The Boy With The Star Tattoo: A Journey of Love, Loss, and Redemption

A Compelling Historical Saga Spanning Decades

From the acclaimed author of "The Third Daughter" comes an epic historical novel that weaves together a tapestry of love, loss, and courage set against the backdrop of postwar France. "The Boy With The Star Tattoo" follows the intertwined destinies of Claudette Pelletier, a young seamstress, and Daniel Yarden, an Israeli naval officer, whose lives become intertwined by a shared past shrouded in mystery.

The Heartbreak of War and the Unbreakable Bond of Motherhood

In 1942, as the Vichy government intensifies its persecution of Jews, Claudette finds herself falling in love with a Jewish man seeking refuge at the château where she works. Their whirlwind romance is cut short by the war, leaving Claudette pregnant and heartbroken.

As the Nazi invasion reaches the Free Zone, Claudette is forced to make a devastating choice: flee to Spain, leaving her newborn baby behind in the care of his nursemaid. When Claudette finally returns, years later, she discovers her son has disappeared. Unbeknownst to her, he has been rescued by a Youth Aliyah agent, an organization dedicated to rescuing Jewish orphans.

A Search for Identity and a Daring Operation

In 1968, Israeli naval officer Daniel Yarden is tasked with a secret naval operation in Cherbourg, France. He finds himself entangled with Sharon Bloomenthal, a young woman haunted by the recent loss of her fiancé. Sharon is consumed by a desire to uncover the truth about her late mother, a mystery she believes is linked to Danny's past with Youth Aliyah.

Sharon embarks on a quest across France, following the breadcrumbs of clues that lead her to a quaint village where Danny spent his childhood. As she delves deeper into Danny's past, she uncovers the profound impact of his experience as an orphan, a journey that shaped him into the man he is today.

A Collision of Past and Present

While Danny dedicates himself to the future of his people, executing a crucial operation under the radar of French authorities, he remains oblivious to Sharon's relentless pursuit of the truth. Sharon's investigation leads her to a crucial realization, but it also thrusts her into a moral dilemma that forces her to confront her own past and the complexities of love, loss, and forgiveness.

"The Boy With The Star Tattoo" is a captivating read that masterfully blends historical drama, thrilling espionage, and deeply moving personal journeys. The author’s vivid descriptions of the time period, the intricacies of the characters, and the poignant exploration of the lasting effects of trauma create a compelling narrative that will resonate long after the final page.

American Traitor: A Novel (Pike Logan, 15)

New York Times Bestseller

“Brad Taylor is the best action writer in the business today, and Pike Logan is the right hero for our time.” — William H. McRaven, Adm, U.S. Navy (Ret.) and author of Make Your Bed

Pike Logan is on the desperate hunt for a man who is about to betray his country—and ignite a horrific new world war—in this pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor.

Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are enjoying a sunny vacation down under when they get disturbing news: their friend and colleague Clifford Delmonty is in serious trouble. While working as a contractor at an Australian F-35 facility, the former Taskforce member—callsign Dunkin—saw something he shouldn’t have, and now he’s on the run from Chinese agents.

Pike and Jennifer soon discover that Dunkin’s attackers are a dangerous link to a much larger scheme that could launch a full-on conflict between China and Taiwan. In its quest for dominance, China is determined to reclaim Taiwan—a pivotal ally the United States has sworn to protect. Pike learns that the Chinese have a devious plan to bait the island nation into all-out war by destabilizing the government and manipulating an artificial intelligence defense system.

As the threat reaches a boiling point, Pike alone realizes that what they’re seeing isn’t actually real. A soldier who has always been trained to fight and win, Pike must now track down and neutralize the missing man who holds the key. With the help of Jennifer, the Taskforce team, and a brave Taiwanese intelligence agent, he races to prevent a catastrophic conflict from consuming a whole region of the world.

The Excitements: A Novel

"Irresistible...Filled with surprise, poignancy, and excitement, this is a surefire winner." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A brilliant and witty drama about two brave female World War II veterans who survived the unthinkable without ever losing their killer instinct…or their joie de vivre.

Meet the Williamson sisters, Britain’s most treasured World War II veterans. Now in their late nineties, Josephine and Penny are in huge demand, popping up at commemorative events and history festivals all over the country. Despite their age, they’re still in great form—perfectly put together, sprightly and sparky, and always in search of their next “excitement.”

This time it’s a trip to Paris to receive the Légion d’honneur for their part in the liberation of France. And as always, they will be accompanied by their devoted great-nephew, Archie.

Keen historian Archie has always been given to understand that his great aunts had relatively minor roles in the Women’s Royal Navy and the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, but that’s only half the story. Both sisters are hiding far more than the usual “official secrets”. There’s a reason sweet Auntie Penny can dispatch a would-be mugger with an umbrella.

This trip to Paris is not what it seems either. Scandal and crime have always quietly trailed the Williamson sisters, even in the decades after the war. Now armed with new information about an old adversary, these much decorated (but admittedly ancient) veterans variously intend to settle scores, avenge lost friends, and pull off one last, daring heist before the curtain finally comes down on their illustrious careers.

With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy.

All About Love: New Visions

A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces.

“The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love.

As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.

Half Way Home

"Brilliant pacing. Vivid characters. Realistic science. Hugh Howey's Half Way Home tackles the tribal instincts currently tearing the world apart, giving fresh insights into the psychology of group-think. It's Lord of the Flies among the stars!" — Peter Cawdron, author of Retrograde and Reentry

From the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of the Silo Series and the Sand Chronicles comes a story of teenage colonists marooned on a distant plane who must face inhospitable conditions, untrustworthy A.I., and growing tensions within their group in order to survive

WE WOKE IN FIRE

Five hundred colonists have been sent across the stars to settle an alien planet. Vat-grown in a dream-like state, they are educated through simulations by an artificial intelligence and should awaken at thirty years old, fully trained, and ready to tame the new world.

But fifteen years into their journey, an explosion on their vessel kills most of the homesteaders and destroys the majority of their supplies. Worse yet, the sixty that awaken and escape the flames are only half-taught and possess few useful survival skills.

Naked and terrified, the teens stumble from their fiery baptism ill-prepared for the unfamiliar and harsh alien world around them. Though they attempt to work with the colony A.I. to build a home, dissension and misery are rampant, escalating into battles for dominance.

Soon they find that their worst enemy isn’t the hostile environment, the A.I., or the blast that nearly killed them. Their greatest danger is each other.
