Robert R. McCammon’s Boy’s Life meets Lovecraftian horror in this foreboding, sensual coming-of-age debut in which the corrosive nature of family secrets and toxic relatives assume eldritch proportions. "Without question, one of the most beautifully written books I’ve read this year."—The Wall Street Journal "Can a horror story be beautiful? Wild Spaces tells a terrible truth in the most achingly beautiful way."—Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor An eleven-year-old boy lives an idyllic childhood exploring the remote coastal plains and wetlands of South Carolina alongside his parents and his dog Teach. But when the boy’s eerie and estranged grandfather shows up one day with no warning, cracks begin to form as hidden secrets resurface that his parents refuse to explain. The longer his grandfather outstays his welcome and the greater the tension between the adults grows, the more the boy feels something within him changing —physically—into something his grandfather welcomes and his mother fears. Something abyssal. Something monstrous. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

THE ENTHRALLING INSIDE STORY OF THE THAI CAVE RESCUE NOW CHRONICLED IN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC HIT DOCUMENTARY THE RESCUE WRITTEN BY THE MAN AT THE HEART OF THE MISSION 'The British divers are all heroes' Clive Cussler 'A case study in courage' Ron Howard, Oscar-winning director of Apollo 13 ________ 'They were utterly alone inside the mountain, isolated from the rest of the world. They might as well have been on another planet . . .' In July 2018, twelve boys and their football coach disappeared into Tham Luang Cave in Thailand. Trapped miles beneath the surface, not even the Thai Navy SEALs had the skills to bring them to safety. With the floodwater rising rapidly, time was running out . . . Any hope of survival rested on Rick Stanton, a retired Midlands firefighter with a living room full of homemade cave-diving equipment. As unlikely as it seemed, to those in the know, Rick and his partner, John Volanthen, were regarded as the A-team for exactly this kind of mission. The Thai Cave Rescue was the culmination of a lifelong obsession, requiring every ounce of skill and ingenuity accumulated by Rick over a four decade pursuit of the unknown. While the world held its breath, Rick, John and their assembled team raced against time in the face of near impossible odds. There was simply no precedent for what they were attempting to do . . . In Aquanaut Rick reveals the real story of the cave rescue for the first time. And of a life lived without compromise in which any mistake could have been his last. It's an edge-of-your-seat story of courage and conviction that will take you deep into the most remote and unforgiving places on the planet, told with humour, unflinching honesty, and a relentless drive for adventure. ________ 'Diver Rick Stanton relives the rescue of the century' SUNDAY TIMES 'This is their riveting, behind-the-scenes story.

On a small planet, known as the planet of the two suns, people live in peace, and sustain themselves thanks to planting and hunting. Until one day a hundred killer dragons land there, determined to take total control of the planet and forcing all its inhabitants to renounce life on the surface and move to the caves, out of the reach of the dangerous dragons. For many years, life on the planet was a symphony of violence, where humans, when they could, slaughtered dragons on their hunting expeditions; and dragons, for their part, incinerated and dismembered humans at any opportunity that presented themselves. But the king who had ruled the planet of the two suns before the coming of the dragons was determined to drive them out of his territory, and devised a plan to storm the ancient castle where the dragons lived. However, this king died without seeing his plans come to fruition, but Miguel, his son, had sworn to his father to fulfill his dream of returning freedom to his kingdom.

In A Clearing of the Way, John Montfort Gist takes the reader on a strange journey into the realm of mythology, religion and realism. Jacob Izarra, of Basque heritage, has lost his way in America. His journey, at times violent, at other times loving, forces him to define for himself what it is to be an American. At heart, A Clearing of the Way, is a love story whose fruits are prophetic, terrifying and hopeful at the same time. Nature herself is the protagonist in the story, a character who demands, like the God of the Old Testament, to be heard. Failure to listen brings with it the promise of fiery wrath.
