  Tony is a normal 10 year old boy living on the colony world with his parents and other humans who run this world.  The 'Beetles' as the natives are called in derision, do the work andt know their place.  Their fleet was defeated with little problem 10 years ago and the humans had yet another world to populate with their overflowing numbers on Earth.  But today something was happening; the Beetle fleet had returned and was doing nasty things to the earth vessels.  Is it possible that the inexorable human expansion to new systems and planets across the galaxy was coming to an end?  What would happen now?

  When Loretta surrenders her young girls to the county and then disappears, she becomes one more missing Native woman in Indian Country's long devastating history of loss. But she is also a daughter of the Mozhay Point Reservation in northern Minnesota, and the mother of Azure and Rain, ages three and four, and her absence haunts all the lives she has touched—and all the stories they tell in this novel. In the Night of Memory returns to the fictional reservation of Linda LeGarde Grover's previous award-winning books, introducing listeners to a new generation of the Gallette family as Azure and Rain make their way home. 
   
   
   
  After a string of foster placements, from cold to kind to cruel, the girls find their way back to their extended Mozhay family, and a new set of challenges, and stories, unfolds. Deftly, Grover conjures a chorus of women's voices (sensible, sensitive Azure's first among them) to fill in the sorrows and joys, the loves and the losses that have brought the girls and their people to this moment. Though reconciliation is possible, some ruptures simply cannot be repaired; they can only be lived through, or lived with. In the Night of Memory creates a nuanced, moving, often humorous picture of two Ojibwe girls becoming women in light of this lesson learned in the long, sharply etched shadow of Native American history.

  The Brothers Karamazov

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  "The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for."
  
  In a provincial Russian town, the brutal and lecherous patriarch Fyodor Karamazov is murdered. The suspicion falls on his eldest son, Dmitry, whose fiery passion and public threats make him the perfect scapegoat. But the true "trial" takes place within the souls of the three brothers: the sensualist Dmitry, the intellectual atheist Ivan, and the spiritual novice Alyosha. As the investigation unfolds, Dostoevsky explores the deepest questions of morality, free will, and the existence of God in a world filled with suffering.
  
  The Great Debate: Faith vs. Reason: At the heart of the novel is the legendary "Grand Inquisitor" chapter, where Ivan presents a devastating critique of Christian morality. This intellectual titan is countered by the gentle, life-affirming teachings of Father Zosima. Dostoevsky does not offer easy answers; instead, he presents the conflict with such raw power that it remains the definitive literary treatment of the "problem of evil."
  
  A Masterclass in Psychological Suspense: Beyond the philosophy, the novel is a high-stakes "whodunit." Dostoevsky meticulously constructs the night of the murder, using unreliable narrators and shifting perspectives to keep the reader guessing until the final chapters. The courtroom climax is a brilliant dissection of how legal "truth" often misses the spiritual reality of a man's heart.
  
  The Definitive Human Epic: The Brothers Karamazov is a book that demands to be experienced. It is a messy, passionate, and profound exploration of the "Karamazov force"—the wild, earth-bound energy that can lead to either total destruction or ultimate redemption.
  
  Experience the novel that defined an era. Purchase "The Brothers Karamazov" today and confront the big questions of life.

  John Turner Russell and I are special investigators. 
  Our job, as it was described by the Judge, was to look into the backgrounds of certain individuals and ascertain if they had the potential of becoming law breakers. There was very little if any violence involved in this endeavor. That is until these last jobs. It seemed as if the jobs were becoming more like bounty hunting than investigators.
