Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Madcap Cruise "It strikes me," said Jerrold Taberman, "that we are booked for everlasting fame, win or lose. We'll either sail down the ages as a brace of heroes, or as the most egregious pair of donkeys that ever botched a job." "Well, Jerry," returned his companion, smiling, "you've as much to do with making the thing a success as I have. I hope you realize the responsibility." The young men chuckled in concert at the thought of all that was involved in this remark, although they looked, not at each other, but out over the sea. It was early twilight in the last week of the month of May. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They are both in their early twenties and that is all they share in common, for everything else about them is as different as it could be.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gates of the Caribbean: The Story of a Great White Fleet Caribbean Cruise It is one of the compensations of modern life that a voyage is no longer, as the ironic French peasant was accustomed to describe it, "a little death." So far indeed have we come from the times when a traveler was looked upon as a creature of mysterious mental moods, strangely afflicted with a desire to go somewhere, that the possession of a wardrobe trunk is now of no more significance than a camera or a bag of golf clubs. It is indeed the thing to do, not so much from the selfish motive of improving one's mind, as for the finer fancy of seeing what the world is like and, speaking internationally, calling on the neighbors. But going south, heading for one of the Gates of that alluring congeries of romance and modernity we call the Caribbean, our emotions have certain special qualities apart from those engendered by any ordinary trip abroad. Without entering into a lengthy disquisition as to the merits of our educational system, it must be conceded that when we speak of foreign parts we think readily of Europe, just as the Englishman, when America is mentioned, thinks at once of the United States. And so when we start southward, embarked at length upon our expedition to what we may conveniently call Latin-America, we have, quite possibly, a new curiosity, a vague notion of doing something romantic, and behind that, a few fantastic illusions as to where we are going and what we are about to see. And it is to be noted at the outset that the enterprise is carried out under the more or less normal conditions of a comfortable human existence. It may conduce to the happiness of some to become microscopic units in a vessel so enormous that one may cross the ocean in it without ever seeing it, or spend many hours losing one's way in its interminable corridors. On the other hand, it is in accordance with average temperaments to find this vessel of ours, just and gracile in her modelling, spacious and modestly beautiful in her garnitures, an adequate substitute for the houses and country clubs we have left amid the wintery landscape at home. That same wintery landscape, however, will be already receding by the time we have adjusted our personalities to the novel environment of shipboard life. It is a favorite recreation of witty folk to make disparaging remarks concerning the habits of those who travel by sea.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling novelist Jennifer Crusie combines fast-paced banter, sexy situations, and unforgettable characters in this delightful romance about two reluctant lovers who couldn’t be more wrong about being right for each other. TRUST ME ON THIS Dennie Banks is an investigative reporter chasing down the biggest story of her career. Alec Prentice is a government agent working undercover to catch an elusive grifter. When they meet by accident, it’s a case of mistaken identities at first sight. What they don’t mistake is the instant attraction they have for each other, an attraction they’ll do everything in their power to resist—because Dennie thinks that Alec is running interference for her interview subject, and Alec suspects that Dennie is linked to his swindler. As the confusion grows, so do their feelings for each other, and what begins as a romantic comedy of errors may just end in the love affair of a lifetime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming as an Apple Original series from Ted Lasso Executive Producer Bill Lawrence and starring Vince Vaughn • A wickedly funny novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what’s left of pristine Florida—now, of the Bahamas as well—get their comeuppance. “[A] comedic marvel … [Hiaasen] hasn’t written a novel this funny since Skinny Dip.”—The New York Times Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff’s office—has a human arm in his freezer. There’s a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it’s not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first—this being Hiaasen country—Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy’s new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen’s greatest characters.
