"[P]lot really isn't the point of this narrative: TONGUING THE ZEITGEIST is an expressionistic piece of razzle-dazzle, the plot providing Olsen with an armature on which to hang his sizzling prose and pin-sharp-punchy dialogue (and this novel contains some really marvelous dialogue), his weird humor, his fantastical characters....[D]o read this book." -- Richard Calder

The Sparrow
by Mary Doria Russell
ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLYS TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR "A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT . . . Russell shows herself to be a skillful storyteller who subtly and expertly builds suspense."--USA Today "AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED . . . If you have to send a group of people to a newly discovered planet to contact a totally unknown species, whom would you choose? How about four Jesuit priests, a young astronomer, a physician, her engineer husband, and a child prostitute-turned-computer-expert? Thats who Mary Doria Russell sends in her new novel, The Sparrow. This motley combination of agnostics, true believers, and misfits becomes the first to explore the Alpha Centuri world of Rakhat with both enlightening and disastrous results. . . . Vivid and engaging . . . An incredible novel."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "POWERFUL . . . Father Emilio Sandoz [is] the only survivor of a Jesuit mission to the planet Rakhat, a soul . . . looking for God.' We first meet him in Italy . . . sullen and bitter. . . . But he was not always this way, as we learn through flashbacks that tell the story of the ill-fated trip. . . . The Sparrow tackles a difficult subject with grace and intelligence."--San Francisco Chronicle "SMOOTH STORYTELLING AND GORGEOUS CHARACTERIZATION . . . Important novels leave deep cracks in our beliefs, our prejudices, and our blinders. The Sparrow is one of them."--Entertainment Weekly SELECTED BY THE BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB

Spares
by Michael M. Smith
Suppose for a moment youre Jack Randall. Youre a loner, an ex-cop, the dangerous veteran of a savage war. All youve held dear has long ago been destroyed. For the last five years youve been hiding out on a spares farm, working at the only job that will still have you: guarding people who have never seen the outside world and cant even spell the word "escape." In short, your luck has run out.You might think things couldnt get any worse. Youd be wrong. Because Jack Randall has a talent for attracting trouble: the kind most people run screamingfrom. But Jack Randall is not most people. Thats part of his trouble. Now hes on the run with seven of the Farms inmates (well, six and a half), and the people who own them will do anything to get them back. All Jack wants to do is score enough money to disappear with his human contraband. But things aren't as simple as that. For Jack Randall, they never are.Jack is on a head-on collision course with the man responsible for all this misery--a cold-blooded killer with one purpose: to cancel Jack once and for all.Now Jack has a decision to make: keep running or even the score? Either way spells more trouble. And when the ghosts of the past meet the terrors of the future, the result for Jack will be one hell of a scary ride.Who are the spares? And what is their purpose? That is the most shocking revelation of all.
