Orbital
Six astronauts orbit Earth sixteen times in twenty-four hours. Harvey makes you feel every pass.
Every Man for Himself and God Against All
Herzog has lived many lives and exudes an endless curiosity—as if, as a child, he fell into a Bavarian creek awash with potion and clambered out anew, like some German Obelix.
Prophet Song
Relentless and unforgiving; a whirlwind of a novel about a country on the brink of totalitarianism.
Cheri
An elegant, devastating novella about the march towards a certain death—one that Beard, somehow, makes bearable.
August Blue
A concert pianist who walked off stage in Vienna and spent the rest of the novel trying to figure out who she is.
