Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Next to impossible to put down . . . exciting, mysterious, and totally satisfying.”—STEPHEN KING From the author of The Passage comes a riveting standalone novel about a group of survivors on a hidden island utopia—where the truth isn’t what it seems. A POLYGON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR The islands of Prospera lie in a vast ocean, in splendid isolation from the rest of humanity—or whatever remains of it. Citizens of the main island enjoy privileged lives. They are attended to by support staff who live on a cramped neighboring island, where whispers of revolt are brewing—but for the Prosperans, life is perfection. And when the end of life approaches, they’re sent to a mysterious third island, where their bodies are refreshed, their memories are wiped away, and they return to start life anew. Proctor Bennett is a ferryman, whose job it is to enforce the retirement process when necessary. He never questions his work, until the day he receives a cryptic message: “The world is not the world.” These simple words unlock something he has secretly suspected. They seep into strange dreams of the stars and the sea. They give him the unshakable feeling that someone is trying to tell him something important. Something no one could possibly imagine, something that could change the fate of humanity itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peake's explanation of your immortality is the most innovative and provocative argument I have seen - Bruce Greyson, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia. Is there life after death? This age-old question has plagued humankind from the moment we became self-aware, but do we now have enough evidence to answer it? In this mind-expanding book, Anthony Peake reveals an extraordinary model of life after death - one that brings together ideas from ancient philosophy, neuroscience, quantum physics and consciousness studies, and manages to explain a number of seemingly mysterious experiences such as precognition, déjà vu, synchronicity, near-death experiences and out-of-body experiences. It is called Cheating the Ferryman. This book is a much-awaited follow-up to Peake's internationally bestselling Is There Life After Death? which introduced his revolutionary model. Since then he has amassed more evidence, using new studies by world-leading researchers, theories from the likes of Stephen Hawking, Carl Jung and Hugh Everette, together with testimonies of NDEs and precognitive experiences which give everyday clues to our immortality. Cheating the Ferryman presents an astounding model of survival after death that is supported by, rather than in conflict with, our present understanding of how the universe works.

Book excerpt: The murder of a family forces former policewoman Naomi Blake to face her past Victor Griffin seemed to be one of the good guys, but that didn't stop someone coming to his home and killing him and his wife. The last act of Vic's life was to try and save his children: fifteen-month-old Jack, and his beloved stepdaughter, Sarah. But why were Vic and his wife shot dead? Why is there no record of them before they came to live in Ferrymouth three years ago? The one clue to their past is a business card, wedged between the pages of an almost empty address book. A card with Naomi's name on it. Naomi and Alec find themselves drawn back to face events that happened when Naomi was still a serving police officer - just before the accident that blinded her - and which have now led to murder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stunning, fantastical debut novel from a bold new voice in the bestselling traditions of Christopher Moore and Jasper Fforde, a ferryman for the dead finds his existence unraveling after making either the best decision or the biggest mistake of his immortal life. Ferryman Charlie Dawson saves dead people—somebody has to convince them to move on to the afterlife, after all. Having never failed a single assignment, he's acquired a reputation for success that’s as legendary as it is unwanted. It turns out that serving as a Ferryman is causing Charlie to slowly lose his mind. Deemed too valuable by the Ferryman Institute to be let go and too stubborn to just give up in his own right, Charlie’s pretty much abandoned all hope of escaping his grim existence. Or he had, anyway, until he saved Alice Spiegel. To be fair, Charlie never planned on stopping Alice from taking her own life—that sort of thing is strictly forbidden by the Institute—but he never planned on the President secretly giving him the choice to, either. Charlie’s not quite sure what to make of it, but Alice is alive, and it’s the first time he’s felt right in more than two hundred years. When word of the incident reaches Inspector Javrouche, the Ferryman Institute's resident internal affairs liaison, Charlie finds he's in a world of trouble. But Charlie’s not about to lose the only living, breathing person he’s ever saved without a fight. He’s ready to protect her from Javrouche and save Alice from herself, and he’s willing to put the entire continued existence of mankind at risk to do it. Written in the same vein as bestselling modern classics such as The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde and A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, The Ferryman Institute is a thrilling supernatural adventure packed with wit and humor.

Book excerpt: Bobbie Druke (Drew-key), a suburban Minneapolis police detective, and her husband Andy Richards, retired FBI agent, are retained by a Mafia chieftain to track down a mutual enemy, an assassin named Lewis Rose, who has fled to Argentina. In Buenos Aires, Bobbie and Andy find corruption in the Argentine government’s ruling party. The Peronistas have ties to the Argentine Mafia, the C.I.A., and the U.S. State Department and Lewis Rose has become immersed in it all, having taken the sobriquet “Charon”, the mythological boatman who ferries souls across the river Styx to Hades. Charon the Ferryman becomes the Peronistas’ assassin, as well as the bodyguard and lover of the President’s daughter, Zulemita Menendez. The moderate Alianza party persuades Bobbie and Andy to help stop Charon, but the Ferryman stays a step ahead of them. The chase is on as the Richards follow Lewis and Zulemita Menendez back to the U.S., where Zulemita will attend college at Bryn Mawr, a sister school to Swarthmore College, where Bobbie’s daughter is a sophomore. As paths cross again, more people die before Lewis is caught and Bobbie and Andy discover that the Mafia connection in Argentina is more than they could ever have suspected.
