Golden Girl
By Elin Hilderbrand Read by Erin Bennett
In this immensely satisfying new page-turner from “the queen of beach reads” (New York Magazine), Nantucket novelist Vivian Howe has one nal summer to protect her secrets while her loved ones on earth learn to live without their golden girl. “Hilderbrand steers this tightly written novel with ease and skill…Less a story about a secretive affair and more a tale of sweet nostalgia and fate, this title will be popular with a wide audience.”
—Library Journal on 28 Summers On a perfect June day, Vivian Howe, author of 13 beach novels and mother of three nearly grown children, is killed in a hit-and-run car accident while jogging near her home on Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond where she’s assigned to a Person named Martha, who allows Vivi to watch what happens below for one last summer. Vivi also is granted three “nudges” to change the outcome of events on earth, and with her daughter Willa on her third miscarriage, Carson partying until all hours, and Leo currently “off again” with his high-maintenance girlfriend, she’ll have to think carefully where to use them.
From the Beyond, Vivi watches “The Chief ” Ed Kapenash investigate her death, but her greatest worry is her nal book, which contains a secret from her own youth that could be disastrous for her reputation. But when hidden truths come to light, Vivi’s family will have to sort out their past and present mistakes – with or without a nudge of help from above—while Vivi nally lets them grow without her.
With all of Elin’s trademark beach scenes, mouth-watering meals, and picture-perfect homes, plus a heartfelt message—the people we lose never really leave us—Golden Girl is a beach book unlike any other. ELIN HILDERBRAND is the New York Times bestselling author of numerous novels, including the Nantucket series, the Winter series, and over a dozen stand-alone novels, as well as two novellas. Her book Barefoot was a nalist for the 2008 Romantic Novel of the Year Award.

On Killing Remotely
The Psychology of Killing with Drones By Lieutenant Colonel Wayne Phelps and Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman
—P. W. Singer, author of Wired for War Today, when killing the enemy can seem palpably risk-free and tantamount to playing a violent video game, what constitutes warfare? What is the effect of remote combat on individual soldiers? And what are the unforeseen repercussions? Phelps, former commander of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) unit, addresses these questions and others. Exploring the ethics of remote military engagement, misconceptions about PTSD among RPA operators, and the specter of military weaponry controlled by robots, his book is a compelling reminder that it should always be difficult to kill another human being lest we risk losing what makes us human.
LIEUTENANT COLONEL KENNETH WAYNE PHELPS III (USMC, Ret.) served ve deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A Memoir By Brandon P. Fleming Foreword by Cornel West

The Duran Duran Story By Stephen Davis
—New York Times Book Review on Gold Dust Woman
Bestselling biographer Stephen Davis tells the story of Duran Duran, the quintessential band of the 1980s. Their pretty boy looks made them the stars of edgling MTV, but it was their brilliant musicianship that led to a string of number-one hits. Davis traces their roots to the austere 1970s British malaise that spawned both the Sex Pistols and Duran Duran—two seemingly opposite music extremes. By the end of the decade, they had sold 60 million albums; today, they’ve sold over 100 million albums—and counting. Davis offers a denitive account of one of the last untold sagas in rock and roll history.
STEPHEN DAVIS is America’s preeminent rock journalist and biographer, having written numerous bestsellers on rock bands, including the smash hit Hammer of the Gods.
