Magonia captured the hearts of both contemporary and fantasy readers, thanks to its distinct John Green-meets-Neil Gaiman tone. Aerie expands on much of the political intrigue and history introduced in Magonia, and gives the reader a glimpse into everyday Magonian life. In Magonia, earth-bound Aza discovered that she’d been living in the wrong world her whole life. In her rightful kingdom in the sky her sick and addled body actually holds tremendous power. In Aerie, Aza is back on earth, but Magonia still calls her to fight for both the survival of humanity, and her love with her best friend, Jason.

‘Joy-Ann Reid exposes race as the San Andreas Fault of American politics. She exposes the white-black friction that’s propelled so much of our country’s debate, from Lincoln-Douglas to Obama-Clinton. Reid’s candid and tough chronicle nails it.’— Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews

Now a Warner Bros. movie starring Ben Affleck (also director), Elle Fanning, Zoe Saldana, and Sienna Miller
Boston, 1926. Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent police captain, has graduated from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay of the city’s most fearsome mobsters. But life on the dark side carries a heavy price. Beyond money and power, even the threat of prison, one fate seems most likely for men like Joe: an early death. But until that day, he and his friends are determined to live life to the hilt. Joe’s dizzying journey up the ladder of organized crime takes him from the flash of Jazz Age Boston to the sensual shimmer of Tampa’s Latin Quarter to the sizzling streets of Cuba. Live by Night is a riveting epic layered with loyal friends and callous enemies, tough rum-runners and sultry femmes fatales, Bible-quoting evangelists and cruel Klansmen, all battling for survival and their piece of the American dream.

A British archaeologist—a member of an expedition gone missing for over two years—stumbles out of the Egyptian desert. Before he can explain what happened to his team, he dies.

The frantic hunt for the truth will take Sigma Force from an ancient tomb buried under the burning sands of Egypt to a modern engineering complex built atop the frozen fields of the Arctic. As a looming crisis grows, Gray Pierce and his allies must confront a threat born of the ancient past and made real by the latest science, a danger that will unleash a cascading series of plagues around the globe, culminating in a scourge that could kill all of the world’s children . . . and forever end mankind’s future.
