  When reporter Joe Dunn wakes atop the RCA Building after a violent storm, he expects the noise and pulse of Manhattan below. Instead, he finds a city without motion, sound, or people—an entire world halted in a single moment of time. As he wanders through silent streets, deserted buildings, and motionless rivers, he becomes convinced he may be the last man left alive. But everything changes when he discovers that he isn’t alone, and that the truth behind the frozen world may lie in the cryptic warnings of a strange man he once interviewed in New Jersey. 
  The Last Man in New York unfolds as an atmospheric, thoughtful tale of isolation, unexpected companionship, and cosmic bookkeeping gone awry. Paul MacNamara blends urban eeriness with an imaginative twist, turning a familiar metropolis into a haunting landscape of stillness and unanswered questions. 
  Paul MacNamara was a mid-century science-fiction writer known for his strong character voices and unexpected story turns. Writing during an era when magazines were the heart of the genre, he contributed memorable tales that blended humor, suspense, and big-idea speculation. His works often reflected the anxieties and aspirations of the postwar world, grounding cosmic possibilities in recognizable human emotions. 
  Though less widely known today, MacNamara’s stories remain a window into the era’s inventive spirit. His writing continues to intrigue listeners and readers who enjoy imaginative storytelling with a playful but unsettling edge.

  We can't tell you who we are.  Or where we live.  It's too risky, and we've got to be careful.  Really careful.  So we don't trust anyone.  Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble.  Yeah.  Even you.Jake seems to have grown up overnight–literally. When he went to asleep he was his usual kid-self, and when he woke up, about ten years had flown by! What's worse, the Yeerk invasion of Earth has succeeded. The newly-adult Jake searches for Ax and the other Animorphs to find a way out of the horrific future–but he soon learns they won't be much help. They've all been killed or infested.Luckily, Jake locates Cassie, who's part of a human-yeerk conspiracy movement to brutally conquer earth. When he attempts to help Cassie's rebel group though, he's captured by the new Visser Three. And now it looks like Jake's fate has been sealed. Because not only is the new visser more powerful than the old one, he also has a smart, cunning host armed with intimate knowledge of how the Animorphs fight. Marco.It all seems too horrible to be true. And there are things that just don't add up. That's when Jake begins to wonder if it's all just a really bad dream. Because if it is, he'll wake up and things will be back to "normal." If not, Jake is as good as dead....

  Time-traveling twins chase time's greatest villain—and a shocking family mystery—to Ancient Egypt in this high stakes, hilarious, and action-packed thrill ride from #1 bestselling author James Patterson.   Orphans Pew and Basket Church managed to escape (barely) the clutches of time’s greatest villain and dash his hopes of world domination (he didn’t take too kindly to that). Even more shocking than discovering they can travel through time (and have a mission to protect it)? It turns out the Church family treasure their enigmatic time-traveling parents left behind is actually a long-lost, much-wished for relative.   The twins follow clues and riddles to Ancient Egypt—and land right in the middle of a deadly power struggle between Cleopatra and her brother, Ptolemy. To save their new friends and preserve history, the twins will need to solve riddles and thwart the dastardly Pirate Macaulay’s evil plans. If they manage to survive, they just might find the one treasure more precious and elusive to them than anything: family.   Adventure, mystery, history, and humor collide in this rollicking, rip-roaring caper from the world’s favorite storyteller.
