Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of The Last Thing to Burn, a psychological thriller about the dark secrets that emerge when a woman’s twin sister is murdered, with his signature “intense, gripping, taut, terrifying, moving, and brilliant” (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author) prose. Sisters. Soulmates. Strangers. Molly Raven lives a quiet, structured life in London, finding comfort in security and routine. Her identical twin Katie, living in New York, is the exact opposite: outgoing, spontaneous, and adventurous. But when Molly hears that Katie has died, possibly murdered, she is thrown into unfamiliar territory. As terrifying as it is, she knows she must travel across the ocean and find out what happened. But as she tracks her twin’s final movements, cracks begin to emerge, and she slowly realizes her sister was not who she thought she was and there’s a dangerous web of deceit surrounding the two of them.

Book excerpt: The Firstborn–the mysterious race of aliens who first became known to science fiction fans as the builders of the iconic black monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey–have inhabited legendary master of science fiction Sir Arthur C. Clarke’s writing for decades. With Time’s Eye and Sunstorm, the first two books in their acclaimed Time Odyssey series, Clarke and his brilliant co-author Stephen Baxter imagined a near-future in which the Firstborn seek to stop the advance of human civilization by employing a technology indistinguishable from magic. Their first act was the Discontinuity, in which Earth was carved into sections from different eras of history, restitched into a patchwork world, and renamed Mir. Mir’s inhabitants included such notables as Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and United Nations peacekeeper Bisesa Dutt. For reasons unknown to her, Bisesa entered into communication with an alien artifact of inscrutable purpose and godlike power–a power that eventually returned her to Earth. There, she played an instrumental role in humanity’s race against time to stop a doomsday event: a massive solar storm triggered by the alien Firstborn designed to eradicate all life from the planet. That fate was averted at an inconceivable price. Now, twenty-seven years later, the Firstborn are back. This time, they are pulling no punches: They have sent a “quantum bomb.” Speeding toward Earth, it is a device that human scientists can barely comprehend, that cannot be stopped or destroyed–and one that will obliterate Earth. Bisesa’s desperate quest for answers sends her first to Mars and then to Mir, which is itself threatened with extinction. The end seems inevitable. But as shocking new insights emerge into the nature of the Firstborn and their chilling plans for mankind, an unexpected ally appears from light-years away.

Book excerpt: For all of Girard’s life fleeting images about the mystery if his birth had tortured his mind. Always there had been shadows of another existence, another life. Another being seeing to force him toward what it wanted. Whatever it was, it possessed him. Forced him to turn away from his everyday life and begin a sacred quest that takes him across half the world, from the Vatican to the bazaars of Istanbul and the deserts of the Middle East. There he seeks the sacred God plant that might give him the answer and which will reveal the ultimate horror, a nightmarish revelation of divine terror in which he becomes the messenger and protector of the child whose rebirth the world awaits and the ultimate evil that seeks to prevent it.

Book excerpt: This provocative book combines literary and historical methods to examine the phenomenon of the 'forsaken firstborn' in Genesis. The dignity of the firstborn sons of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph-Ishmael, Esau, Reuben and Manasseh-is disregarded in the narrative and the rights inherent in their status are taken from them and conferred on a younger brother. One might easily compare this with the motif in many folktales of the youngest son outdoing his elder brothers in cleverness and skill. But unlike the folklore motif, in the book of Genesis the younger brother's success is not due to any courageous deed or heroic feat on his own part. Instead the displacement of the elder by the younger is usually the result of somebody else's initiative and achievement.

Book excerpt: Did the Exodus really happen as described in the Bible? Secular and even many Biblical scholars say "no." But one man, Ron Wyatt, an amateur archaeologist and avid student of the Scriptures, said "yes!" He believed the Bible to be an accurate record of historical events and forms the basis through which physical evidence should be interpreted. Through the lens of Scripture, he discovered several Biblical sites which are today recognized as authentic by many experts and scholars. This book documents Ron's relentless quest for the truth concerning the Exodus and the discoveries he made which answered several questions such as: - Who was the Biblical Joseph in ancient Egyptian history? - Who was "pharaoh's daughter" who rescued Moses? - Who was the amazing person in ancient Egypt who fits the profile of Moses perfectly? - Where is the location of the Red Sea crossing? - Who was the Exodus pharaoh who drowned in the Red Sea? - Was the firstborn son of the Exodus pharaoh whose life was taken by the "angel of death" really Tutankhamun, or "King Tut?" - What happened in Egypt after the demise of its pharaoh and army in the Red Sea? - Why did Ron and his sons spend 75 days in prison in Saudi Arabia, accused of being Israeli spies, after finding the real Mount Sinai? - What amazing evidence was found at Jericho? These and many other questions are answered in this fact filled book about Egyptian archaeology and the Biblical Exodus story. Many books have been written about these amazing events but none of them have been able to piece the two together until now! Battle for the Firstborn documents only some of the many discoveries God allowed Ron Wyatt to find, none of which Ron took personal credit for. Ron believed God preserved these findings for this time as we approach the end of all things as prophesied in the Scriptures.
