Lieutenant Eve Dallas investigates a bizarre suicide bombing in a Manhattan office building, in a new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from J.D. Robb... The airline executives were about to finalize a merger at a nine a.m. meeting. Then marketing VP Paul Rogan walked into the plush conference room, strapped with explosives. Eve Dallas quickly confirms that Rogan, a dedicated employee and family man, was cruelly coerced to set off the bomb. He was motivated only by a desperate need to save his wife and daughter from the masked men holding them hostage even if it meant committing suicide and mass murder. But what was the motive of the two masked men, who are now in the wind? The police investigation reveals months of intricate planning by the perpetrators, but the targeting appears random and the timing seems pointless. Despite the chaos and bad publicity, blowing up one meeting isn't going to put the brakes on the merger. All it's accomplished is shattering a lot of innocent lives. With the help of her billionaire husband who knows finance and has friends in both high and low places Eve must untangle the reason for an inexplicable act of terror.... "J.D. Robb continues to do a fine job balancing Eve the woman against Eve the career homicide detective... That may be why the series works for adventure after adventure after adventure".

This collection of essays thrusts Joseph Brodsky previously known more for his poetry and translations into the forefront of the "Third Wave" of Russian emigre writers. Originally published the year before Brodsky received the Nobel Prize in Literature, Less Than One includes intimate literary essays and autobiographical pieces that evoke the daily discomfort of living under tyranny. His insights into the works of Dostoevsky, Mandelstam, and Platonov, as well as the non-Russian poets Auden, Cavafy and Montale are brilliant; Seamus Heaney said of Brodsky's treatment of one of Auden's most famous poems, "There will be no greater paean to poetry as the breath and finer spirit of all human knowledge than Brodsky's line by line commentary on September 1, 1939". Less than One, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award, was Brodsky's first published work of prose, and "if there's an essential essay collection... it's this one". This edition, reissued to mark Brodsky's eightieth birthday, allows the reader to delve into the Nobel laureate's mastery of language, through both his analysis of great works and his own brand of descriptive dissent, at a pivotal point in his career.
