    Psychiatric nurse Phoebe Bernhardt loves her youngest brother with all her heart. 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? Searching for the answers will force Phoebe to face her fundamentalist religious family and her own assumptions about who she is - and drive her to the brink of death. Absence of Mind is a technothriller and the second book by near-future science-fiction author H.C.H. Ritz. If you've enjoyed books like Daemon and Freedom by Daniel Suarez or Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson, you'll love this exciting, fast-paced, and compelling story. Start the adventure today!

  • Death by Harmony

    $10.00$19.00

    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.

    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.
