  A fascinating tour of creatures from the surface to the deepest ocean floor: this "miraculous, transcendental book" invites us to envision wilder, grander, and more abundant possibilities for the way we live (Ed Yong, author of An Immense World). A queer, mixed race writer working in a largely white, male field, science and conservation journalist Sabrina Imbler has always been drawn to the mystery of life in the sea, and particularly to creatures living in hostile or remote environments. Each essay in their debut collection profiles one such creature, including:     ·the mother octopus who starves herself while watching over her eggs,     ·the Chinese sturgeon whose migration route has been decimated by pollution and dams,     ·the bizarre, predatory Bobbitt worm (named after Lorena),     ·the common goldfish that flourishes in the wild,     ·and more.  Imbler discovers that some of the most radical models of family, community, and care can be found in the sea, from gelatinous chains that are both individual organisms and colonies of clones to deep-sea crabs that have no need for the sun, nourished instead by the chemicals and heat throbbing from the core of the Earth. Exploring themes of adaptation, survival, sexuality, and care, and weaving the wonders of marine biology with stories of their own family, relationships, and coming of age, How Far the Light Reaches is a shimmering, otherworldly debut that attunes us to new visions of our world and its miracles.    WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE in SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY  Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award One of TIME’s 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year •  A PEOPLE Best New Book  •  A Barnes & Noble and SHELF AWARENESS Best Book of 2022  •  An Indie Next Pick  •  One of Winter’s Most Eagerly Anticipated Books: VANITY FAIR, VULTURE, BOOKRIOT

  Not once have I hesitated to do my job, until today . . . I'm great at what I do—at least the one I tell people about. There's a reason I get the rates I do and why everyone in the business fears me—I can complete a contract in record time and have never left even the tiniest trace I was there. But then I get the hit order, the one that changes everything . . .  
   
  When I walk into the chapel, ready to off the best man and collect my bounty, I don't expect to see Rhodes, and I sure as shit don't expect to scent him as my mate. Now I have ten seconds to decide if I am going to pretend I'm a guest in the hopes of getting what I've always wanted or complete the job with the precision it requires. 
   
  I choose Rhodes and inadvertently put the target on his back.

  Hard-boiled 1920s private detective Buck Baxter is used to solving crimes of passion, but when his latest client turns out to be his own boyfriend, Harry Hart, Buck discovers that nothing is what it seems when it comes to the mysteries of love. 
  All of Wilde City is abuzz with the unveiling of transport tycoon Howard Hart’s latest innovation, a rocket-train that promises to change the future of not only Wilde City, but the entire world. But not everyone has their mind on Hart Industries, including Harry—Howard’s son and heir to the Hart empire—who is so suspicious of his mother’s abnormal behavior that he hires his boyfriend, Buck, to investigate. 
  On the surface, the case looks like another secret love affair. But when Buck finds danger at every turn, he realizes this investigation is much deeper—and the stakes much higher—than he ever suspected. 
  From the smoke-veiled opium barge known as The Peking Empress to the opulence of the Hart family mansion—from Luigi’s garlicky gangster-run Linguine Kitchen to the secret-filled carriages of The Millennium Express—Buck’s latest case is about to teach him that love comes in many forms, all of which are wrapped in secrets, danger and a whole lot of mystery. 
  Buck Baxter and the Mysteries of Love is the third adventure in The Buck Baxter Detective Agency series. It is a campy, noir, 35k-word detective story featuring a tough and troubled leading man, a heartthrob love interest with secrets of his own and a hilarious cast of supporting characters. Enter a world of prohibition, gangsters, speakeasies, jazz clubs, star-crossed romance, brooding heroes and a mystery with a twist.

  MARSH: Tal Bellamy is everything I'm not. A jet-setting playboy. A sexy silver fox. A guy who lives his life loudly and unapologetically. 
   
   
   
  We've been friends for almost twenty years. When he comes to town for a visit, I make a vow. There's something I need to get off my chest. Something I've been hiding. Tal's the perfect guy to confide in because I know he won't judge me. The last thing I expect is to get plastered and hook up with him. 
   
   
   
  TAL: Marsh Duncan is a big, burly mountain man. A recluse. Grouchy at times. Or at least, that's what he wants people to think. 
   
   
   
  Not me. I know the man beneath the gruff exterior. When he's around his brothers or hanging out with me, his kindness and warmth shine through. 
   
   
   
  The truth is, Marsh is actually one giant marshmallow. Another truth? I'm all-out, head over heels, slap-me-sideways in love with him. My plan is to confess my secret when I visit, not sleep with him. But it seems that I'm not the only one with something to reveal. 
   
   
   
  Now that we've both shared our truth, the question is: have we ruined our friendship, or are we on the brink of a forever love? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
