The Tasmanian's unofficial motto is et anima una: of one mind. Somehow, the elite special forces group performs like they have one mind. Jolie understands on a subconscious level, but not on an intellectual level. This is an important level for Jolie, as she has a platoon and no stated objectives while on assignments and, therefore, easy to lose her connection with the main force. A problem that could make her unfit for the Tasmanians.

1940, England. After a series of run-ins with his superiors, Flying Officer Angus Mackennelly is posted to Squadron 696—the Maverick unit full of misfits and outsiders.

Mention the name Niccolò Machiavelli and you might unleash a powerful response-even among people who have never read a word of his writing. The word "Machiavellian" conjures up images of an indistinct figure quietly making his way through the darkest corridors of power; a cold-blooded political liar; or a coolly practical leader - amoral at best - willing to do whatever is necessary in a world governed not by ideas of right or wrong, but by solutions dictated by realpolitik.

In the final book of the number-four New York Times best-selling Neverwinter saga, Drizzt Do’Urden navigates a winding path littered with secrets and lies.

From suicides at Stonehenge to a bizarre religious cult, Russell will find herself on the trail of a killer more dangerous than any she's ever faced - a killer Sherlock Holmes himself may be protecting....

When Queen Marie calls, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are as dubious as they are reluctant. But a young girl is involved, and a beautiful queen. Surely it won't take long to shine light on this unlikely case of what would seem to be strigoi? Or, as they are known in the West...vampires.

Magic does not originate from spells or cauldrons. It is not pulled out of a hat or hidden up one's sleeve. It is fueled by imagination, a resource both infinite and precious. So long as we let ourselves imagine, we will find magic. My Lady Witch and other Wondrous Tales poses fantastical questions: When a witch encounters an overprotective knight, can she adjust to a life of being treated like a princess? What does a duck do if it cannot fly? How does a lumberjack end up living in a tree?

Some patients die on schedule. Some don’t. When terminally ill patients begin surviving longer than medicine predicts, the extensions are not miracles. They are brief, painful, and unsettlingly precise. Just enough time to remain lucid. Just enough time to say goodbye. Jack Carrington, a forensic pathologist, notices patterns no one else wants to see. Bodies show signs of deliberate intervention, not to cure, but to correct. The work is elegant. Controlled. Intentional. At a hospice across town, a nurse learns that certain questions change everything. Questions about consent. About suffering.
