When he becomes one of the first victims of a bizarre epidemic of paranoia and aggression, Phoebe will stop at nothing to save him. She'll even work with the strange, antisocial woman who literally crashed into her life. The stranger, a software engineer named Mila, blames the plague on technology... but she's hiding something. Is Mila a possible path to a cure - or is she the cause of it all? Or will she just prove to be indifferent to the fates of thousands of people, including Phoebe's brother?

  • Addleton Heights

    $15.00$25.00

    George Wright Padgett

    Addleton Heights is a steampunk novel for everyone (even those who don't know what steampunk is!). It's witty, fun, exciting and inventive, and is packed with characters you really care about. George Wright Padgett hits all the right notes!

    Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of Ghostwalkers and Patient Zero

    New Year's Eve 1901: Six hundred feet above the Atlantic Ocean, the platform city of Addleton Heights balances on massive, soot-covered metal stilts. A grisly double murder interrupts the party in the floating mansion of the city's most powerful man, and for reasons unknown, he coerces detective-for-hire T.H. Kipsey into taking the enigmatic case. George Wright Padgett weaves a cat-and-mouse mystery through a steampunk, alternate-American history that will thrill readers of Cherie Priest's Boneshaker and Christopher Beats's steam-noir Magnocracy series. Join Kip as he races against time to unravel the clues that will thrust him across the city, up to the clouds, and into the depths beneath Addleton Heights.
    • Great for even new readers to the steampunk genre
    • Some adult themes

Now, Maarkean must decide where his loyalty lies, and will either spark a rebellion or help crush the spirit of democracy once and for all.

    Firefly with aliens, Star Wars without the force . . . and a dash of the American Revolution. "I like a little rebellion now and then...The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all." — Thomas Jefferson Unlike her brother, Saracasi Ocaitchi has always known that her loyalties belong to the ideals of freedom and democracy, not the government of the Alliance, and that protecting those ideals would require a fight. But now that the rebellion she has dreamed about has finally begun, she must come to terms with what that truly means: for herself, for her brother, and for all of the people who will die in the coming war.

    Readers' Favorite 5 star logoLeon Berger

    Tense, authentic, compelling - a tumultuous 24 hours in Beijing, as witnessed by those involved. Each year, howling winds from the Gobi send desert grit swirling into Beijing which then mixes with the existing pollution, causing fluorescent yellow skies and toxic, throat-burning smog. On one such day in March, youthful activists decide to gather in Tiananmen Square right outside the Great Hall of the People where the National Congress is in session. They are understandably fearful of what can happen to protesters in China but none could have predicted the unthinkable scenario and far-reaching climax which takes place during that single 24 hour period.
    • Based on true experience: During his many years in Beijing, the author experienced every aspect of that vast city, including the climatic conditions described.

The problem is the well-meaning man-flock that's decided to keep him safe... in a cage. But Lupé has hatched an escape plan all his own! Told in a 'Disneyesque' style, A Wing and a Prayer will have you smiling and laughing as you're introduced to wonderful characters but also important themes, especially the environment.

      "Sometimes it takes a book like Makoona to remind us just what amazing sights are lurking beneath the surface... It brings the ocean and its life to us... reminding us of its value and what needs to be done." ?Kathryn Fuller, President of World Wildlife Fund

      Welcome to the inspiring story of Binti, a female octopus who lives in the Makoona coral reef, and Kemar, a Cambodian boy who fishes the reef. As a mollusk without a shell, Binti believes she's missing something... but the reef is a dangerous place to search for anything, let alone the shell that will make her complete and let her communicate with the spirit-fish. But helped by her friends and a psychedelic octopus who speaks in Grateful Dead lyrics, the search is on. Fifteen-year-old Kemar, a boatperson fleeing the Khmer Rouge, fishes the waters around Makoona where he crosses the path of a strange octopus and befriends both a Vietnam vet and an old American mechanic who claims she was once a world-famous aviatrix. Makoona?will make you laugh out loud as it transports you into the world of the coral reef and takes you on an island adventure that never loses sight of environmental concerns, personal fulfillment, friendship, self-awareness, and the tenets of eco-literature that Morano created in his unforgettable first novel,?A Wing and a Prayer.

          For nearly one hundred million years, the coelacanths have lived in the ocean depths. They are living fossils, humble and powerful. They have hunted, borne young, and prayed to the spirit-fish. But for the canth called Maputa, all that is about to change. SeaTopia is an aquarium run by the man-tide. The Director, Dave, is an empathetic man who tries to help both humans?ocean whiz-kid, Kemar, and neglected teen, Samantha?and fish, but no measure of kindness can turn a prison into the sea. Out There, Somewhere?continues the outstanding focus on environmental concerns, personal fulfillment, friendship, self-awareness, and the tenets of eco-literature that Morano created in his unforgettable first two novels,?A Wing and a Prayer and?Makoona. Like those,?Out There, Somewhere is a children's book for adults and a young adult novel with universal themes, a story that you can enjoy by yourself or share with the entire family.

              Glyde, Gonzo, and Azul have one thing in common: they?re all flying as flocks of one. Other than his father, Lup?, Glyde has never seen a pure Guadalupe petrel, so when he hears of a similar petrel in danger, he implores his father to join him in a daring rescue attempt. Along the way, Glyde is joined by Gonzo, an endangered ivory-billed woodpecker, Zomis, the last remaining passenger pigeon, and a barred owl who speaks only in Shakespearean English. Meanwhile, after losing his mate and being smuggled out of the shrinking Caatinga, Azul finds himself in the care of a celebrated conservationist. However, not everything is as it seems, and the Spix?s macaw must fight to return to the place he knows best. But with a disappearing habitat and without a mate, can his journey lead him home? The John Morano?Eco-Adventure Series?is back with a fourth installment that asks the question: What does it mean to be home in a changing world? As the climate warms and habitats are lost, will the man-flock help the birds before it's too late, or will these?flocks of one become flocks of none?

                This bittersweet chronicle about how a working horse finally gains his freedom was inspired by a real animal and true events, yet its underlying theme is about the universal value of friendship. The hero is a sturdy draft horse: old, eccentric and irritable. His name, suitably enough, is Groucho. By day, he hauls a tourist carriage around the heritage streets of Montreal. By night, he goes home to a stable in a run-down, working-class district. When his owner dies, Groucho feels the loss and is helped through it by the ancient stableman, Doyle, who is also set in his ways. This is the story of how they cope with each other, as well as the threat which endangers their entire way of life.
