In Floating Rock City, humanity's last refuge hovers above the clouds, sustained by ancient anti-gravity technology that keeps ten thousand survivors alive in a marvel of crystalline structures and flourishing biodomes. At the heart of this precarious sanctuary, seventeen-year-old Shahl and his friends Maya and Kenzo navigate a society bound by strict rules and technological preservation. As skilled tech scavengers, they delve into the mysterious caverns beneath their floating home, driven by an insatiable curiosity about the forbidden surface world below. Their discovery of a hidden hangar containing a preserved flying vehicle coincides with alarming signs of failure in the city's ancient levitation systems. Against the wishes of the conservative City Council and Administrator Vale, the young explorers secretly work to repair the vehicle, knowing their floating sanctuary's survival may depend on reaching the surface. Their clandestine mission becomes increasingly complex as they balance political tensions, revolutionary factions, and the desperate need to find resources before their city plummets from the sky. This gripping tale of survival and discovery blends the wonder of ancient technology with the urgency of impending disaster. As Shahl and his companions uncover shocking truths about humanity's past and venture to the mysterious surface below, they must convince their society to overcome generations of fear and tradition. Their journey challenges everything they've known about their floating world, while racing against time to save the only home they've ever known.

Book Description
Anne Pierson Wiese's first collection of poems illuminates the everyday and the lessons to be learned amid life's routines. The poems in Floating City might be called poetry of place. Many are set in New York City, but they simultaneously inhabit a realm in which a mundane physical location or daily exchange can be seen to have human significance beyond the immediate. When one dismisses from one's mind the idea that going to the park, doing the laundry, buying a sandwich, and riding the subway are familiar experiences, one makes room for the actual to ally with the hypothetical by means of the emotions. The result, Wiese eloquently shows, is a form of truth that is silently generated whenever human beings earnestly endeavor to absorb the world.

Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Eric Lustbader, the suspense mastermind behind the smash bestsellers featuring Robert Ludlum’s™ Jason Bourne, comes a blockbuster thriller of one man’s debt of honor—and his ultimate destiny. Years ago, Nicholas Linnear, a.k.a. “the Ninja,” made a promise to his father: If a man named Mikio Okami ever sought his help, he would respond without question, no matter the cost. Now the time has come to fulfill his pledge. Okami is the Kaisho—the boss of bosses of the Yakuza, the Japanese underworld—and in his Venice headquarters, he realizes that he has been marked for death. But the identity of the assassin and the inexorable compulsion that drives him are shrouded in mysticism and madness. Honor bound to protect Okami, Linnear is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice: a descent into a chasm of knowledge so potent, of dangers so unfathomable, that even if he survives, he will emerge changed forever.

Book Description
The 1950s witnessed both the birth of both rock and roll and the creation of Southern literature as we know it. Around the time that Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley put their electric spin on Southern vernacular ballads, a canonical group of white American authors native to rock’s birthplace began to write fiction about the electrification of those ballads, translating into literary form key cultural changes that gave rise to the infectious music coming out of their region. In Novel Sounds, Florence Dore tells the story of how these forms of expression became intertwined and shows how Southern writers turned to rock music and its technologies—tape, radio, vinyl—to develop the “rock novel.” Dore considers the work of Southern writers like William Faulkner, Flannery O’Connor, and William Styron alongside the music of Bessie Smith, Lead Belly, and Bob Dylan to uncover deep historical links between rock and Southern literature. Along with rock pioneers, Southern authors drew from blues, country, jazz, and other forms to create a new brand of realism that redefined the Southern vernacular as global, electric, and notably white. Resurrecting this Southern literary tradition at the birth of rock, Dore clarifies the surprising but unmistakable influence of rock and roll on the American novel. Along the way, she explains how literature came to resemble rock and roll, an anti-institutional art form if there ever was one, at the very moment academics claimed literature for the institution.
