Book Description
My alien client craves complete control… When I have to cancel my vacation last minute to meet with a mysterious new alien client, I don’t know whether to be annoyed, worried, or curious—I've never met an alien in the flesh before. The way Kuthil Ash Kharn towers over me leaves me frozen in his shadow. I fight to keep control under the golden giant's penetrating gaze, but he sees right through me, and I just want to get through this job and go home. But a freak blizzard hits, leaving me trapped and injured at his ranch. With no way out, I have no choice but to allow Kuthil Ash Kharn to help me. Except his strange alien powers don’t just heal me—they come with unintended dark consequences. Now a part of him is inside of me, and it’s impossible not to be overwhelmed by him. I feel him moving underneath my skin and I’m doing my best to fight the way he manipulates my body and mind, but there’s no escape. Not even in my dreams. And the worst thing of all is... I’m afraid I’m starting to enjoy it. Alien’s Host is a steamy science fiction romance suitable for readers who like a strong heroine and are intrigued by a well-intentioned but possessive alien. This story was originally published in the Unwrapping the Alien anthology. It contains a revised ending with three additional chapters.

Book Description
“There was a new maturity in her dark eyes, a confidence that wavered only briefly. An urge to dismantle it—dismantle her—rose within me. Could she tell?” Sharing your body with a controlling alien who invades your mind in fervent lucid dreams is no walk in the park. When Kak first entered my life, I fought tooth and nail to resist his influence. Yet over time we bonded in perfect harmony: two souls in one body, synced and molded to each other’s needs and desires. But our peace is shattered by the return of Kuthil Ash Kharn, the alien who implanted a shard of himself inside me all those years ago... The shard that became Kak. Is it even him? Or has a decade back on his Home world turned him into someone... something... else? There’s a new darkness inside Kuthil Ash Kharn that’s impossible to ignore. It both alarms and allures me, beckoning me to the edge of an unknowable abyss. My first instinct is to run the other way and continue my idyllic life with Kak, but I can’t. Not yet. Because people are dying, and the aliens seem to be involved. Now I’ve got one last job to do, and I need Kuthil Ash Kharn’s help to do it. Will Kak and I survive this? Or will Kuthil Ash Kharn’s haunting allure fracture what took us a decade to build? Aliens’ Vice: A Sci-Fi Sharing Romance is a full-length steamy alien romance novel that leans dark.

Book Description
From Herodotus's day to the present political upheavals, the steady flow of the Nile has been Egypt's heartbeat. It has shaped its geography, controlled its economy and moulded its civilisation. The same stretch of water which conveyed Pharaonic battleships, Ptolemaic grain ships, Roman troop-carriers and Victorian steamers today carries modern-day tourists past bankside settlements in which rural life – fishing, farming, flooding – continues much as it has for millennia. At this most critical juncture in the country's history, foremost Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson takes us on a journey up the Nile, north from Lake Victoria, from Cataract to Cataract, past the Aswan Dam, to the delta. The country is a palimpsest, every age has left its trace: as we pass the Nilometer on the island of Elephantine which since the days of the Pharaohs has measured the height of Nile floodwaters to predict the following season's agricultural yield and set the parameters for the entire Egyptian economy, the wonders of Giza which bear the scars of assault by nineteenth-century archaeologists and the modern-day unbridled urban expansion of Cairo – and in Egypt's earliest art (prehistoric images of fish-traps carved into cliffs) and the Arab Spring (fought on the bridges of Cairo) – the Nile is our guide to understanding the past and present of this unique, chaotic, vital, conservative yet rapidly changing land.

Book Description
The Newbery Medal-winning tale of an orphan boy whose dream of becoming a master potter leads to unforeseen adventure in ancient Korea. Tree-ear is an orphan boy in a 12th-century Korean village renowned for its ceramics. When he accidentally breaks a delicate piece of pottery, he volunteers to work to pay for the damage. Putting aside his own dreams, Tree-ear resolves to serve the master potter by embarking on a difficult and dangerous journey, little knowing that it will change his life forever. "Despite the odds against him, Tree-ear becomes courageous, brave and selfless, a hero as enduring as the porcelain Park so lovingly describes." (New York Times) “Intrigues, danger, and a strong focus on doing what is right turn a simple story into a compelling read. A timeless jewel.” (Kirkus starred review) *A broken piece of pottery sets events in motion as an orphan struggles to pay off his debt to a master potter. This finely crafted novel brings 12th-century Korea and these indelible characters to life." (School Library Journal starred review) "Tree-ear's determination and bravery in pursuing his dream of becoming a potter takes readers on a literary journey that demonstrates how courage, honor and perseverance can overcome great odds and bring great happiness. Park effectively conveys 12th century Korea in this masterful piece of historical fiction." (Kathleen Odean, chair of the Newbery Award Selection Committee)

Book Description
"The minutiae of daily life - paintings and movie posters, dime-store novels and daily newspapers, figurines and mannequins, decals and stenciled graffiti - here are laid out as artifacts pointing to a bigger vision of the world as we know it. Patriotism, consumerism, censorship, nostalgia for a simpler past coupled with a desire for a less complicated present...touching on all these themes, Bergerson's quietly ironic but empathetic tone encourages the reader to imagine how our own ordinary surroundings might appear in a hundred or more years' time."--BOOK JACKET.
