From the onigiri gifted alongside cherished promises to the ginger pork that became a memory of unrequited love, the not-too-sour chilled noodles from grandma's house, and the macaroni gratin shared by a father and young son for the last time, there is no dish or memory too complex for father and daughter.

Gardenpath is a graduate student. They also happen to be an amoeba --- a slime mold, to be exact --- from an ancient civilization that dwells in the space between the stars. And when they turn their many eyes to researching a remote spot on one spiral arm of the galaxy, they stumble upon a discovery that will change everything they thought they knew: a mysterious planet teeming with unexpected life, language and culture. One of these alien animals is a creature named Murtis, who lives in a city she calls Pompeii and works in a brothel known as “the lupanar.” Before they met, Gardenpath expected to finish their research, present their discovery, and return home to become an acclaimed scientist. But now they're beginning to wonder if there’s more to life than academic achievement.

When the President of the United States is assassinated in a coordinated drone strike, the country plunges into chaos. Behind the assassination stands Tracy Ciacchella, a brilliant and ruthless leader of a shadowy global cabal known only as New3. Their plan is to eliminate the president, cripple the nation's power grid, and plunge the US into darkness long enough for rival superpowers to seize the advantage. When cascading blackouts sweep across the nation and martial law looms, civil engineer Jake Bendel teams up with FBI agent Kristi Konnors to track the network orchestrating the attacks. What they uncover is far more dangerous than a cyberattack --- an international conspiracy positioned to hand America's collapse to China and Russia. Then the conspiracy becomes personal.

Cormac McCarthy is hailed as one of America’s greatest novelists. In his body of work, the nation’s story is told in incomparably vivid shades of violence, greed and love.

This book movingly details what this choice cost him in his family relationships, his marriages and his friendships. Mentally and physically restless, often solitary, and yet gregarious and charming, McCarthy lived as wildly, complexly and close to the bone as any of his characters. In his novels, he reported wisdom hard-learned through harsh experience and intense observation.
