Back in stock soon – Travelling to Infinity: The True Story Behind
the Theory of Everything by Jane Hawking (ISBN 9781846883477
$16.95)
Made into a major motion picture, this moving memoir written by Stephen Hawking's
first wife covers the turbulent years of her marriage to the
astrophysics genius, her traumatic divorce, and their recent
reconciliation
Professor Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous and
remarkable scientists of our age and the author of the scientific
bestseller A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 25
million copies. In this compelling memoir, his first wife, Jane
Hawking, relates the inside story of their extraordinary
marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was
collapsing under the assaults of a motor neuron disease. Jane's
candid account of trying to balance his 24-hour care with the
needs of their growing family reveals the inner strength of the
author, while the self-evident character and achievements of
her husband make for an incredible tale presented with
unflinching honesty. Jane's candor is no less apparent when the marriage finally ends in
a high-profile meltdown, with Stephen leaving Jane for one of his nurses and Jane
marrying an old family friend. In this exceptionally open, moving, and often funny
memoir, Jane Hawking confronts not only the acutely complicated and painful dilemmas
of her first marriage, but also the relationship's fault lines exposed by the pervasive
effects of fame and wealth. The result is a book about optimism, love, and change that
will resonate with readers everywhere.

American Sniper by Chris Kyle
Mass Market: Movie tie-in cover ISBN 9780062376572 $9.99
Mass Market: Original cover ISBN 9780062238863 $9.99
The memoir of the deadliest sniper in American military history tells his astonishing
story, a tale of discipline and training, sacrifice and honor that offers an inside look at
modern warfare, including operations Iraq and Afghanistan
Former U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle tells the story of his legendary career, from 19992009, during which time he recorded the most confirmed sniper kills (officially a record
155, though the real number is even much higher) in the history of the United States
military, any branch, from 1776 to present. Nicknamed “The Legend” by his fellow
SEALS, Kyle’s service in Iraq and Afghanistan earned him seven medals for bravery,
including two Silver Stars. With the pacing of thriller, American Sniper vividly recounts
Chief Kyle’s experiences at key battles, including the March on Baghdad (beginning of
Iraq War), Fallujah, Ramadi, and Sadr City. He was shot in both the helmet and back;
he witnessed the death of his two closest friends. After his combat deployments, Kyle
became the SEAL’s chief sniper instructor, and he literally wrote the book on being a
sniper: the Naval Special Warfare Sniper Doctrine, which is the first Navy SEAL sniper
manual. Today he is the CEO of an international security and training corporation.
American Sniper is the story of the accomplishments of a husband and father who went
from a Texas rodeo cowboy to his country’s most legendary sniper. It describes the
challenges of keeping a marriage and family together, and how after four deployments,
Kyle ultimately chose to return to his wife and two children. This is also the story of the
men of SEAL Team 3 who fought and died as brothers with Kyle. American Sniper
provides a rare, first-hand glimpse at the elite world of the SEALs and combat snipers
who fought in a war where the Rules of Engagement only allowed for precise surgical
strikes at the heart of a well-trained and well organized opposition force, which had
virtually no Rules of Engagement.

Murder as a Fine Art by David Morrell (ISBN 9780316216784 $16.00)
Thomas De Quincey, infamous for his memoir
Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, is the major
suspect in a series of ferocious mass murders identical to
ones that terrorized London forty-three years earlier.
The blueprint for the killings seems to be De Quincey's
essay "On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts."
Desperate to clear his name but crippled by opium
addiction, De Quincey is aided by his devoted daughter
Emily and a pair of determined Scotland Yard detectives.
In Murder as a Fine Art, David Morrell plucks De Quincey,
Victorian London, and the Ratcliffe Highway murders from
history. Fogbound streets become a battleground between
a literary star and a brilliant murderer, whose lives are linked by secrets long buried but
never forgotten.

On Such a Full Sea by Chang-rae Lee (ISBN 9781594632891 $16.00)
In a future, long-declining America, society is strictly stratified by class. In this world
lives Fan, a female fish-tank diver, who leaves her home in the B-Mor settlement when
the man she loves mysteriously disappears. Fan’s journey to find him takes her out of
the safety of B-Mor, through the anarchic Open Counties, where crime is rampant with
scant governmental oversight, and to a faraway charter village, in a quest that will soon
become legend to those she left behind.
The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son by Pat
Conroy (ISBN 9780385343527 $16.00)
Pat Conroy's great success as a writer has always been intimately linked with the
exploration of his family history. While the publication of THE GREAT SANTINI brought
Pat much acclaim, the rift it caused with his father brought even more attention. Their
long-simmering conflict burst into the open, fracturing an already battered family. But as
Pat tenderly chronicles here, even the oldest of wounds can heal.
I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes (ISBN 9781439177730 $16.00)
PILGRIM is the code name for a world class and legendary secret agent. At the novel’s
opening, a woman lies face down in a pool of acid. The room has been sprayed down
with DNA-eradicating antiseptic spray. All the techniques are pulled directly from
Pilgrim's book, a cult classic of forensic science written under a pen name. In offering
the NYPD some casual assistance with the case, Pilgrim gets pulled back into the
intelligence underground.
