Sinopsis

In "The Quest of Lee Garrison," Max Brand masterfully weaves a tale of adventure and self-discovery amidst the rugged backdrop of the American West. The narrative follows Lee Garrison, a complex protagonist torn between duty and desire as he navigates treacherous landscapes both literal and emotional. Brand's vivid descriptions and taut dialogue reveal a deft literary style, interspersed with philosophical musings that echo the existential quests prevalent in early 20th-century American literature. As Garrison encounters a mix of morally ambiguous characters, the novel serves as a profound exploration of personal agency and the inexorable pull of destiny. Max Brand, born Frederick Schiller Faust, was an influential figure in the Western genre, known for his exceptional ability to blend thrilling plots with deep psychological insights. His rich background in journalism and diverse experiences during his time as a soldier and later as a screenwriter informed not only his craftsmanship but also instilled in him a keen understanding of the human condition. "The Quest of Lee Garrison" reflects both his adventurous spirit and his yearning to probe the complexities of a man facing his inner demons in a lawless land. I highly recommend "The Quest of Lee Garrison" to readers who seek an engrossing narrative that merges action with introspection. It will appeal to those enamored with Western lore as well as those longing for a philosophical exploration of identity and purpose. Brand's unique voice and compelling storytelling are sure to resonate with anyone searching for a profound yet thrilling literary experience.

Coldhearted Bastard

Jenika Snow

*Duet Narration*
He didn’t have a heart...but he wanted hers.
All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed.
I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive.
And then I saw her. She was a fragile little thing who tried to be strong. But I could tell she’d seen too much horror in the world, too much of the ugly within people. I should have stayed away. I’d only bring her further down into the darkness. But for the first time in my life, I felt a stirring in my chest, this protectiveness and possessiveness toward another living person. And it was painful. It made me feel alive.
Lina tried to hide how broken she was, but I was an old friend of being ruined. She held secrets I’d find out. Because for the first time in my miserable life, I wanted something for myself. I felt something more than apathy and indifference.
I wanted to possess the innocence she clung to. I wanted to break it open and consume it for myself. I could look into her too trusting blue eyes and knew I’d maim for her. I’d kill for her. And that became our truth when her past finally came back for her, when my present tried to destroy her.
They thought they could take the one thing - the only thing - I’d ever wanted for myself. They were wrong.
When I looked at her, I felt some of the monster that made me who I was retreat back to my black soul. He’d never leave...but he’d share the space.
For her.
A complete stand-alone novel in the Underworld Kings series.

Worlds

Joe Haldeman

By the close of the twenty-first century, almost half a million souls have already abandoned Earth to live in satellites orbiting the strife-ridden planet. Each of these forty-one Worlds is an independent entity boasting its own government and culture, yet each remains bound to the troubled home World by economic pressure. 
 
 
  
A brilliant student of political science born and raised in New New York, the largest of the orbiting Worlds, young Marianne O'Hara has never been to the surface but now has a golden opportunity to continue her studies far below her floating home of steel. Life on Earth, however, is very different from anything she has ever experienced. 
 
 
  
With power in the hands of a privileged few and unrest running rampant, the allure of radical politics might be too much for an idealistic and inexperienced young World dweller to resist. But even the best of intentions can have disastrous consequences, and Marianne soon finds herself unwittingly drawn into a wide-ranging conspiracy that could result in the total destruction of everything on Earth . . . and above.
