Book excerpt: Taken By The Wind Charlotte Boyett-Compo Brenna Collins shouldn't have worked late that night. She was exhausted, had the migraine from hell slamming inside her head, and she was nowhere near being finished. While sitting alone at her desk, she hears what she realizes is gunfire in the hallway beyond her office. Going out to investigate when she believes the coast is clear, she finds her boss with a bullet hole between his eyes. If that isn't enough to scare Brenna's migraine away, a man shouting at her, chasing her to the elevator should be. Trapped in the elevator as the door tries to close, she finds herself looking into the eyes of the murderer-a man with killer good looks and a gun pointed straight at her heart. What begins is a complex cat and mouse game that has Brenna running for her life to Florida, to Georgia, to Upstate New York-all the while being pursued by a relentless killer who refuses to let her escape him. A master of disguise-so good even his mother wouldn't recognize him-the Gemini Killer will catch up to Brenna many times and he will make sure she never forgets him.

Book excerpt: A classic work of American theatre, based on the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, which pitted Clarence Darrow against William Jennings Bryan in defense of a schoolteacher accused of teaching the theory of evolution The accused was a slight, frightened man who had deliberately broken the law. His trial was a Roman circus. The chief gladiators were two great legal giants of the century. Like two bull elephants locked in mortal combat, they bellowed and roared imprecations and abuse. The spectators sat uneasily in the sweltering heat with murder in their hearts, barely able to restrain themselves. At stake was the freedom of every American. One of the most moving and meaningful plays of our generation. Praise for Inherit the Wind "A tidal wave of a drama."—New York World-Telegram And Sun “Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee were classic Broadway scribes who knew how to crank out serious plays for thinking Americans. . . . Inherit the Wind is a perpetually prescient courtroom battle over the legality of teaching evolution. . . . We’re still arguing this case–all the way to the White House.”—Chicago Tribune “Powerful . . . a crackling good courtroom play . . . [that] provides two of the juiciest roles in American theater.”—Copley News Service “[This] historical drama . . . deserves respect.”—The Columbus Dispatch

R. Martin • “Rothfuss has real talent.” —Terry Brooks OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD! DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND My name is Kvothe. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me. So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature—the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man’s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.
