Summary

A father and son find new meaning in Christmas, in this uplifting and poignant novella by the author of When You Went Away.

His sense of celebration takes on entirely new levels of meaning, though, when it leads him to an unexpected and most remarkable discovery . . . At once buoyant and moving, and filled with irrepressible Christmas spirit, A Winter Discovery is a story that will take you to new places in your heart.Praise for the Hearts of Men novels “Deeply emotional, totally romantic.” —Susan Elizabeth Phillips, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Simply the Best and Kiss an Angel “Wry, tender, beautifully written.” —Lisa Kleypas, New York Times–bestselling author of the Wallflower novels

    Berlin Atomized begins in Buenos Aires of the early 2000s with the self-baptisms of Nina Goldstein. She bathes too frequently, washing with fervor and repeating: "I am not asleep." She grows up partying and taking undeserved siestas, while her eldest brother Jeremías is drawn into the city's powder keg music scene, and the middle sibling, Mateo, learns of his terminal illness and prepares to join the IDF. Though Argentina faces the worst economic crisis in its history, the Goldsteins are being reared in a newly developed gated community that displaces working class families. Each sibling rehearses their escape from the capitalist Eden of their birth, unaware that the gated community will soon be underwater, and their family scattered all over the earth. 
 
 
 
The second half of the novel takes place between 2018 and 2035, imagining possible futures for this existence in migration. Jeremías lives in Paris until an undeclared war destroys the city, and Nina, after tracing Mateo's last steps to his death in Tel Aviv, ends up in Berlin, where the European Union is found in the shambles of its own history. The novel progresses into a dire near future of constant flight and fire as the siblings search for one another. Berlin Atomized is Julia Kornberg's napalm-ic debut—a tale about the end of the world, as told by the youth to which that world had been promised.

    The Scientific Pioneer - When...

    Nelson S. Bond

    The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S. Bond is a clever and heartfelt story that captures the spirit of discovery—and the price that sometimes comes with it. First published in the golden age of science fiction, it tells of a man whose brilliant ideas and tireless curiosity push him to the edge of what science can explain. Bond balances humor and humility as he explores how genius can both uplift and isolate. It’s a story that feels as relevant today as it did decades ago—a reminder that progress often depends on dreamers willing to risk everything for an idea. 
Like many of Bond’s works, The Scientific Pioneer blends imagination with warmth. His characters aren’t distant heroes or villains but ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. Beneath the scientific speculation lies a deep respect for human creativity—the kind that builds rockets, invents machines, or simply dares to ask “what if?” 
Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author whose lively imagination helped shape early pulp and magazine science fiction. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he began his career as a journalist before becoming one of the most prolific short story writers of the 1930s and 1940s. His tales appeared in Amazing Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, and Blue Book, often featuring humor, irony, and unexpected twists. 
Bond was best known for his Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman series, which combined scientific ingenuity with playful comedy. Beyond science fiction, he wrote mysteries, fantasies, and radio and television scripts, proving equally adept in every medium he touched. Though he later turned to other work, his early stories remain bright examples of pulp-era storytelling—energetic, human, and filled with wonder at what the future might hold.
