Book Description
A bold new history of the American presidency, arguing that the successful presidents of the past created unrealistic expectations for every president since JFK, with enormously problematic implications for American politics In The Impossible Presidency, celebrated historian Jeremi Suri charts the rise and fall of the American presidency, from the limited role envisaged by the Founding Fathers to its current status as the most powerful job in the world. He argues that the presidency is a victim of its own success-the vastness of the job makes it almost impossible to fulfill the expectations placed upon it. As managers of the world's largest economy and military, contemporary presidents must react to a truly globalized world in a twenty-four-hour news cycle. There is little room left for bold vision. Suri traces America's disenchantment with our recent presidents to the inevitable mismatch between presidential promises and the structural limitations of the office. A masterful reassessment of presidential history, this book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand America's fraught political climate.

Book Description
An ancient relic threatens to destroy the world, and a tattooed man with no memory begins an adventure cloaked in mystery. Alex Sheridan has powers. He never questions why he can manipulate locks, phase out of sight, or read people’s emotions; he just knows that he can. With his abilities, he’s an expert at stealing rare items to order, and does it without guilt. But with his adoptive parents dead, his partner murdered, and no idea who he really is, he journeys to Greece to face his past. Only instead of finding family and the reason for the scars he’s covered in tattoos; he’s pulled into the mystery of an ancient story and a new love. Luke MacKinnon is a professor of ancient languages, and he instinctively knows Alex is no ordinary man. The first time they meet, Luke is intrigued by Alex’s tattoos written in a language long forgotten, and his eyes that hold a millennium of secrets. When their paths cross for a second time, he’s told that Alex is his soulmate, but even if he believed that, what kind of god would put him together with a criminal who steals the very things that Alex wants to study? When they work together to locate the Oracle, it’s only because both men have targets on their backs. Despite the evil that wants the Oracle, can Alex and Luke find love, or is finding the truth the end of them both? This MM Gay Paranormal Romantic Suspense from RJ Scott includes soulmates who would die for each other, secrets and lies, murder, an ancient curse, and of course a happily ever after.

Book Description
Learn the Words. Get the blood. Rule the world. The Ustari Cycle starts here. From the "exhilarating, powerful, and entertaining" (Guardian) storyteller of the Avery Cates series comes a gritty supernatural thriller featuring a pair of unlikely heroes caught up in the underground world of blood magic. Magicians: they are not good people. The ethics in a world of blood are gray—and an underground strata of blood magicians has been engineering disasters for centuries in order to acquire enough fuel for their spells. Although in the modern world these mages stay in the shadows, their exploits have become no less bloody. Still, some practitioners use the Words and a swipe of the blade to cast simpler spells, such as Charms and Cantrips to gas up $1 bills so they appear to be $20s. Lem Vonnegan and his sidekick Mags fall into this level of mage, hustlers and con men all. Lem tries to be ethical by using only his own blood, by not using Bleeders or "volunteers." But it makes life hard. Soon they might have to get honest work. When the pair encounter a girl who's been kidnapped and marked up with magic runes for a ritual spell, it's clear they're in over their heads. Turning to Lem's estranged Master for help, they are told that not only is the girl's life all but forfeit, but that the world's preeminent mage, Mika Renar, has earth-shattering plans for her—and Lem just got in the way. With the fate of the world on the line, and Lem both spooked and intrigued by the mysterious girl, the other nominate him to become the huckleberry who'll take down Renar. But even if he, Mags, and the simpletons who follow him prevail, they're dealing with the kind of power that doesn't understand defeat, or mercy. (The first portion of We Are Not Good People was originally published in an altered form as Trickster by Pocket Books).
