Sinossi

This thriller “weaves together historical strands, contemporary killers, and the feats of [an elite police team] in a gripping, tense, and exciting climax.” —Hellnotes   A war criminal and the head of Japan’s organized crime, Genjo Tokuda wants nothing more than to avenge the murder of his family during the WWII bombing of Hiroshima. He has waited more than fifty years to enact his plan to kill the family of the surviving American airman responsible for the attack. When his prey is invited to speak at a convention for Pacific War Vets in Vancouver, he knows his opportunity for revenge has finally arrived.   Corporal Jackie Hett of the Special X team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will do anything to protect her grandfather, a crewman of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. It’s up to her and her fellow Mounties to put a stop to the all-powerful samurai gangster before he strikes.   “A virtuoso breakout by Slade.” —Jack Whyte, bestselling author of the Camulod Chronicles   “With its strong emotional resonance, Kamikaze is a passionate indictment of the lies of wartime. It’s intense, and easily capable of keeping a reader up into the wee hours.” —The Vancouver Sun   “Slade is all about procedure, feeding our endless appetite for the inner workings of the police. . . . War itself comes off as the most murderous of serial killers.” —The Georgia Straight

Square³

Mira Grant

We think we understand the laws of physics. 
 
 
 
We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong. 
 
 
 
When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened. 
 
 
 
For sisters Susan and Katharine Black, the day of the incursion was the day they lost everything. Their home, their parents, their sense of normalcy . . . and each other, because when the rift opened, each sister was stranded in a separate form of reality. For Susan, it was science and study and the struggle to solve the mystery of the altered physics inside the zones transformed by the incursion. For Katharine, it was monsters and mayhem and the fight to stay alive in a world unlike the world of her birth. 
 
 
 
The world has changed. The laws of physics have changed. The girls have changed. And the one universal truth of all states of changed matter is that nothing can be completely restored to what it was originally, no matter how much you might wish it could be. 
 
 
 
Nothing goes back.

Ferociously funny and deeply moving, Mother Doll forces us to look at how painful secrets stamp themselves from one generation to the next. Katya Apekina's second novel is a family epic and a meditation on motherhood, immigration, identity, and war.
