    City of Endless NightCity of Endless Night
    by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

    Over 500 5-Star Reviews!

    When Grace Ozmian, the beautiful and reckless daughter of a wealthy tech billionaire, first goes missing, the NYPD assumes she has simply sped off on another wild adventure. Until the young woman’s body is discovered in an abandoned warehouse in Queens, the head nowhere to be found.

    Lieutenant CDS Vincent D’Agosta quickly takes the lead. He knows his investigation will attract fierce scrutiny, so D’Agosta is delighted when FBI Special Agent A. X. L. Pendergast shows up at the crime scene assigned to the case…

    But neither Pendergast nor D’Agosta are prepared for what lies ahead. A diabolical presence is haunting the greater metropolitan area, and Grace Ozmian was only the first of many victims to be murdered…and decapitated. Worse still, there’s something unique to the city itself that has attracted the evil eye of the killer.

    As mass hysteria sets in, Pendergast and D’Agosta find themselves in the crosshairs of an opponent who has threatened the very lifeblood of the city. It’ll take all of Pendergast’s skill to unmask this most dangerous foe – let alone survive to tell the tale.

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 Differently Morphous

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 09/26/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    Differently MorphousDifferently Morphous by Yahtzee Croshaw

    Over 1,500 5-Star Reviews!

    A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret.

    After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country’s magical history – and magical citizens – to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations.

    On the trail of the killer are the Ministry’s top agents: a junior operative with a photographic memory (and not much else), a couple of overgrown schoolboys with godlike powers, and a demonstrably insane magician.

    But as they struggle for results, their superiors at HQ must face the greatest threat the Ministry has ever known: the forces of political correctness…

    Differently Morphous is the latest and greatest tale to emerge from the mind of writer (and narrator) Yahtzee Croshaw.

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 How Language Began

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 09/25/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    How Language Began: The Story of Humanity's Greatest InventionHow Language Began: The Story of Humanity’s Greatest Invention by Daniel L. Everett

    Mankind has a distinct advantage over other terrestrial species: we talk to one another. But how did we acquire the most advanced form of communication on Earth?

    Daniel L. Everett, a "bombshell" linguist and "instant folk hero" (Tom Wolfe, Harper’s), provides in this sweeping history a comprehensive examination of the evolutionary story of language, from the earliest speaking attempts by hominids to the more than 7,000 languages that exist today.

    Although fossil hunters and linguists have brought us closer to unearthing the true origins of language, Daniel Everett’s discoveries have upended the contemporary linguistic world, reverberating far beyond academic circles. While conducting field research in the Amazonian rainforest, Everett came across an age-old language nestled amongst a tribe of hunter-gatherers. Challenging long-standing principles in the field, Everett now builds on the theory that language was not intrinsic to our species. In order to truly understand its origins, a more interdisciplinary approach is needed – one that accounts as much for our propensity for culture as it does our biological makeup.
