  On the Precipice

  Imperium, one of the most powerful societies in the universe, is on the brink of a generation-defining electoral cycle. Will Imperials continue to support the Expansionist Party, which favors annihilating their chief rival, the Core, through military measures, or will Imperials vote for the Affiliate Party, which favors weakening the Core through political pressure? 
  There are seven Lord Regents, each of whom oversees a particular sphere of influence. Moreover, each Lord Regent has their own Prophate, who acts as their religious adviser. Notably, some Prophates are content with their place in Imperial society, while others have ambitions that perhaps exceed their office . . . 
  Through strange circumstances, Raelynn Mabry, a recent graduate of the Keeper system, begins working for Levin Liston, the Lord Regent of Diplomacy and the leader of the Affiliate Party. Raelynn becomes embroiled in the political rivalry between Liston and Cyno Banner, the Lord Regent of War and Defense, the leader of the Expansionist Party, and the current Head of the Assembly. Liston is trying to negotiate an alliance with the Civitan, a power that has recently seceded from the Core, but this alliance is not exactly popular. Indeed, most Expansionists oppose it, as they question whether the Civitan, which had fought against Imperium during the decades-long Glass War, can be trusted. 
  The Expansionist Party and the Affiliate Party have disparate views of what kind of power Imperium should be in the universe. If the Expansionists win, then the status quo remains intact, but if the Affiliates win, then this signals a seismic shift in Imperial politics. As Imperium nears Election Day, choices are made, and alliances are drawn—or destroyed. The future of Imperium hangs in the balance, and the stakes have never been higher.

  “The greatest writer to have appeared in Latin America since the so-called ‘boom’ . . . I’m tempted to call Bolaño the love child of David Lynch and Jorge Luis Borges—he’s that visceral and erudite—but this wouldn’t do justice to his ambition.” —John Powers, NPR’s Fresh AirIn 1938 Paris, Monsieur Pierre Pain, a beleaguered mesmerist and a lonely bachelor, receives a telegram from his friend and unrequited love, Madame Reynaud: an acquaintance of hers lies in a hospital bed beset with a mysterious, and apparently terminal, case of the hiccups. She entreats Pain to use his peculiar skill set to cure him, and buoyed by her confidence, he agrees. But nothing about this case turns out to be ordinary, and soon Pain finds himself entangled in a dark and indecipherable sequence of events that sends him racing through the umbrous streets of Paris, lost and delirious. He attempts to visit the patient—none other than the exiled Peruvian poet César Vallejo—only to be barred from his bedside. He is stalked by a ghostly pair of men who emerge from the shadows to bribe him not to treat the poet. He encounters a former peer, now working across the border in war-torn Spain, whose career has taken a shockingly sinister turn, one which may explain this entire nightmare—or prove just another coincidence. A hypnotic and surreal noir, Roberto Bolaño’s Monsieur Pain takes us on a labyrinthine journey through conspiracy, occultism, and the unfathomable evil looming in our midst.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Brian Crossley has already walked through grief deeper than most men could bear—his girlfriend Savanna, his father, his mother’s fragile heart. But when a mysterious time-bending mission lands in his hands, grief becomes a weapon, and the past becomes a battlefield. 
  Armed with a list of names, Brian steps into a machine that can drop him into decades long gone. His task: stop murders before they happen. His price: the weight of killing killers. 
  The next name on the list is Sherry Brown, a young woman murdered during a 1963 robbery in Sevierville, Tennessee. Her death, for a mere $102 from a gas station register, was dismissed as another unsolved case, buried under dust and time. But Brian has seen the future. He knows that if Sherry dies, more lives will be claimed by the killers who walk away. Stopping them means rewriting history—and taking blood into his own hands. 
  Haunted by recurring visions, the ghost of Savanna, and the fragile thread of his father’s life, Brian must face not only two men who treat murder like a game, but also the crushing question of morality: does saving the innocent justify becoming a killer himself? 
  In this relentless journey of violence, sacrifice, and redemption, Brian learns that time doesn’t forgive mistakes—and every choice has a cost. 
  The Case of Sherry Brown is a gripping fusion of suspense and heartbreak, blending crime, time-travel, and the unbearable weight of second chances.
