Jeff Abbott is the New York Times-bestselling, award-winning author of many mystery and suspense novels, including the Sam Capra series.

His novel PANIC is being developed as a TV series at the Weinstein Company, and Jeff is attached as a screenwriter and producer. 2 Jeff Abbott THE FIRST ORDER Grand Central Publishing January 2016 North America The new Sam Capra thriller Jeff Abbott fans have been waiting for. The darkest day of Sam Capra's life was when he watched his brother, Danny, executed by extremists in an online video. But now, evidence has surfaced that Danny may still be alive—leading a secret, hidden life for the past six years while the world believed him to be dead. What's more, Sam discovers that Danny may be plotting a murder that could change history: assassinating the Russian president. Determined to stop his brother from committing a murder that may cause a war, Sam goes undercover in a one- man mission to save the world—and to save his brother. “This is a thoroughly riveting addition to one of the most compelling espionage series in modern fiction.” – BookPage "Fast paced and just plausible enough to satisfy readers who demand realism in their adrenaline-fueled thrillers, the book should definitely appeal to action fans. Each novel in the series can be read as a stand-alone, which means newcomers can plunge right in. Go for it." – Booklist “An epic struggle between two brothers throws Russian-American relations in jeopardy during this strong installment of Abbott's series. Abbott loads his story with entertaining plot twists . The bond and betrayal between the two brothers add emotional depth to the action.” – Kirkus “One of the best thriller writers of our time.” – Harlan Coben “Abbott writes suspense classics.” – Lee Child “The Sam Capra novels are crafted like a Swiss watch, intricate and always effective.” – Michael Koryta Foreign Sales: UK/Little, Brown; Hungarian/Jaffa Kiado; Portuguese (Portugal)/Porto Editora.

Vince Steadfast is the new CEO of an iconic glassworks manufacturer, Verity Glassworks. The firm’s artistic glory days are in the past and recent management and financial turmoil have thrown the company’s future in jeopardy. The task for Steadfast is to keep his bearings, confront his fears and weaknesses, and complete a quest for the very soul of the company. Along the way, Steadfast encounters a motley but talented group of employees--from a mysterious elevator operator to the company historian to an elfin designer--who join him on the quest. They must learn to believe in one another, and to believe in the company they have nearly given up on, if they have any chance at all in succeeding. As they search together for the Treasure Beyond All Price, Steadfast discovers that only by filling his glass cup (a priceless gift from his mentor) with leadership actions based on universal values can he and his new team begin to steer the company into the future. THE MAGIC CUP is a modern business parable to inspire readers and entire organizations to remember, believe in, and act on the bigger purpose, values, and success they aspire to—and to reap the personal and business rewards that ensue. Foreign Sales: Chinese (simplified)/Beijing Standway Books; Japanese/Toyokan; Turkish/Alfa Yayinlari. For twenty-one years Howard Behar led Starbucks’s domestic business as President of Starbucks North America, and he became the founding President of Starbucks International. During his tenure, he participated in the growth of the company from only 28 stores to over 15,000 stores spanning five continents.

A lot of her best customers are in the cannabis business, but so what? It's true that the bistro was funded by drug money, and sure, firefighting isn’t really Jeff’s main job—that would be flying Humboldt's finest weed to out-of-state customers. And sure, he isn’t really Emily’s boyfriend, more like the guy she’s stuck with by circumstance. Actually, his name isn’t Jeff, it’s Danny; and Emily’s real name is Michelle Mason, although no one can ever know that. She’s on the run from her past—which has just caught up with her in its ugliest form: Gary, an ex-CIA and black ops agent who got her and Danny into this whole mess, and who Michelle should have killed when she had the chance. When Gary shows up at Michelle’s restaurant the same night Danny is arrested by the DEA during what should have been a routine flight, Michelle knows they’ve been set up. Danny’s life is on the line: he’s dangling bait in a maximum-security Houston jail, prey to Gary and whatever shadowy powers Gary works for. Gary will help Michelle if she’ll just do him one little favor: take a job in Houston working for the figurehead of a multimillion- dollar anti-crime nonprofit. But Michelle knows whatever she’s getting into isn’t what it seems. All she can do is hope she figures out what Gary's real endgame is before she--or someone close to her—pays the ultimate price. “Brisk. The edgy plot never lets up, touching on the war on drugs, for-profit prisons, and nefarious nonprofits.” – Publishers Weekly Companion Title: GETAWAY (Soho Crime, 2012). Lisa Brackmann’s debut novel ROCK PAPER TIGER, set on the fringes of the Chinese art world, made several “Best of 2010” lists, including Amazon’s Top 100 Novels and Top 10 Mystery/Thrillers, and was nominated for the Strand Magazine Critics Award for Best First Novel. Her second novel, GETAWAY, won the Los Angeles Book Festival Grand Prize and was nominated for the T.

  • Cuba: a Reading List
    Cuba: A Reading List “Before Night Falls” by Reinaldo Arenas Mr. Arenas was persecuted in Cuba for his writings and for being gay, and eventually fled to the United States. He committed suicide in New York in 1990, at 47. “Before Night Falls,” his autobiography, was later made into a film starring Javier Bardem. In The New York Times Book Review, Roberto González Echevarría wrote: “Anyone who feels the temptation to be lenient in judging Castro’s government should first read this passionate and beautifully written book.” “Dreaming in Cuban” by Cristina García Ms. García’s first novel tells the story of three generations of women in one family, and how staying in Cuba or fleeing the country affects their lives. Reviewing the book in The Times, Michiko Kakutani said that Ms. García had “produced a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekhov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel García Márquez.” “Paradiso” by José Lezama Lima This novel by Mr. Lima, a major Cuban poet, is about a boy’s coming of age and his search for his dead father. In the Book Review, Edmund White wrote that Mr. Lima “not only has the power to create absorbing and memorable images, he has also placed these images into a vast network of philosophical and mythical significance.” “Three Trapped Tigers” by Guillermo Cabrera Infante In the Book Review, Charles Wilson wrote that Mr. Infante’s most celebrated novel “borrows from the playfulness and form of James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ and ‘Finnegans Wake’ as it describes the decadent life of young people who explore Havana’s cabaret society during the Batista era.” “Explosion in a Cathedral” by Alejo Carpentier Set in Cuba and elsewhere, Mr.

  • An Interview with Rachel Kushner
    ★ BELIEVERMAG.COM ★ SUBSCRIBE ★ STORE ★ CURRENT ISSUE ★ Enjoy the special features below and please consider subscribing to the Believer. M AY 2 4 , 2 0 1 3 "IT’S SPELLED MOTHERFUCKERS."—AN INTERVIEW WITH RACHEL KUSHNER (Gabriele Basilico, Contact, 1984) I was surprised when my friend Rachel Kushner told me that, having just finished her final edit for her first novel, Telex for Cuba, she was excited to start work on a second novel which would be set in the New York art world of the early 1970’s. I remember being shocked that she had already figured it all out and knew where she was going next… usually, when I finish a lot of work, I just want to stay in bed and sleep for a year. And so when I heard from her sometime later that she would be travelling to Italy to do research for the novel, I just assumed she had changed her mind and decided instead to write about Italian revolutionaries. When I started reading The Flamethowers I was humbled and embarrassed to realize that I had underestimated her commitments. Set in both New York and Italy, parts of the book reminded me of social experiences in the art world so acutely I cringed with painful recognition as I read. Ten years after Rachel interviewed me for the then very new Believer, I had the pleasure of driving with her across town to Santa Monica City College where we wandered the campus looking for KCRW. Far from my Eagle Rock studio where the first conversation took place with a cassette recorder, pen and paper, we found ourselves lost looking for the underground recording studios.

  • The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner Reno Comes to New York Intent on Turning Her Fascination with Motorcycles and Speed Into Art
    The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner Reno comes to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity – artists colonize a deserted and industrial SoHo, stage actions in the East Village, and blur the line between life and art. Why you'll like it: 1970s New York, gritty, coming of age. About the Author: Rachel Kushner's New York Times bestselling novel The Flamethrowers was a finalist for the 2013 National Book Award, the 2014 Folio Prize, the James Tait Black Prize, and was chosen as one of the five best novels of the year by the New York Times. Her debut novel, Telex from Cuba, was reviewed on the cover of the NY Times Book Review and was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, winner of the California Book Award, and a New York Times bestseller and Notable Book. Kushner's fiction has appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, and the Paris Review. She is the recipient of a 2013 Guggenheim Fellowship, and 2016 winner of the Howard D. Vursell Award for her prose style, from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Amazon). Questions for discussion 1. Reno wants to create Land Art in the manner of iconic artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer. Why does she leave the West, where both of those famous figures chose to make their work, for New York City? Is the contemporary art world accessible to most people? Or is it somewhat elitist? 2.

  • Philosophers' Science Fiction / Speculative Fiction
    Philosophers’ Science Fiction / Speculative Fiction Recommendations, Organized by Author / Director November 3, 2014 Eric Schwitzgebel In September and October, 2014, I gathered recommendations of “philosophically interesting” science fiction – or “speculative fiction” (SF), more broadly construed – from thirty-four professional philosophers and from two prominent SF authors with graduate training in philosophy. Each contributor recommended ten works of speculative fiction and wrote a brief “pitch” gesturing toward the interest of the work. Below is the list of recommendations, arranged to highlight the authors and film directors or TV shows who were most often recommended by the list contributors. I have divided the list into (A.) novels, short stories, and other printed media, vs (B.) movies, TV shows, and other non- printed media. Within each category, works are listed by author or director/show, in order of how many different contributors recommended that author or director, and then by chronological order of works for authors and directors/shows with multiple listed works. For works recommended more than once, I have included each contributor’s pitch on a separate line. The most recommended authors were: Recommended by 11 contributors: Ursula K. Le Guin Recommended by 8: Philip K. Dick Recommended by 7: Ted Chiang Greg Egan Recommended by 5: Isaac Asimov Robert A.

Yes, there's a lot of background info on characters etc, but I found the writing mundane. The degree of privilege enjoyed depends largely upon the importance of the company involved, not to the society in which it operates but rather to the government of that society which acts effectively as a business partner. These allusions shine like understated gems in the fabric of the novel. It is a powerful, haunting look at the human side of revolution. Raves and Reviews.

  • The Mars Room: a Novel Rachel Kushner
    The Mars Room: A Novel Rachel Kushner Discussion Questions 1. At the beginning of the book, before she is incarcerated, Romy Hall, the central protagonist of The Mars Room, says, "I said everything was fine but nothing was. The life was being sucked out of me. The problem was not moral. It had nothing to do with morality. These men dimmed my glow. Made me numb to touch, and angry" (page 26). What role do morality and virtue play in the telling of Romy’s story? Does morality factor into who is judged guilty and who is judged in- nocent? 2. The San Francisco depicted in this book is perhaps not a classic one of, as Romy puts it, "rainbow flags or Beat poetry or steep crooked streets," but "fog and Irish bars and liquor stores all the way to the Great Highway" (page 33). Was the San Francisco depicted in the novel a surprise to you? What significance do you read into the scene with the "Scummerz" and the young boy mak- ing noodles on the stove? Why is everyone from her past and all her memories so remote and vanished? Is this the nature of childhood and the erasure of cities, or something else more com- plicated and individual to do with Romy? 3. The overwhelming majority of people, and certainly middle-class people, will never spend a sin- gle day of their lives in jails and prisons. Should those who don’t have that dark destiny worry for those who do? What impression do you have, after reading The Mars Room, about individual agency, and who goes to prison in this country and who doesn’t? 4.
