senior officer, the father of one of the officers aboard
the submarine, must assemble and lead a team of attack submarines to find,

The best submarine novel since Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October.
The Trident Deception is a fistfight of a thriller that keeps you on the ropes from

really should be stamped Top Secret because this is the kind of masterpiece that
quickly moves other thrillers to the bargain table.
It's hard to admit, for a marine sniper like myself, but the deadliest weapon on the
battlefield is a nuclear submarine. No one puts the reader inside one like Rick
Campbell does in The Trident Deception. I couldn't put it down. Compelling and

The New England Mafia was a hugely powerful organization that survived by
using violence to ruthlessly crush anyone that threatened it, or its lucrative
gambling, loansharking, bootlegging and other enterprises. Psychopathic
strongman Joseph "The Animal" Barboza was one of the most feared mob
enforcers of all time, killing as many as thirty people for business and
pleasure.
From information based on newly declassified documents and the use of
underworld sources, Boston Mob spans the gutters and alleyways of East
Boston, Providence and Charlestown to the halls of Congress in Washington
D.C. and Boston's Beacon Hill. Its players include governors and mayors, and
the Mafia Commission of New York City. From the tragic legacy of the
Kennedy family to the Winter Hill-Charlestown feud, the fall of the New
England Mafia and the rise of Whitey Bulger, Mark Songini's Boston Mob is a
saga of treachery, murder, greed, and the survival of ruthless men pitted

June 1945. When Ingrid Bergman walks into the lobby of the Ritz hotel in
Paris, war photographer Robert Capa is enchanted. From the moment he slips
a mischievous invitation to dinner under her door, the two find themselves
helplessly attracted. Played out against the cafés and nightclubs of post-war
Paris and the parties and studios of Hollywood, they pursue an intense and
increasingly reckless affair.
But the light-hearted Capa, who likes nothing more than to spend his
mornings reading in the tub and his afternoons at the racetrack, is not all that
he seems. And Ingrid offers the promise of salvation to a man haunted by the
horrors of war, his father's suicide, and the death of a former lover for which
he blames himself. Addicted to risk, Capa must wrestle his devils, including
gambling and drink, and resist an impulse to go off and photograph yet
another war.
Meanwhile, Ingrid, trapped in a passionless marriage and with a sevenyear-old daughter to bring up, must court scandal and risk compromising her
Hollywood career and saintly reputation if their love is to survive. With their
happiness and identities at stake, both Capa and Ingrid are presented with
terrible choices.

Greenhalgh's characters are sharply drawn, in particular the contrast between
Bergman's inner turmoil and the slick celebrity seen by the public. Capas's
self-image is equally conflicted, but together the two conjure a delicious tale of
illicit freedom and, ultimately, thwarted love.
Greenhalgh artfully shuffles the few known facts to create a rich, lyrical novel that
manages their affair without a trace of sentimentality.
Delightful and engrossing. [Greenhalgh] slips with utter authenticity under the

In 1980, a UFO was tracked on military radar in Rendlesham Forest, England.
It landed near two of the most strategically important military bases in
NATO, and was approached by military witnesses who touched the hull. This
explosive new book tells the full story of this incident, which is set to become
better-known than Roswell.
Written by Nick Pope, an international bestselling author and former
government UFO investigator, working closely with John Burroughs and Jim
Penniston, the two officers at the heart of the encounters, Encounter in
Rendlesham Forest reveals the first-hand witnesses' full stories for the first
time and is supported by numerous formerly-classified documents obtained
under the Freedom of Information Act. The inside story of these events and
their aftermath will change people's perceptions about UFOs and about the

A comprehensive and hilarious guide to understanding the

A comprehensive and hilarious guide to understanding the many
Monty Python jokes and allusions
Throughout their five seasons on British television (and well into the troop's
movie sequels and assorted solo projects), Monty Python became a worldwide
symbol not only for taking serious subjects and making them silly, but also for
treating silly subjects seriously.
Monty Python provided a treasure trove of erudite "in" jokes, offering sly
allusions to subjects as diverse as T.S. Elliot's "Murder in the Cathedral" (as
part of a commercial for a weight loss product) and how to conjugate Latin
properly (as explained by a Roman centurion to a Jewish zealot painting
anti-Roman graffiti on a wall). It was this combination of the uniquely
highbrow but silly humor that inspired countless followers (Saturday Night
Live, to name one). This hilarious and helpful guide puts Python's myriad
references into context for the legion of fans, scholars, and pop culture
aficionados that still strive to "get" Monty Python.
PR A I SE
The authors clearly know their Python, and they also know how much the Pythons
themselves knew about virtually everything, up to and including the Spanish
Inquisition.
The authors get the jokes as well as the anger behind many of them...With helpful
books like this one, readers may be more alert to the persistent absurdities of
modern life and to the bracing anarchy preached by Monty Python.
Excellent...The focus on the important bits, the ones that really break the wall
down, is where this work really shines.

All that is left of humanity is on a thousand-year journey to a new planet
aboard one ship, The Noah, which is also carrying a dangerous serial killer...
As a City Planner on the Noah, Hana Dempsey is a gifted psychic,
economist, hacker and bureaucrat and is considered "mission critical." She is
non-replaceable, important, essential, but after serving her mandatory
Breeding Duty, the impregnation and birthing that all women are obligated to
undergo, her life loses purpose as she privately mourns the child she will never
be permitted to know.
When Policeman Leonard Barrens enlists her and her hacking skills in the
unofficial investigation of his mentor's violent death, Dempsey finds herself
increasingly captivated by both the case and Barrens himself. According to
Information Security, the missing man has simply "Retired," nothing unusual.
Together they follow the trail left by the mutilated remains. Their
investigation takes them through lost dataspaces and deep into the
uninhabited regions of the ship, where they discover that the answer may not
be as simple as a serial killer after all.
What they do with that answer will determine the fate of all humanity in

From Paula Brackston, the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch's
Daughter and The Winter Witch, comes a magical tale that is as dark as it is
enchanting. Set in high society Edwardian England, The Midnight Witch is the
story of a young witch who faces the choice between love and loyalty to her
coven…
"The dead are seldom silent. All that is required for them to be heard is that
someone be willing to listen. I have been listening to the dead all my life."
Lady Lilith Montgomery is the daughter of the sixth Duke of Radnor. She is
one of the most beautiful young women in London and engaged to the city's
most eligible bachelor. She is also a witch.
When her father dies, her hapless brother Freddie takes on his title. But it is
Lilith, instructed in the art of necromancy, who inherits their father's role as
Head Witch of the Lazarus Coven. And it is Lilith who must face the threat
of the Sentinels, a powerful group of sorcerers intent on reclaiming the Elixir
from the coven's guardianship for their own dark purposes. Lilith knows the
Lazarus creed: secrecy and silence. To abandon either would put both the
coven and all she holds dear in grave danger. She has spent her life honoring
it, right down to her engagement to her childhood friend and fellow witch,
Viscount Louis Harcourt.

Spain is on the brink of economic collapse and European banks demand that
any bailout be linked to harsh domestic changes. An alliance of Islamic
bankers counters with a rescue package containing no conditions at all. The
underlying goal: to break the unity of Europe and put Madrid on the path
back to Islamic rule.
When the United States stridently opposes that deal, terrorists storm the
American consulate in Barcelona and slaughter an entire six-man U.S. Marine
security guard. Washington decides the time has come to change the rules of
counter-terrorism response, and instead of going after the individual hired
gunmen, it unleashes black operations team Task Force Trident to take down
the high-ranking financiers known as the Group of Six who were really
responsible for the slaughter. Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson, one of the
world's best snipers, and his beautiful sidekick Beth Ledford, go on the attack,
and bodies fall from Mallorca to Madrid.
Meanwhile, Algerian mastermind Yanis Rebiane puts pressure on Spain to
decide before the Group of Six cracks, while his killing-machine son, Djahid
roams the United States, murdering anyone his father deems a threat to the
radical Islamic takeover scheme. Once Swanson's name is unearthed from
secret files, Kyle and Djahid become hunter and prey. In On Scope by Jack

Peter D. Schiff has fully revised and updated his provocative New York Times,
Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller The Real Crash. First published
in 2012, The Real Crash argues that America is enjoying a governmentinflated bubble, one that reality will explode...with disastrous consequences for
the economy and for each of us.
Since 2012, what has happened with our economy? The stock market
continues its illusory gains, the Fed "tapers" while some jobs return, and yet
the fundamental threat to our way of life has only grown worse-- much, much
worse. The United States government nearly defaulted on its debts and the
solution was to raise the debt limit-- to spend yet more money, to go even
deeper in hock to China, and to burden every American with obligations that
are impossible to repay.
With incisive analysis and expert financial understanding, Peter D. Schiff
reveals that the road we're on will lead to an abrupt devaluation of our
currency and a crash that will upend our power, our political system, and our
way of life. This new edition of The Real Crash includes more than 35,000
new words of text, which cover:
-The 2013 government shutdown, the debt crisis, and how the solution only
dug a deeper hole
-The IRS political auditing scandal and why the average American should care
-What will happen when the government stops inflating the stock and real

Reserve and predicted the bubble's inevitable collapse, yet he was ignored by

coming down the road. Peter Schiff is right again. I hope more people listen this

families, the aristocratic Inghams and the Swanns who serve them. Charles
Ingham, the sixth Earl of Mowbray, lives there with his wife Felicity and their
six children. Walter Swann, the premier male of the Swann family, is valet to

families have lived side-by-side, beneath the backdrop of the imposing
Yorkshire manor. Lady Daphne, the most beautiful of the Earl's daughters, is
about to be presented at court when a devastating event changes her life and
threatens the Ingham name. With World War I looming, both families will
find themselves tested in ways they never thought possible. Loyalties will be
challenged and betrayals will be set into motion. In this time of uncertainty,
one thing is sure: these two families will never be the same again.

In Search of Time: The History, Physics, and
Philosophy of Time
1/2010 | 9780312603519
William Shakespeare lived at a remarkable time--a period we now recognize as
the first phase of the Scientific Revolution. New ideas were transforming
Western thought, the medieval was giving way to the modern, and the work
of a few key figures hinted at the brave new world to come: the methodical
and rational Galileo, the skeptical Montaigne, and--as Falk convincingly
argues--Shakespeare, who observed human nature just as intently as the
astronomers who studied the night sky.
In The Science of Shakespeare, we meet a colorful cast of Renaissance
thinkers, including Thomas Digges, who published the first English account of
the "new astronomy" and lived in the same neighborhood as Shakespeare;
Thomas Harriot--"England's Galileo"--who aimed a telescope at the night sky
months ahead of his Italian counterpart; and Danish astronomer Tycho
Brahe, whose observatory-castle stood within sight of Elsinore, chosen by
Shakespeare as the setting for Hamlet--and whose family crest happened to
include the names "Rosencrans" and "Guildensteren." And then there's Galileo
himself: As Falk shows, his telescopic observations may have influenced one
of Shakespeare's final works.
Dan Falk's The Science of Shakespeare explores the connections between the
famous playwright and the beginnings of the Scientific Revolution--and how,
together, they changed the world forever.

Charlotte and Emily: A Novel of the Brontës
4/2010 | 9780312642730
There are so few established facts about how the son of a glove maker from
Warwickshire became one of the greatest writers of all time that some people
doubt he could really have written so many astonishing plays. We know that
he married Anne Hathaway, who was pregnant and six years older than he, at
the age of eighteen, and that one of their children died of the plague. We
know that he left Stratford to seek his fortune in London, and eventually
succeeded. He was clearly an unwilling craftsman, ambitious actor, resentful
son, almost good-enough husband. But when and how did he also become a
genius?
The Secret Life of William Shakespeare pulls back the curtain to imagine what
it might have really been like to be Shakespeare before a seemingly ordinary
man became a legend. In the hands of acclaimed historical novelist Jude
Morgan, this is a brilliantly convincing story of unforgettable richness,
warmth, and immediacy.
PR A I SE
It's hard to imagine a better historical novel about the Bard than this one; in
quality and power, it rivals Hilary Mantel's justly acclaimed books (Wolf Hall;
Bring Up the Bodies) about Thomas Cromwell....Morgan's novel will stimulate the

Morgan's previous works include Emily and Charlotte, a novel about the Brontë sisters; An
Accomplished Woman; Symphony; Indiscretion; and Passion, which was called "one of the
best books of 2005" by The Washington Post Book World; and most recently A Little Folly.

Jake Buckman's relationship with his sixteen-year-old son Ryan is not an easy
one, so at the urging of his loving wife, Pam, Jake goes alone to pick up Ryan
at their suburban movie theater. On the way home, Ryan asks to drive on a
deserted road, and Jake sees it as a chance to make a connection. However,
what starts as a father-son bonding opportunity instantly turns into a
nightmare. Tragedy strikes, and with Ryan's entire future hanging in the
balance, Jake is forced to make a split-second decision that plunges them both
into a world of guilt and lies. Without ever meaning to, Jake and Ryan find
themselves living under the crushing weight of their secret, which threatens to
tear their family to shreds and ruin them all.

The automobile has arguably shaped the modern era more profoundly than
any other human invention, and author Steven Parissien examines the
impact, development, and significance of the automobile over its turbulent
and colorful 130-year history. Readers learn the grand and turbulent history
of the motor car, from its earliest appearance in the 1880s--as little more
than a powered quadricycle--and the innovations of the early pioneer
carmakers. The author examines the advances of the interwar era, the Golden
Age of the 1950s, and the iconic years of the 1960s to the decades of doubt
and uncertainty following the oil crisis of 1973, the global mergers of the
1990s, the bailouts of the early twenty-first century, and the emergence of
the electric car.
This is not just a story of horsepower and performance but a tale of
extraordinary people: of intuitive carmakers such as Karl Benz, Sir Henry
Royce, Giovanni Agnelli (Fiat), André Citroën, and Louis Renault; of
exceptionally gifted designers such as the eccentric, Ohio-born Chris Bangle
(BMW); and of visionary industrialists such as Henry Ford, Ferdinand Porsche
(the Volkswagen Beetle), and Gene Bordinat (the Ford Mustang), among
numerous other game changers.
Above all, this comprehensive history demonstrates how the epic story of the
car mirrors the history of the modern era, from the brave hopes and soari...

Over the next three decades, the aging populations in America, Europe, and
Japan will begin to threaten our way of life. The ever-increasing pool of
retirees will burden relatively diminished workforces, slowing the pace of
growth and straining public and private finances. In stark contrast, the
emerging economies---India, Brazil, and China prominent among
them---enjoy the benefits of large, youthful, and eager workforces, and will do
so for years to come. As seasoned economist Milton Ezrati argues, these
demographic differences will set the economic and financial tone for the next
three decades or more.
But the author argues the future is nonetheless brighter than the media
forecasting will have you believe. We can survive---and even thrive---in the
face of challenges that force radical change on our workforce. America has
the capacity to lead the globe in making needed reforms, including increasing
the participation of women in the workplace, creating generally longer
working lives, changing what and how economies produce, and much more.
Ezrati's book will be a game changer for investors, owners of businesses both
big and small, and for anyone else interested in prediction of what the future
holds.

In 1860, Alexander Ferguson, a newly ordained vicar and amateur
evolutionary scientist, takes up his new parish, a poor, isolated patch on the
remote Scottish island of Harris. He hopes to uncover the truth behind the
legend of the selkies--mermaids or seal people who have been sighted off the
north of Scotland for centuries. He has a more personal motive, too; family
legend states that Alexander is descended from seal men. As he struggles to be
the good pastor he was called to be, his maid Moira faces the terrible eviction
of her family by Lord Marstone, whose family owns the island. Their time on
the island will irrevocably change the course of both their lives, but the white
house on the edge of the dunes keeps its silence long after they are gone.
It will be more than a century before the Sea House reluctantly gives up its
secrets. Ruth and Michael buy the grand but dilapidated building and begin to
turn it into a home for the family they hope to have. Their dreams are
marred by a shocking discovery. The tiny bones of a baby are buried beneath
the house; the child's fragile legs are fused together--a mermaid child. Who
buried the bones? And why? To heal her own demons, Ruth feels she must

Catherine Ling is one of the CIA's most prized operatives. Raised on the
unforgiving streets of Hong Kong, she was pulled into the agency at the age
of fourteen, already having accumulated more insight and secrets than the
most seasoned professionals in her world. If life has taught her anything, it is
not to get attached, but there are two exceptions to that rule: her son Luke
and her mentor Hu Chang. When Luke was kidnapped at the age of two, it
nearly broke her. Now, nine years later, her son has astonishingly been
returned to her and Catherine vows never to fail him again. But when her job
pulls her away from home, she relies on the brilliant and deadly Hu Chang to
safeguard Luke in her absence. Now Erin Sullivan, an American journalist with

Freeman is a genius with an uncommon mixture of memory, intelligence and
creativity. He lives in a worldwide utopia, but it was not always so. There was
a time known as the Grind--when Freeman's people lived as slaves to another
race referred to simply as "Master." They were property. But a civil rights
movement emerged. Change seemed near, but the Masters refused to bend.
Instead, they declared war.
And lost.
Now, the freed world is threatened by a virus, spread through bites, sweeping
through the population. Those infected are propelled to violence, driven to
disperse the virus. Uniquely suited to respond to this new threat, Freeman
searches for a cure, but instead finds the source--the Masters, intent on
reclaiming the world. Freeman must fight for his life, for his friends and for
the truth, which is far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined.
Robinson's lightning fast, cutting-edge novels have won over thriller, horror,
science-fiction and action/adventure fans alike, and he has received high

When Ross Buchanan is forced to resign as chairman of the Barrington
Shipping Company, Emma Clifton wants to replace him. But Don Pedro
Martinez intends to install his puppet, the egregious Major Alex Fisher, in
order to destroy the Barrington family firm just as the company plans to build
its new luxury liner, the MV Buckingham.

never make it in Hollywood, encouraged by her family with inspiring
questions like, "when are you getting a real job?" and has not only survived
but thrived as a result. Despite her struggles and setbacks, Jenni has gone from
a "wannabe" aspiring actress and comedian to becoming one of Bravo's most
beloved personalities.
With hilarious reality meets insanity anecdotes from her life and career, Jenni
writes candidly on how to go from victim to victor . . . most of the time. Her
book is more of an advice how-not-to story that includes:
Jenni’s top ten tested and proven ways to fail forward
How she turned her negative self-talk into positive self-beliefs
How Jenni handles people who didn't want her to succeed
How she stopped fretting over things she didn't have control over
How she found her self-worth and finally found the love she never
thought she’d have
Grin and Bear It is the spark we all need to ignite our passion, to get out
there and be positive, find the funny in life, to be present, and learn how to be
happy no matter what reality throws your way.

"Pulos, of Bravo’s reality series Flipping Out, charms in this frank and
self-deprecating cross between memoir and how-not-to guide....She isn’t shy about
revealing her personal life—like the breakup of her first marriage on national TV
or a humiliating encounter with a negative former teacher while working at a
grocery store—which only serves to make her more appealing and relatable. Pulos’s
central message in this encouraging volume is one that anyone would be smart to
heed: when you’re going through hell, keep on going, because everything works
out in the end. "--Publishers Weekly

This book pays tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela with a unique collection
of photographs from throughout his life. Mandela has become a household
name, respected by everyone everywhere, from grandmothers to
schoolchildren.
Not so many people would recognize his other names, and he is a man who
has been known by many names throughout his life. Nelson Rolihlahla
Dalibhunga Mandela came from what most people would regard as a poor
background, yet his family were aristocrats among the Xhosa people of the
Transkei in South Africa. From the time he was a boy he was destined, as his
father before him had been, to become an advisor at the court of the Xhosa
king, but no one could have predicted that young Rolihlahla would one day
become an outlaw known as "The Black Pimpernel" or a statesman of
international standing--President Mandela.

From Africa to Asia to the Americas, women are the key to progress on
ending poverty, violence, and conflict. Award-winning humanitarian and
journalist Sally Armstrong shows us why empowering women and girls is the
way forward, and she introduces us to the leading females who are making
change happen, from Nobel Prize winners to little girls suing from justice.
Uprising tells dramatic and empowering stories of change-makers and
examines the stunning courage, tenacity and wit they are using to alter the
status quo. From mud-brick houses in Afghanistan to the forests of Congo,
where women still hide from their attackers, to a shelter in northern Kenya,
where 160 girls between 3 and 17 have won an historic court case against a
government who did not protect them from rape, to Pakistan, where Malala
Yousafzai is fighting for the rights of women everywhere, Uprising is about
the final frontier for women: having control over your own body, whether in
zones of conflict, in rural villages, on university campuses or in your own
kitchen. In this landmark book that ties together feminism and our global
economy, Sally Armstrong brings us the voices of the women all over the
world whose bravery and strength is changing the world as we know it.

James Gandolfini: The Real Life of the Man Who Made Tony Soprano is the
first biography of the actor who died, in June 2013 at age 51, widely
recognized as one of the best--and most defining--actors of his generation.
The book is informed by fresh interviews with Sopranos actors, the star's
acting teachers and coaches, his childhood friends, buddies from his days as a
nightclub bouncer, and Hollywood figures including the directors of his
posthumously released films.
Bischoff decodes Gandolfini's portrayal of mobsters and bad guys from his
breakout role in True Romance with Patricia Arquette to the television series
role that made his career, and his portrayals of real people like Leon Panetta
in Zero Dark Thirty. Gandolfini's personal life--from his marriages and family
interactions to his deep friendships with his fellow cast members--enriches
and enlivens this book, and deepens our understanding of the star.
James Gandolfini: The Real Life of the Man Who Made Tony Soprano is a
fascinating look at Gandolfini's complicated relationship to his roots, to the
role that made him wealthy beyond his imagination, and to American notions
of masculinity, power and fame. Even as he scaled the heights of his
profession, creating a TV character as vivid as Carroll O'Connor's Archie
Bunker and as volcanic as Marlon Brando's Stanley Kowalski, Gandolfini
remained a reluctant celebrity dedicated more to his craft than to his career.

The Walking Dead original novel series, set in the universe of Robert
Kirkman's iconic comic book, comes to a shattering conclusion with The Fall
of the Governor - Part Two. From co-authors Kirkman, creator of the Eisner
Award-winning comic as well as executive producer of AMC's blockbuster TV
series, and Jay Bonansinga, Stoker Award-finalist and internationally
acclaimed author, comes this stunning finale to their ambitious chronicle of
human survival amid the plague of undead, which began with The Walking
Dead: Rise of the Governor.
In Rise of the Governor, uber-villain Philip Blake journeyed from his humble
beginnings directly into the dark heart of the zombie apocalypse, and became
the self-proclaimed leader of a small town called Woodbury. In The Road to
Woodbury, an innocent traveler named Lilly Caul wound up in the terrifying
thrall of Phillip Blake's twisted, violent dictatorship within Woodbury's ever
tightening barricades. In The Fall of the Governor - Part One, Philip Blake
finally revealed himself to be the true monster that he is, and the battle lines
were drawn between the Governor and the desperate, beleaguered inhabitants
of a nearby prison.
Now, in The Fall of the Governor Part Two, the Governor's dark journey
reaches its shocking, heartrending conclusion. In a roller coast...

"The novel fleshes out . . . backstories and connects them, giving depth to people
who remained largely mysteries in the comic books. For comic book readers, the
novel is full of easter eggs and surprise connections, making it not only
entertaining, but necessarily for filling in the gaps left by the comic books . . .
