The majestic, long-awaited conclusion to the finest American fantasy series
SUPERLEAD
Since 1990, when Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time® appeared with its first book, The Eye of the World, readers have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over forty million copies in over thirty languages. When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials Jordan left, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in. With The Gathering Storm and Towers of Midnight behind him, both of which were # 1 New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates Jordan’s vision. A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan’s legions of readers.

An estimated thirty-six million Chinese starved to death during SUPERLEAD China’s Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s and early ’60s. One of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century, the famine is poorly understood, and in China is still euphemistically referred to as “the three years of natural disaster.” As a journalist with privileged access to official and unofficial sources, Yang Jisheng spent twenty years piecing together the events that led to mass nationwide starvation, including the death of his own father. Finding no natural causes, Yang attributes responsibility for the deaths to China’s totalitarian system and the refusal of officials at every level to value human life over ideology and self-interest.
Tombstone is a testament to inhumanity and occasional heroism that pits collective memory against the historical amnesia imposed by those in power. Stunning in scale and arresting in its detailed account of the staggering human cost of this tragedy, Tombstone is written both as a memorial to the lives lost and in hopeful anticipation of the final demise of the totalitarian system. 9780374533991 Trade Paperback $17.00 19th Nov 656 PP Farrar, Straus and Giroux
