Book excerpt: In this World Fantasy Award-winning novel of magic and kungfu, four siblings battle rival clans for honor and power in an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. *Named one of TIME's Top 100 Fantasy Books Of All Time ​* World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, winner Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been mined, traded, stolen, and killed for -- and for centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation. When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone -- even foreigners -- wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones -- and of Kekon itself. Praise for Jade City: "An epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book." --Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author "A beautifully realized setting, a great cast of characters, and dramatic action scenes. What a fun, gripping read!" --Ann Leckie, Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author "An instantly absorbing tale of blood, honor, family and magic, spiced with unexpectedly tender character beats." --NPR The Green Bone Saga Jade City Jade War Jade Legacy

Book excerpt: *Warning: Extreme, graphic violence. The Kill - Book One The son of the most ruthless mafia boss in eastern Canada is killed, and the father wants revenge. Darwin Kostas is a law-abiding Canadian, a writer with a new bride and a long list of phobias. His fear of the dark keeps him inside after the sun goes down. He also has an irrational fear of sharp and pointed objects. His fear manifests itself as an out-of-control rage when confronted with a knife or a needle. He's also the man who accidentally killed the heir to the Fuccini syndicate. When the newlyweds honeymoon in Rome, a mafia hit team follows. They keep waving things at Darwin--pointy things, like knives. And he can't control himself when that happens, accidentally killing their men. The mafia now believes Darwin is a trained killer hired to take them out, so they declare war on the neurotic novelist. Darwin returns to Toronto, but the hits keep coming. The FBI closes in, and a local biker gang offers Darwin their help, all while Darwin just wants to be left alone with a light on. The Blade - Book Two The safe house where Darwin and Rosina live is attacked. Five FBI agents are dead. Darwin Kostas had nowhere to turn. There was no one he could trust. Darwin's phobias cause him great stress, and now the media call him The Blade, even though he can't stand the sight of knives. The FBI is hunting him. The Gambino family, violent mobsters associated with Italy's La Cosa Nostra, want to know whom he works for before they execute him. Darwin just wants to be left alone with his new wife so they can begin a domestic life, but that is not possible, with so many people wanting him dead. With evidence piling up against him, a crazed, half-blind FBI agent on his tail, and a relentless mobster planning Darwin's violent end, his life is the only thing he has left to lose. Meanwhile, the Russian mafia is moving into new territory in Toronto. They want to know who this Darwin guy is and why he is still breathing. When they show up to take possession of his body, Darwin has one surprise left for the mobsters before he dies. The Scythe - Book Three In book one, the Italian mafia goes after the wrong man and pays for it. In book two, the Gambino family commits the same mistake. In book three, the Russian mafia has different plans. They want to take over Toronto, a large territory previously thought too big for one family. But Darwin and his wife stand in the way. The Russians intend to execute Darwin as a peace offering to the Italians. First, they must catch him; using his wife as bait is not enough. While the Russians attempt to organize a meeting of rival families where Darwin will be terminated, something the Italians tried twice and failed, Darwin realizes he's on his own. With the FBI unable to help and his wife in the hands of the enemy, Darwin decides the only way to win this war is to kill them all. Darwin fights the Russians in the biggest mafia war Toronto has ever seen in The Scythe, book three of the Mafia Trilogy, the final installment.

Download or read book Eyrie written by Tim Winton and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2014 Miles Franklin Literary Award An exhilarating new book from Australia's most acclaimed writer Tim Winton is Australia's most decorated and beloved literary novelist. Short-listed twice for the Booker Prize and the winner of a record four Miles Franklin Awards for Best Australian Novel, he has a gift for language virtually unrivaled among English-language novelists. His work is both tough and tender, primordial and new—always revealing the raw, instinctual drives that lure us together and rend us apart. In Eyrie, Winton crafts the story of Tom Keely, a man struggling to accomplish good in an utterly fallen world. Once an ambitious, altruistic environmentalist, Keely now finds himself broke, embroiled in scandal, and struggling to piece together some semblance of a life. From the heights of his urban high-rise apartment, he surveys the wreckage of his life and the world he's tumbled out of love with. Just before he descends completely into pills and sorrow, a woman from his past and her preternatural child appear, perched on the edge of disaster, desperate for help. When you're fighting to keep your head above water, how can you save someone else from drowning? As Keely slips into a nightmarish world of con artists, drug dealers, petty violence, and extortion, Winton confronts the cost of benevolence and creates a landscape of uncertainty. Eyrie is a thrilling and vertigo-inducing morality tale, at once brutal and lyrical, from one of our finest storytellers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash is the follow up tale to Will Save the Galaxy for Food from the mind of writer Yahtzee Croshaw (Mogworld, Jam, Differently Morphous). With the age of heroic star pilots and galactic villains completely killed by quantum teleportation, the ex-star pilot currently named Dashford Pierce is struggling to find his identity in a changing universe. Then, a face from his past returns and makes him an offer he can't refuse: take part in just one small, slightly illegal, heist, and not only will he have the means to start the new life he craves, but also save his childhood hero from certain death. What could go wrong? If you need to ask--you don't know Dashford Pierce. Before long, Pierce is surrounded by peril, and forced to partner with the very same supervillains he'd spent his heroic career thwarting. But when he's confronted by the uncomfortable truth that star pilots might not have been the force for good, they had intended to be, he begins to wonder if the villains hadn't had the right idea all along...
