Sinopse

In "Rebel Spurs," Andre Norton crafts a compelling narrative that masterfully intertwines elements of science fiction and western genres, a hallmark of her distinctive literary style. Set against the rugged landscape of a post-apocalyptic Texas, the novel explores themes of resilience, survival, and rebellion as it follows the young protagonist, a displaced Earth man, who navigates the complexities of loyalty and conflict. Norton's deft prose combines vivid imagery with a rich exploration of character psychology, creating a story that is both immersive and thought-provoking, and reflecting the sociopolitical tensions of her time. Andre Norton, an illustrious figure in speculative fiction, has significantly impacted the genre since her first publication in the 1930s. Her unique background, which includes a deep interest in history and a penchant for the fantastical, informs the layered narrative style evident in "Rebel Spurs." Norton's experiences as a librarian and her early exposure to literature allowed her to forge stories that resonate with readers across generations, all while addressing universal themes of identity and belonging. For readers seeking an entrancing blend of adventure and introspection, "Rebel Spurs" is an essential addition to the shelves of fans of both science fiction and westerns. Norton's ability to transcend generational and cultural divides offers a gripping exploration of the human spirit, making this novel not merely a story of rebellion but a profound commentary on the choices that define our lives.

    🎷 In the sultry shadows of 1918 New Orleans, death has a rhythm all its own. 
    When a string of brutal, axe-wielding murders shatters the city’s uneasy peace, Detective Louis Beaulieu is thrust into a chilling hunt for a phantom whose only calling cards are shattered skulls and bloodstained jazz notes. As fear grips the streets, the elusive Axeman sends a nightmarish ultimatum to the public: play jazz through the night—or face the blade. 
    With each new body, the line between madness and music blurs. Beneath the surface of this city steeped in secrets, something darker is composing a symphony of terror. Beaulieu must navigate a twisted maze of smoke-filled clubs, cryptic messages, and haunted minds—where every clue is a note in a macabre composition, and silence could be the prelude to death. 
    As the killer’s melody crescendos, Beaulieu faces a truth more sinister than he ever imagined—one that threatens to consume him and the soul of New Orleans itself. 
    The Axeman of New Orleans is a heart-pounding historical thriller where jazz and horror intertwine. Prepare to leave the lights on—and the music playing. 🔊 
    Some symphonies should never be heard...🎶

    That Dazzling Sun, Book 2 in The Tinsmith's Apprentice trilogy, continues the vivid coming-of-age story of Isaac Granger, slave to Thomas Jefferson, begun in Bechtel's marvelously adept debut novel, "A Partial Sun" in which Isaac begins his complicated apprenticeship at age fifteen as a tinsmith in Philadelphia in the fall of 1790.In this second book, Rachel Bringhouse, the tinsmith's daughter and Isaac's tutur, sails off to Englad to work alongside the famous social activist and poet, Hannah Moore, writing enthusiastic letters to Isaac and which Isaac answers back with assistance from the irrepressibly poetic cook's helper, Ovid. Meanwhile, Billey gardner, the feisty and opportunistic former slave of James Madison, pesters Isaac with notions of a business partnership; the charismatic Dr. Cornelius Sharp uses Isaac to confront Jefferson as a debt-ridden slaveowner; and the Reverend Richard Allen provides Isaac with a most surprising document.When an exuberant Rachel returns from England with a key insight and Isaac's hated nemesis Daniel Shady reappears, bent on revenge, the book rises to its crescendo, in which Isaac must rise to his own power and bargain at last with Thomas Jefferson on his own terms.

Forced on a terrifying death march from the notorious concentration camp, midwife and former secret agent Maggie must find the strength to protect the tiny baby girl her dying friend left in her care.

So when a company of soldiers led by brave Captain Jamie Maclean rescues the marching women, Maggie’s relief knows no bounds. But it soon turns to astonishment when Jamie vows to help Maggie reunite Leah with her father—he has fallen in love with Maggie and will do everything in his power to assist her. Maggie can’t yet trust her own budding feelings. But she accepts Jamie’s help and slowly starts to dream of a life together—until Maggie gets the news every survivor dreads. The most fearsome Nazi of all, Dr. Mengele, the terror of Auschwitz, has escaped—and she may be the only person strong enough to track him down. Looking at baby Leah’s trusting eyes, Maggie’s heart is torn. But she has to find Mengele and bring him to justice. Can she succeed on the most terrifying mission of her life when so many others have failed? And if she does, will she find her way back home to the ones she loves, or will the heartbreak of everything she has suffered destroy any chance of happiness forever?
