SUMMIT BY HARRY FARTHING

the autumn of 1938, Germany’s reichsführer, Heinrich Himmler, is growing frustrated at the British using their regional power in India to block the passage of an SS expedition to Tibet. Determined to spite them, he plots to steal something the British hold dear and have failed for the seventh time that spring to achieve—a first summit of Mount Everest. Seventy years later, seasoned mountain guide Neil Quinn’s ninth visit to the top of the world’s highest mountain, this time in charge of the sixteen-year-old son of a Long Island billionaire, begins to unravel. As a desperate fight for their lives begins in the freezing air high above Tibet, Quinn stumbles across a clue to a story that challenges everything he thinks he knows about the great mountain. When the bitter aftermath of Quinn’s disastrous climb turns to violent tragedy in Kathmandu, his discovery pushes him into a relentless journey that takes him from the dangerous heights of Everest to the equally treacherous margins of a new Europe, where history hungers to repeat itself.

“Magnificent! A compelling, fast-paced novel that reveals a rarely seen dark side of Everest. A must-read!” —JAMES W. HUSTON, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BLOOD FLAG

“A gripper. Takes you up to the majesty of Mt. Everest and into the single-minded ‘madness’ of climbers…what a plot. Fantastic.” —SIR ROBERT SWAN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ANTARCTICA 2041 AND FIRST PERSON TO WALK TO THE SOUTH AND NORTH POLES

The Hell Divers Trilogy, Book 1

BY NICHOLAS SANSBURY SMITH

ore than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers—men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need. When one of the remaining airships is damaged in an electrical storm, a Hell Diver team is deployed to a hostile zone called Hades. But there’s something down there far worse than the mutated creatures discovered on dives in the past—something that threatens the fragile future of humanity.

SUBJECT 375 THE PROJECT TRILOGY, BOOK 1

BY NIKKI OWEN

lastic surgeon Dr. Maria Martinez has Asperger’s. Convicted of killing a priest, she is alone in prison and has no memory of the murder. DNA evidence places Maria at the scene of the crime, yet she claims she’s innocent. Then she starts to remember: a strange room, strange people, being watched. As Maria gets closer to the truth, she is drawn into a web of international intrigue and must fight not only to clear her name but to remain alive. With a protagonist as original as The Bridge’s Saga Norén, part one in the Project trilogy is as addictive as the Bourne novels.

BY DECLAN POWER

he men of A Company, Th irty-Fifth Irish Infantry Battalion, arrived in the Congo as a United Nations contingent to help keep the peace. For many it would be their fi rst trip outside their native shores. Led by Commandant Pat Quinlan, A Company found themselves tasked with protecting the European population at Jadotville, a small mining town in the southern Congolese province of Katanga. It fell to A Company to protect those who would later turn against them, and on September 13th, 1961, the bright morning air of Jadotville was shattered by the sound of automatic gunfi re. Though cut off and surrounded, the men of Jadotville held their ground and fought.

13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl By Mona Awad Read by Jorjeana Marie A darkly funny, deeply resonant, and exquisitely written literary debut, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl is the story of one woman’s journey from fat adolescence to an ex-fat adulthood, as she seeks love and acceptance from everyone except herself.

“You’ll want to grab a friend and say: ‘Whoa. This. Exactly.’”

—Washington Post

Lizzie has never liked the way she looks. She starts dating guys online, but she’s afraid to send pictures: she knows no one would want her if they could really see her. So she starts to lose weight. With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection. No matter how much she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? A brilliant, hilarious, and at times shocking debut that skewers the body image–obsessed culture, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl delivers a tender and moving depiction of a lovably difficult young woman whose life is hijacked by her struggle to conform. MONA AWAD was born in Montreal and has lived in the US on and off since 2003. A graduate of York University in Toronto, she received her MFA in fiction from Brown University and her MScR in English literature from the University of Edinburgh, where she wrote her dissertation on fear and the fairy tale. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney’s, The Walrus, Joyland, Post Road, St. Petersburg Review, and elsewhere.

On May 19, 1942, a U-boat in the Gulf of Mexico stalked its prey fifty miles away from New Orleans. Captained by twenty-nine-year-old Erich Würdemann, the submarine set its sights on the freighter Heredia. Most of the crew were merchant seamen, but there were also a handful of civilians, including the Downs family, consisting of the parents, Ray Sr. and Ina, along with their two children, eight-year-old Ray Jr., nicknamed “Sonny,” and eleven-year-old Lucille. When the ship exploded, Ina and Lucille became separated from Ray Sr. and Sonny. An inspiring historical narrative, So Close to Home tells the story of the Downs family as they struggle to survive the aftermath of this deadly attack off the American coast.

Dirty Girl The Dirty Girl Duet, Book 1 By Meghan March Read by Elena Wolfe and Sebastian York

Desperately seeking rich, famous, single guy with a giant cock to make my lying, cheating, should’ve-been-born-dickless ex-boyfriend realize what he’s just lost. Oh, and I give great head. Just sayin’. No man in his right mind would answer that ad. Except thousands did. My name is Greer Karas, and I should never be allowed near another bottle of booze again. Because when I drink, my friend and I do stupid things. Like take a page out of my older brother Creighton’s playbook and post something completely asinine on the Internet. Waking up with a giant hangover to find my humiliating personal ad has gone viral is not my finest moment. Cue my look of shock when one of Hollywood’s hottest new bad boys, Cavanaugh Westman, comes knocking at my door and drops his pants to prove that he does indeed have a giant cock. What he doesn’t have is an explanation for why he disappeared from my life without a word three years ago, only to show up on the big screen two years later, killing bad guys in action flicks. And now he wants me again. What the hell do I do now?

The Lonely City Adventures in the Art of Being Alone By Olivia Laing Reader to be announced An expertly crafted work of reportage, memoir, and biography on the subject of loneliness told through the lives of six iconic artists, by the acclaimed author of The Trip to Echo Spring.

“Laing…picks up the topic of painful urban isolation and sets it down in many smart and oddly consoling places. She makes the topic her own.”

(MAY NOT BE FINAL ART)

—New York Times

“An impressive and beguiling combination of autobiography and biography, a balancing act that Laing effortlessly performs.”

—Elle

“Exquisite…Laing has taken a painful spell in her life and turned it into a book of extraordinary compassion and insight.”

—San Francisco Chronicle

There is a particular flavor to the loneliness that comes from living in a city. The Lonely City is a roving cultural history of urban loneliness, centered on the ultimate city: Manhattan, that teeming island of gneiss, concrete, and glass. What does it mean to be lonely? How do we live, if we’re not intimately involved with another human being? Olivia Laing explores these questions by traveling deep into the work and lives of some of the century’s most original artists, among them Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz, Edward Hopper, Henry Darger, and Klaus Nomi. Part memoir, part biography, part dazzling work of cultural criticism, The Lonely City is not just a map, but a celebration of the state of loneliness.

The Lost begins as the story of a boy whose family was haunted by the disappearance of relatives during the Holocaust. Decades later, spurred by the discovery of a cache of desperate letters written to his grandfather in 1939 and tantalized by fragmentary tales of a terrible betrayal, Daniel Mendelsohn sets out to find the remaining eyewitnesses to his relatives’ fates. That quest takes him to a dozen countries on four continents and forces him to confront the wrenching discrepancies between the histories we live and the stories we tell. And it finally leads him back to the small Ukrainian town where his family’s story began and where the decades-old mystery is solved. DANIEL MENDELSOHN, a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books and the New Yorker, is the author of the New York Times and international bestseller The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million. He teaches at Bard College in New York.

“Only an immensely promising young writer could bestow such grace on such troubled characters.”

Lions is set on the high plains of Colorado, a nearly deserted place, steeped in local legends and sparse in population. The Walkers have been settled on its barren terrain for generations—a simple family in a town otherwise still taken in by stories of bigger, better, brighter. When a traveling stranger appears one day, his unsettling presence sets off a chain reaction that will change the fates of everyone he encounters, beginning with the Walkers. A story of awakening, Lions is an exquisite novel that explores ambition and an American obsession with selfimprovement, the responsibilities we have to ourselves and each other, and the everyday illusions that pass for a life worth living.

—Huffington Post

“Multi-faceted, layered, intense, alive—if you read only one crime novel this year, this should be the one.”

—Sara J. Henry, Anthony Award–winning author of A Cold and Lonely Place

“Elegiac and wistful, it is a lyrical mystery…with a deep, wounded heart. Read it.”

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

In the summer of 1986, two tragedies rocked Oklahoma City. Six movietheater employees were killed in an armed robbery, while one inexplicably survived. Then, a teenage girl vanished from the annual state fair. Twenty-five years later, the reverberations of those unsolved cases quietly echo through the survivors’ lives. As a private investigator Wyatt’s latest inquiry takes him back to a past he’s tried to escape. Like Wyatt, Julianna struggles with the past—with the day her sister Genevieve disappeared. When Julianna discovers that one of the original suspects has resurfaced, she’ll stop at nothing to find answers. Even if they find the truth, will it help them understand what happened, that long and faraway gone summer?

Absalom’s Daughters A Novel By Suzanne Feldman Reader to be announced Two half sisters, one black and one white, embark on a risky road trip through the 1950s Jim Crow South in this spellbinding story of identity and race.

“Sharp-eyed and witty, Absalom’s Daughters is a delightful recipe consisting of one part girls’ road trip, one part family saga, and one part good old-fashioned Southern yarn. The path from Mississippi to Virginia is full of danger and Jim Crow bigotry, but Cassie and Judith are the perfect heroines to take it on. An absorbing read, full of heart!”

—Suzanne Rindell, author of The Other Typist

Self-educated and brown skinned, Cassie works in her grandmother’s laundry in rural Mississippi. Illiterate and white, Judith dreams of life as a big-city radio star. These teenaged girls are half sisters. And when they catch wind of their wayward father’s inheritance coming down in Virginia, they decide to claim what’s rightly theirs. In an old junker of a car, with a frying pan, a ham, and a few dollars hidden in a shoe, they set off through the American Deep South of the 1950s, a bewitchingly beautiful landscape as well as one bedeviled by racial striving and violence. Like Thelma & Louise meets God Help the Child, this is an unforgettable comingof-age story.

In sixteenth-century Germany, thousands of peasants revolt against harsh treatment by their aristocratic overlords. Agnes, daughter of one such overlord, is not a typical sixteenth-century girl. She refuses to wear dresses and spends more time with her pet falcon than in attracting suitors. In fact, there is only one man who interests her: childhood friend Mathis, whom she can never marry because of his lowly birth. Things change when a rogue knight attacks Agnes, Mathis shoots him to save her life, and the two go on the run together, into the midst of the raging peasants’ war. Then Agnes’ falcon finds a mysterious ring, and she begins having strange dreams that lead the two to revelations about their place in the world and in the emerging German states.

First the birds disappeared, and the insects took over. Then the madness began. They call it Wanderer’s Folly—a disease of delusions, of daydreams and nightmares. A plague threatening to wipe out the human race. After two years of creeping decay, David Arlen woke up one morning thinking that the worst was over. By midnight, he’s bleeding and terrified, his wife is dead, and he’s on the run in a stolen car with his eight-year-old daughter, who may be the key to a cure. Ellie is a special girl—deep, insightful—and she knows David is lying to her. Lying about her mother. Lying about what they’re running from. And lying about what he sees when he takes his eyes off the road. RONALD MALFI is an award-winning author of several horror novels, mysteries, and thrillers. In 2009 his crime drama Shamrock Alley won a Silver IPPY Award. In 2011 his ghost story/mystery novel Floating Staircase was nominated by the Horror Writers Association for best novel and won a Gold IPPY Award for best horror novel.

“Thoroughly brave, unsparingly clear-eyed, and absolutely entertaining.”

“Cashill and Sanders’ reconstruction of the investigation into the July 1996 explosion of TWA Flight 800 is a real page-turner.”

—Publishers Weekly on First Strike

TWA Flight 800 crashed into the Atlantic shortly after takeoff from JFK Airport on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 passengers on board.

But skeptics have long questioned the official story, and new evidence has surfaced that suggests a widespread conspiracy. In TWA 800, historian Jack Cashill introduces new documents and testimonies that reveal the shocking true chain of events, from the disastrous crash to the high-level decision to create a cover story and the attempts to silence anyone who dared speak the truth. JACK CASHILL is a weekly contributor to WorldNetDaily and the executive editor of Ingram’s. He has written for Fortune, the Washington Post, the Weekly Standard, and the Wall Street Journal.

Striking Distance Bruce Lee and the Dawn of Martial Arts in America By Charles Russo Reader to be announced Drawing on more than one hundred original interviews and an eclectic array of sources, Striking Distance is an engrossing narrative chronicling San Francisco Bay’s pioneering martial arts scene as it thrived in the early 1960s. In the spring of 1959, eighteen-year-old Bruce Lee returned to San Francisco, the city of his birth. Regarded by some as a loudmouth and by others as a dynamic visionary, Bruce spent his first few years back in America advocating a more modern approach to the martial arts and showing little regard for the damaged egos left in his wake. In 1964 Bruce would broadcast his dissenting view before the first great international martial arts gathering and then defend it by facing down Chinatown’s young ace kung fu practitioner in a legendary behind-closed-doors showdown. The Year of the Green Dragon saw the dawn of martial arts in America and the rise of an icon. CHARLES RUSSO is an award-winning journalist who lives in San Francisco.

Three weeks ago Danny Lynch was gainfully employed and doing fine. Now he’s back in New York City and lucky to be employed at all, even if that means dicing carrots for ten hours a day. The job’s one saving grace is a sight line from his station in the kitchen to a corner table in the main room. For Danny this is a window into the lives of Barcadero’s flashy clientele—which, he soon discovers, includes a man who happens to look exactly like him. Teddy Trager is a young venture capitalist, the visionary founder of billion-dollar investment firm Paradime Capital. He has everything Danny never knew he wanted—and the closer Danny looks at Trager, the more fixated he becomes. ALAN GLYNN is a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin. His first novel, The Dark Fields, was released as the movie Limitless in 2011. His other novels include Bloodland, Winterland, and Graveland. Glynn lives in Ireland with his wife.

“Earns the word epic from its very first page.”

Idealistic, foolhardy Morten Falck is a newly ordained priest sailing to Greenland in 1787 to convert the Inuit to the Danish church. He’s rejected the prospect of a sleepy posting in a local parish and instead departs for the forsaken Sukkertoppen colony, where he will endeavor to convert the locals. A town battered by unremittingly harsh winters and simmering with the threat of dissent, it is a far cry from the parish he envisioned. Bumbling and woefully ill prepared, Falck confronts this new sect. Torn between his compassion for the rebel congregation perched atop Eternal Fjord and his duty to the church, he is forced to decide where he belongs.

America has two banking systems: one serving the well-to-do and another exploiting the rest. The author reveals how a significant portion of the population, deserted by banks, is forced to use payday lenders and check-cashing services, thanks to 1970s deregulation. In an age of megabanks with trillions in assets, it’s easy to forget that US banks were created as a public service to issue low-interest loans. But as they grew in size and influence, banks abandoned less profitable customers for wealthier clients and high-yield investments. Baradaran’s solution to level the financial field: revive the US Post Office’s historic function of providing bank services. MEHRSA BARADARAN is an associate professor at the University of Georgia School of Law.

But as she quickly discovered, the conspiracies of the city run much deeper. And a dangerous new covert mission leaves Joy with a target on her back once more. Joy desperately seeks answers to figure out who her real enemies are before she and everyone she cares about are locked into an all-out war.

On an average day in America, seven young people aged nineteen or under will be shot dead.

What emerges in these pages is a searing portrait of youth, family, and the way that lives can be shattered in an instant on any day in America.

M is a magician of modest wit, dim ability, and few scruples, who would prefer to spend his easy immortality drinking artisanal beer and making eyes at smiling women. Alas, in the infinite nexus of the universe that is New York City, equilibrium is no easy thing to maintain. Canal pirates, drug-induced divinities, pocket steam-punk universes, hipster zombies, ex-girlfriends, and the devil are all taken in easy stride—but when the city’s uneasy dual monarchy threatens to break into outright war, it will take all of M’s cleverness to keep the capital of existence from going the way of Atlantis. He might even have to get out of bed before noon. DANIEL POLANSKY is the author of the Low Town trilogy, which won the Prix Imaginales, was short-listed for the Arthur C.

ZEROVILLE IN THEATERS 2016 Directed by James Franco, starring Megan Fox and Seth Rogen LONDON FIELDS

ZEROVILLE

by Martin Amis Read by Steven Pacey

A Novel By Steve Erickson Read by Bronson Pinchot

The murderee is Nicola Six, a “black hole” of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife, or the rich and honorable Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London— and indeed the whole world—seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.

A film-obsessed ex-seminarian with images of Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift tattooed on his head arrives on Hollywood Boulevard in 1969. Vikar Jerome enters the vortex of a cultural transformation: rock and roll, sex, drugs, and—most important to him—the decline of the movie studios and the rise of independent directors.
