adobe news gothic plain font size not to exceed 10
TOM WEST
Marine archaeologists Kate Wetherall and Lou Bates are
diving off Howland Island in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean, when a torpedo-shaped object hurtles through
the water towards them; the fuselage of Amelia Earhart's
lost plane. In the cockpit, they find a corroded metal
cylinder the size of a baton.
Landing back on US soil, Kate and Lou are arrested and
interrogated by special forces, and the cylinder
confiscated. Behind the arrests is Glena Buckingham,
CEO of the powerful energy conglomerate Eurenergy,
as she too has discovered that the wrecked plane may
have held precious secret cargo.
Meanwhile, an extraordinary piece of footage has come
to light - of Einstein talking about a radical new defence
technology he had been working on.
Whoever can decrypt the lost cipher, which holds the
key to Einstein's secret defence technology, could hold
the key to global power.
Tom West is the pseudonym for the internationally
bestselling author of nine novels. Private Down Under,
which he co-wrote with James Patterson under the name
Michael White, is the latest in the Private series. Tom
West lives in Perth, Australia.

THE GREAT LEADER AND THE FIGHTER PILOT:
THE TRUE STORY OF THE TYRANT WHO CREATED
NORTH KOREA AND THE YOUNG LIEUTENANT WHO
STOLE HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
Blaine Harden
The bestselling author of Escape from Camp 14 tells one man's a
stonishing story, set against the world's longest-lasting totalitarian
state: North Korea
THE GREAT LEADER AND THE FIGHTER PILOT
adobe news gothic plain font size not to exceed 10
BLAINE HARDEN
An ambitious and gripping exploration of the world's
most secretive state through the intertwined lives of two
North Koreans, one infamous, one obscure: Kim Il
Sung, the former North Korean leader and No Kum Sok,
once the state's youngest jet fighter pilot. Shortly before
the Korean War ended, their paths crossed. Kim Il Sung
congratulated No Kum Sok on his flying skill and
courage, but just a few months later, No Kum Sok stole
a Soviet-made MiG-15 and escaped to a US airfield in
South Korea.
This non-fiction thriller digs deeply into the character of
the Kim family dictatorship. Both an irresistible
adventure story and an authoritative guide to the
notorious state, The Great Leader and the Fighter
Pilot explains why North Korea remains so isolated,
why it created and maintains its concentration camps,
and why it is still so angry at the western world.
'Harden's book, besides being a gripping story,
unsparingly told, carries a freight of intelligence about
this black hole of a country' -New York

SO YOU’VE BEEN PUBLICLY SHAMED
Jon Ronson
From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Psychopath
Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most
underappreciated forces: shame.
SO YOU’VE BEEN PUBLICLY SHAMED
adobe news gothic plain font size not to exceed 10
JON RONSON
'It's about the terror, isn't it?'
'The terror of what?' I said.
'The terror of being found out.'
For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the
world meeting recipients of high-profile public
shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who,
say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or
made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is
revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a
hurricane and the next thing they know they're being
torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized,
sometimes even fired from their job.
A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our
land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority
are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our
voice? We are mercilessly finding people's faults. We
are defining the boundaries of normality by ruining the
lives of those outside it. We are using shame as a form
of social control.
Simultaneously powerful and hilarious in the way only
Jon Ronson can be, So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a
deeply honest book about modern life, full of eye-
opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws
- and the very scary part we all play in it.
Jon Ronson is an award-winning nonfiction writer and
documentary maker. He is the author of four bestsellers,
Them: Adventures with Extremists, The Men Who Stare
at Goats, The Psychopath Test and Lost at Sea: The Jon
Ronson Mysteries, and two collections, Out of the
Ordinary: True Tales of Everyday Craziness and What I
Do: More True Tales of Everyday Craziness. His latest
book is the short story Frank: The True Story that
Inspired the Movie. His first fictional screenplay, Frank,
co-written with Peter Straughan, has been directed by
Lenny Abrahamson and stars Michael Fassbender. He
lives in London and New York City.

PAIGE MCKENZIE
Shortly after her sixteenth birthday, Sunshine Griffith
and her mother Kat move from sunny Austin, Texas, to
the rain-drenched town of Ridgemont, Washington.
Though Sunshine is adopted, she and her mother have

she cannot place. And even if Kat doesn’t recognize it,
Sunshine knows that something about their new house is
just ... creepy.
In the days that follow, things only get stranger.
Sunshine is followed around the house by an icy breeze,
phantom wind slams her bedroom door shut, and
eventually, the laughter Sunshine hears on her first night
evolves into sobs. She can hardly believe it, but as the
spirits haunting her house become more frighten¬ing—
and it becomes clear that Kat is in danger—Sunshine
must accept what she is, pass the test before her, and
save her mother from a fate worse than death.

THE BAREFOOT LAWYER: THE REMARKABLE
MEMOIR OF CHINA’S BRAVEST POLITICAL ACTIVIST
Chen Guangcheng
An electrifying memoir by the blind Chinese activist who inspired
millions with his fight for justice, and his belief in the cause of
freedom.
THE BAREFOOT LAWYER
adobe news gothic plain font size not to exceed 10
It was like a scene out of a thriller: one morning in April
2012, China's most famous political activist-a blind,
self-taught lawyer-climbed over the wall of his heavily
guarded home and escaped. For days, his whereabouts
remained unknown; after he turned up at the American
embassy in Beijing, a furious round of high-level
negotiations finally led to his release and a new life in
the United States.
Chen Guangcheng is a unique figure on the world stage,
but his story is even more remarkable than we knew.
The son of a poor farmer in rural China, blinded by
illness when he was an infant, Chen was fortunate to
survive a difficult childhood. But despite his disability,
he was determined to educate himself and fight for the
rights of his country's poor, especially a legion of
women who had endured forced sterilizations under the
hated 'one child' policy. Repeatedly harassed, beaten,
and imprisoned by Chinese authorities, Chen was
ultimately placed under house arrest. After a year of
fruitless protest and increasing danger, he evaded his
captors and fled to freedom.
Both a riveting memoir and a revealing portrait of
modern China, this passionate book tells the story of a
man who has never accepted limits and always believed
in the power of the human spirit to overcome any
obstacle.
