—Washington Times on Throw Them All Out
In 2000, Bill and Hillary Clinton owed millions of dollars in legal debt. Since then, they’ve earned over $130 million. Where did the money come from? Most people assume that the Clintons amassed their wealth through lucrative book deals and high-six figure fees for speaking gigs. Now, Peter Schweizer shows who is really behind those enormous payments. He follows the Clinton money trail, revealing the connection between their personal fortune, their “close personal friends,” the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations, and some of the highest ranks of government.

In the Skin of a Jihadist A Young Journalist Enters the ISIS Recruitment Network By Anna Erelle Translated by Erin Potter Read by Kirsten Potter A young French journalist’s riveting and unprecedented look at how today’s most ruthless terrorists use social media and technology to reach disaffected youth—witnessed through the undercover investigation that led to her deep involvement with a key member of ISIS On Facebook, “Melodie,” a twenty-year-old convert to Islam, meets Bilel, a high-ranking militant for the Islamic State in Syria. The honey-tongued suitor promises the innocent, fatherless young girl a life of material comfort and spiritual purpose. But “Melodie” is actually Anna Erelle, a Parisian-based journalist investigating the recruitment channels of the Islamic State, whose digital propaganda constitutes one of its most formidable and frightening weapons. In the Skin of a Jihadistis helps us better understand the appeal of extremism—and how an Islamic militant attempts to brainwash, seduce, and manipulate a vulnerable young woman. ANNA ERELLE is the pseudonym of a thirtysomething French journalist who has written for major newspapers and magazines in France. In the Skin of a Jihadist is her first book.

The Cage By Megan Shepherd Read by Barrie Kreinik The Maze Runner meets Scott Westerfeld in this gripping new series about teens held captive in a human zoo by an otherworldly race.
“A brilliant, exciting tale of what it’s like to be human, even when all hope is lost. Shepherd perfectly contrasts freedom and entrapment, humanity and alien nature, loss and love.”
—Beth Revis, author of The Body Electric
“Swoon worthy and thrilling.”
—Kirkus Reviews
When Cora wakes in a desert, she doesn’t know where she is or who put her there. As she explores, she finds an impossible mix of environments, all watched over by eerie black windows. And she isn’t alone. Four other teenagers have also been taken: a model, a smuggler, a genius, and an army brat. None of them knows what happened, and all of them have secrets. They slowly start to trust each other, but when their mysterious jailer—a handsome young guard called Cassian—appears, they realize their captivity is more terrifying than they could ever imagine: their captors aren’t from Earth, and they have taken the teens for an otherworldly zoo—where the exhibits are humans. MEGAN SHEPHERD grew up in her family’s independent bookstore in North Carolina. An avid reader and world traveler who spent several years in the Peace Corps, she now lives with her husband in Asheville, North Carolina. Her novels include The Madman’s Daughter and Her Dark Curiosity.

Stalin’s Daughter The Extraordinary and Tumultuous Life of Svetlana Alliluyeva By Rosemary Sullivan Read by Karen Cass The award-winning author of Villa Air-Bel returns with a painstakingly researched, revelatory biography of Svetlana Stalin, daughter of Josef Stalin.
“A biography of haunting fascination…The author has illuminated another challenging, mercurial subject… The author manages suspense and intrigue at every turn.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Born in the early years of the Soviet Union, Svetlana Stalin spent her youth inside the walls of the Kremlin. Communist Party privilege protected her from the mass starvation and purges that haunted Russia, but she did not escape tragedy—like the loss of everyone she loved. As she gradually learned about the extent of her father’s brutality, Svetlana could no longer keep quiet and in 1967 shocked the world by defecting to the United States. But although she was never a part of her father’s regime, she could not escape his legacy. This revolutionary biography pieces together Svetlana’s incredible life in a masterful account of unprecedented intimacy. ROSEMARY SULLIVAN is the bestselling author of Labyrinth of Desire: Women, Passion, and Romantic Obsession and The Red Shoes: Margaret Atwood Starting Out. Her biography of Gwendolyn MacEwen, Shadow Maker, won the Governor General’s Literary Award for nonfiction. A poet and a professor of English at the University of Toronto, Rosemary lives in Toronto with her husband.

Combining covert military intelligence with boots-on-the-ground realism, Gray Work follows Jamie Smith through his CIA training and work as a spy in the State Department, to his co-founding of Blackwater following 9/11, to his decision to leave that company. JAMIE SMITH served in the US Army and the CIA before becoming a cofounder and VP of Blackwater Security. He started his own contracting company in 2002.

Drawing on her science background and interest in how the human brain works, Louisa Hall combines science and literary narrative in an intelligent and beautifully written novel in the vein of Alan Lightman’s Einstein’s Dreams and Martin Amis’ Time’s Arrow

The Storm of the Century Tragedy, Heroism, Survival, and the Epic True Story of America’s Deadliest Natural Disaster—the Great Gulf Hurricane of 1900 By Al Roker with William Hogeland Reader to be announced In this gripping narrative history, the beloved NBC weather personality vividly brings to life the Great Gulf Hurricane of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in American history.
“Focusing on the human experience of the storm… Roker follows survivors before, during, and after the hurricane in order to elucidate what people on Galveston Island encountered as the storm raged through the city…compelling work.”
—Library Journal
On the afternoon of September 8, 1900, two-hundred-mile-per-hour winds and fifteen-foot waves slammed into Galveston, Texas. By dawn the next day, when the storm had passed, the city that existed just hours before was gone. Grief-stricken survivors emerged to witness a level of destruction never before seen: eight thousand corpses littered the streets and were buried under the massive wreckage. Rushing water had lifted buildings from their foundations, while intense winds had upended girders and trestles, driving them through walls and into sidewalks. In less than twenty-four hours, one storm destroyed a major American metropolis—and awakened a nation to the terrifying power of nature. Al Roker brings this legendary disaster and its aftermath into brilliant focus.

Despite injuring his back, Kennedy—towing a severely burned sailor by the strap of a life jacket—led his battered and exhausted men on a harrowing three-and-one-half-mile swim to a tiny island chain. For six days they lived off coconuts and kept out of sight of passing Japanese patrols until they were rescued. Drawing on new information from the American rescuers and recently released archives in both Japan and the United States, PT-109 recounts this event in breathtaking detail.

Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe By Lisa Randall Reader to be announced Renowned particle physicist and bestselling author Lisa Randall uses her research into dark matter to illuminate the startling connections between the furthest reaches of space and life here on Earth.
“Written with dry wit and ice-cool clarity. A book anyone at all interested in science must read. Surely the science book of the year.”
—Sunday Times (London)
Sixty-six million years ago, an object the size of a city crashed into Earth, killing off the dinosaurs and three-quarters of other species on the planet. Lisa Randall proposes it was a comet dislodged from its orbit as the solar system passed through a disk of dark matter. In a sense, it might have been dark matter that killed the dinosaurs. In Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, renowned particle physicist Lisa Randall shares with us the latest findings regarding the nature and role of dark matter and the origin of the universe, our galaxy, our solar system, and life.

Being apprentice to ExtraOrdinary Wizard Septimus Heap is tricky, though— there’s loads of new Magyk to learn, and she dearly misses her friends Oskar and Ferdie.

She’s lucky she has—that UnSeen will come in handy when she sets out with Oskar and Ferdie on a perilous journey to retrieve the Egg of the Orm from the Desert of the Singing Sands. If they don’t reach the Egg before it hatches, the new baby Orm could imprint on the evil sorcerer OratonMarr, giving him unlimited Magyk. ANGIE SAGE was born in London and grew up in the Thames Valley, London, and Kent. She now lives in Somerset in a very old house that has a secret tunnel below it. She loves such spooky old houses, as well as the sea and medieval England. She has created many books for children, and the first six books in her Septimus Heap series are international bestsellers.

Modern science has proven that people behave and learn in distinctive ways. And yet these individual patterns get lost in our institutions of opportunity, which remain rooted in the belief that averages are good enough to understand individuals and identify their talents. Todd Rose, a pioneer in the field draws on the latest research to show how, when we focus on individual findings rather than group findings or averages, we can rethink the world and everyone’s potential in it. The End of Average reminds us that we are not anything close to average—because the average is a statistical myth—and presents a new way of understanding and maximizing everyone’s potential.

The Way Around A Life in Two Worlds By David Good Reader to be announced Rooted in two vastly different cultures, a young man struggles to understand himself, find his place in the world, and reconnect with his mother—and her remote tribe in the deepest jungles of the Amazon rainforest—in this powerful memoir that combines adventure, history, and anthropology. For much of his young life, David Good was torn between two vastly different worlds. The son of an American anthropologist and a tribeswoman from a distant part of the Amazon, it took him twenty years to embrace his identity, reunite with the mother who left him when he was six, and claim his heritage. In an amazing chronicle of self-discovery, Good writes sympathetically about his mother’s abandonment and the deleterious effect it had on his young self; of his rebellious teenage years marked by depression and drinking, and the near-fatal car accident that transformed him and gave him purpose to find a way back to his mother.

“The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty…puts much of today’s erotic fiction to shame with it’s super spicy heat level!”
(MAY NOT BE FINAL ART)
—RT Book Reviews
In the traditional folktale of “Sleeping Beauty,” the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind’s unconscious. Now Anne Rice’s retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the prince reawakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty’s complete and total enslavement to him. ANNE RICE was born and raised in New Orleans. Her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, was published in 1976 and has gone on to become part of one of the best-selling series of all time. She continued her saga of the Vampire Lestat in a series of books, collectively known as the Vampire Chronicles, which have had both great mainstream and cult followings. She has written more than thirty books.

Hubris The Tragedy of War in the Twentieth Century By Alistair Horne Reader to be announced The legendary historian and author of A Savage War of Peace and The Price of Glory distills a lifetime’s study to reflect on six critical battles that changed the course of the twentieth century.
“Brilliant and entertaining.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Seven Ages of Paris
“A rich, vigorously fresh study for history lovers.”
—Booklist on Seven Ages of Paris
Sir Alistair Horne has been a close observer of war and history for more than fifty years. In this wise and masterly work, he revisits six battles of the past century and examines the strategies, leadership, preparation, and geopolitical goals of aggressors and defenders, to reveal the one trait that links them all: hubris. In Greek tragedy, hubris is excessive human pride that challenges the gods and ultimately leads to downfall. From the Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War to Hitler’s 1940 invasion of Moscow to MacArthur’s disastrous advance in Korea, Horne shows how each of these battles was won or lost due to excessive hubris on one side or the other. ALISTAIR HORNE is the author of eighteen books. He is a fellow at St. Antony’s College, Oxford. In 1993 Horne was awarded the French Légion d’Honneur and in 2003 received a knighthood for his work on the history of France.

The Evolution of Everything How New Ideas Emerge By Matt Ridley Reader to be announced New York Times bestselling author Matt Ridley returns with a brilliant argument for evolution that definitively dispels a dangerous, widespread myth: that we can command and control our world.
“Ridley writes with panache, wit, and humor and displays remarkable ingenuity in finding ways to present complicated materials for the lay reader.”
(MAY NOT BE FINAL ART)
—Los Angeles Times, praise for the author
“A very good book…a rich analysis…Ridley is a cogent and erudite social critic.”
—Washington Post on The Rational Optimist
The Evolution of Everything is about bottom-up order and its enemy, the top-down twitch—the endless fascination human beings have for design rather than evolution, for direction rather than emergence. Matt Ridley’s wide-ranging, highly opinionated opus demolishes conventional assumptions that major scientific and social imperatives are dictated by those on high. On the contrary, our most important achievements develop from the bottom up. Ridley demolishes the arguments for design and effectively makes the case for evolution in the universe, morality, genes, the economy, technology, the mind, population, education, government, and much more.

Midwife Patience Murphy has a gift: a talent for escorting mothers through the challenges of childbirth. Working in the hardscrabble conditions of Appalachia during the Depression, Patience takes the jobs no one else wants, helping those most in need—and least likely to pay. She knows a successful midwifery practice must be built on a foundation of openness and trust—but the secrets Patience is keeping are far too intimate and fragile for her to ever let anyone in. An honest, moving, and beautifully detailed piece of Americana, Patricia Harman’s The Midwife of Hope River rings with authenticity as Patience faces nearly insurmountable difficulties.

Cast in Honor The Chronicles of Elantra , Book 11 By Michelle Sagara Reader to be announced In the aftermath of a vicious battle between darkness and light, the city of Elantra has emerged victorious. But Shadows continue to haunt every corner of its streets.
“The concept of home plays a big role in Sagara’s newest Chronicles of Elantra installment.

Sagara brilliantly weaves these threads together, developing emotional resonance that intermingles with the unfolding danger.”

Elantra stands strong, but countless numbers of Hawks, the city’s staunchest protectors, were lost in the brutal attack, and the outcast Barrani Lord Nightshade is missing from his castle in the fiefs. Yet as the chaos surrounding the battle begins to wane, Private Kaylin Neya’s duties must resume, despite her grief. Called in to investigate a triple murder in a quiet part of town, Kaylin and her companions are soon embroiled in a case that is anything but routine. Evidence of the deadly Shadows that still threaten the city leads to hints of ancient, forgotten magics … and everything can be traced directly to Ravellon, the heart of the Shadows and the darkness they contain.
