Beschreibung

"For more than twenty-five years Luke Darr had been married to a cold, domineering woman who had ignored him and taken over his sons—John the realist, Matt the reckless, and sensitive Mark. Now she is dead and Luke has married young Bess Valentine and brought her back to what for the first time he feels is truly his own house and farm. Luke imagines that his marriage will make him a new man—he will have children that are truly his and for the greater glory of God (and Luke) he will build the town a new church. But Luke is forced to become a new man by methods not of his own choosing—the alienation of his wife and sons and Mark’s suicide lead him to a true understanding of himself and an acceptance of God." —Kirkus Reviews

    I thought arranged marriages died a few centuries ago. 
    Apparently, my father didn’t get the memo. 
    In three weeks I’m supposed to say I do to a man I’ve never met. 
    And the only way I see out of it? Marry someone else first. 
    The problem is I have one option on such short notice: 
    The jerk who shattered my heart.

    The post-apocalyptic love child of Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy
    		 
    Ten years after the calamitous events set in motion by Dylan Cleary in his attempt to bring George Cleary’s last novel to life, Deacon Riis has settled back into the rather sedate life of a small-town reporter. That is, until he’s invited to a New Year’s Eve Party by Dylan’s sister Crystal, who’s now a successful writer/producer behind a wildly popular horror movie franchise and for her next big budget slasher flick she’s chosen to adapt one of her grandfather’s apocalyptic thrillers.
    		 
    On the drive up to his sister’s retreat in northern Ontario, Deacon receives a text that reads, It has begun again. D. True to his word, Dylan is even then orchestrating an apparently random and increasingly savage series of attacks culled from his grandfather’s last fiction and Deacon’s only hope of avoiding a similar climax as the one that saw much of Mesaquakee reduced to ash will be to go all-in like Dylan, even if it means sacrificing everything he holds dear.

    Wernher von Braun, reluctant Nazi, personal friend of President Lyndon Johnson, and master builder of the Saturn V rocket, is on the verge of seeing his lifelong dream fulfilled as he joins to the crew of Apollo XX on mankind’s last visit to the Moon. All his life has been a struggle to get to this moment: surviving Allied bombing, uncomfortable accommodations with the SS, anti-German sentiment in post-war America, and the march of time itself—is he finally just too old to join the astronaut corps? On the moon, von Braun will reach the pinnacle of his professional life but there he also desperately hopes to exorcise demons from his past. 
    Landing men on the moon? Why bother? And, precariously, inside the bowels of Copernicus crater? Crazy? Impossible? And the men and women dedicated to this exploit? What to call them but Lunatics. 
    Two other voices play large roles in telling von Braun’s story: Mission Commander, Alan Bean, the only artist among the corps who hopes to capture the true essence of what it means to step on the moon. What it really looks like, feels like. Because if he doesn’t do it, who ever will? 
      
    The final voice belongs to fellow astronaut, Deke Slayton, a no-nonsense test pilot interested in neither science nor art. His mantra during the mission will be “don’t screw up”.

    At Eden University, where prestige and power reign, Eve Mason does her best to go unnoticed by the elites. A scholarship student with a haunting past, she keeps to herself, always in the background. Unfortunately, Eve's quiet world shatters the moment she inadvertently crosses paths with a dark stranger. This brooding, enigmatic figure has secrets and demons of his own and Eve knows she should stay as far removed from his dark depths as she can. 
    This stranger rules in the world of privilege, but he's drawn to Eve in ways that even he can't explain. Beneath his cold exterior lies a man with a history far darker than anyone could imagine, and he recognizes the same inky darkness in Eve. 
    As their mysterious attraction grows, so does the tension. Dark pasts, long held bonds, and evil intent collide when everyone seems to have something to hide. Eve's tenuous relationship spirals into something both thrilling and toxic as they find themselves caught in a game far more dangerous than either anticipated. 
    But in a place where everyone has a dark side and no one can be trusted, can Eve and the stranger figure out who the real villains are? Or will their own pasts destroy them before they can unravel the truth?
