Book excerpt: Raymond Khoury, the international bestselling author of The Last Templar, is back with another ingenious, fast-paced thriller that straddles present-day NYC and Russia in the early 1900s—the time of the infamous Rasputin and his mysterious rise to power. FBI special agent Sean Reilly is tasked with a delicate case. A Russian diplomat seems to have committed suicide by jumping out of a sixth-floor window in Queens, New York. The apartment’s owners are missing, while a faceless killer known only as Koschey—“the Deathless”—is roaming the city and leaving a trail of death in his wake. Joined by Russian FSB agent Larisa Tchoumitcheva, Reilly’s investigation soon uncovers a deadly, desperate search for a mysterious device whose origins reach back in time to the darkest days of the Cold War and to Imperial Russia. A device that, in the wrong hands, could have a devastating impact on our world. Packed with the twists and suspense, the impeccable historical research, and the present and past story lines that Khoury’s fans have come to expect, Rasputin’s Shadow will keep readers turning pages long into the night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1626 France, a nun warns a travelling English theater group not to take a short cut through the forest. They do not heed her warning and are viciously attacked by a pack of wolves (vampires). Among those killed is a newlywed couple, Peter and Meg Benedict. After the vicious attack, the nun and the sisters from a nearby church return to bury the bodies - but not before they place a stake of wood in each victim's chest. In 1942 France, three hundred years later, during World War II, a battle is taking place in the same forest. A mortar shell explodes in a clearing. A medic crawls through the dust and smoke, giving aid where he can. He sees a body, a large shard of wood protruding from the chest. The medic tries to help the wounded man. Just as he extracts the wood, shrapnel from another mortar hit strikes him. As the medic draws his last breath, the man draws his first in three centuries. At that very moment, the vampire that created him smiles, knowing that one of his "children" is alive again. Once the resurrected Peter Benedict realizes what he has become, he is determined to destroy his maker, the consummately malevolent, Andre Bouchard. Andre has other plans for Peter, expecting him to embrace a life of evil and become a protege. As Peter makes his way to England to confront his nemesis, he meets a young orphaned boy and an English woman who is an espionage courier for Great Britain. Together, they struggle to return home and to help in Peter's plan to overthrow Andre. Michael Hart is an award-winning teacher at a private school.in Los Angeles, California.

Download or read book Shadow Archives written by Jean-Christophe Cloutier and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recasting the history of African American literature, Shadow Archives brings to life a slew of newly discovered texts—including Claude McKay’s Amiable with Big Teeth—to tell the stories of black special collections and their struggle for institutional recognition. Jean-Christophe Cloutier offers revelatory readings of major African American writers, including McKay, Richard Wright, Ann Petry, and Ralph Ellison, and provides a nuanced view of how archival methodology, access, and the power dynamics of acquisitions shape literary history. Shadow Archives argues that the notion of the archive is crucial to our understanding of postwar African American literary history. Cloutier combines his own experiences as a researcher and archivist with a theoretically rich account of the archive to offer a pioneering study of the importance of African American authors’ archival practices and how these shaped their writing. Given the lack of institutions dedicated to the black experience, the novel became an alternative site of historical preservation, a means to ensure both individual legacy and group survival. Such archivism manifests in the work of these authors through evolving lifecycles where documents undergo repurposing, revision, insertion, falsification, transformation, and fictionalization, sometimes across decades. An innovative interdisciplinary consideration of literary papers, Shadow Archives proposes new ways for literary scholars to engage with the archive.

Download or read book The Shadows of Empire written by Samir Puri and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful, thought-provoking, and wide-ranging study of how the vestiges of the imperial era shape society today. In this groundbreaking narrative, The Shadows of Empire explains (in the vein of The Silk Roads and Prisoners of Geography) how the world’s imperial legacies still shape our lives—as well as the thorniest issues we face today. For the first time in millennia we live without formal empires. But that doesn’t mean we don’t feel their presence rumbling through history. From Russia’s incursions in the Ukraine to Brexit; from Trump’s America-First policy to China’s forays into Africa; from Modi’s India to the hotbed of the Middle East, Samir Puri provides a bold new framework for understanding the world’s complex rivalries and politics. Organized by region, and covering vital topics such as security, foreign policy, national politics and commerce, The Shadows of Empire combines gripping history and astute analysis to explain why the history of empire affects us all in profound ways; it is also a plea for greater awareness, both as individuals and as nations, of how our varied imperial pasts have contributed to why we see the world in such different ways.
