Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Captivating . . . The McCaffreys are well known for their brilliant characterizations, and they do not disappoint here.”—Booklist In Fort Hold, a clutch of fire-lizard eggs is about to hatch, and Lord Bemin’s beautiful young daughter, Koriana, is determined to Impress one of the delightful creatures. At the hatching, apprentice harper Kindan Impresses a fire-lizard of his own . . . and wins the heart of Koriana. But Lord Bemin mistrusts harpers and will not hear of a match between his daughter and the low-born Kindan. Then fate intervenes in the form of a virulent plague as fast-spreading as it is deadly. Arising suddenly, as if out of nowhere, the contagion decimates hold after hold, paying no heed to distinctions of birth. In this feverish crucible, friendship and love will be tested to the breaking point and beyond. For with Threadfall scant years away, the Dragonriders dare not expose themselves to infection, and it will fall to Kindan and his fellow apprentices to bravely search for a cure and save humanity. “Strong storytelling and compelling drama, along with memorable characters.”—Library Journal

Book excerpt: On November 4, 2005, Richard Courtemanche drove his pickup truck to the Barton Creek greenbelt in Austin, Texas, with a shotgun by his side. He planned to end his life, alone, on the shores of his favorite creek. Instead, for one notorious afternoon -- mired in an advanced stage of bipolar disorder -- he was surrounded by crisis negotiators, a SWAT team, reporters and cameras. Written in clear and compassionate prose, The Philosophy of Rich is at once a tragic account of suicide and a laugh-out-loud collection of family stories. It's an education about bipolar disorder and major depression, and a warm, genuine narrative of two brothers' lives. As it follows Rich from U.S. Marine to millionaire futures trader, the book also provides a lucid inquiry into what we miss when someone dies. Incorporating ideas from philosophy of mind as well as psychology and neuroscience, Ted Courtemanche creates a book as insightful as it is humane. --Amazon.
