The Biggest Thriller of The Year Has Arrived. A decadent rock star.
A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage
girl who may be the world's last hope. From the mind of Chuck
Wendig comes an astonishing tapestry of humanity that Harlan Coben
calls "a suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising,
thought-provoking epic." Shana wakes up one morning to discover her
little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be
sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is
heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only
she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are
joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same
mysterious journey. And, like Shana, there are other "shepherds"
who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the
long dark road ahead. For on their journey, they will discover an
America convulsed with terror and violence, where this apocalyptic
epidemic proves less dangerous than the fear of it. As the rest of
society collapses all around them-and an ultraviolent militia
threatens to exterminate them-the fate of the sleepwalkers depends
on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying
secret will either tear the nation apart-or bring the survivors
together to remake a shattered world.

The epic sequel to Chuck Wendig's apocalyptic literary masterpiece
WANDERERS. HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THE END OF THE WORLD? Five years ago,
a group of ordinary Americans fell under the grip of a strange new
malady that caused them to sleepwalk across the country. They were
followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family who
gave up everything to protect them. Their destination, Ouray,
became one of the last outposts of civilization, because the
sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a chain of events that
led to the end of the world - and the birth of a new one. But the
people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and their new world is
fragile. Forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing under the
leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel. And in the very
heart of Ouray, the most powerful survivor of all is plotting its
own vision for the new world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the
apocalypse. Against these threats, they have only one hope: one
another. Because the only way to survive the end of the world is
together. 'As great as Wanderers was, Wayward is better . . .
Combines grim extrapolation, great characters, and hope.'
Christopher Golden 'Salient, masterful, this is an author at the
top of his game.' Adam Christopher 'IMAX-scale bleeding-edge
techno-horror from a writer with a freshly sharpened scalpel.'

?Thirteen-year-old Molly doesn't know how she got the short end of
the stick-being raised by her neglectful father-while Dustin, the
older brother she's never met, got their mother and the keys to the
family estate. But now the siblings are both orphaned, she's come
home for her inheritance, and if Dustin won't welcome her into the
family business, then she'll happily take her half in cash. There's
just one problem: the family business is a mortuary for monsters,
and Molly's not sure she's ready to deal with mysterious doors,
talking wolves, a rogue devourer of magic, and a secret cemetery.
It's going to take all of Dustin's stuffy supernatural knowledge
and Molly's most heroic cosplay (plus a little help from non-human
friends) for the siblings to figure it out and save the day...if
only they can get along for five minutes. Bestselling author Chuck
Wendig's middle grade debut is equal parts spooky, funny, and
heartfelt-perfect for Halloween and year-round reading!

The first book in the Miriam Black series: "A sassy, hard-boiled
thriller with a paranormal slant" (The Guardian) about a young
woman who can see the darkest corners of the future. Miriam Black
knows how you're going to die. This makes her daily life a living
hell, especially when you can't do anything about it, or stop
trying to. She's foreseen hundreds of car crashes, heart attacks,
strokes, and suicides. She merely needs to touch you--skin to skin
contact--and she knows how and when your final moments will occur.
Miriam has given up trying to save people; that only makes their
deaths happen. But then she hitches a ride with Louis Darling and
shakes his hand, and she sees in thirty days that Louis will be
murdered while he calls her name. Louis will die because he met
her, and Miriam will be the next victim. No matter what she does
she can't save Louis. But if she wants to stay alive, she'll have
to try. "Think Six Feet Under co-written by Stephen King and Chuck
Palahniuk" (SFX), and you have Blackbirds a visceral, exciting
novel about life on the edge.
For several years, Chuck has crafted hilarious and inspirational
thoughts of the day--they might begin with an optimistic salvo, but
inevitably and mirthfully detour into the demon-summoning,
robot-making, or confirming that humans are actually mythical
hybrid creatures. Equal parts inspiring, sweet, and very funny,
Wendig's profane and imaginative galvanizing quips in You Can Do
Anything, Magic Skeleton! are sure to amp up readers and motivate
them to get things done.
Miriam Black is trying to live an ordinary life, keeping her
ability to see how someone dies hidden...until a serial killer
crosses her path. This is the second book in the Miriam Black
series. "Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with
emotional rawness that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture
of life on the edge." --Publishers Weekly Miriam is trying. Really,
she is. But this whole "settling down thing" just isn't working
out. She lives on Long Beach Island all year in a run-down,
double-wide trailer. She works at a grocery store as a checkout
girl. And her relationship with Louis--who's on the road half the
time in his truck--is subject to the mood swings Miriam brings to
everything she does. It just isn't going well. Still, she's keeping
her psychic ability--to see when and how someone is going to die
just by touching them--in check. But even that feels wrong somehow.
Like she's keeping a tornado stopped up in a tiny bottle. Then
comes the one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
The Sunday Times Bestseller Following Star Wars: Aftermath and Star
Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating conclusion
to the bestselling trilogy set in the years between Return of the
Jedi and The Force Awakens. As the final showdown between the New
Republic and the Empire draws near, all eyes turn to a
once-isolated planet: Jakku. The Battle of Endor shattered the
Empire, scattering its remaining forces across the galaxy. But the
months following the Rebellion's victory have not been easy. The
fledgling New Republic has suffered a devastating attack from the
Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy to escalate their hunt
for the hidden enemy. For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand
Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war criminal-and
one-time rebel pilot Norra Wexley, back in service at Leia's urgent
request, is leading the hunt. But more than just loyalty to the New
Republic drives Norra forward: her husband was turned into a
murderous pawn in Sloane's assassination plot, and now she wants
vengeance as much as justice. But Sloane, too, is on a furious
quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax to the barren planet
Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire's devastating
attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The cunning
strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire's war
machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine's final
plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic
fighters closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her
crew soar into the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave
land and sky alike scorched. And the future of the galaxy will
finally be decided.
A World Fantasy Award Nominee! The award-winning and
critically-acclaimed master of horror returns with a pair of
chilling tales that examine the violence and depravity of the human
condition. Bringing together his acclaimed novella The Sea Dreams
It Is the Sky and an all-new short novel My Heart Struck Sorrow,
John Hornor Jacobs turns his fertile imagination to the evil that
breeds within the human soul. A brilliant mix of the psychological
and supernatural, blending the acute insight of Roberto Bolano and
the eerie imagination of H. P. Lovecraft, The Sea Dreams It Is the
Sky examines life in a South American dictatorship. Centered on the
journal of a poet-in-exile and his failed attempts at translating a
maddening text, it is told by a young woman trying to come to grips
with a country that nearly devoured itself. In My Heart Struck
Sorrow, a librarian discovers a recording from the Deep South-which
may be the musical stylings of the Devil himself. Breathtaking and
haunting, A Lush and Seething Hell is a terrifying and exhilarating
journey into the darkness, an odyssey into the deepest reaches of
ourselves that compels us to confront secrets best left hidden.

The Emperor is dead, and the remnants of his former Empire are in
retreat. As the New Republic fights to restore a lasting peace to
the galaxy, some dare to imagine new beginnings and new destinies.
For Han Solo, that means settling his last outstanding debt, by
helping Chewbacca liberate the Wookiee's homeworld of Kashyyyk.
Meanwhile, Norra Wexley and her band of Imperial hunters pursue
Grand Admiral Rae Sloane and the Empire's remaining leadership
across the galaxy. Even as more and more officers are brought to
justice, Sloane continues to elude the New Republic, and Norra
fears Sloane may be searching for a means to save the crumbling
Empire from oblivion. But the hunt for Sloane is cut short when
Norra receives an urgent request from Princess Leia Organa. The
attempt to liberate Kashyyyk has carried Han Solo, Chewbacca, and a
band of smugglers into an ambush-resulting in Chewie's capture and
Han's disappearance. Breaking away from their official mission and
racing toward Kashyyyk, Norra and her crew prepare for any
challenge that stands between them and their missing comrades. But
they can't anticipate the true depth of the danger that awaits
them-or the ruthlessness of the enemy drawing them into his
crosshairs.

A family returns to their hometown - and to the dark past that
haunts them still - in this masterpiece of literary horror by the
New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers When Nate's father
dies, he leaves behind a final gift for his son: his childhood
home. Married now, Nate decides to move in with his wife, Maddie,
and their son, Oliver, seeking peace from the chaos of the city.
But it doesn't take long before things get strange in the night and
even stranger by day. Because Nate was a child being abused by his
father, and has never told his family. Because Maddie was a little
girl who saw something she shouldn't have. Because something
sinister, something hungry, walks in the tunnels and the mountains
and the coal mines of this town in rural Pennsylvania... And now,
what happened all those years ago is happening again, and this
time, it is happening to Oliver. When he meets a strange boy with
secrets of his own and a taste for dark magic, he has no idea that
what comes next will put his family at the heart of a battle of
good versus evil.

'The dread, the scope, the pacing, the turns-I haven't felt all
this so intensely since The Shining' - Stephen Graham Jones
'Universally horrifying and viscerally intimate, Wendig brilliantly
uses The Book of Accidents to explore a painful truth: in the end,
we all haunt ourselves' - Kiersten White
The storyline continues from the end of Return Of The Jedi in a new trilogy of books that will lead up to the adventure Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The second Death Star has been destroyed, the Emperor killed, and Darth Vader struck down. Devastating blows against the Empire, and major victories for the Rebel Alliance. But the battle for freedom is far from over.
As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance―now a fledgling New Republic―presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy’s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.
Meanwhile, on the planet’s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native world―war weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antilles’s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesn’t know is just how close the enemy is―or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.
Determined to preserve the Empire’s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summit―to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven’t reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies―her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defector―who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empire’s oppressive reign once and for all.
In the sixth and final thriller of the "wildly entertaining"
(Kirkus Reviews) Miriam Black series, Miriam tries to break the
curse of her powers, but first she must face The Trespasser a final
time. Still reeling from the events of The Raptor and the Wren,
Miriam must confront two terrifying discoveries: the Trespasser now
has the power to inhabit the living as well as the dead, and Miriam
is pregnant. Miriam knows her baby is fated to die, but Miriam is
the Fatebreaker. And if the rules have changed for her nemesis, her
own powers are changing as well. Miriam will do whatever it takes
to break her curse and save her child. But as Miriam once again
finds herself on the hunt for a serial killer and in need of an
elusive physic, she can feel the threads of her past coming
together--and the pattern they're forming is deadly. To end the
Trespasser's influence in her world, Miriam must face her demon a
final time. And, this time, one of them must die. Vultures is a
heart-pounding conclusion to the series: "Think Six Feet Under
cowritten by Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk" (SFX).
