Book excerpt: In this provocative and incisive memoir, Peter Theroux reveals the Middle East only as a true insider can.

Book excerpt: More heart-stopping action and suspense from the bestselling author of Amazonia and Subterranean. . . . “Rollins writes with intelligence, clarity, and a refreshing sense of humor.”—Kirkus Reviews In his five previous thrillers, James Rollins, the king of speculative adventure writing, has taken readers on mind-expanding journeys spanning from the top of the world to deep within the earth’s surface. In this latest voyage of imagination combining hard science with explosive page-turning excitement—his most breathtaking yet—he explores the mysterious sands of the Arabian peninsula. Twenty years ago, a wealthy British financier disappeared near Ubar, the fabled lost city buried beneath the sands of Oman. Now, an expedition of scientists, led by the financier’s daughter, is finally setting off for the legendary metropolist to unlock the desert’s secrets. What they find, however, is more beautiful than they ever dreamed—and far deadlier. Within Ubar is a powerful energy source that could fuel the entire earth above—if it can be harnessed. But before they can resurface, the explorers become trapped. For the same life-giving force that can save the world is about to set off a giant, sweeping storm awesome enough to annihilate everything in its wake . . .

Book excerpt: Herman Strickland is a die-hard English professor and self-professed nerd who lives and breathes science fiction, history, and rock and roll. As he meticulously tracks his daily activities in journals and battles a chronic health issue, he tackles the grammar and language problems of Colorado youth and attempts to make a difference in their lives. Thanks to Alfred P. Handleman, his long-time friend who makes it his mission to keep him in line, Herman manages to remember most of his students’ names and somehow endures his troublesome physical ailments. One night when the threat of a tornado causes Herman to seek cover in his bathtub for the night, he passes the time by reflecting on a past filled with life lessons and a surprise encounter with his niece, Jade. But it is what happens after the tornado passes that will change everything in Herman’s life forever as he receives a shocking diagnosis. Teacups and Sandstorms is the tale of one man’s journey through life as he fights a silent battle with Crohn’s Disease with help from a rather entertaining group of friends.
