Sinopse

In "The Marooner," J. Allan Dunn crafts a riveting narrative that oscillates between adventure and introspection, capturing the essence of human resilience against a backdrop of conflict and survival. Set in the Caribbean, the novel unfolds through the lens of its protagonist, a shipwrecked marooner who must navigate both the physical challenges of his isolation and the moral dilemmas that emerge from his newfound freedom. Dunn's prose exhibits a keen attention to vivid detail and character development, allowing readers to experience the stark beauty and treachery of island life, while subtly engaging with themes of freedom, identity, and the nature of civilization itself. J. Allan Dunn, a sailor and journalist by profession, brings an authentic voice to his exploration of life at sea and the complexities of human emotion. His experiences navigating the waters of the Caribbean likely informed his depiction of the marooner's plight, merging his extensive maritime knowledge with a profound understanding of psychological depth. Dunn's background in storytelling and his fascination with themes of exile and adventure serve as a foundation for this compelling tale. Readers seeking an engrossing and thought-provoking exploration of survival and the human spirit will find "The Marooner" to be an essential addition to their literary collection. Dunn's ability to weave intricate layers of adventure with poignant existential questions makes this novel not just a story of endurance, but a reflective inquiry into the very essence of what it means to be free.

    Books 1 & 2 of the Bass Reeves Trilogy adapted for the Paramount+ miniseries Lawmen: Bass Reeves 
     
     
     
    All heroes have fatal flaws and a moment of defining hubris, but few rise from the ashes to achieve greater heights. In 1884 Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves was arrested for murder and placed among his own prisoners in Hell on the Border, the infamous federal jail in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It was the single greatest setback of his illustrious career, but it wouldn't be his last mistake or trial by fire. 
     
     
     
    In The Forsaken and the Dead we meet Reeves again. In the 1890s, past his prime, Reeves proceeds through the valleys and shadows of Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Despite his caution and innovations as a lawman and detective, his nation no longer seems a product of his own making—so much like his children and his marriage to Jennie. While a modern world implodes around him and demons from his past continue to haunt his present, he remains resolute in his faith that he can be a steady rider on a pale horse.

    Charlotte Pitt’s clever grandmother investigates the sudden disappearance of a dear friend in this chilling whodunit, the final holiday novel by the late New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry. 
     
    Mariah Ellison, Charlotte Pitt’s grandmother, accepts an invitation to spend Christmas with her longtime friend Sadie and Sadie’s husband, Barton, in their picturesque village. But upon arrival, Mariah discovers that Sadie has vanished without a trace, and Barton rudely rescinds the invitation.  
    Once Mariah finds another acquaintance to stay with, she begins investigating Sadie’s disappearance. 
     
    Mariah’s uncanny knack for solving mysteries serves her well during her search, which is driven by gossip as icy as the December weather. Did Sadie run off with another man? Was she kidnapped? Has someone harmed her? Frustratingly, her neighbors’ questions reveal more about the villagers  
    themselves than about Sadie’s whereabouts. Yet in the process of getting to know Sadie’s friends, Mariah finds a kind of redemption, as she rediscovers her kinder side and her ability to love. 
     
    It is up to Mariah to master her own feelings, drown out the noise, and get to the bottom of what occurred, all before Christmas Day. With the holiday rapidly approaching, will she succeed in bringing Sadie home in time for them to celebrate together—or is that too much to hope for?
