adobe news gothic plain font size not to exceed 10

TOM WEST

Marine archaeologists Kate Wetherall and Lou Bates are

diving off Howland Island in the middle of the Pacific

Ocean, when a torpedo-shaped object hurtles through

the water towards them; the fuselage of Amelia Earhart's

lost plane. In the cockpit, they find a corroded metal

cylinder the size of a baton.

Landing back on US soil, Kate and Lou are arrested and

interrogated by special forces, and the cylinder

confiscated. Behind the arrests is Glena Buckingham,

CEO of the powerful energy conglomerate Eurenergy,

as she too has discovered that the wrecked plane may

have held precious secret cargo.

Meanwhile, an extraordinary piece of footage has come

to light - of Einstein talking about a radical new defence

technology he had been working on.

Whoever can decrypt the lost cipher, which holds the

key to Einstein's secret defence technology, could hold

the key to global power.

Tom West is the pseudonym for the internationally

bestselling author of nine novels. Private Down Under,

which he co-wrote with James Patterson under the name

Michael White, is the latest in the Private series. Tom

West lives in Perth, Australia.

THE GREAT LEADER AND THE FIGHTER PILOT:

THE TRUE STORY OF THE TYRANT WHO CREATED

NORTH KOREA AND THE YOUNG LIEUTENANT WHO

STOLE HIS WAY TO FREEDOM

Blaine Harden

The bestselling author of Escape from Camp 14 tells one man's a

stonishing story, set against the world's longest-lasting totalitarian

state: North Korea

THE GREAT LEADER AND THE FIGHTER PILOT


BLAINE HARDEN

An ambitious and gripping exploration of the world's

most secretive state through the intertwined lives of two

North Koreans, one infamous, one obscure: Kim Il

Sung, the former North Korean leader and No Kum Sok,

once the state's youngest jet fighter pilot. Shortly before

the Korean War ended, their paths crossed. Kim Il Sung

congratulated No Kum Sok on his flying skill and

courage, but just a few months later, No Kum Sok stole

a Soviet-made MiG-15 and escaped to a US airfield in

South Korea.

This non-fiction thriller digs deeply into the character of

the Kim family dictatorship. Both an irresistible

adventure story and an authoritative guide to the

notorious state, The Great Leader and the Fighter

Pilot explains why North Korea remains so isolated,

why it created and maintains its concentration camps,

and why it is still so angry at the western world.

'Harden's book, besides being a gripping story,

unsparingly told, carries a freight of intelligence about

this black hole of a country' -New York

Times on Escape from Camp 14

Post’s bureau chief in Tokyo. He is the prize-winning,

SO YOU’VE BEEN PUBLICLY SHAMED

Jon Ronson

From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Psychopath

Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most

underappreciated forces: shame.

SO YOU’VE BEEN PUBLICLY SHAMED


JON RONSON

'It's about the terror, isn't it?'

'The terror of what?' I said.

'The terror of being found out.'

For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the

world meeting recipients of high-profile public

shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who,

say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or

made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is

revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a

hurricane and the next thing they know they're being

torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized,

sometimes even fired from their job.

A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our

land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority

are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our

voice? We are mercilessly finding people's faults. We

are defining the boundaries of normality by ruining the

lives of those outside it. We are using shame as a form

of social control.

Simultaneously powerful and hilarious in the way only

Jon Ronson can be, So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a

deeply honest book about modern life, full of eye-

opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws

- and the very scary part we all play in it.

Jon Ronson is an award-winning nonfiction writer and

documentary maker. He is the author of four bestsellers,

Them: Adventures with Extremists, The Men Who Stare

at Goats, The Psychopath Test and Lost at Sea: The Jon

Ronson Mysteries, and two collections, Out of the

Ordinary: True Tales of Everyday Craziness and What I

Do: More True Tales of Everyday Craziness. His latest

book is the short story Frank: The True Story that

Inspired the Movie. His first fictional screenplay, Frank,

co-written with Peter Straughan, has been directed by

Lenny Abrahamson and stars Michael Fassbender. He

lives in London and New York City.

THE HAUNTING OF SUNSHINE GIRL

Paige McKenzie

In that place where you're more asleep than awake any more, I hear

something else. A phrase uttered in a child's voice, no more than a

whisper: Night Night.

THE HAUNTING OF SUNSHINE GIRL


PAIGE MCKENZIE

Shortly after her sixteenth birthday, Sunshine Griffith

and her mother Kat move from sunny Austin, Texas, to

the rain-drenched town of Ridgemont, Washington.

Though Sunshine is adopted, she and her mother have

always been close, sharing a special bond filled with

laughter and inside jokes. But from the moment they

arrive, Sunshine feels her world darken with an eeriness

she cannot place. And even if Kat doesn’t recognize it,

Sunshine knows that something about their new house is

just ... creepy.

In the days that follow, things only get stranger.

Sunshine is followed around the house by an icy breeze,

phantom wind slams her bedroom door shut, and

eventually, the laughter Sunshine hears on her first night

evolves into sobs. She can hardly believe it, but as the

spirits haunting her house become more frighten¬ing—

and it becomes clear that Kat is in danger—Sunshine

must accept what she is, pass the test before her, and

save her mother from a fate worse than death.

At 16 years old, Paige became the star, co-producer and

co-creator of a show that receives millions of views each

month. Paige is the daughter of a working actress, and

grew up around sets. She has worked tirelessly to make

Sunshine a success and grow her fan base, contributing

content and cultivating a relationship with Sunshine's

fans. In 2013 Paige was featured in three issues

of Seventeen magazine as a "Pretty Amazing" finalist for

her work and ownership of The Haunting of Sunshine

Girl. Now nineteen, Paige continues to work every day

toward the growth and success of her brand. She will be

the public face of the books.

THE BAREFOOT LAWYER: THE REMARKABLE

MEMOIR OF CHINA’S BRAVEST POLITICAL ACTIVIST

Chen Guangcheng

An electrifying memoir by the blind Chinese activist who inspired

millions with his fight for justice, and his belief in the cause of

freedom.

THE BAREFOOT LAWYER


It was like a scene out of a thriller: one morning in April

2012, China's most famous political activist-a blind,

self-taught lawyer-climbed over the wall of his heavily

guarded home and escaped. For days, his whereabouts

remained unknown; after he turned up at the American

embassy in Beijing, a furious round of high-level

negotiations finally led to his release and a new life in

the United States.

Chen Guangcheng is a unique figure on the world stage,

but his story is even more remarkable than we knew.

The son of a poor farmer in rural China, blinded by

illness when he was an infant, Chen was fortunate to

survive a difficult childhood. But despite his disability,

he was determined to educate himself and fight for the

rights of his country's poor, especially a legion of

women who had endured forced sterilizations under the

hated 'one child' policy. Repeatedly harassed, beaten,

and imprisoned by Chinese authorities, Chen was

ultimately placed under house arrest. After a year of

fruitless protest and increasing danger, he evaded his

captors and fled to freedom.

Both a riveting memoir and a revealing portrait of

modern China, this passionate book tells the story of a

man who has never accepted limits and always believed

in the power of the human spirit to overcome any

obstacle.
