'Exquisitely written ... Be prepared to be swept away on an
incredible journey' Brad Thor, #1 bestselling author of Black Ice
'A story about magical maps that lead to your heart's desire [and]
the people who would do anything to find them ... A vastly rich
experience' Charles Soule, author of The Oracle Year There are some
maps you can lose yourself in... Nell Young has lived her life in
and around maps. Her father, Dr. David Young, was one of the most
respected cartographers in the world. But this morning he was found
dead - or murdered? - in his office at the New York Public Library.
Nell hadn't spoken to her father in years, ever since he fired her
after an argument over a seemingly worthless highway roadside map.
A map which was mass-produced - and every copy of which is now
being found and destroyed. But why? To answer that question, Nell
will embark on a dangerous journey into the heart of a conspiracy
beyond belief, the secrets behind her family, and the true power
that lies in maps . . . THE CARTOGRAPHERS is a story about Art and
Science: where they meet, how they both enrich our lives, and how
each defines the other. And it's a book about the mystery, history,
and ineffable romance of maps.

Set in a dangerous near future world, The Book of M tells the
captivating story of ordinary people caught in an extraordinary
catastrophe, risking everything to save the ones they love. In the
middle of a market in India, a man's shadow disappears. This
mysterious phenomenon spreads like a plague, and while those
afflicted gain a strange new power, it comes at a horrible price:
the loss of all their memories. Two years later, Ory and Max have
escaped the Forgetting by hiding in an abandoned hotel deep in the
woods. Their new life feels almost normal, until one day Max's
shadow disappears. Knowing that her condition makes her dangerous,
Max runs away. But Ory refuses to give up the time they have left
together. Desperate to find Max before her memories disappear, he
sets out into a perilous, unrecognizable world.
