Proceed With Caution by Patricia Ratto
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.0 MB | Retail
Overview: Patricia Ratto’s English language debut collection, Proceed With Caution, offers an alternate reality that is both mysterious and familiar. Whether it’s a malevolent act born from the paranoia of living under a totalitarian regime, or the creeping sense of dread blanketing a small whaling town, the stories in Proceed With Caution linger in the memory, and make us question where the natural world ends and the supernatural begins.

In "Rara Avis" a baby bird is rescued after dropping from the sky, only to transform from vulnerable creature to life-threatening menace. In the powerfully moving title story, an old woman lives out her final days accompanied by a mysterious doglike being that provides comfort even as it devours her memories. And in the novella "Submerged," an Argentine submarine crew during the Falklands War of the early 1980s navigates its way through a claustrophobic nightmare of boredom and terror, where the very meaning of being alive is cast in doubt.

Translated from the Spanish by PEN/Heim award-winner Andrea G. Labinger, Proceed With Caution is a striking collection, brimming with emotion, animal instinct, and a sense of wonder that announces the arrival of a compelling new voice in Latin American literature.

Fighting Back (Innocents No More Book 4) by Andrew Wareham
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 318 KB
Overview: The Battle of Britain is over and Squadron Leader Thomas Stark is posted to Hurribombers; a new incarnation for the old fighter. He is tired, short-tempered, snappy – he needs a rest from flying and command. But, that’s not to be.

Sent to North Africa with the squadron, it becomes clear a few weeks into the action that the short-ranged Hurribomber is unsuitable for desert work, and he is soon shifted across to a squadron of Marylands – unloved twin engine light bombers capable of being used as long-range fighters, but with a reputation for being hard to fly and a string of crashes behind them.
Stark makes the best of the squadron and takes them out on a special mission… which is perhaps too successful.

Mr Edward Bennet of Longbourn : His Life and Recollections by Stuart Halliday
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 386 KB
Overview: These are the recollections of Mr Edward Alston Bennet (1755-1841), father of the five Bennet sisters made famous by Jane Austen’s great work of fiction. The long span of the memoirs (1765-1825) on which the book is based, makes it both a prequel and a sequel to Pride and Prejudice. It tells of Mr Bennet’s days at Rugby School and Cambridge, of his Grand Tour, and of his later life; especially of his 12-year tenure as a radical whig MP. It tells of the people he met and who enriched his life – William Pitt, Thomas Paine, Casanova, to name but three. He also tells of his love affair with the notorious Elizabeth Lamb, Lady Melbourne. Mr Bennet’s recollections concentrate on his friends, on his family members, and on their life after the momentous year 1811-12. The work also provides possible answers to some open questions raised in Miss Austen’s magnum opus.

Vindicated: A Novel of Mary Shelley by Kathleen Williams Renk
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.7 MB | Retail
Overview: Mary Godwin is a teenager with a formidable pedigree. Both of her parents are philosophers but it is Mary Wollstonecraft, the mother she never met, who haunts her waking and dreaming worlds. Reading about her mother’s life and death inspires Mary to keep a journal. Just as the tumult of her parents’ relationship comes alive in her imagination, she meets emerging poet Percy Shelley. Even though he is married and his wife is pregnant, Shelley threatens to kill himself if Mary will not elope with him. It’s possible that Shelley is mad, but their intellectual and creative affinities convince her that she is his Child of Light.

Passionate and intellectual, Mary struggles with the demands of her volatile husband and their circle of friends, including her stepsister Claire and George Gordon, Lord Byron. But as she writes Frankenstein, she also muses about her encounters with her creature and the philosophical questions of life, death, and creation that undergird her novel. Justifying their unconventional life and enduring personal tragedies, Mary follows in her mother’s footsteps, as she contemplates a woman’s place in literature and the world.
