Sinopsis

Dear Judy:Your letter is here. I have read it twice, and with amazement. Do I understand that Jervis has given you, for a Christmas present, the making over of the John Grier Home into a model institution, and that you have chosen me to disburse the money? Me—I, Sallie McBride, the head of an orphan asylum! My poor people, have you lost your senses, or have you become addicted to the use of opium, and is this the raving of two fevered imaginations? I am exactly as well fitted to take care of one hundred children as to become the curator of a zoo.

    It's a dirty galaxy and someone has to clean it. 
    Avoiding the wealthy inhabitants on the upper levels of Station Kelly Kornienko is bot-programmer Triana’s number one rule. Well, number two, right after "eat all the chocolate." 
    But when one of her cleaning bots finds a dead body, all the rules go out the airlock. A highly connected security agent interrupts her routine with stories of missing bodies, and Triana can’t ignore him; it’s cooperate or find a new job. A girl has to pay the rent, even on a crappy studio compartment. 
    Working with a shiny detective beats a shuttle dirt-side, so Triana lends her programming skills to Agent O’Neill’s investigation. Together, they find more victims and evidence of a major cover-up. 
    It will take all Triana’s technical talents, most of O’Neill’s connections, and some really excellent croissants to stop the murders, save her job, and ultimately, her life.

    Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, narrates a classic boys’ adventure by Emilio Salgari (1862–1911), one of Italy’s most prolific and bestselling authors. Set in the jungles of the Amazon, the tale follows hunters in pursuit of a legendary serpent of colossal size. 
    The story brims with action-filled passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones and draws listeners into an exotic landscape where forked tongues and sharp teeth lurk in dark caves. 
    Salgari was an armchair adventurer of the worst kind, and his descriptions of indigenous peoples are marked by the prejudices common in his day. Yet, because his yarn is so preposterous and grounded in practically no first-hand experience, it is perhaps possible to forgive as mere entertainment. 
    This is a journey with the “grandfather” of Italian popular fiction—the Italian counterpart to Karl May (1842–1912) in Germany and H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) in Britain. 
    The short intro was adapted from a creative commons flamenco performance at YouTube.

    When William von Antrim decided to pursue a career as a doctor, working to help Jewish survivors recover from the horrors of World War II, he believed he was doing all in his power to help his people survive. A German refugee himself, William fled to America with his mother after she was accused of being of Jewish descent. William's father left them with only his estate, his family name, and his legacy. 
     
     
     
    A legacy that proves to be William's downfall. 
     
     
     
    What begins with a shameful truth coming to light forces William to confront not only his family's past but his own. William's case threads together one tragic character after another: a Jewish prosecutor whose life was saved by an unexpected act of kindness; a fragile woman with a shocking story of revenge and betrayal; an ambitious attorney who struggles with morality; and William himself, who faces the dire consequences of his relentless attempts at redemption, regardless of the steep price he must pay. 
     
     
     
    Evoking questions on the banality of evil, morality, and guilt, The Case of the German Doctor is a deep, debut novel that will shock listeners until the end. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Truth or Dare: Tell the One-Who-Got-Away that you're still madly in love with him OR spend the night trapped with him in a hunting lodge that's about to be swept downstream? 
    Ha! Trick Question. I get to do BOTH! Because when it rains, it pours. 
    First, I call Theo McGuire to tell him that I've always loved him and I always will—at least for the next few hours until Pippa Jane the Pig and I are swallowed by the floodwaters. Then, I open the second story window when Theo comes knocking in his kayak, in a likely doomed attempt to save us. 
    Soon, we're trapped in the cabin where we had our first time fifteen years ago and all I can think about is how much I wish I could turn back the clock. If I could, I'd never let this fiercely kind and sexy-as-hell man go. 
    Since this could be The End, we agree to make our last night a night to remember. 
    But what happens when morning dawns, we're both still breathing, and I can't bear to think of a life without my favorite McGuire?
