Sinopse

In "The Angel," Guy Thorne crafts a poignant narrative steeped in early 20th-century spiritualism and the exploration of love transcending mortal boundaries. This novel artfully intertwines elements of gothic fiction with a profound examination of moral dilemmas, presenting readers with a gripping tale that revolves around themes of redemption, the afterlife, and the eternal bond between souls. Thorne's lyrical prose and vivid imagery evoke a rich atmosphere that deepens the reader's engagement with the complex characters and their emotional landscapes, thereby reflecting the literary context of his time, which was rife with inquiries into faith and the supernatural. Guy Thorne, an English writer and journalist, was deeply influenced by the social upheavals of his era, including the Great War and the burgeoning interest in spiritualism. His experiences as a journalist often led him to question the nature of existence and the mysteries surrounding life and death. This inquiry is palpably felt in "The Angel," as Thorne navigates through the fragility of human relationships and the possibility of existence beyond physical demise, offering insights into his philosophical ponderings that resonate with contemporary readers. For those seeking a narrative that intertwines love, loss, and the metaphysical, "The Angel" is a compelling read. Thorne's mastery of language and ability to evoke a haunting yet beautiful exploration of the human condition make this novel a worthy addition to the library of any literary enthusiast. Whether one is drawn to the themes of spirituality, love, or moral contemplation, "The Angel" promises an enriching experience.

    Even the afterlife gets decided in a committee. 
    The afterlife is more like a large retirement community than a fiery pit where even collecting souls has been automated. Death has nothing on his to-do list until his co-worker, the Devil, tells him she’s retiring. For years he’s relied on her to keep the ever-growing population of Patala running smoothly. After five hundred years he needs to replace the most important woman in his life. 
    To avoid mutiny from the residents (and having to do anything), he forms a politically charged search committee. An increasingly absent Death fidgets as the process drags out for over a year. When the worn-out incumbent’s unstable powers cause a magical blackout, Death fears the living world will be overrun by the dead. Now desperate to fill the position with a fresh recruit, Death needs to make a decision.  
    The only good thing is that the hiring process can’t kill him. 
    If you like clever takes on familiar characters, rich worlds, and seeing Death suffer then you’ll love S.R. Marks’ sarcastic take on the afterlife. 
    Time has almost run out for Death, but not for you to read Help Wanted: New Devil, the first book in The Enduring fantasy series.

    Phantastes - A Faerie Romance...

    First published in 1858, Phantastes stands as one of the earliest and most influential works of modern fantasy. In this dreamlike tale, George MacDonald leads his readers through the mysterious “Fairy Land,” where the boundaries between reality and imagination dissolve. Beneath its enchanted forests and shifting shadows lies a profound spiritual allegory—a journey of the soul toward self-knowledge, purity, and love.
     
    Though often whimsical and strange, Phantastes speaks to the deepest human longing for transformation and transcendence. Its influence echoes through the works of later writers such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, who both regarded MacDonald as a master of mythic storytelling.

    On-the-job training can be hazardous to your health… 
    Lorna Greenwood hopes the Lunar Free State’s Fleet Academy will prepare her to follow in her grandmother’s legendary footsteps. Her roommate Nova Sakura has already spent time in the LFS Marines and wants to move up to the officer ranks. 
    First, though, they have to survive four years of training. Military service gets real for Lorna when the assault carrier Omaha Beach comes under fire during her first year training cruise. Nova’s first year cruise aboard the light cruiser Hydra seems pretty routine, until she’s called upon to take charge of a squad of Marines boarding a ship full of murderous pirates. 
    And nothing prepares them for the challenges they face after graduation, when they’re both assigned to the same ship and find themselves facing an alien enemy in a distant star system, in what could be the start of another interstellar war. 
    Two young women put their lives on the line in the service of Luna…even if that means leaving family, friends, and their hearts behind.
