FBI agent Rachel Walling finally gets the call she's dreaded for years, the one that tells her the Poet has surfaced. She has never forgotten the serial killer who wove lines of poetry in his hideous crimes-and apparently he has not forgotten her.
Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call, too-from the widow of an old friend. Her husband's death seems natural, but his ties to the hunt for the Poet make Bosch dig deep. Arriving at a derelict spot in the California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies, Bosch joins forces with Rachel. Now the two are at odds with the FBI...and squarely in the path of the Poet, who will lead them on a wicked ride out of the heat, through the narrows of evil, and into a darkness all his own…

Breakfast of Champions is vintage Vonnegut. One of his favorite characters, aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. The result is murderously funny satire as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth.

Michael Bernard Beckwith, the dynamic spiritual leader who touched millions of people in The Secret, and through the spiritual community he founded -- the Agape International Spiritual Center -- is now sharing his transforming central message, a process he calls "aspiring toward spiritual liberation."
Michael Beckwith teaches that inner spiritual work, not religiosity or dogma, liberates us. He draws on a wide spectrum of ancient wisdom teachers such as Jesus the Christ and Gautama the Buddha; contemporary spiritual luminaries Thich Nhat Hanh, Sri Aurobindo, and the Dalai Lama; and Western contributors to the New Thought tradition of spirituality such as Emmanuel Swedenborg, Walter Russell, and Dr. Howard Thurman to create a profound new belief synthesis.
Spiritual Liberation can be included during meditation or prayer. Each chapter includes an affirmation, which distills its core concepts into a sentence or two for the listener to easily practice throughout the day. The core concepts of Beckwith's teachings are cohesively conceived, and convincingly stated, and bring together insights from a range of spiritual paths to form a coherent practice that is neither Eastern nor Western, but spiritually global. Regardless of their belief system, listeners will find it impossible to finish Spiritual Liberation without at least a few "Aha!" moments.

Imzadi: to the people of the planet Betazed, including counsellor Deanna Troi of the Starship Enterprise, it means "beloved" and denotes a special closeness that can never be truly broken. Or can it?
Best selling author Peter David explored the special bond between Troi and Commander Riker in his earlier novel, Imzadi. Now, he examines the heart of Deanna Troi from an altogether different perspective, as he reveals for the first time the full story of Troi's troubled romance with Lieutenant Commander Worf.
At first glance, they cannot be more different. She is an empath, gentle and acutely sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. He is a fierce Klingon warrior, dedicated to a harsh and war-like code of honor. Brought together, however, by a common need to care for Alexander, Worf's troubled, motherless son, they discover hidden reserves of courage and compassion within each other and embark on an unexpected courtship, much to the suprise and discomfort of William Riker.
But does Worf's future really lie with Deanna...or on a distant outpost called Deep Space Nine?
And who shall Troi ultimately call Imzadi? Imzadi ll is a compelling story about an untold chapter in the history of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

From 1939 to 1946 Americans gathered around the radio to listen to The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes-featuring Basil Rathbone as the high-strung crime-solver and Nigel Bruce as his phlegmatic assistant, Dr. Watson.
Witty, fast-paced and always surprising, these great radio plays, written by the prolific writing team of Anthony Boucher and Denis Green, are as fresh today as they were then.
The latest audio technology has been employed to bring the best possible quality and fidelity to these original performances, which feature nostalgic war-time announcements, original narrations and radio commercials.
Volume 1 presents two classic tales: The Unfortunate Tobacconist, and The Paradol Chamber.
