Phaeton

Chris Sefer

Summary

Thomas Phateon realizes he is really in trouble when he finds himself strapped to a chair in a New York psychiatric hospital with no memory of how he got there. The last three days of his life seem to have been washed away. His last memory? Finding himself on a rooftop because he was on the run from someone... As if that were not enough before him stands Dr.Lewis, a psychiatrist who claims to want to help him regain his memories, delving into his memory and his life, on a journey that threatens to unearth secrets and realities that perhaps no one, not even Thomas himself is able to accept. Yet, this is just the beginning of a journey, a mysterious one in which the protagonists will soon have to choose sides in order to adjust to these new realities and, in some instances, fight to survive.Chris Sefer, whose real name is Armen Safaryan, is an architect and a writer who grew up in a family immersed in creativity.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
