The Year of Our War $9.99 Unique among his fellow immortals and mortal folk alike, Jant Comet can fly. His talent is a gift and a curse that has earned him a place in the Castle Circle as Messenger to the Emperor San — soaring high and free above the bloody battlefields of his world, carrying word back to his master of progress and regress in the ever-escalating conflict between man and the awful armies of giant, flesh-devouring insects. But while Jant’s duty is to remain neutral in the petty squabbles and power plays of the fifty who will neither age nor die naturally, bitter rivalries that have festered for centuries now threaten to incite a savage civil war. And Jant may be the only being alive capable of stemming the onrushing tide of destruction and the unstoppable insect infestation. For only he can gain entrance — through extreme doses of the narcotic that owns his soul — into a place of darkest wonders and revelations; a strange and horrific alternate reality that none but Jant Comet believes exists. A literary triumph of the first water — bold, stylish, and breathtakingly original — Steph Swainston’s The Year of Our War ascends like a rocket to the upper reaches of the imagination and loudly heralds the arrival of a true modern master of the fantastic. |

Lincoln’s Darkest Year: The War in 1862 $17.39 A revealing look at Lincoln’s actions in 1862-and a nation in the midst of war Lincoln’s Darkest Year offers a gripping narrative of 1862 a pivotal year in our country’s Civil War. Marvel continues the story he began in Mr. Lincoln Goes to War which focused on Lincoln’s first year in office again relying on recently unearthed primary sources and little-known accounts to paint a picture of this critical year in newfound detail. Lincoln’s Darkest Year highlights not just the actions but also the deeper motivations of the major figures including General Ulysses S. Grant Jefferson Davis George McClellan Stonewall Jackson and most notably Lincoln himself. As the action darts from the White House to the battlefields and back Marvel sheds new light on the hardships endured by everyday citizens and the substantial and sustained public opposition to the war. The second in a planned four-part series on the Civil War and the first major reexamination in over fifty years Lincoln’s Darkest Year stands apart from traditional assumptions and narratives about the early years of the Civil War. Marvel combines fluid prose and scholarship with the skills of an investigative historical detective to unearth the true story of our nation’s greatest crisis. |

War $9.99 They were collectively known as "The Rock." For one year, in 2007-2008, Sebastian Junger accompanied 30 men a single platoon from the storied 2nd battalion of the U.S. Army as they fought their way through a remote valley in eastern Afghanistan.Over the course of five trips, Junger was in more firefights than he could count, as men he knew were killed or wounded and he himself was almost killed. His relationship with these soldiers grew so close that they considered him part of the platoon, and he enjoyed an access and a candidness that few, if any, journalists ever attain. War is a narrative about combat: the fear of dying, the trauma of killing and the love between platoon-mates who would rather perish than let each other down. Gripping, honest and intense, War explores the neurological, psychological and social elements of combat, as well as the incredible bonds that form between these small groups of men. This is not a book about Afghanistan or the "War on Terror"; it is a book about all men, in all wars. Junger set out to answer what he thought of as the "hand-grenade question": why would a man throw himself on a hand grenade to save other men he has known for probably only a few months? The answer is elusive but profound, going to the heart of what it means not just to be a soldier, but to be human. |
