Book excerpt: Set in 1930s Papua New Guinea, this gorgeous novel is about three young, ground-breaking anthropologists caught in a love triangle that threatens their bonds, their careers and, ultimately, their lives English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years studying the Kiona river tribe in the Territory of New Guinea. Haunted by the memory of his brothers' deaths and increasingly frustrated and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the verge of suicide when a chance encounter with two colleagues, the controversial Nell Stone and her wry and mercurial Australian husband, Fen, pulls him back from the brink. Nell and Fen have just fled the bloodthirsty Mumbanyo and, in spite of Nell's poor health, are hungry for a new discovery. When Bankson finds them a new tribe to divert them from leaving New Guinea, he ignites an intellectual and romantic firestorm between the three of them that burns out of anyone's control. King's writing is effortlessly elegant and the setting wonderfully rich and evocative. What really sets this novel apart, though, are the brilliantly realized characters absorbed in the work of understanding the fundamental humanity that connects us all. Set between two world wars and inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is an enthralling story of passion, possession, exploration and sacrifice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary about this story: "When a storm brought dark clouds over the city, Sam, now known as Sparky, and his best friend Lily went on a quest to find out what was going on. Their journey led them to an abandoned laboratory and the secret legacy of Captain Techno, the city's missing protector. In their search for the missing "Spark Suit," they overcame obstacles and brought the community together. Sparky's determination and the power of the suit got rid of the storm and brought the city together. The people of Techno Ville cheered for Sparky, their new hero, as his last burst of energy beat the Shadow Storm and the city was once again filled with sunlight. Sparky's legacy taught people about the power of working together, having courage, and how ordinary people can rise to meet extraordinary obstacles. As time went on, Sparky kept protecting Techno Ville from dangers, showing that everyone has the power to do great things. With a renewed sense of community, kindness, and a shared goal, the city grew and thrived. Sparky's memory lives on in Techno Ville, a city that was once covered in darkness. This is a tribute to the bravery that saved the city and the unity that grew afterward. Sparky's memory has become an example of how to deal with problems, work together, and make the world a better place. The story of Sparky, the superhero kid who saved Techno Ville, showed that anyone can be a hero and start a fire of change that can light up the whole world. The Story Starts: A little boy named Sam lived in the middle of the busy city of Techno Ville. Sam was always surrounded by the city's lively, exciting energy. Even though the streets were noisy because they were in a city, Sam was a normal kid who fit in well with regular life. The way he looked might not have made him stand out in a crowd, but his mind was full of insatiable curiosity and his heart held an amazing treasure trove of ideas. Sam's day consisted of going to school, playing sports, and doing many other things that kids do every day. But despite all the normal things that happened, he still had a special spark inside of him. This flame was fed by his strong interest in the unusual. Sam's best thing to do was to get lost in the colorful pages of comic books. Each one was a doorway to a world where heroes wore capes and masks to protect the world from evil. Sam's favorite comics were The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. As the sun lit up Techno Ville's tall buildings and winding streets, Sam could often be found in a quiet corner of his room, surrounded by his favorite comic book collection. Sam's mind filled with vivid pictures of heroes like "Captain Valor" and "Star Sentinel," whose adventures jumped off the pages and into his head as he read them. Sam's heart rate went up as he turned the pages, and his eyes got bigger as he read about the great things the other characters did. Sam found a deep desire inside himself while listening to other people's stories of bravery and kindness. When he was by himself, he would often close his eyes and think about what it would be like to have amazing powers, like being able to fly through the sky or have a lot of strength. These goals weren't just daydreams; they were the start of a secret goal that he kept close to himself even as he dealt with the everyday problems of childhood. Sam was interested in superheroes for a lot more than just fun. It made him want to make a positive change in the lives of the people around him and gave him the drive to do so. He didn't want to just watch these larger-than-life characters from the sides; he wanted to join them and be a light in a dark world. He didn't want to just stand by and watch these people who were bigger than life. Sam's heart grew in Techno Ville, where tall towers reached for the sky and technology pulsed with a steady beat. There, his dreams, and reality met, and that's where he found the most happiness. As he read each comic book, he took in the ideas that his best fictional characters stood for, like having compassion for those in need and a strong will to keep going no matter what. These good qualities left a permanent mark on his heart and became the core of who he was. Sam's thoughts sometimes took him to a place where he was flying high above the city's skyline with a cape flowing behind him and looking down at the streets below. This would happen right before he went to sleep. He saw himself helping people who needed it, saving kittens who were stuck in trees, and stopping traffic so that old people could cross the street safely. The inspiration for these stories was the desire to bring love and light to a world that needed a hero. They were not just random thoughts or flights of fancy. Sam's hunger grew as the days went into weeks, and then into months. This pushed him toward an uncertain future. The days turned into weeks, which turned into months. After he finished each comic book, he realized that he wasn't just inspired by the books' heroic tales, but also by a strong sense of purpose. He wanted to make a world where fiction and reality were hard to tell apart and where the hero, he wanted to be not just a character on a page but a real-life example of hope. A young boy named Sam grew his dreams in the rich soil of his mind when he lived in Techno Ville, a place where dreams and reality were linked. He was no longer a bystander in the world of heroes. Instead, he was about to go on a trip that would turn him from an ordinary young man into an amazing force for good. Sam was about to be thrown into a future that was meant for him, one in which he would become the superhero he had always dreamed of becoming. Sam's goals were about to meet the heartbeat of the city, the pulse of its people, and the soul of Techno Ville itself.
