The Technologists by Matthew Pearl is an historical set in Boston in 1868 where a fiery cataclysm in the Harbor throws commerce into chaos as ships’ instruments spin out of control. Soon after, another catastrophe devastates the heart of the city. Is it sabotage or Nature? Enter the first class to enter Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a daring institution with a mission to harness science for the benefit of all. A band of the Institute’s best and brightest students come together to save innocent lives and track down the truth. $26.00
Kira Peikoff was here last night to celebrate the publication of her debut novel, Living Proof. Set in 2027, when destroying an embryo is considered first-degree murder, fertility clinics still exist but have to pass rigorous inspections by the U.S. Department of Embryo Preservation. One small clinic seems to be able to pass every government requirement and since the head of that clinic, Arianna Drake, has a radical past, undercover agent Trent Rowe is sent in to investigate possible illegal activity. $24.99
The Mirage by Matt Ruff is a mind-bending novel in which an alternate history of 9/11 uncovers startling truths about America and The Middle East. It is 11/9/2001 and Christian fundamentalists hijack four jetliners. They fly two into the Tigris & Euphrates World Trade Towers in Baghdad, a third into the Arab Defense Ministry while the fourth plane, bound for Mecca, is brought down by its passengers. In the Summer of 2009, Arab Homeland Security agent Mustafa al Baghdadi interrogates a captured suicide bomber who claims that the world they are living in is a mirage. America is a superpower, and the Arab states are just a collection of "backward third-world countries." A search of the bomber’s apartment turns up a copy of The New York Times dated September 12, 2001, that appears to support his claim. $25.99
