Emergence - Out of the Dawn

Kiki Sarpong

Sinossi

The events of August 15th, 2018, leave the world stunned. An anomaly that engulfs an entire country leaving only death and silence in its wake. As the world struggles to comprehend the new disaster, chaos spreads across the globe, creating a discourse of conspiracy and delusion. Amidst this chaos, one journalist ventures on a quest to uncover the truth behind the catastrophe, armed with nothing but the internet and his wit.
 
***
 
The main character, Daniel Akwasi Aboagye, is an investigative journalist going through a life that has been unfulfilling—coming to terms with age and the failed expectations of greatness. He believes he has so much talent to offer, but he’s stuck in a world that overlooks him and passes him by. Either way, he presses on because failure is never an option. 
 
That is, until something extreme happens in a neighboring country—something that literally and figuratively infects the planet. 
 
In the midst of such an anomaly, Daniel’s urge to find the truth is the one thing that keeps him going. An overwhelming need that draws him to search for accuracy through the storm of false information flooding the world. Though this time, he can’t even physically travel to the location; all that’s available is his intellect and the internet.

Lord Peter Views the Body The...

Dorothy L. Sayers

"The Fascinating Problem Of Uncle Meleager's Will" is a short story from Dorothy Sayers' book, Lord Peter Views the Body.This is apparently the first Lord Peter story; it was originally published in Pearson's Magazine (July 1925).When old Meleager Finch dies, he leaves two wills: the first grants his fortune to the conservative Primrose League, while the second leaves everything to his niece, Hannah, a young, serious socialist. He writes a letter to Hannah explaining that this second will has been hidden somewhere, and that her only chance of finding it is "by the exercise of a sustained frivolity."Lord Peter, his sister Mary, and his valet Bunter travel with Hannah to help her find the missing will. They discover that Meleager was a crossword puzzle fiend, and find a trove of puzzles he had written, including one with no accompanying grid. When Peter falls into the impluvium, he discovers that the missing grid is the tiled floor of the fountain itself, and solving it reveals the location of the missing will.The story is notable for containing an entire crossword puzzle in which all the clues are rhyming couplets (or quatrains).

Nothing To Regret - Calamity...

Bellamy Gayle

STRONG, SMART, AND FAST AND TOO SMART. That's how they described tomboy Hattie Dumond, born in bilingual New Orleans in 1914. No one, including Hattie, thought that would save her life two decades later. She struggled against the restrictions women faced in those early 20th century years. Yes, she's a tomboy, but can slip into the role of debutante, and trains her intellect to straddle both. 
  
In Paris, she studies medicine at the Sorbonne, graduating as Hitler's Nazis invade France. Stranded in Europe, Hattie is forced to fend for herself and agrees to a marriage proposal by an officer in the French Army. It's the only way to get out of Paris before it's too late. 
  
She learns to love Luke DeValcourt, the good man she marries, then loses him to a Nazi prison and Hattie joins the French Resistance to rescue him and others, then escapes with Luke across the Channel to England.  
  
Trouble follows Hattie like a pebble stuck in a shoe. She can't see that danger will challenge her wherever she goes. Hattie has a lot to learn…if she lives. 
 Her return to Louisiana offers a lingering mix of pitfalls and danger that threaten her medical practice and the people she loves. What must she do to prevail? Will she? Or will she suffer the terrible consequences?
