"Shatner’s curiosity shines through as he leavens the seriousness of his lifelong quest for meaning with his signature self-effacing humor…the result is a refreshingly self-aware portrait of a man determined to live every moment to the fullest." —Publishers Weekly

“This is mandatory reading for any thriller aficionado.”

―Steve Berry, New York Times Bestselling Author

“Scott Shepherd should be on every reader’s radar in 2013. First with the serialized novel The Seventh Day, and followed by Descending Son, his gifts for storytelling will provide steady rewards. Drawing on diverse influences that range from horror and fantasy to classic noir, Shepherd’s voice is decidedly unique, and while his storytelling may absorb the focus, with his cinematic gifts for action and cliffhangers, it is in his understanding of the human heart that his writing steps forward and shines.“—Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of The Prophet

“Siegel’s smoky, cinematic art conveys the promise of New York and the hopefulness of Hanukkah with great emotion.”―The New York Times Book Review

“Mr. Siegel gives Oskar such large and luminous eyes that we ought to be inoculated against tears—no child is so winsome in real life—yet, somehow, we aren’t.”―The Wall Street Journal

“Alexander Smalls dances and sings and cooks his way through a brilliant and fascinating portrait of Southern comfort.”—Cicely Tyson

“Ivan Isaenko is a beautiful, heartbreaking, and hilarious novel whose closest literary relative might be One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest…A highbrow literary comic book of a novel that will appeal to any reader with a beating heart – a true gem.”―Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs

“An auspicious, gut-wrenching, wonderful debut.”—Kirkus, starred review
