Sam Winston's WHAT CAME AFTER was that rarest of achievements-a post-apocalyptic adventure that appealed equally to readers of both sci-fi and literary fiction. Despite an unknown author and no marketing budget, WHAT CAME AFTER quickly found an audience and became an Amazon bestseller in a matter of weeks. Now Winston is back-along with his unassuming hero, Henry Weller-in a big and sprawling sequel, INTO THE SILENT WORLD. Beginning just moments after WHAT CAME AFTER ends, INTO THE SILENT WORLD follows Weller and his family and his new band of followers as they escape Dr. Patel's ruined bio station in the Northeastern Empowerment Zone and set out for the safety of Spartanburg. They're not alone, though. And a virus that killed millions of Americans during the Great Dying is about to be pointed their way with the precision and cruelty that only Black Rose, the nation's most powerful and secretive private army, can muster.

In DOUBLE BLACK, Boston's twenty-something Stacey Curtis ditches her cheating fiancé and heads for a Vermont ski town. She's looking for the life she's always dreamed about, but she stumbles instead into financial intrigue, bitter family warfare, and murder. Populated with quirky characters, loaded with New England atmosphere, and starring a young woman with nerve, spunk and a sense of humor about it all, DOUBLE BLACK is an exciting run down some treacherous mountain trails.

This is the 10th-Anniversary Edition of Finn, with a new introduction by Jared Leto. In this masterful debut, Jon Clinch takes us on a journey into the history and heart of one of American literature's most brutal and mysterious figures: Huckleberry Finn's father. The result is a deeply original tour de force that springs from Twain's classic novel but takes on a fully realized life of its own. Finn sets a tragic figure loose in a landscape at once familiar and mythic. It begins and ends with a lifeless body-flayed and stripped of all identifying marks-drifting down the Mississippi. The circumstances of the murder, and the secret of the victim's identity, shape Finn's story as they will shape his life and his death. Along the way Clinch introduces a cast of unforgettable characters: Finn's terrifying father, known only as the Judge; his sickly, sycophantic brother, Will; blind Bliss, a secretive moonshiner; the strong and quick-witted Mary, a stolen slave who becomes Finn's mistress; and of course young Huck himself. In daring to re-create Huck for a new generation, Clinch gives us a living boy in all his human complexity-not an icon, not a myth, but a real child facing vast possibilities in a world alternately dangerous and bright. Finn is a novel about race; about paternity in its many guises; about the shame of a nation recapitulated by the shame of one absolutely unforgettable family. Above all, Finn reaches back into the darkest waters of America's past to fashion something compelling, fearless, and new. Praise for Finn "A brutal, shocking and epic look in the mirror for all Americans." - Jared Leto, from the introduction "Ravishing...and a stand-alone marvel of a novel. Grade: A." - Entertainment Weekly "Clinch treads dangerous ground in making one of America's greatest novels his jumping-off point, but he brings it off magnificently." - Dallas Morning News "Clinch's riverbank Missouri feels postapocalyptic, and his Pap Finn is a crazed yet wily survivor in a polluted landscape." - Newsweek "Finn strikes its most original chords in its bold imagining of possibilities left unexplored by Huckleberry Finn." - Austin American-Statesman "An inspired riff on one of literature's all-time great villains." - New Orleans Times-Picayune "A jolting companion to the mischievous antics of Huckleberry Finn." - Christian Science Monitor "A triumph of successful plotting, convincing characterization and lyrical prose." - Rocky Mountain News "Shocking and charming, A folk-art masterpiece." - New York Post "Disturbing and darkly compelling." - Hartford Courant "Jon Clinch pulls off the near impossible in his new novel, which brings Huck's dad to life in all his terrible humanness." - Winston-Salem Journal "Every fan of Twain's masterpiece will want to read this inspired spin-off, which could become an unofficial companion volume." - Library Journal, starred review "Finn is as dark, as brutal, as ambivalent, and as insane as the history and legacy of American racial slavery." - Mary Gaitskill, author of Veronica "Clinch's tale is not only filled with echoes of the great American classic to which it is tied; it is destined to become one itself." - Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants

Part adventure, part romance, and part tall tale-BELZONI DREAMS OF EGYPT is the "fictional autobiography" of Giovanni Battista Belzoni, a real-life 19th-century explorer, circus performer, and shameless self-promoter. He narrates the story at the end of his life, aboard a ship bound for the coast of Africa and his final, fatal adventure. Belzoni's voice is bombastic and beautiful, and his narrative is both an unabashed love story and a ripping yarn. Plus, it's mostly lies. The real-life Belzoni pillaged Egypt while Lord Elgin was pillaging Greece-only a whole lot more colorfully. Born in Padua, raised in Rome, and educated by the Capuchins, he stood nearly seven feet tall and easily found work in England as a circus strongman. His strength and agility, along with his expertise in hydraulics and pyrotechnics, brought him to the attention of of Mohammed 'Ali, the Pasha of Egypt, and from there it was short work to begin ransacking the Valley of the Kings. BELZONI DREAMS OF EGYPT brings Belzoni back to vivid life, yarning about his exploits in a series of cliff-hangers involving pyramids and catacombs, poison gas and carnival freaks, heartless popes and Napoleon's army. To say nothing of his loyal companion, the Irish orphan James Curtin, and his one true love, the faithful Sarah Banne Belzoni.
