FIRST WE RECEIVED THE WARNING, NOW AMERICA MUST FACE THE
ULTIMATUM...
Eighteen months ago, Buddy Korda warned the nation that an
economic disaster was on the horizon. Now families across the
country are living out the grim reality of the second depression of
the twentieth century. Some say it was just a coincidence. Others
say he caused the crisis by frightening investors out of the stock
market.
But Korda's warning was not a mere prediction. It was a divine
message. And now Buddy has received another message -- this time
more than a warning, an ultimatum.
God's call leads the reluctant prophet to Washington, D.C.,
where his friends -- including Linda Kee, a well-known reporter
familiar with the D.C. power structure -- coordinate the effort to
bring America face to face with its heritage and its destiny. This
historic movement threatens to transform the current political
process. And the Washington power brokers will do anything to keep
Korda from succeeding.
Having grown up in the long shadow of the Korean War, Yewon is stuck in her small village. She dreams of a hotel, where there are infinite keys to infinite rooms - and a quiet terror she is desperate to escape. But when her little brother is conscripted into the South Korean army, Yewon's dreams start to seep into her reality, and she is forced to confront the unsettling truth about her country... Stylish, visceral and haunting, The Invisible Hotel is an unforgettable literary horror about the human consequences of war, and the toll of being born into a conflict that shows no signs of stopping.
'One of the greatest novels ever written' Philippe Sands Set
against the doomed splendour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The
Radetzky March tells the story of the celebrated Trotta family,
tracing their rise and fall over three generations. Theirs is a
sweeping history of heroism and duty, desire and compromise,
tragedy and heartbreak, a story that lasts until the darkening eve
of World War One, when all is set to fall apart. Rich, epic and
profoundly moving, The Radetzky March is Joseph Roth's timeless
masterpiece.
