  War is hell, and the conflict tearing the world apart may be humankind's last. Set adrift on a makeshift raft in the middle of the South Pacific, the sole survivor of a sabotaged space-shuttle flight, undersecretary of state Calvert Roberts is certain his life is coming to an end. But fate intervenes, depositing him dehydrated and half starved on the beach of an uncharted island with a giant M etched into a cliff wall. At first it appears to be paradise, but Eden has a dark side: Here, Dr. Mortimer Dart is playing God. A genius geneticist who is certifiably mad, he is called Master by the unspeakable creations of his predecessor—monstrous creatures, neither human nor animal but some nightmarish hybrid. Yet as horrible as the stranded government official finds these abominations, it is the truth behind Dart's experiments that chill Roberts's blood—for it will open wide a window onto an inescapable future of emptiness, ashes, and death. 
   
   
    
  One of twentieth-century science fiction's brightest luminaries, Brian W. Aldiss pays homage to one of the genre's most beloved progenitors, H. G. Wells, author of The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and other classics. An Island Called Moreau is a gripping near-future tale of inhuman experimentation, dystopia, morality, war, and mad science that honors and updates Wells's masterwork, The Island of Doctor Moreau.

  Fresh off their triumph at the Hampton House, Mandie Kelton, Alicia Halverson, and Suzette Paxman take on their next challenge—restoring a historic yacht club and the abandoned yacht docked there. With their Flatiron office closing, this project isn’t just another job; it’s a turning point in their careers and personal lives. 
  Mandie thought the hardest part of her year was behind her, but when her boss, Candace Ewing, unveils their next project—The Amaranth, a once-glorious yacht owned by reclusive shipping magnate Bradley Short—she realizes the past still holds surprises.  
  Alicia, now Assistant Director at PastForward, finds herself at a crossroads—juggling co-parenting, growing feelings for Henry, and increasing responsibilities at work. With stakes rising at the yacht club, she must decide where her loyalties lie. 
  Suzie, stepping into an unfamiliar leadership role, uncovers hidden compartments and family secrets aboard The Amaranth that forge an unexpected connection. At the same time, a charming historian enters her life, sparking a romance she never saw coming. 
  And Candace, the enigmatic director of PastForward, harbors a secret tie to The Amaranth. While she tells her team the project is just another opportunity to cement the company’s reputation, her real motivations are far more personal—especially when a young woman appears, claiming to be her biological daughter. 
  As the team works to restore the yacht club and The Amaranth to their former glory, they realize they’re not just restoring a piece of history—they’re piecing together fragments of their own lives, hearts, and identities. The Amaranth is a mirror, reflecting their deepest fears and highest hopes, and it challenges them to face what’s been hidden in their own lives...

Marlene Sugden is a secretary working in London whose life has changed very much for the worse in a few months.

  "This novel about hunting an escapee from Stalinist gulag reads like a Siberian Heart of Darkness."—​Julian BarnesOn the far eastern borders of the Soviet Union, in the sunset of Stalin’s reign, soldiers are training for a war that could end all wars, for in the atomic age man has sown the seeds of his own destruction.Among them is Pavel Gartsev, a reservist. Orphaned, scarred by the last great war and unlucky in love, he is an instant victim for the apparatchiks and ambitious careerists who thrive within the Red Army’s ranks.Assigned to a search party composed of regulars and reservists, charged with the recapture of an escaped prisoner from a nearby gulag, Gartsev finds himself one of an unlikely quintet of cynics, sadists, and heroes, embarked on a challenging manhunt through the Siberian taiga.But the fugitive, capable, cunning, and evidently at home in the depths of these vast forests, proves no easy prey. As the pursuit goes on, and the pursuers are struck by a shattering discovery, Gartsev confronts both the worst within himself and the tantalizing prospect of another, totally different life.
