Synopsis

In the wake of the Great Blackout, faced with the near-extinction of humanity, a pair of lovers speak to each other. They parse, with precision, with familiarity, the endless aspects of their love. Out of their dialogues, piece by piece, a composite image of love takes form, one that moves outwards beyond the realm of relationships and into metaphysics, geology, linguistics, AI.

   Years previously, a writer and her husband, a Latin professor, stay in Venice while she works on a text. As they roam the city, strange occurrences accumulate, signalling that the world around them is heading towards a point of no return.

   Blending fiction and essay, poetry and philosophy, Agustín Fernández Mallo's The Book of All Loves is a startling, expansive work of imaginative agility, one that renders love unfamiliar so as to renew it, and makes the case for hope in the midst of a disintegrating present.

    They were sworn enemies ... or so she thought. 
    Indiana Nash 
    In high school, I hated my brother’s best friend. 
    The fact that he was also my boyfriend’s best friend further complicated things. 
    Angry and scowling was his default mode around me. 
    Even before the accident—our hate was mutual. 
    It’s been more than a decade since I’ve been home, since I’ve seen him. 
    But my new life in Los Angeles just imploded and I have nowhere else to go. 
    A long, exhausting bus ride brings me back to my small hometown of Rockhurst. 
    Jameson Wilde was one of the reasons I dreaded coming back home, so I can hardly believe my eyes when my trembling, cold body collapses into his strong, secure embrace. 
    He’s my nemesis. 
    The man who caused me so much pain. 
    Why does it feel so right in his arms? 
    Jameson Wilde 
    I spent my high school years always hovering in the background, angry and tortured as I watched my best friend date the girl I loved. 
    The pain of being near her and knowing I’d never have her nearly broke me. 
    Self-preservation led me to shut off all of my feelings completely, until three years ago when I got a phone call and a voice from the past told me I was a father. 
    My ex-girlfriend claimed she needed a “break” from parenting and dropped Rio off at my doorstep. 
    Since that moment, my entire life has revolved around my daughter. 
    She’s all that matters. 
    Then, out of the blue, Indi Nash—the only girl I’ve ever wanted—shows up at my doorstep. 
    She’s hurt and hungry and cold, and all the years I spent putting the pieces of my heart back together are shattered as she collapses into my arms. 
    She’s everything I’ve ever wanted … but she hates me.

    The Scottish Relic Trilogy: Book Three
     Miranda MacDonnell is on the run. When she inherited a mysterious relic from her mother, she had no idea of the dangers it would bring. Now, hunted by a relentless foe who will stop at nothing to find her, she has one choice: stow away on the ship of the notorious privateer, Black Hawk.
    Rob Hawkins, the privateer known as Black Hawk, has a mission from the Tudor king to find and kill the rogue commander, Sir Ralph Evers. To complete his quest, Hawk must find Miranda, a young woman Evers is pursuing. Caught in a tempest, he is shipwrecked with a lad who demonstrates an uncanny ability for saving him. Cast away on the mysterious Isle of the Dead in the Outer Hebrides, Hawk realizes that the 'lad' traveling with him is actually Miranda MacDonnell, and having her means that Evers will come to him. What begins as a ploy—using her as bait—soon changes, however, as feelings begin to emerge between them.
    Ancient forces are at work, drawing all four possessors of the relic's power to the Isle of the Dead for a final battle where good must overcome the forces of evil in this spectacular climax to the Scottish Relic Trilogy.

    Breaking Knees - Sixty-three...

    Wry, satirical and bawdy, Tamer's stories are always informed by his dark view of humanity and of Syrian society in particular. Through these glimpses of corrupt, fearful lives under a violent dictatorship, it is possible to discern echoes of the storm that has brought Syria to near-disintegration. Tamer's stories explore taboos and power relations, bringing together religion, politics and sexuality (often all at once) and implying that these forms of oppression are connected. An assault is deflected when the victim responds enthusiastically; a woman is spared stoning because the streets have no cobbles, and her neighbours cannot afford any; A comatose man awakens after years to find the regime unchanged, and tries to escape back into the coma; a newborn baby curses the hospital staff that delivers him, and when his mother tries to quiet him, retorts: 'You're talking like our leaders!'; a man is warned by two apples not to eat them, and anxiously questions them about their political connections. Unsentimental and brilliantly compressed, these sixty-three stories are the work of a virtuoso, and translator Ibrahim Muhawi has found exactly the right deadpan style with which to express them.

    No one knows for certain what caused the Shadow to come into existence. Clerics say it was the gods laying a curse upon this world. Philosophers maintain that the Shadow of Strix is nothing short of a blessing and new milestone in human progress. But both sides agree that the Shadow will eventually swallow up this world and change it beyond recognition. 
     
     
     
    However, there are also the mages, and they think the whole debate is just so much hot air. They accept the Shadow as is with all its horrors and wonders. Furthermore, for the last several centuries, mages have risked their lives attempting to harness the Shadow's Power for themselves. 
     
     
     
    Unsurprisingly, only a select few have access to knowledge about the Shadow's magic. Max Renard understands that, so he chooses a different and more hazardous path. He decides to head for the frontier himself to experience the Shadow's Power firsthand.
