Alien Hearts was the last book that Guy de Maupassant finished before his death at the early age of forty-three. It is the most original and psychologically penetrating of his several novels, and the one in which he attains a truly tragic perception of the wounded human heart. André Mariolle is a rich, handsome, gifted young man who cannot settle on what to do with himself. Madame de Burne, a glacially dazzling beauty, wants Mariolle to attend her exclusive salon for artists, composers, writers, and other intellectuals. At first Mariolle keeps his distance, but then he hits on the solution to all his problems: caring for nothing in particular, he will devote himself to being in love; Madame de Burne will be his everything. Soon lover and beloved are equally lost within a hall of mirrors of their common devising. Richard Howard’s new English translation of this complex and brooding novel—the first in more than a hundred years—reveals the final, unexpected flowering of a great French realist’s art.

Today, almost two decades after her death, Margaret Laurence remains one of Canada's best-known and most beloved writers. Twice winner of the Governor General's Award for fiction, she was, as the late William French wrote, "more profoundly admired than any other Canadian novelist of her generation." Lyall Powers is both a respected scholar of literature and a lifelong friend of Laurence's, having met her when they were students together at Winnipeg's United College in the 1940s. Alien Heart is the first full-length biography of Margaret that combines personal knowledge and insights about Laurence with a study of her work, which often paralleled the events and concerns in her own life. Drawing on letters, personal correspondence, journals, and interviews, Lyall Powers discusses the struggles and triumphs Laurence experienced in her efforts to understand herself in the roles of writer, wife, mother, and public figure. He portrays a deeply compassionate and courageous woman, who yet felt troubled by conflicting demands. While Laurence's work is not directly autobiographical, Powers illustrates how her writing expressed many of the same dilemmas, and how the resolution her characters achieved in the novels and stories had an impact on Laurence's own life. Powers provides an in-depth analysis of all Laurence's work, including the early African essays, fiction, and translations, and her books for children, as well as the beloved Manawaka fiction. The study clearly shows the progression and expression of Laurence as a writer of great humanity and conscience.

Landon Evans is an unwilling recruit in Earth's fight against alien invasion. Tall, bristling with muscles, Landon is every commander's ideal soldier. But Landon hates fighting and hates the dark void of space. For a loner like Landon, the only good part of his new life in the military are the friends he's made. When a mission goes horribly wrong, Landon finds himself a prisoner of Earth's enemies - the brutal animalistic Sorg aliens and the technologically superior and ethereal Hush. Both see the same potential in Landon that Earth commanders saw- Landon's height and strength, the body of a warrior. Now Landon must decide if his loyalty lies with his friends and his home world, or with the austere and beautiful young Hush commander he has come to admire.

I'm officially Agron's most wanted. What's scarier than being abducted from Earth and almost eaten by cannibals? The idea of falling in love with a huge alien warrior. Just a few days ago, I was living my best life. Now? I'm on the run on a strange alien planet. Thanks to my short temper and a severe lack of self-control, I'm being hunted, and it's only a matter of time before I end up captured or dead. Now, a hulking Braxian warrior has found me, right when it looked like I had no way out. To say that it's suspicious timing is an understatement. Everyone knows you can't trust the tall, dark, handsome types. Vrex may have his own reasons for joining me on this rollercoaster ride, but all I know is that I need his help. Now, I just have to convince him to help me sneak into the dragon's territory and find Charlie, who the beast seems to think belongs to him. Cause the aliens who bought us? They weren't alone. Their friends are on their way to Agron. Us human women need to stick together if we're going to get off this planet alive. As for Vrex? If he helps me, I'll be in his debt. If there's one thing I've learned about the giant warrior, it's that he always gets what he's owed. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it...
