Tucker’s Countryside

John Jakes

Georgia

John Jakes, “the godfather of the historical novel” (Los Angeles Times), leaves the South to travel north for an epic tale of scandalous doings in one of the world’s most famous resorts. In the late nineteenth century, Newport, Rhode Island, was a cauldron of undeclared class warfare where reputations were made and lost in a whirlwind of parties and fancied slights. Where giant marble mansions called “cottages” arose and where—amid the glamour of yacht races, tennis matches, and costume balls—depression, even madness, sometimes followed social failure.In 1893, Sam Driver, railroad mogul and one of the few surviving robber barons of the lawless years after the Civil War, knocks on the door of fabled Newport together with his daughter, Jenny, determined not to be turned away a second time.The first time, his new money was tainted by his rapacious reputation and his dealings with some of the most dishonest businessmen of the era. The Drivers find that some who know Sam’s past won’t let it rest. One enemy with a pedigree of wealth and position vows to slam every door in Sam’s face.But Sam plunges in, determined to win a place in the strange, rarefied world of Newport’s brief summer season, presided over by social gadflies Ward McAllister and the androgynous Harry Lehr, both of whom will assist the Drivers . . . for a price. Sam’s daughter wants the best that Newport offers but finds herself drawn into a dangerous romance with an impoverished young Irishman.The Gods of Newportbrings this gilded age of excess to thrilling life. It was a time and place whose extremes of greed, conspicuous consumption, and social striving have an astonishing resonance and relevance for the America we see around us today.

Denis Leary

The New York Times bestseller

One of America’s most original and biting comic satirists, Denis Leary takes on all the poseurs, politicians, and pop culture icons who have sucked in public for far too long. Sparing no one, Leary zeroes in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it—his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics—with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows No Cure for CancerLock ’n Load.

Proudly Irish-American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are both penetrating social commentary with no holds barred and laugh-out-loud funny. As always, Leary’s impassioned comic perspective in Why We Suck is right on target.

Leary is the star and co-creator of the Emmy-nominated television show Rescue Me.

A Training Guide

The Knights' Code is an ancient book: a guide every knight-in-training receives upon entering Knighton's prestigious Knights Academy. This unique format looks just like the ACTUAL Knights' Code from the NEXO KNIGHTS TV show! Updated with the latest technological advances by the NEXO KNIGHTS themselves, this book contains Knightly codes of conduct, detailed descriptions of power-ups and the latest weaponry, critical information on Knighton and wizard history, and much, much more.



Like the Book of Monsters before it, this is a beautifully illustrated guide designed to look like an in-world book. In this case, it belongs to the leader of the NEXO KNIGHTS team-Clay. Clay is constantly referring to The Knights' Code in the series, and the characters use it as a guide for how to battle the evil monsters they face. The format is intended to feel deluxe, and as if it's an artifact from the actual TV show.

A Novel

New from Ian McEwan, Booker Prize winner and international bestselling author of Atonement and The Children Act Machines Like Me occurs in an alternative 1980s London. Britain has lost the Falklands War, Margaret Thatcher battles Tony Benn for power, and Alan Turing achieves a breakthrough in artificial intelligence. In a world not quite like this one, two lovers will be tested beyond their understanding. Charlie, drifting through life and dodging full-time employment, is in love with Miranda, a bright student who lives with a terrible secret. When Charlie comes into money, he buys Adam, one of the first batch of synthetic humans. With Miranda's assistance, he co-designs Adam's personality. This near-perfect human is beautiful, strong, and clever--a love triangle soon forms. These three beings will confront a profound moral dilemma. Ian McEwan's subversive and entertaining new novel poses fundamental questions: What makes us human? Our outward deeds or our inner lives? Could a machine understand the human heart? This provocative and thrilling tale warns against the power to invent things beyond our control.
