Book excerpt: The truth about the links will be deadly for Llad Fleck. No one ever told him about the psychic traits of his Viking ancestors and their extraordinary heritage―or how they died. He never heard that a powerful paranormal research institute in London considered him a lethal threat. All Llad knows for sure is that the men he plays ball against complain that he has “mad skills not suitable for a teenager.” When Llad meets an eccentric parapsychologist, she tells him she has waited decades just to teach him to expand his mind to access his unique gifts. Although her stories come across as too far-fetched, Llad tries studying her techniques. Even if he does have some kind of ancient link, Llad questions if he has the talent or patience to grasp the preternatural senses she thinks he inherited. After multiple killings shatter Llad’s life, he still doesn’t know who is behind the brutal murders or why he’s involved. He finally realizes that he is now fighting for his life against a fanatical enemy who thinks Llad controls the secrets of his Norse fore-fathers. Llad knows nothing about any of this and takes off halfway around the world searching for clues about his cryptic lineage while constantly being distracted by dreams of a mysterious girl who might be the key to his mastering the bizarre psychic gifts he will need to survive.

Download or read book Square Wave written by Mark de Silva and published by Two Dollar Radio. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brilliant." —3:AM Magazine "Intelligent... thrilling." —Michael Silverblatt, 'Bookworm' on KCRW Carl Stagg, a writer researching imperial power struggles in 17th century Sri Lanka, ekes out a living as a watchman in a factionalized America where confidence in democracy has eroded. Along his nightly patrol, Stagg finds a beaten prostitute, one in a series of monstrous attacks. Suspicious of his supervisor's intentions, Stagg partners with a fellow part-time watchman, Ravan, to seek the truth. Ravan hails from a family developing storm-dispersal technologies, whose research is jointly funded by the Indian and American governments. The watchmen's discoveries put a troubling complexion on Stagg's research, giving it new shape and impetus, just as the weather modification project begins to appear less about dispersing storms than weaponizing them. By gracefully weaving a study of the psychological effects of a militarized state upon its citizenry with topics as diverse as microtonal music and cloud physics, Square Wave signals the triumphant arrival of a young writer certain to be considered one of the most ambitious and intelligent of his generation. "The novel of ideas is alive and well in de Silva's high-minded debut, in which the pursuit of art, the exercise of power, and climate control are strangely entwined. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling America, this novel functions as a thriller where the confusions and obsessions of students are freighted with the dark reality they begin to uncover. De Silva isn’t shy about his intelligence, and he shouldn’t be; Square Wave is an intellectual tussle many readers will be happy to grapple with." ―Publishers Weekly

After her husband’s sudden death, Carley Winsted is determined to keep her two daughters in their beloved home on Nantucket. To ease the family’s financial strain, she decides to transform their grand, historic house into a bed-and-breakfast. Not everyone, however, thinks this plan prudent or quite respectable—especially not Carley’s mother-in-law. Further complicating a myriad of challenges, a friend forces Carley to keep a secret that, if revealed, will undo families and friendships. And her late husband’s former law partner is making Carley confront an array of mixed feelings. Then, during a late-summer heat wave, the lives of Carley and her friends and family will be forever changed in entirely unexpected ways.

Book excerpt: When Tara receives a wedding invitation from a cousin she hasn't seen in years, she knows it's nothing more than a bid for a gift or money. But Amanda lives in Wildwood, New Jersey, where Tara used to spend her summers as a child, and a much-needed vacation down the shore sounds like the perfect way to finish off a hectic summer. Every hotel in the tourist trap is booked, though, so Tara's Aunt Marlene invites her to stay with them the week of the wedding. But Wildwood isn't quite the island paradise she remembers from her youth, and both her relatives would rather get drunk than have fun on the boardwalk. Plus Marlene is determined to set Tara up with a coworker of hers even though Tara isn't interested -- in men or in romance. The vacation is beginning to look like a bust until the night of Amanda's bachelorette party, when Tara meets Delaney, a pretty bartender with fiery curls and a personality to match. Suddenly the summer heat isn't the only thing making her sweat. Can Tara salvage what's left of her time in Wildwood with Delaney's help? Or will family obligations keep her from following her heart?
