Book Description
They say flying is the safest way to travel. Clearly whoever said that has never traveled with a mad scientist in custody. After finding, and apprehending, his absentee father, Alex Cheradon and his team are ready for their flight back home to Clayton City. One six hour nonstop flight from Las Vegas and then everything’s back to normal. Except that this isn’t an ordinary flight. And Charles Cheradon isn’t an ordinary scientist. Hence the ‘mad’ label. And Devon Christian…Well, obviously he’s not normal. That just goes without saying. And Alex Cheradon has an excellent track record for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. This flight isn’t going to be any different. Trapped on a flight that feels like it’s going nowhere, Alex finds himself worrying about his crazy partner, having to go head-to head-with a terrorist and, worst of all, dealing with a deadbeat dad who just wants to have a heart-to-heart with his son.

Tomorrow They Won't Dare to Murder Us
Author: Joseph Andras
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1788738721
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Lyrical and radical, a debut novel that created a sensation in France Winner of the Prix Goncourt for first novel, one of the most prestigious literary awards in France A young revolutionary plants a bomb in a factory on the outskirts of Algiers during the Algerian War. The bomb is timed to explode after work hours, so no one will be hurt. But the authorities have been watching. He is caught, the bomb is defused, and he is tortured, tried in a day, condemned to death, and thrown into a cell to await the guillotine. A routine event, perhaps, in a brutal conflict that ended the lives of more than a million Muslim Algerians. But what if the militant is a “pied-noir”? What if his lover was a member of the French Resistance? What happens to a “European” who chooses the side of anti-colonialism? By turns lyrical, meditative, and heart-stoppingly suspenseful, this novel by Joseph Andras, based on a true story, was a literary and political sensation in France, winning the Prix Goncourt for First Novel and being acclaimed by Le Monde as “vibrantly lyrical and somber” and by the journal La Croix as a “masterpiece”.

So Long, See You Tomorrow
Author: William Maxwell
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 030778987X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
In this magically evocative novel, William Maxwell explores the enigmatic gravity of the past, which compels us to keep explaining it even as it makes liars out of us every time we try. On a winter morning in the 1920s, a shot rings out on a farm in rural Illinois. A man named Lloyd Wilson has been killed. And the tenuous friendship between two lonely teenagers—one privileged yet neglected, the other a troubled farm boy—has been shattered. Fifty years later, one of those boys—now a grown man—tries to reconstruct the events that led up to the murder. In doing so, he is inevitably drawn back to his lost friend Cletus, who has the misfortune of being the son of Wilson's killer and who in the months before witnessed things that Maxwell's narrator can only guess at. Out of memory and imagination, the surmises of children and the destructive passions of their parents, Maxwell creates a luminous American classic of youth and loss.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This “superbly written true-crime story” (The New York Times Book Review) masterfully brings together the tales of a serial killer in 1970s Alabama and of Harper Lee, the beloved author of To Kill a Mockingbird, who tried to write his story. Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members, but with the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative assassinated him at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the reverend himself. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante’s trial was Harper Lee, who spent a year in town reporting on the Maxwell case and many more trying to finish the book she called The Reverend. Cep brings this remarkable story to life, from the horrifying murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South, while offering a deeply moving portrait of one of our most revered writers.
