After the Fall

"One hundred and twenty years after The Fall, and a hundred years after the grays swept in to pick the last dregs of humanity, John has found himself bonded to Martok Barden nee Black Hand, one of the 'good' grays. Sure, Martok is broke, homeless, and borderline manic, but he’s always treated John like an actual person, and sometimes like a friend. But when Martok puts John’s bond up as collateral against a house in the woods that he hopes to turn into a wilderness retreat for wealthy grays, John learns that there are limits to Martok’s friendship. Soon he finds himself caught between an underworld boss, a girl raised by feral humans who has nothing but contempt for John, and Martok himself, whose delusions of grandeur seem to be finally catching up with him. Oh, and something in the woods has been killing people. John has sixty days to buy back his life before Martok’s loan comes due, all while avoiding getting butchered by feral humans, killed by the thing in the woods or having his head crushed by an angry gray.

What Do You Do When You're Lonesome: The Authorized Biography of Justin Townes Earle

"A Rolling Stone journalist presents the story of the late singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle. When Justin Townes Earle died of an overdose alone in his Nashville apartment, his death sent waves of grief through the country-Americana music community. The son of alt-country hellraiser Steve Earle had long struggled with mental illness and various addictions. There had been encouraging periods of long-term sobriety and active recovery in his adult life, including the years that led up to his career peak when he released the 2010 masterpiece Harlem River Blues, a career-making album of rambling folk blues set to Southern Gospel. He sang of cramped Brooklyn apartments and crippling hangovers, about emotional displacement, economic anxiety, and the wandering that characterized his feral, formative years as a rootless kid rambling around Nashville, developing his own unique guitar style and absorbing the musical influences that surrounded him. He was anointed by critics as the next coming of the authentic troubadour. By the time of his death, he'd recorded and released eight albums, creating a striking and original body of work. Jonathan Bernstein, with the full cooperation of the Justin Townes Earle estate, unravels in these pages a short but incredibly creative life, and reveals the backstories behind Justin's greatest songs ("Mama's Eyes," "White Gardenias") and what happened when it all fell apart while also capturing a shadow world of the neglected children of Nashville legends who wrestle with the legacies of their hard-living, road-weary, often absent parents. Justin's journey to near-stardom is a harrowing story shot through with moments of clarity and promise, including his marriage to his wife Jenn Marie Earle and the birth of their daughter. But what Earle called "the myth"-the idea that one must suffer for one's art-proved to be too powerful. This heartbreaking, deeply researched tale is an exemplary music biography."

Veil

"“The voice in Veil is as present, strong, charming, singular, and desperate as any I’ve read. The story of a family man who will stop at nothing to protect those he loves. Even if those threats are beyond sanity, reason, and a once agreed upon reality. Janz has written another absolute gem of the genre.” —Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box From beloved horror author Jonathan Janz, Veil is a heart-stopping story of one father who will stop at nothing to save his family. It begins at night. People vanish from parks and city streets. Then in broad daylight, they’re dragged screaming into the woods, into the water, into the sky. People take refuge in their homes, but still the invisible creatures come, ripping people away from their horrorstruck loved ones. Spouses. Parents. Children. Nowhere is safe and no defense can stop them. Because nothing can save you from what you can’t see. High school teacher John Calhoun loses his son the first night. A day later, they take his wife. For two months, he and his thirteen-year-old daughter manage to survive, but in the end, she is abducted too. In John’s darkest moment, he meets a motley group of survivors who have a secret: a near-fatal car accident has given one of them the ability to detect what normal human eyesight cannot. The survivors believe they can replicate the brain injury that will enable them to see the creatures. To discover how they’re invading our world. To fight them. Desperate to save his family, John volunteers. And after the veil of invisibility is lifted, he and his new friends will risk everything to achieve the impossible: enter an alien world and bring their loved ones back."

Spine of the Hindu Kush

"Extrajudicial–adj.–done in contravention of due process of law. The Warlock. He is unseen and anonymous. A covert agent in charge of a program designed to disrupt one of the most dangerous alliances in the history of the world. Although the black budgets fund his work, no American authority has issued his orders or given him permission to act. He simply does what he must. With Russia and China pulling the strings for the rest of their partners in Iran, Turkey, and North Korea, the Warlock's mission is all too clear. Conduct preemptive operations against economic targets. Cripple America's enemy, not by direct action, but by removing their ability to travel, talk, and trade. As the Warlock pushes against the Alliance, a series of well-orchestrated deceptions puts China at Russia's throat, while the Russians accuse their allies in Turkey of foul play. If the operation hits hard, the Alliance crumbles, and no one suspects the Warlock was ever in play. For the readers of Mark Sibley's Mongol Moon world, there is a parallel universe in which the Warlock keeps America's enemies at bay."
