In post-revolutionary France, Jean Valjean is paroled after serving 19 years in prison for stealing bread. Unable to find work as an ex-convict, he steals silver from a church. When he is caught and brought back, the bishop forgives him, instructing Valjean to use the silver to begin a new life. After breaking parole to do so, nine years later Valjean is a wealthy industrialist and mayor. This success comes at high price-- he is hunted by ruthless policeman Javert, his former prison guard. When Valjean comes across a woman being arrested by his old nemesis Javert, Valjean intervenes, risking discovery. When Valjean learns that the woman, Fantine, turned to prostitution after losing her position at his factory because she has a child, he befriends Fantine, even agreeing to care for her daughter, Cosette. The decision changes their lives forever.

The agent, identified only under the pseudonym "Youssef," testified Tuesday at a trial in federal court that he doubted the sincerity of suspect Mohamed Mohamud in initial meetings in early August 2010.
By the end of the month, however, the agent says he was convinced Mohamud was serious about carrying out a terrorism plot.
The agent says he kept close tabs on Mohamud because he was worried Mohamud would "martyr himself early."
Mohamud was the subject of an FBI sting that ended at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in November 2010. Prosecutors claim Mohamud tried to detonate a bomb that was a fake provided by the FBI.

Madonna's French painting sells in NYC for $7.2MAP , Associated Press
May. 8, 2013 7:16 AM ET
NEW YORK (AP) — A French painting owned by Madonna has sold at a New York City auction for more than $7 million. Madonna attends The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit celebrating "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" on Monday May 6, 2013 in New York. (Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP)
Sotheby's auction house hasn't said who bought Fernand Leger's (lay-ZHAYZ') "Three Women at the Red Table" for $7.2 million on Tuesday. The abstract work had a pre-sale estimate of $5 million to $7 million. Proceeds of the sale will benefit the Ray of Light Foundation, which supports girls' education in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries. Madonna says she wanted to "trade something valuable for something invaluable" in countries where female education is rare or nonexistent. She bought the work at Sotheby's in 1990 for $3.4 million. Leger created the work in 1921 as part of a series depicting women with still-life compositions. ___ Online: © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #20 Review
Miles takes on the new Venom.
"Holy gazoongahs!" is what Ganke exclaims at the sight of Miles fighting the monstrous behemoth that is the new Ultimate Venom, and I couldn't put it any better myself. With the 616 Venom being a sleek secret agent most of the time, this is the most fearsome and relentless we've seen the character in ages. Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli have done a wondrous job reinventing villains for Miles to take on, and they continue their streak with this new Venom who is as mysterious as he is powerful.
Bendis masterfully dances around all manner of cliche by making Miles well-informed about the battles Peter Parker fought as well as keeping his own recent lessons close at hand. By using short and sweet bits of inner monologue, Bendis makes his story smarter and sharper. Venom has an awful lot to say about the circumstances that led to Miles getting spider-powers, yet anything of substance to let us know who it really is remains just out of grasp. Bendis is teasing us, and frankly I don't mind.
This issue is just one giant slam-dunk for Pichelli. She even breaks the glass of the backboard. Her Venom is off the hook with thick limbs sprouting dinosaur claws and long tentacles that whip furiously about. The way it moves is like a charging gorilla and a hungry alligator combined, which lets her show off the agile yet not-that-graceful movements of Miles. Miles knows how to jump but hasn't figured out how to stick all of the landings yet. And for all of this blood-pumping action, Bendis knows how to bring it all around to make it a personal affair in the end.

Spray tanning and chemo??? -
Hello all,
My most loyal of tanning clients has sadly been diagnosed with cancer (again) and this time will be going through large bouts of chemo. She loves her tan and has said that even chemo isn't going to stop her having her tan. It's the one thing that makes her feel good. Has anyone tanned someone going thru chemo? What should I expect? Her skin will get VERY dry will it not and need copious amounts of moisturiser to keep her tan on??? Any idea? Thanks in advance, Missy |

I have a client with secondary cancer who is on chemo. She tends to come to me when she is off her chemo for a week or so. The tan has always worked out fine. She does have dry skin but she moisturises every day.
As long as she doesn't put on body lotion before the tan she should be ok. She may have to exfoliate after a few days to make sure it fades well. I can only speak from my experience but you wont know until you try. My client loves to have a tan as it makes her look and more importantly, "feel" healthy. I consider it a privilege to have the chance to make her feel so much better! |

HI hon
Sorry, I need to just state that I am not able to as a condition my own insurance at my salon. I didnt mean that you cant at all.... Thats something you would need to clear up with your insurance , and then your tanning suppliers. Chemo can do some pretty tough things to the body and I imagine that your spray tan soloution provider would be able to clear up possible outcomes or indeed if they recommend you avoid spray tanning whilst chemo is being performed. When I had a malignant melanoma I was refused a note from my doc to say I could have one. He said that it was not wise , and I think it was due to possible skin irritation , though Ill be honest and say that I am not 100% certain on that. I dont mean to frighten anyone into thinking they cant, just saying that our insurance wont let us, and so possibly, it could be good to check with insurance and tanning solution providers. tigi |

Hi there,
I had a lady enquire about spray tanning when undergoing chemo, I use Fake Bake and contacted them and was advised that they have had a lot of clients who have had chemo who have had tans and it has been absolutely fine but they also advised that there is a very slight risk that the tanning agents might not take to the skin very well because of the medication. I would also get her to check with her dr first and get a drs note just to cover your insurance but if the drs are happy with it I would def advise her to keep having them, if its going to make her feel good then it cant be a bad thing..... x |

New biography of Gowers released
12 October 2012
New Gowers' biography released
A new book chronicling the life of distinguished clinical neurologist, William Richard Gowers, was launched yesterday at Queen Square at the Third International Workshop on Functional Neurosurgery. William Richard Gowers (1845-1915): Exploring the Victorian Brain is co-authored by UCL Institute of Neurology's Professor Andrew Lees, Ann Scott, Gowers great granddaughter, and Mervyn Eadie, a neurologist from Brisbane.
William Gowers is arguably the greatest clinical neurologist of all time and had a distinguished career at University College Hospital and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, becoming a fellow of the Royal Society and being knighted by Queen Victoria. His clinical methods are still used today and his Manual of the Diseases of the Nervous System, arguably his finest achievement, is still referred to at the Hospital where it is known affectionately as the "Bible."
The book was inspired by a chance finding by Queen Square librarian, Louise Shepherd, who found a number of lost papers relating to William Gowers' time at the Hospital. This coincided with a visit to the library by Ann Scott, who was researching another book about her grandfather Sir Ernest Gowers, former Chairman of the Board of Governors at Queen Square and a distinguished civil servant. Professor Lees, in his capacity as Chairman of the Hospitals' Archives Committee, met with Ann and together with Mervyn Eadie, they embarked on the project.

Marketers are constantly looking for information what people actually do at trade events. Not what they do after show hours, that information should stay between the attendee and his or her concierge. What marketers want is a deeper understanding of what seminar attendees buzz about, what exhibitors' technologies are attracting the most attention and maybe which booth has the best chotskies. The challenge is getting that data in real time.
Today, there is no better buzz barometer than social media sites and no better real-time data capture technology than RFID. Well, last week RFID Journal combined the two by testing out an RFID-enabled kiosk at RFID Journal LIVE!, the world's largest RFID event. RFID Journal, in partnership with technology providers ODIN Technologies, Thingmagic and Zebra provided show goers the opportunity to use RFID-enabled kiosks for real-time Facebook "Likes" and "Check-ins." There was also an RFID-enabled photo booth that allowed attendees to scan their badges and get their photos taken and automatically posted to their Facebook pagse as well as RFID Journal's Facebook page.
The application was intended to show how RFID can enhance engagement at events by allowing attendees a seamless real-time bridge between event news and happenings and the social networks they are connected to. By connecting their badges with a personal profile, the kiosks enabled a simple update and check-in process that eliminated site logins and smartphone fumbling.
A similar application, sans kiosk, has been deployed on several Vail ski resorts to provide skiers insight on where their friends are on the slopes and data on how far and how much they have skied by aggregating the information collected on each pass-card read at chair lifts.
On a broader scale, the RFID Journal kiosks showed marketers the potential to connect in real time with event attendees in order to build broader event buzz for their products or services.

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. -
-- More than eight years in the making, a new database containing information from U.S. military and coalition aerial bombing campaigns over the last century is now publicly available online.
An historical data collection project developed and researched by Lt. Col. Jenns Robertson, the Theater History of Operations Reports database, or THOR, has evolved into a full-scale research tool available online at http://afri.au.af.mil/thor/index.asp.
The database combines digitized paper mission reports starting with World War I to create a central source of bombing history around the globe. The database can be searched by date, conflict or even aircraft-specific criteria, and organized into spreadsheets, charts or onto maps, forming a live-action sequence of events.
The THOR database is useful not only for current and future military commanders, Robertson said, but also for academic researchers, historians and government agencies involved in unexploded ordnance cleanup efforts.
"The most exciting part is that I can't envision all the ways this can be used," Robertson said. "This is a data trove that allows us to look over the last 70-100 years of bombing data, how we've conducted wars for the last century using airpower, and if we can't pull lessons out of that, then we're not doing our job."
Currently, the public can access data, including 58 different aircraft, bomb information, and even altitude, from World Wars I and II and Vietnam. The records from World War II and Vietnam are the most complete, he said, and include U.S. and Royal air force data, as well as some Australian, New Zealand and South African air force missions.
"We've tried to have all air forces, to make sure that it is an airpower view versus just a [U.S.] Air Force view, so joint, coalition data is our goal," explained Robertson.
Korea, he added, will be included on THOR, but record keeping during that time was done by hand due to changing technology.
"Everything was done free-text, not punch-card text or digitally, so we have to read the reports to pull the context out in order to get the data," he said.
Robertson began the project in 2006 when his military duties required him to create weekly briefings of current bombing activity. Realizing that it was taking longer than necessary to gather information from multiple resources, Robertson wanted to create a centralized source of information for military commanders to use. The need for a single information pool on current missions expanded into Robertson's goal of building an entire airpower collection dating back to World War I. During his off-duty time, Robertson spent the next five years decoding almost four million Vietnam War entries gathered from the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
When he was assigned to the Air Force Research Institute here to work exclusively on THOR, Robertson was able to locate strategic bombing information from WWII and battlefield raid reports from WWI, further adding to the database.
"We're still hunting for some of the data, and I don't know if we'll ever find it. You ask and you hunt and oftentimes we get lucky and find a trove like in the halls of the Air Force Historical Research Agency where I ran across the bombing survey books that had been untouched for 70 years," Robertson said.
Although the THOR website is just now publicly available, the database has already proved helpful, most recently by the Vietnamese government, which is using the Vietnam conflict data to assess post-war bomb and mine contamination in the Southeast Asia region.
"We can show that they have actually been able to save lives and prevent casualties since they originally got the data back in 2010, and the data that we've been able to give them has been even better, so hopefully we'll improve their chances of lowering exposure to explosives," Robertson said. "To be told, and to find out from the folks that are doing the demining in the field, that the data that was sent to them made them more effective. It's an incredible feeling to get that feedback that what you're doing is important."
From the time the Minnesota native arrived at the Air Force Research Institute, he and THOR team members John Conway and computer programmer Billy Barth have been working to get the data online for public use. Robertson said part of the goal of putting THOR on a public website is to have the best and brightest academics and historians fill in the gaps in official documents and correct inaccurate data whenever necessary.
"The professors at the various universities who teach and are writing books and doing research, we want to provide them access to this resource so they can give us the feedback of whether or not we've got it right," Robertson said. "I suspect there are errors still uncovered within the system that I cannot discover because I don't have the knowledge base myself, but, if I put it out there for the experts to examine, we can make it a better resource faster than relying on me working by myself or just a small crowd of us within the [Department of Defense]. I look forward to seeing the response and see how we can make the database better for them."
The Website at httpafri.au.af.milthorindex.asp is not loading. I'm not sure who to contact about this problem. Can you let the Webmaster know of this problem Thank you in advance.
Peter Rogan, Detroit MI

For extra spending money Julep doesn't rely on her dad--she runs petty scams for her classmates while dodging the dean of students and maintaining an A+ (okay, A-) average.But when she comes home one day to a ransacked apartment and her father gone, Julep's carefully laid plans for an expenses-paid golden ticket to Yale start to unravel. Even with help from St. Agatha's resident Prince Charming, Tyler Richland, and her loyal hacker sidekick, Sam, Julep struggles to trace her dad's trail of clues through a maze of creepy stalkers, hit attempts, family secrets, and worse, the threat of foster care. With everything she has at stake, Julep's in way over her head . . . but that's not going to stop her from using every trick in the book to find her dad before his mark finds her. Because that would be criminal. "A sexy love triangle and madcap mystery . . . I loved this book." --Jennifer Echols, author of Dirty Little SecretOne of TeenVogue's 15 Most Exciting YA Books Coming Out This Year!"Julep isn't just another high schooler beset by the usual drama of boys and academia. Nope--she also happens to be a con artist and master of disguise, which comes in mighty handy when her father mysteriously disappears. Determined, she delves into the underbelly of Chicago to find him (bringing a bunch of fresh plot lines and unexpected twists along the way)."--teenVogue.com"Summer creates a standout character in Julep. She lies and cheats with so much confidence and skill that readers will cheer her on, but she also adheres to her own strict moral code. . . An memorable debut; here's hoping for a lot more from Summer."--Kirkus From the Hardcover edition.

Thanks to technology, anyone with enough money can experience fantasy worlds, risk their life without the chance of death, or just hang around with Virt-friends. And the more hacking skills you have, the more fun. Why bother following the rules when most of them are dumb, anyway?But some rules were made for a reason. Some technology is too dangerous to fool with. And recent reports claim that one gamer is going beyond what any gamer has done before: he's holding players hostage inside the VirtNet. The effects are horrific--the hostages have all been declared brain-dead. Yet the gamer's motives are a mystery.The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker.And they've been watching Michael. They want him on their team. But the risk is enormous. If he accepts their challenge, Michael will need to go off the VirtNet grid. There are back alleys and corners in the system human eyes have never seen and predators he can't even fathom--and there's the possibility that the line between game and reality will be blurred forever.From the Hardcover edition.

Golden Son continues the stunning saga of Darrow, a rebel forged by tragedy, battling to lead his oppressed people to freedom.As a Red, Darrow grew up working the mines deep beneath the surface of Mars, enduring backbreaking labor while dreaming of the better future he was building for his descendants. But the Society he faithfully served was built on lies. Darrow's kind have been betrayed and denied by their elitist masters, the Golds--and their only path to liberation is revolution. And so Darrow sacrifices himself in the name of the greater good for which Eo, his true love and inspiration, laid down her own life. He becomes a Gold, infiltrating their privileged realm so that he can destroy it from within. A lamb among wolves in a cruel world, Darrow finds friendship, respect, and even love--but also the wrath of powerful rivals. To wage and win the war that will change humankind's destiny, Darrow must confront the treachery arrayed against him, overcome his all-too-human desire for retribution--and strive not for violent revolt but a hopeful rebirth. Though the road ahead is fraught with danger and deceit, Darrow must choose to follow Eo's principles of love and justice to free his people. He must live for more.Advance praise for Golden Son "Pierce Brown is a prodigy. As great as the first book of the Red Rising Trilogy is, Golden Son is even better.

I want more!"--Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Snowblind "The stakes are even higher than they were in Red Rising, and the twists and turns of the story are every bit as exciting.

The Secret Race
by Daniel Coyle Tyler Hamilton"The holy grail for disillusioned cycling fans . . . The book's power is in the collective details, all strung together in a story that is told with such clear-eyed conviction that you never doubt its veracity. . . . The Secret Race isn't just a game changer for the Lance Armstrong myth. It's the game ender."--Outside NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDThe Secret Race is the book that rocked the world of professional cycling--and exposed, at long last, the doping culture surrounding the sport and its most iconic rider, Lance Armstrong. Former Olympic gold medalist Tyler Hamilton was once one of the world's top-ranked cyclists--and a member of Lance Armstrong's inner circle. Over the course of two years, New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle conducted more than two hundred hours of interviews with Hamilton and spoke with numerous teammates, rivals, and friends. The result is an explosive page-turner of a book that takes us deep inside a shadowy, fascinating, and surreal world of unscrupulous doctors, anything-goes team directors, and athletes so relentlessly driven to win that they would do almost anything to gain an edge. For the first time, Hamilton recounts his own battle with depression and tells the story of his complicated relationship with Lance Armstrong. This edition features a new Afterword, in which the authors reflect on the developments within the sport, and involving Armstrong, over the past year. The Secret Race is a courageous, groundbreaking act of witness from a man who is as determined to reveal the hard truth about his sport as he once was to win the Tour de France. With a new Afterword by the authors. "Loaded with bombshells and revelations."--VeloNews"[An] often harrowing story . . . the broadest, most accessible look at cycling's drug problems to date."--The New York Times " 'If I cheated, how did I get away with it?' That question, posed to SI by Lance Armstrong five years ago, has never been answered more definitively than it is in Tyler Hamilton's new book."--Sports Illustrated "Explosive."--The Daily Telegraph (London)

A Spell for Chameleon (The Parallel Edition... Simplified)
by Piers AnthonyPiers Anthony's bestselling Xanth series is one of the cornerstones of fantasy, a lively and whimsical interpretation of a genre often criticized for taking itself too seriously. Anthony's first Xanth novel, A Spell for Chameleon, was initially edited to target a more traditional audience. Now, in an eBook exclusive, A Spell for Chameleon has been reworked line by line--its language matching the simpler, playful way with words that made Piers Anthony an enduring fan favorite. Xanth is an enchanted land where magic rules, a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks where every citizen has a unique spell to call their own. For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth is no fairy tale. He alone has no magic. And unless he gets some--and fast!--he will be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey is convinced that Bink does indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insist that Bink has magic as powerful as any possessed by the King, the Good Magician Humfrey, or even the Evil Magician Trent. Be that as it may, no one can fathom the nature of Bink's very special magic. This is even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he still faces exile!
The Redemption of Althalus
by David Eddings Leigh EddingsIt would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor.Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness. On his way to steal The Book from the House at the End of the World, Althalus is confronted by a cat--a cat with eyes like emeralds, the voice of a woman, and the powers of a goddess. She is Dweia, sister to The Gods and a greater thief even than Althalus. She must be: for in no time at all, she has stolen his heart. And more. She has stolen time itself. For when Althalus leaves the House at the End of the World, much wiser but not a day older than when he'd first entered it, thousands of years have gone by.But Dweia is not the only one able to manipulate time. Her evil brother shares the power, and while Dweia has been teaching Althalus the secrets of The Book, the ancient God has been using the dark magic of his own Book to rewrite history. Yet all is not lost. But only if Althalus, still a thief at heart, can bring together a ragtag group of men, women, and children with no reason to trust him or each other.

Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution
by Michelle MoranThe world knows Madame Tussaud as a wax artist extraordinaire . . . but who was this woman who became one of the most famous sculptresses of all time? In these pages, her tumultuous and amazing story comes to life as only Michelle Moran can tell it. The year is 1788, and a revolution is about to begin. Smart and ambitious, Marie Tussaud has learned the secrets of wax sculpting by working alongside her uncle in their celebrated wax museum, the Salon de Cire. From her popular model of the American ambassador, Thomas Jefferson, to her tableau of the royal family at dinner, Marie's museum provides Parisians with the very latest news on fashion, gossip, and even politics. Her customers hail from every walk of life, yet her greatest dream is to attract the attention of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI; their stamp of approval on her work could catapult her and her museum to the fame and riches she desires. After months of anticipation, Marie learns that the royal family is willing to come and see their likenesses. When they finally arrive, the king's sister is so impressed that she requests Marie's presence at Versailles as a royal tutor in wax sculpting. It is a request Marie knows she cannot refuse--even if it means time awayfrom her beloved Salon and her increasingly dear friend, Henri Charles. As Marie gets to know her pupil, Princesse Élisabeth, she also becomes acquainted with the king and queen, who introduce her to the glamorous life at court. From lavish parties with more delicacies than she's ever seen to rooms filled with candles lit only once before being discarded, Marie steps into a world entirely different from her home on the Boulevard du Temple, where people are selling their teeth in order to put food on the table. Meanwhile, many resent the vast separation between rich and poor. In salons and cafés across Paris, people like Camille Desmoulins, Jean-Paul Marat, and Maximilien Robespierre are lashing out against the monarchy. Soon, there's whispered talk of revolution. . . . Will Marie be able to hold on to both the love of her life and her friendship with the royal family as France approaches civil war? And more important, will she be able to fulfill the demands of powerful revolutionaries who ask that she make the death masks of beheaded aristocrats, some of whom she knows? Spanning five years, from the budding revolution to the Reign of Terror, Madame Tussaud brings us into the world of an incredible heroine whose talent for wax modeling saved her life and preserved the faces of a vanished kingdom.From the Hardcover edition.
They Know Everything About You
by Robert Scheer Sara BeladiThey Know Everything About You is a groundbreaking exposé of how government agencies and tech corporations monitor virtually every aspect of our lives, and a fierce defense of privacy and democracy. The revelation that the government has access to a vast trove of personal online data demonstrates that we already live in a surveillance society. But the erosion of privacy rights extends far beyond big government. Intelligence agencies such as the NSA and CIA are using Silicon Valley corporate partners as their data spies. Seemingly progressive tech companies are joining forces with snooping government agencies to create a brave new world of wired tyranny. Life in the digital age poses an unprecedented challenge to our constitutional liberties, which guarantee a wall of privacy between the individual and the government. The basic assumption of democracy requires the ability of the individual to experiment with ideas and associations within a protected zone, as secured by the Constitution. The unobserved moment embodies the most basic of human rights, yet it is being squandered in the name of national security and consumer convenience. Robert Scheer argues that the information revolution, while a source of public enlightenment, contains the seeds of freedom's destruction in the form of a surveillance state that exceeds the wildest dream of the most ingenious dictator. The technology of surveillance, unless vigorously resisted, represents an existential threat to the liberation of the human spirit.

Kafka on the Shore
by Haruki MurakamiKAFKA ON THE SHORE follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's new novel is at once a classic tale of quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.
by Toni MorrisonNobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison's spellbinding new novel is a Faulknerian symphony of passion and hatred, power and perversity, color and class that spans three generations of black women in a fading beach town. In life, Bill Cosey enjoyed the affections of many women, who would do almost anything to gain his favor. In death his hold on them may be even stronger. Wife, daughter, granddaughter, employee, mistress: As Morrison's protagonists stake their furious claim on Cosey's memory and estate, using everything from intrigue to outright violence, she creates a work that is shrewd, funny, erotic, and heartwrenching.

by Diana GabaldonNew York Timesbestselling author ofOutlander Diana Gabaldon mesmerized readers with her award-winningOutlandernovels, four dazzlingNew York Timesbestsellers featuring 18th-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall.

The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser's wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler's certain knowledge. Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time--1743--when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George's army. Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor--Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead -- or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes. . . . Grand, sweeping, utterly unforgettable, Diana Gabaldon's new novel is riveting entertainment, a vibrant tapestry of history and human drama. Crossing the boundaries of genre with its unrivaled storytelling,The Fiery Crossis a gift both to her millions of loyal fans and to the lucky readers who have yet to discover her.

Sputnik Sweetheart
by Haruki MurakamiCombining the early, straightforward seductions ofNorwegian Wood and the complex mysteries ofThe Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, this new novel--his seventh translated into English--is Haruki Murakami at his most satisfying and representative best. The scenario is as simple as it is uncomfortable: a college student falls in love (once and for all, despite everything that transpires afterward) with a classmate whose devotion to Kerouac and an untidy writerly life precludes any personal commitments--until she meets a considerably older and far more sophisticated businesswoman. It is through this wormhole that she enters Murakami's surreal yet humane universe, to which she serves as guide both for us and for her frustrated suitor, now a teacher. In the course of her travels from parochial Japan through Europe and ultimately to an island off the coast of Greece, she disappears without a trace, leaving only lineaments of her fate: computer accounts of bizarre events and stories within stories. The teacher, summoned to assist in the search for her, experiences his own ominous, haunting visions, which lead him nowhere but home to Japan--and there, under the expanse of deep space and the still-orbiting Sputnik, he finally achieves a true understanding of his beloved. A love story, a missing-person story, a detective story--all enveloped in a philosophical mystery--and, finally, a profound meditation on human longing.
