Sinopse

George Washington, President of a very young United States of America must once again resort to mayhem and destruction to save his administration and avoid a possible reunification with England and its King.
 
Trade in the Mediterranean Sea area is totally cut off by the Washington Administration's refusal to pay the piratical Islamic Mussellmen tributes. So with the support of his Vice-President John Adams and his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Washington turns to a former Continental Army friend, Benjamin Stoddert. Benjamin Stoddert now operates the largest and most successful commercial shipping lines in America.
 
With Benjamin's management skills and his son Nathaniel's ship handling skills, the Stoddert Shipping Line was able to establish trade in the very lucrative West Indies while fighting off a hoard of pirates. This resulted in a very successful Stoddert Shipping Lines (SSL). It also resulted in a very handsome contribution from Benjamin Stoddert to George Washington and his political ambitions.
 
But a successful effort in the Mediterranean will require all of Benjamin and Nathaniel's skills. Not only will they need to defeat the numerous gunboats and fierce Mussellmen fighters, they will also have to defeat a Mussellman frigate that is reportedly manned by former British Royal Navy seaman.
 
Success will also require a fighting ship that is capable of doing a lot of different things. It will require unique gunnery as well as fighting men. Can the Stodderts pull this off? Can anyone pull this off? There is only one way to find out and the army General in President Washington was not familiar with retreat.

    Celebrated throughout the world for her candor and sensitivity to the rhythms of language, Hanne Ørstavik is a leading light on the international stage. Ørstavik's prose adheres so closely to the inner workings of its narrator's mind as to nearly undo itself. In Martin Aitken's translation, Ørstavik's piercing story sings. 
     
     
      
    Ti Amo brings a new, deeply personal approach, as the novel is based in Ørstavik's own experience of losing her husband to cancer. By facing loss directly, she includes listeners in an experience that many face in isolation. Written and set in the early months of 2020, its themes of loss and suffering are well suited for a time of international mourning. 
     
     
      
    What can be found within a gaze? What lies inside a painting or behind a handful of repeated words? These are the questions that haunt our narrator as she tends to her husband, stricken with cancer, in the final months of his life. 
     
     
      
    She examines the elements of their life together: their Vietnamese folding table where they eat their meals, each of the New Year's Eves they've shared, their friendships, and their most intimate exchanges. 
     
     
      
    With everything in flux, she searches for the facets that will remain.

    I let her go once because she wasn’t mine. This time, I’ll die before I give her up… 
    I want her.

    But Ava doesn’t belong to me. 
    Then she arrives in my clubhouse, seeking refuge. My gut churns at the sight of the bruises on her face, the fear in her eyes. 
    Before I was the president of the War Brothers Motorcycle Club, I was a sniper in the military who hunted down evil men like her husband. Now I avoid relationships because the wounds I have are more than skin deep. 
    But Ava’s different, and when I find her in the wrong bedroom—my bedroom—one night, what happens next changes everything. 
    I let her go once because she was married, but I won’t make the same mistake twice. 
    I’ll die before I let her dangerous husband, the jealous women in our club, or the enemy our club didn’t see coming lay a finger on her. 
    Because this time around, Ava is mine.
