Night
Summary
Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Gold Medal, Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel offers an unforgettable account of Hitler's horrific reign of terror in Night. This definitive edition features a new translation from the original French by Wiesel's wife and frequent translator, Marion Wiesel. Night is an unmistakably autobiographical account of the author's own gruesome experiences in Nazi Germany's death camps. Told through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet unfolds with a heart-wrenching inevitability. Even as they are stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities. Not until they are marched toward the blazing crematory at the camp's "reception center" does the terrible truth sink in. Recounting the evils at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Wiesel's enduring classic of Holocaust literature raises questions of continuing significance for all future generations: How could man commit these horrors, and could such an evil ever be repeated?

Fifteen of the best indie authors. Fifteen extraordinary stories. One best-selling universe. It’s the 22nd century. The galaxy has opened up to humanity as a hyperactive beehive of stargates and new technologies, and we suddenly find ourselves in a vast playground of different races, environments, and cultures.

When they do, though, the best mercs fall back and work out new plans, and you can bet on one thing - hope is not their strategy. Whether you’re a kid looking to get off your planet, or an unarmed merc facing an overwhelming force, or even the sole survivor of a pirate attack, there’s always an edge - and it’s up to the merc to find and exploit it! Edited by best-selling authors and universe creators Chris Kennedy and Mark Wandrey, Hope Is Not a Strategy includes all-new stories in the Four Horsemen universe by some of the best-selling indie authors currently in the business. These authors take on various aspects of the universe, giving you additional insight into a galaxy that isn’t at war...but definitely isn’t at peace.

Bomb
Summary
In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a Uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a scientific race that spanned three continents. In Great Britain and the United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific community; in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines to attack German heavy-water manufacturing; and deep in the desert, one brilliant group of scientists was hidden away at a remote site at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, the risk-taking, the deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb. Bomb was a 2012 National Book Awards finalist for Young People's Literature.

Return
Summary
The outside world was different than they remembered. Impersonal. Harsh. But that world was the same. It was the survivors who had changed. When the treaty between the United States and Russia offered the opportunity for Chuck, Madison, and the others to return to Alaska, they seized it, this time leaving modern conveniences behind by choice. Chuck and the community have the same mission they've always had: to live life to the fullest in a new world of their own making. But that means they must confront the Russian invaders yet again as the enemy tries to establish its own settlement, and the Nagys' world turns upside down once more - maybe for the final time. Fans of military fiction like William Johnstone's Ashes series and John Gilstrap's At All Costs will love the power, suspense, and deep family commitment of the End Times: Alaska trilogy. Cheer for the community as they try to build a new society on the ashes of the old world...a harsh post-war world where danger and trials stalk them at every turn.

Summary
It's been 10 years since the triumphant return of Chuck, his family, and his fellow settlers to a new, post-nuclear-war Alaska. It's been nine years since the UN recognized Alaska as a new nation under United States protection. Now, a struggling United States has abandoned them again. Good people have died.

And he will learn, and teach, a single, hard, essential lesson: You can only rise as high as you're willing to imagine.
