Book excerpt: Le bon docteur qui avait décidé le retour de Heidi dans sa patrie traversait la rue dans la direction de la maison de Sesemann. C'était par une radieuse soirée de septembre, si lumineuse et si douce que tous les coeurs auraient dû en être réjouis. Et pourtant le docteur marchait, le regard fixé à terre sur les pavés blancs, sans même s'apercevoir du beau ciel bleu qui s'étendait au-dessus de sa tête. Son visage portait une expression de tristesse qu'on n'y avait jamais vue autrefois, et depuis le printemps ses cheveux étaient devenus tout gris. C'est que le docteur avait eu une fille unique qui faisait toute sa joie et avec laquelle il avait vécu dans la plus grande intimité depuis la mort de sa femme ; or, quelques mois auparavant, cette jeune fille lui avait été enlevée pleine de vie et de santé, et depuis lors, le docteur n'avait jamais repris sa gaîté d'autrefois. Au coup de sonnette qu'il fit entendre, Sébastien s'empressa d'ouvrir la porte d'entrée et le reçut avec force démonstrations de respect et de dévouement ; outre que le docteur était le plus intime ami du maître et de sa fille, son amabilité lui avait, comme partout, gagné le coeur de tous les habitants de la maison.- Rien de nouveau, Sébastien ? demanda-t-il avec sa bienveillance accoutumée à Sébastien qui montait l'escalier derrière lui, ne cessant d'exprimer par des gestes son respect et sa soumission, bien que le docteur qui lui tournait le dos ne pût apercevoir sa pantomime.- Tu as bien fait de venir, docteur, s'écria M. Sesemann en le voyant entrer. Il faut absolument que nous parlions encore une fois de ce voyage en Suisse, et que tu me dises si tu maintiens ton premier arrêt, maintenant qu'il y a un mieux sensible dans l'état de Clara.- Mon cher Sesemann, tu es toujours le même, répliqua le docteur en s'asseyant auprès de son ami. Je voudrais vraiment que ta mère fût ici ; avec elle au moins tout est clair et simple, et l'on va droit son chemin, mais avec toi on n'en finit jamais. Voilà la troisième fois que tu me fais venir pour .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From "editor extraordinaire" (Publishers Weekly) David G. Hartwell and World Fantasy Award-winning editor Kathryn Cramer comes the best-ever anthology of one of science fiction's most vigorous subgenres: the space opera. "Space opera", once a derisive term for cheap pulp adventure, has come to mean something more in modern SF: compelling adventure stories told against a broad canvas, and written to the highest level of skill. Indeed, it can be argued that the "new space opera" is one of the defining streams of modern SF. Now, World Fantasy Award-winning anthologists David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer have compiled a definitive overview of this subgenre, both as it was in the days of the pulp magazines, and as it has become in the 2000s. Included are major works from genre progenitors, popular favorites, and modern-day pioneers. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany, 1940. While struggling to survive at an orphanage, young Didi crosses paths with a rebellious, quirky girl who will either help her escape a life of abuse and uncertainty or lead her down an even darker path. Fast-forward to 1970. With help from a worn leather journal, another young girl learns the story of Didi, who escaped war-torn Germany for a better life in America—except her life didn’t turn out as expected. The stories of these two girls intertwine and eventually collide one Christmas night when Didi, all grown up, finally remembers the secret she buried long ago. Chasing North Star looks back at a time when four free-range siblings, cigarettes in hand, roamed the streets ’til sunrise and hid from a gun-toting, mentally ill mother who couldn’t help herself. Stingray bicycles, transistor radios, and late nights in the cemetery—just another day in Alamo. That is, until the youngest sibling stumbles upon Didi’s story.

She watched her marriage disintegrate as she confronted a trail of devastating lies about her husband's double life. She had lost all that mattered, but she was a survivor. She fought to restore her health, repair her broken heart, and rebuild herself. Along the way, she gained clarity about her core values, ultimately coming to a deeper understanding of what it means to have it all. Through down-to-earth, short vignettes, When All Balls Drop shows us how it's possible to look up in spite of pain, deceit, and loss. Heidi's memoir -- rich with hope and humor -- inspires anyone who's had to confront tragedy and reassess their life in the wake of life-altering events.
