"The Lanzis: The Boundless Shades of Life," is the story of the Lanzi family, bursting with reality; painful, beautiful and remorseless. The author, Giancarlo Gabbrielli, takes you to Tuscany and into the period that followed the Great War, during the time of the rise of Fascism and finally into the specter of World War II.

Well-known events are seen through new eyes, in an original and refreshingly appealing way. The story portrays 'real' people as they are seldom characterized in American literature; real, raw and full of emotion. "The Lanzis: The Boundless Shades of Life" chronicles a proud family who resist the pressures of an autocratic Regime. They find love amidst the hatred of a savage world while they endeavor to maintain a healthy, balanced perspective on their friends and their enemies. 'Hold your friends close and your enemies closer' becomes their way of life. This is also the poignant story of a young boy, sexually coming of age, and his innocence set against the backdrop of the war.

Kim Jon Il holds an iron grip over North Korea, and the world can only wonder what the secretive leader is doing within his borders.

The deputy director of the CIA, Bob Wells, intends to discover the truth. He knows that if he doesn't, the world could see an attack similar to 9/11, or even worse. With the country's security at stake, and confidence in the intelligence agency shaken, he can't allow such a disaster.

The only person qualified to find out what the North Koreans are doing is Dr. Jon London, but the former operative turned his back on clandestine assignments two years ago. Now, he shares a quiet life as a university professor with the love of his life, Dr. Kim Lake, who knows nothing about his connection to the CIA.

Suddenly, London finds himself enmeshed in a life he thought he'd left behind. He'll journey all over the world and enter a land that hardly anyone knows anything about in his efforts to thwart disaster in Broken Border.

A cavalcade of the medieval world within two classic novels of historical fiction
Despite his success with his famous fictional detective, Arthur Conan Doyle's first love was the historical novel and in his own estimation he wrote few better than the two collected together in this book. 'Sir Nigel' was actually written after 'The White Company, ' but in the Leonaur edition it appears first since within it the reader is introduced to one of the principal characters of both novels-Sir Nigel Loring. The scene for these adventures is England and France in the 14th Century against a backdrop of The Hundred Years War. Young Nigel in service to his king, Edward III begins his career as a squire. It is the start a 'rites of passage' journey which will include the Black Prince among other notables of the period, skirmishes at sea and ultimately the monumental Battle of Poitiers. 'The White Company' continues Sir Nigel's story as once again he campaigns against the French, this time in company with a new young hero, Alleyne Edricson. As usual this Leonaur edition allows collectors to own these essential novels as a combined set within a single substantial volume available in both soft back and hardcover with dust jacket.

The triumphant new novel from the author of the Orange Prize-winning Fugitive Pieces: a soaring and luminous story of chance and change.

1917. On a battlefield near the River Aisne, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory – a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night, his childhood on a faraway coast – as the snow falls.

1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near another river – alive, but not still whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and endeavours to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in his pictures: ghosts whose messages he cannot understand.

So begins a narrative that spans four generations, moments of connection and consequence igniting and re-igniting as the century unfolds. In luminous moments of desire, comprehension, longing, transcendence, the sparks fly upward, working their transformations decades later.

Held is a novel like no other, by a writer at the height of her powers: affecting and intensely beautiful, full of mystery, wisdom and compassion.
