Book excerpt: When a fellow agent inexplicably vanishes during a standard observation assignment in Morocco, the San Martín brothers are pulled, yet again, into a dark underworld of organized crime, drugs, and global intrigue. But in the seventh installment of Bonnie Ridley Kraft’s stunning suspense-thriller series, the stakes are higher than ever for covert operative Raúl San Martín, as the six-year-old boy he has come to love as a son is inadvertently dragged into a shocking morass of international corruption, underground rebellion, ethnic persecution, and ever-shifting allegiances. Raúl is left with no choice but to step back into a life he thought he had left behind. Slipping effortlessly into his old undercover role of a capriciously violent drug trafficker, Raúl races to disentangle the complicated web that connects the illicit activities of a Spanish drug lord, the fight for survival waged by an indigenous people against an oppressive government, and the disappearance of a missing agent who just might hold the key to the secrets Raúl is desperately seeking to unravel.

Book excerpt: While violence runs rampant throughout New York, a teenage girl faces danger within her own home in Meg Medina's riveting coming-of-age novel. Nora Lopez is seventeen during the infamous New York summer of 1977, when the city is besieged by arson, a massive blackout, and a serial killer named Son of Sam who shoots young women on the streets. Nora’s family life isn’t going so well either: her bullying brother, Hector, is growing more threatening by the day, her mother is helpless and falling behind on the rent, and her father calls only on holidays. All Nora wants is to turn eighteen and be on her own. And while there is a cute new guy who started working with her at the deli, is dating even worth the risk when the killer likes picking off couples who stay out too late? Award-winning author Meg Medina transports us to a time when New York seemed balanced on a knife-edge, with tempers and temperatures running high, to share the story of a young woman who discovers that the greatest dangers are often closer than we like to admit — and the hardest to accept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunting, an obsession, a calling: Tim Z. Hernandez has been searching for people his whole life. Now, in this highly anticipated memoir, he takes us along on an investigative odyssey through personal and collective history to uncover the surprising conjunctions that bind our stories together. Hernandez’s mission to find the families of the twenty-eight Mexicans who were killed in the 1948 plane wreck at Los Gatos Canyon formed the basis for his acclaimed documentary novel All They Will Call You, which the San Francisco Chronicle dubbed “a stunning piece of investigative journalism,” and the New York Times hailed as “painstaking detective work by a writer who is the descendant of farmworkers.” In this riveting new work, Hernandez continues his search for the plane crash victims while also turning the lens on himself and his ancestral past, revealing the tumultuous and deeply intimate experiences that have fueled his investigations—a lifelong journey haunted by memory, addiction, generational trauma, and the spirit world. They Call You Back is the true chronicle of one man’s obsession to restore dignity to an undignified chapter in America’s past, while at the same time making a case for why we must heal our personal wounds if we are ever to heal our political ones.

Book excerpt: From a New York Times bestselling author, and the inspiration for the #1 Netflix show The Lincoln Lawyer, defense attorney Mickey Haller is forced to bend the law until it breaks when he's hired to defend a man accused of killing a prostitute in this suspenseful novel, the "best one yet" (The Washington Post). Mickey Haller gets the text, "Call me ASAP - 187," and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game. When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger. Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why "Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense" (Los Angeles Times).

Book excerpt: The Red Umbrella is a moving tale of a 14-year-old girl's journey from Cuba to America as part of Operation Pedro Pan—an organized exodus of more than 14,000 unaccompanied children, whose parents sent them away to escape Fidel Castro's revolution. In 1961, two years after the Communist revolution, Lucía Álvarez still leads a carefree life, dreaming of parties and her first crush. But when the soldiers come to her sleepy Cuban town, everything begins to change. Freedoms are stripped away. Neighbors disappear. And soon, Lucía's parents make the heart-wrenching decision to send her and her little brother to the United States—on their own. Suddenly plunked down in Nebraska with well-meaning strangers, Lucía struggles to adapt to a new country, a new language, a new way of life. But what of her old life? Will she ever see her home or her parents again? And if she does, will she still be the same girl? The Red Umbrella is a touching story of country, culture, family, and the true meaning of home. “Captures the fervor, uncertainty and fear of the times. . . . Compelling.” –The Washington Post “Gonzalez deals effectively with separation, culture shock, homesickness, uncertainty and identity as she captures what is also a grand adventure.” –San Francisco Chronicle

Book excerpt: A Carthaginian named Hannibal Barca lived between about 247 and 183 BC, the product of a military father and a mother of completely unknown qualities other than what can be imputed through her son. Before he died, presumably by suicide in Roman/Carthaginian enforced exile, he brought Rome to her knees in a virtually one man crusade started by his father. Rome got off her knees largely because this man—without timely support from his own country, and under probably unparalleled assault by adversities of fate—had exhausted his strength. The unassailable facts of Hannibal’s life are few. He is said to have been handsome, of the Hellenistic prince mode, a great general by the standards of any age, and he could turn this competence toward peaceful arenas when Carthage called him again. Perhaps his deadly enemies, the Romans, gave him the ultimate compliment. The emperor Septimus Severus is said to have erected a large monument to him at Libyssa, the little town near Marmara’s water where the Lady Barca’s oldest boy decided to make his last summation. This historical fiction is dedicated to understanding a citizen of Carthage who came very close to moving his world.

Book excerpt: Bum Rush the Page is a groundbreaking collection, capturing the best new work from the poets who have brought fresh energy, life, and relevance to American poetry. “Here is a democratic orchestration of voices and visions, poets of all ages, ethnicities, and geographic locations coming together to create a dialogue and to jam–not slam. This is our mouth on paper, our hearts on our sleeves, our refusal to shut up and swallow our silence. These poems are tough, honest, astute, perceptive, lyrical, blunt, sad, funny, heartbreaking, and true. They shout, they curse, they whisper, and sing. But most of all, they tell it like it is.” –Tony Medina, from the Introduction

At the same time, in a small rural town on the planet's poorest continent, the Kiings family is beginning to plan a celebration for their oldest son's return from college. Then Kinara, an old family friend, shows up on their doorstep and an unwise choice first puts her life in jeopardy, and not long after makes her the custodian of Zalek, the second Kiings son, who is just beginning to find the source of his own power. As Zalek struggles to discover out just who and what he is, events no longer allow for a leisurely exploration of his progress but accelerate the process in ways he never could have imagined as he is swept along by forces beyond his control. Everyone has secrets here and as life devolves into chaos some are exposed while some remain hidden as everyone must do what they can to survive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Marines Doherty, James and Parks nestle soundly around a campfire deep in the wilds of Northern Idaho; set to reminisce on long forgotten memories spent together with their fellow Grunts, their brothers of 1st Squad, 2nd platoon. Brothers too busy or haunted to join the three for this secluded reunion. Each infantry Marine struggles with his own harassing demons, one more than the other two but when the three former infantrymen are thrown into chaos, their reunion becomes a battle for their lives. The outcome will test the very limits of 1st Squad’s brotherhood, loyalty, and an undeniable bond formed on the battlefields over twenty years earlier. While not shying away from the complexities of combat and the scars it can leave behind, The Last Letter provides vivid insight into the bond shared by combat Marines, a bond that says they’ll fight for each other, they’ll die for each other, a bond that may very well last beyond death. Although this book is a fictional narrative, the experiences, guilt and emotions shared by the characters throughout the novel are based on real world applications from the author’s turbulent pas. About the Author SSgt. Jacob Parkinson was born on an Air Force base in northern California, moved to Texas at age 4, joined the United States Marine Corps at age 21. While serving with India Co 3⁄5, a boat company; a then Sgt. Parkinson and fellow squad leader, each lost half their squads, during the April 8, 2000 MV-22 Osprey crash in Marana, Arizona, on a first use infantry deployment of the experimental aircraft. Sgt. Parkinson would go onto serve one combat tour to the Al Anbar Province, Iraq, dubbed The Red Triangle, from 2004-2005 as an infantry squad leader, Bravo Co 1/23. At the time, Sgt. Parkinson and his squad, would stand defiantly against the cowardice of their platoon commander, outside of Fallujah, zero-dark-thirty. That moment will seal the concrete bond formed by 1st squad that lonely, infamous, November night for an eternity. SSgt. Parkinson graduated company honorman from bootcamp (#1 out of 500), meritoriously promoted twice, recipient of several certificates of commendations and awarded the Navy Achievement Medal with V for decisive actions taken towards the enemy during combat operations in the Anbar Province. Upon leaving the Marines, SSgt. Parkinson used his military benefits to achieve a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Rhode Island 2020.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite frequent and extensive publications on Islam, very few Americans, indeed very few non-Muslims, truly understand the faith or the more than one billion adherents who live it. This set presents the diversity and richness of Islam, filling in the blanks and expanding our knowledge and understanding. Portraying Muslims in all their humanity and diversity balances the images that have bombarded society and presents the reader with a fuller and more accurate picture of the Islamic faith and what it means to live as a Muslim—in Muslim communities, and as part of a broader tapestry of pluralism in the nations of the world. What does it mean to share Muslim concerns? To experience Muslim spirituality? What is the difference between Sunni and Shiite sects? Why do Muslims pray so frequently? What is the reality of Muslim marriage and gender relations? What is the meaning of jihad and martyrdom to a practicing Muslim? What role do the arts and humanities play in modern Muslim life? How are Islamic children raised? These questions and others are answered in these volumes, which bring together Muslim voices from around the world, including men and women, scholars and laypersons, fundamentalists and progressives, and others from various cultural, political, and Islamic backgrounds. Personal experiences and poetry are included to illustrate the many different expressions of Islam.
