Malraux and the Midnight Organ Fight is a fast-paced, frenetic YA thriller that falls somewhere between Sherlock Holmes, "Rick & Morty" and the first Frightened Rabbit album. The book is about two teen detectives named Weston and Malraux who are trying to solve a series of grisly murders one summer in San Francisco. After a nasty spat between the boys breaks up their world famous Bohemia Solutions detective agency, Weston accepts a full-ride tennis scholarship to Harvard and leaves behind the idiosyncratic Malraux, who was always the true genius behind the duo's success. While Weston labors at Harvard, he loses touch completely with Malraux, who not only refuses to respond to his imploring letters, but his anti-technology policy-no phones, no computers-makes him virtually unreachable. Rumored by his online fans to have been spotted in France, Spain, Iceland, Tanzania and at Coachella, Bohemia Solutions' Instagram feed (@bohemiasolutions) is continually jammed with purported Malraux sightings: (#malrauxkickingitinparis, #malrauxinmadrid) and opinions about the future of the agency (#whoneedsweston). But when Weston returns from college to find that the owner of his favorite café' has been murdered he also finds that the carnage is only just beginning. Soon the news reports a killer on the loose and a rising body count; even grimmer is the bodies are found minus several of their vital organs. Wanting to solve the crime, Weston tracks down the mercurial Malraux in hopes of convincing him to reopen the agency for the summer and solve the murders that are plaguing their city. The two teens agree to put their differences aside and set to solving this disturbing mystery before the police beat them to it. …and before Weston heads back to college. Malraux's unconventional sleuthing leads the reunited duo into darker and stranger places than they've ever been before. There are back alley midnight surgeries, thrash metal ninjas, devious doctors, bodies in suitcases, black market organ rings, aimless tech start-ups, tween fanboys, shirtless motivational speakers, and a muscle-bound Russian who wears a black leather bird mask and wields a deadly cleaver. There's also a girl named Eloise who writes for Pitchfork that both boys may be in love with. In between all the dark mayhem, is a philosophical meditation on the mysteries of friendship and love, and a lesson about how to come through when it really counts.

Visitors often just pass through Newborough on the way to the Forestry Commission reserve at Newborough Warren, and the adjacent beach, without considering the rich history of this small village.While Llanddwyn Island with its connection with the Welsh Valentine, and its rich maritime history is indeed worthy of interest, the history of the village itself include a well-preserved medieval princely residence, a medieval "new town", and 18th century political intrigues, when Newborough challenged Beaumaris's domination over Anglesey. A centrepiece of the village is a community centre and almshouses, the gift of a successful businessman to his native village.

Publishers Weekly says Like No Other Boy "finds true beauty in the moving love of fathers for sons" in this emotional tale of a single father fighting for the happiness of his autistic child.Chris Crutcher has lost nearly everything. His divorce--the "uncivil war" as he calls it--started the downward spiral two years ago, and although he has remained strong, life threatens to take the only thing that truly matters to him. As his job opportunities dwindle, his ex-wife leaves him with nothing but a stack of child support bills and a lawsuit for full custody. If Chris wins the battle, he gets to keep the only person in the world who matters to him: his 8-year old autistic son, Tommy, who finds happiness only in his love for the chimps at a local primatology research center in sunny San Diego. If Chris loses the battle, his ex-wife will tear their son away and transplant him in Houston, far from his father and the chimpanzees he has learned to love.With beautifully insightful interior narration, Like No Other Boy is equal parts tortured and heartwarming, showing the full spectrum of the fatherhood experience: successes, failures, dreams, and fears. By weaving in scientific concepts about communication barriers, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and humans' connections to animals, author Larry Center has created an optimistic fictional story perfect for adult audiences. Whether they are simply compassionate individuals with curious minds or the parents of children with developmental delays, readers are sure to feel the joys and pains of both Chris Crutcher and his one-of-a-kind son.Click "Add to Cart" for a heartfelt read.
Thriller… Love Story… Sparks will fly. Recently paroled, heroic but rootless, Neal Carver is traveling the western states on a vintage motorcycle, a legacy from another drifter -- his father. But Neal Carver's road trip goes spectacularly wrong when the bike is stolen by a murderous couple, and in his hellbent quest to regain it, he's struck by lightning while crossing the badlands.

With the terrifying couple in pursuit, Neal and Jed arrive at the ranch of Simone Smith, a solitary young woman obsessed with completing a monumental piece of land art, work that is both keeping her alive and killing her. Set against the vast landscape of New Mexico and the thunderstorms of late summer, these three outsiders will unite for survival, and come to understand through the boy's perceptions how the unseen current that runs through the world has wired their lives together. In fleeing the violent past, the future may hold second chances, the finding of family, and the healing of wounds through the power of love.
As far as we know, this is the only surviving full-length memoir by an Indian Prisoner of War of the Japanese of an important but mostly hidden story of World War II: how Indian soldiers in the British Indian Army became Prisoners of War and were shipped by their Japanese captors in "torture ships" to New Britain and New Guinea, and how a fraction of them, including the author, survived 3 1/2 years of horrific imprisonment, beatings, starvation, bombings--and in a few cases, being made a meal of--and more to return home to India.It also offers some clues as to why tens of thousands of Indian Army personnel preferred to be prisoners of war of the Japanese, risking death and torture, rather than join the Japanese-inspired and managed Indian National Army, which promised better treatment by the Japanese.John Baptist Crasta's story, written shortly after the war, was published 51 years later, when he was 87 years old (2 years before his death), by his son, who had only recently discovered the manuscript. Indeed, it was by reading his father's memoir that the son not only discovered his father; but decided to do all he could to make the world know about it. This book contains not just the father's memoir, but the son's essays about rediscovering his father and his feelings about the memoir. The book has moved senior Indian army officers to tears, and is now slowly becoming a source for histories of the period."A classic in military history, telling the story of men trapped in a world of torture, starvation, and death"-Roger Mansell, War historian, in Tameme Magazine"You see the horror of war, without a trace of artifice, through the eyes of one who was there, the writing a simple act of catharsis. A war memoir that ranks with the best."-Professor Mark Ledbetter, Nisei University"Striking and raw, an antidote to myth. Something to be treasured. This is the kind of record that this generation is losing fast, and we need to hold on to this. It made me think of what had happened to my own father's memoirs, which were lost."--Professor Barry Fruchter."More than any book in recent memory, Eaten by the Japanese drives home the lasting effects of enforced captivity - not only on the bodies but also on the minds of the prisoners... it is a book about kindness, solidarity, and collective survival, about the bonds that matter: those between one single human being and another. It is truly a testimony to truth." -Barry Fruchter, Ph.D., Professor, Nassau Community College, New York
Hebrews 11:16 "But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them." The New Jerusalem is the city of God. God Himself has both designed it and He has built it. And so, as God is perfect, so the city that He has built is also perfect. In the above passage of scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that from its foundations to its pinnacle, the builder and maker of the heavenly city, is God Himself. That same passage says that God has (past tense) prepared the city for us. In other words, even though the new heavens and the new earth have not yet been created, nevertheless God has already completed the city of the New Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem is currently being reserved in heaven, for the saints. This book examines what the bible teaches us about the events that will take place after the Millennial reign of Christ.
