Sinopse

From the author of The Inland Sea comes a stunning new novel about a couple's road trip through the American desert for fans of Valeria Luiselli's The Lost Children Archive and Rachel Cusk.
'Tremendously moving' Leslie Jamison
'Enormously impressive' Guardian
Eloise has known two great loves: her husband, Lewis, and the desert. Together, they set off on an unforgettable road trip through the American Southwest, passing vast canyons, glittering casinos and motels fallen into decay.
As Eloise documents the disappearing Colorado River, Lewis grieves his mother in the prickly terrain of his upbringing. Surrounded by loss, they cherish the miracle of having found each other, but each harbours a secret, driving them towards a destination neither is ready to face.
Haunting and richly atmospheric, this is a story about whether it's ever possible to truly know those closest to us, and an elegy for a land running dry.

    FINAL STRAW 
    Dishing out bad news is Jackie Parker's job. So when her boss grabs her assets one time too many, she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it. There must be a better way for a certified process server to make a living in Miami than working for a lousy lecherous lawyer. Whatever Jackie decides, her number one priority is to spend time with her husband, Luke, preferably without his brother Logan - AKA the Dark Prince. 
    FINAL WARNING 
    Despite Logan's objections, Luke asks her to join forces in their own property management team, Damaged Goods. Drawing the line between professional and personal lives proves challenging, especially when Logan serves her an ultimatum - tell Luke the truth about what really happened the night they first met, or he will. Sexual harassment is looking better and better. 
    FINAL NOTICE 
    Fester Gomez is three months behind on the rent for his pricey South Beach condo and Damaged Goods is on the job. Either they convince the tenant to pay up or he'll face eviction.

Serving a killer up to justice, wrestling family secrets - it's just another day on the job for Damaged Goods.

    Hidden powers. Mind numbing geometry. But is it reality or illusion? 
     
    One year after the world's first space elevator ascent, a new megastructure is taking shape high above the equator.

    Down on the surface, Sahalie Spark carries a secret. At first glance, it's an ordinary glass prism that splits light into colors.

Whatever powers this prism holds will remain hidden until she makes a second ascent. 
     
    Materials scientist Adam Estrada has his own problem. How is a three-dimensional container larger on the inside than on the outside? He's crafting an experiment to find out, but it will require cooperation from an alien who weaves exotic carbon allotropes like Nana knits baby socks.

    In a history where war's darkness intertwines with ancient terrors, John Cody and the soldiers by his side, fight a hopeless battle across a darkened 1940's Europe. What begins as a quest to liberate a fallen world quickly reveals an even deeper nightmare: towns and cities swallowed by silence, histories erased, and an unearthly presence lurking in the void. 
    Beneath the horrors of war, a more terrifying question looms: if God be for us, then who, or what, be against us? In this realm of unfathomable darkness, Cody must confront forces beyond mortal comprehension, fighting not just for survival, but for the very soul of mankind itself. 
    In this haunting convergence of war, horror, and human resilience, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. To stave off the fall of man, he must unravel the darkness, before it devours everything. 
    "A soul-shattering journey into ancient, celestial terror and a haunting twist on mankind's darkest moments." Adrian B - Independent Reviewer.

While pondering how to fit through the door, she discovers a bottle labelled "Drink me". Alice drinks some of the bottle's contents, and to her astonishment, she shrinks small enough to enter the door. However, she had left the key upon the table and cannot reach it. Alice then discovers and eats a cake labelled "Eat me", which causes her to grow to a tremendous size.

    1792. Nantucket whalers are invited to found the port of Milford Haven in Wales. What does the arrival of these hardy Quakers – immigrants to America a century before – mean for the local people? And what is the meaning of the beached whale that preceded them? Two cultures rub against each other and distrust grows, driven by the local preacher. As Whaling unfolds concern swerves into hysteria against the incomers and the preacher plans a grotesque, Jonah-inspired fate for the whalers. 
    Nathan Munday's debut novel is an exciting mélange of original fiction, historical writing and whaling images. In it he explores our relationship with the natural world, the boundary between faith and superstition, and the age old problem of immigration. Set in historical fact this is a narrative at once modern and contemporaneous, the writing rich in imagery and deceptively tense as its story slides into allegory.

    Saving the Boxer - A Wounded Men...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  Silas Warner is a flighty sort of fellow, a butterfly in his attire and his jumps from one man to the next. But there’s something about boxer Ezra Curiel—first his incredible body, and then his emotional depth—that delivers a knockout punch to Silas’s heart. 
     
    But can love thrive between two men with such different backgrounds—a poor clerk from the English countryside and a French-born pugilist who has achieved fame and fortune as the Hammering Hebrew? 
     
    Their romance is tested when Ezra is arrested for murder. But Silas and his friends know Ezra must be innocent, because he was in their presence at a soirée at Ormond Yard as the murder was committed. 
     
    Can Silas gather the talents of the men of Ormond Yard to prove Ezra’s innocence? Or in the process will they ruin his reputation, and subject him and Silas to prison for sodomy? 
     
    Saving the Boxer is a tale of two wounded men finding each other and fighting for their true love match in a restrictive society. It is a 65,000 word story of found family, the warmth of accepting strays, and triumph over adversaries. Though it’s third in the Ormond Yard series of historical romances, it can easily be read as a standalone.
