A young man leaves school to set up a small computer repair shop and ends up as a partner in a successful Glasgow software company. But his company steals data from its customers, and it was all funded by a Glasgow gangster in the first place. Now Martin McGregor wants out. The only thing standing in his way are his employers. Oh, and the Romanians he managed to annoy. And the police in the three countries. What he doesn't know is that an FBI agent has picked up the trail of cybercrime and is very interested in this Scottish company which seems to be at the heart of it. Martin's personal life isn't any better than his professional one, and his current relationship is under some strain. Meanwhile, some ex-colleagues, and the enigmatic young Charlene, have their own issues. Martin ends up in Orkney, waiting to be found, and unable to think of a happy ending to all of this.

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE, THE IRISH TIMES AND THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT A provocative history of men who were worshipped as gods that illuminates the connection between power and religion and the role of divinity in a secular age Ever since 1492, when Christopher Columbus made landfall in the New World and was hailed as a heavenly being, the accidental god has haunted the modern age. From Haile Selassie, acclaimed as the Living God in Jamaica, to Britain’s Prince Philip, who became the unlikely center of a new religion on a South Pacific island, men made divine—always men—have appeared on every continent. And because these deifications always emerge at moments of turbulence—civil wars, imperial conquest, revolutions—they have much to teach us. In a revelatory history spanning five centuries, a cast of surprising deities helps to shed light on the thorny questions of how our modern concept of “religion” was invented; why religion and politics are perpetually entangled in our supposedly secular age; and how the power to call someone divine has been used and abused by both oppressors and the oppressed. From nationalist uprisings in India to Nigerien spirit possession cults, Anna Della Subin explores how deification has been a means of defiance for colonized peoples. Conversely, we see how Columbus, Cortés, and other white explorers amplified stories of their godhood to justify their dominion over native peoples, setting into motion the currents of racism and exclusion that have plagued the New World ever since they touched its shores. At once deeply learned and delightfully antic, Accidental Gods offers an unusual keyhole through which to observe the creation of our modern world. It is that rare thing: a lyrical, entertaining work of ideas, one that marks the debut of a remarkable literary career.

These widely acclaimed essays from the author of Infinite Jest -- on television, tennis, cruise ships, and more -- established David Foster Wallace as one of the preeminent essayists of his generation. In this exuberantly praised book -- a collection of seven pieces on subjects ranging from television to tennis, from the Illinois State Fair to the films of David Lynch, from postmodern literary theory to the supposed fun of traveling aboard a Caribbean luxury cruiseliner -- David Foster Wallace brings to nonfiction the same curiosity, hilarity, and exhilarating verbal facility that has delighted readers of his fiction, including the bestselling Infinite Jest.

In a day when our churches look like country clubs with slick marketing campaigns, Jeremy McKim urges us away from a democratized kingdom of self and toward the kingdom of God. We have settled for safe and comfortable churchgoing while God beckons us toward risky and uncomfortable kingdom living. With Doxa, McKim shows that God's invitation is greater and more terrifying than any in all of history ∑ Why is ignoring God the riskiest thing you could possibly do today? ∑ Is God intent on crushing your ego? ∑ What is so unpatriotic and humiliating about worshiping God? ∑ Why might a worthwhile churchgoing experience have little or nothing to do with our satisfaction? ∑ Why is prayer a life-threatening activity? Allow yourself to be troubled and moved to action by these and other questions as you enter into a provocative and practical ten-week journey of transformation, discovery, and kingdom advancement. Discover that God has graciously chosen to display his glory in those who would simply "hear and do." Become the adopted son or daughter of the King whose unshakable kingdom is moving forward with or without you, and answer his call to enter and participate in that kingdom.

The classic thriller about a hostile foreign power infiltrating American politics: “Brilliant . . . wild and exhilarating.” —The New Yorker A war hero and the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, Sgt. Raymond Shaw is keeping a deadly secret—even from himself. During his time as a prisoner of war in North Korea, he was brainwashed by his Communist captors and transformed into a deadly weapon—a sleeper assassin, programmed to kill without question or mercy at his captors’ signal. Now he’s been returned to the United States with a covert mission: to kill a candidate running for US president . . . This “shocking, tense” and sharply satirical novel has become a modern classic, and was the basis for two film adaptations (San Francisco Chronicle). “Crammed with suspense.” —Chicago Tribune “Condon is wickedly skillful.” —Time
