The wife of a powerful judge is shot - in her own home, from what seems like an impossibly long distance.  Who had reason to commit the terrible act - and the ability to pull off the shot?  Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is about to find out.

When Joe is asked to join the rescue efforts for the victim of a grizzly attack, he reluctantly leaves his district behind.  Just as he begins to suspect the attack is not what it seems, Joe is brought home by an emergency on his own turf.  Someone has targeted a prominent judge, shooting at him from a baffling distance.  While the judge was not hit, his wife is severely wounded, and Joe must find answers and the shooter.

The search becomes personal when Joe's best friend Nate Romanowski is also threatened.  Beset by threats both man-made and natural, the two men must go to great lengths to keep their loved ones safe.

Lord of the Flies  William Golding

With a Biographical and Critical note by E. L. Epstein, and a Portrait of the Author

When Lord of the Flies first appeared in 1954 it received unprecedented reviews for a first novel.  Critics used such phrases as "beautifully written, tragic and provocative... vivid and enthralling... this beautiful and desperate book... completely convincing and often very frightening... its progress is magnificent... like a fragment of nightmare... a dizzy climax of terror... the terrible spell of this book..."  E. M. Forester chose it as the Outstanding Novel of the Year.  Time and Tide touched upon perhaps the most important facet of this book when it said, "It is not only a first-rate adventure story but a parable of our times," and articles on this and subsequent Golding novels have stressed these twin aspects of Golding: a consummate control on the novel form, and a superb all-encompassing vision of reality which communicates itself with a power reminiscent of Conrad.

- CHICAGO TRIBUNE

It's Joe Pickett's last week as temporary game warden in the mountain town of Baggs, Wyoming, but his con-science won't let him leave without checking out the strange reports coming from the wilderness: camps looted, tents slashed, elk butchered.  Not to mention the Olympic hopeful who'd been training in the region and then just... vanished.  What awaits him is like something out of an old campfire tale, except this story is all too real - and all too deadly.  Joe thought he was saddling up for his last patrol.  If only he'd known how true that might turn out to be...

- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

The Red Desert of Wyoming is a beautiful and punishing place for anybody, but never more dangerous than it is now for game warden Joe Pickett, his friend Nate Ro-manowski, and the one who should never have been there, Joe's daughter Sheridan.

Nate is off the grid when he is suddenly confronted by a small team of elite professional operators.  They want to make a deal.  They need help destroying a domestic terror cell in the Red Desert, and in return, will make Nate's criminal record disappear.  But they are not what they seem - they have a very different plan in mind, one that might just take them all down.

"C. J. Box continues his spectacular roll with the darkly mesmerizing Off the Grid.  Joe Pickett and Nate Romanowski have become the gold standard, playing off each other perfectly as different sides of the same coin."

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden - especially one like Joe, who won't take bribes or look the other way - is always far from popular.  When Joe finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally - and thrusts himself into a mystery that threatens the life and family he loves.

"Box's book has it all - suspenseful plot, magnificent scenery, and a flawed male hero who is tough but truly connected to his family....  Profoundly memorable."  - BOSTON HERALD

"Open Season rings true....  Full of the kind of grittiness a reader can expect from a place where blood and bone are not just the stuff of crime fiction, but of sport and survival, too."  - THE DENVER POST

An electrifying standalone thriller that breaks all the rules!

Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett and his wife, Marybeth, make separate discoveries that put the Pickett family in a pair of killers' crosshairs in this thrilling new novel in the bestselling series.

A day before the three Pickett girls come home for Thanksgiving, Joe is called out for a moose-poaching incident that turns out to be something much more sinister: a local fishing guide has been brutally tortured and murdered.  At the same time, Marybeth opens an unmarked package at the library where she works and finds a photo album that belonged to an infamous Nazi official.  Who left it there?  And why?

She learns that during World War II, several Wyoming soldiers were part of the first American company to reach Hitler's Eagle's Nest retreat in the Alps - and one of them took the Führer's personal photo album.  Did another take this one and keep it all these years?  When a close neighbor is murdered, Joe and Marybeth face new questions: Who is after the book?  And how will they solve its mystery before someone hurts them... or their girls?

Meanwhile, Nate Romanowski is on the hunt for the man who stole his falcons and attacked his wife.  Using a network of fellow falconers, Nate tracks the man from one city to another.  Even as he grasps the true threat his quarry presents, Nate swoops in for the kill - and a stunning final showdown.

KURT VONNEGUT
is a master of contrmporary American literature.  His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as "a true artist"* with Cat's Cradle in 1963.  He is, as Graham Green has declared, "one of the best living American writers."

SLAPSTICK
presents an apocalyptic vision seen through the eyes of the current King of Manhattan (and last President of the United States), a wickedly irreverent look at the all-too-possible results of today's follies.  But even the end of life-as-we-know-it is transformed by Vonnegut's pen into hilarious farce - a final slapstick that may be the Almighty's joke on us all.

A massive storm
that splits in two...
a splitting storm.
One part dies out.
The other grows stronger.

Special Agent Mick Kline courts danger.  When he isn't chasing criminals, he's chasing storms.  Then his brother is brutally murdered, and Mick is convinced that Aaron died at the hands of a serial killer.  Ignoring the counsel of friends, fellow agents, and police, he launches his own quest for the truth.

Years before and miles away, Faith Kemper survived an attack that claimed her husband's life - but it stole her sight and shattered her faith.  Now she's hiding, hoping to disappear in a tiny Texas town.  Then a knock on the door from an FBI agent investigating his brother's murder begins to unravel her safety net.

Faith's fear and Mick's thirst for revenge pit them against a faceless killer whose soul harbors a storm of its own.

Stone Cold
A Joe Pickett Novel

The electrifying new Joe Pickett novel from the New York Times bestselling author.

Everything about the man is a mystery: the massive ranch in the remote Black Hills of Wyoming that nobody ever visits, the women who live with him, the secret philanthropies, the private airstrip, the sudden disappearances.  And especially the persistent rumors that the man's wealth comes from killing people.

Joe Pickett, still officially a game warden but now mostly a troubleshooter for the governor, is assigned to find out what the truth is, but he discovers a lot more than he'd bargained for.  There are two other men living up at that ranch.  One is a stone-cold killer who takes an instant dislike to Joe.  The other is new - but Joe knows him all too well.  The first man doesn't frighten Joe.  The second is another story entirely.

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett investigates a mysterious death at a secret, remote high-tech facility in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author C. J. Box.

While tracking a wounded elk in the midst of an epic Rocky Mountain spring snowstorm, Joe Pickett makes a startling and gruesome discovery: the frozen and mutilated body of a man who has obviously trespassed on a private ranch and was killed near the location of a mysterious high-tech structure.  Joe also finds the man's vehicle on an isolated mountainside - the victim's ID indicates that he is a prominent University of Wyoming professor.  When Joe attempts to learn more, his investigation is obstructed by federal agents, extremists, and Governor Colter Allen.

Nate Romanowski is rebuilding his falconry company - and financing this through crypto mining with the assistance of Geronimo Jones.  Nate is then approached by a shadowy group of local militant activists that is gaining in power and influence, and demanding that Wyoming join other western states and secede from the union - by force, if necessary.  They ask Nate to throw in with them, but he's wary.  Should he trust them, or is he being set up?

As a storm of peril gathers around them, Joe and Nate confront it in different ways - and maybe, for the first time, on opposite sides.

C. J. BOX is the author of twenty-three Joe Pickett novels, eight stand-alone novels, and a story collection.  He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and two Barry awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38, the Western Heritage Award for Literature, and two Spur Awards.  An avid outdoorsman, Box has hunted, fished, hiked, ridden, and skied throughout Wyoming and the Mountain West.  He is an executive producer of ABC TV's Big Sky and Joe Pickett on Spectrum Originals and Paramount+, both of which are based on his novels.

A deadly storm of violence sweeps across the United States....

One month after the North Korean attack, the United States continues to fall into anarchy. In Estes Park, Colorado, Police Chief Marcus Colton and tracker Sam "Raven" Spears work tirelessly to defend their hometown. But after a brutal coordinated attack, they realize it will take much more than roadblocks and a volunteer militia to protect their borders and keep their families safe.

Defense Secretary Charlize Montgomery has been reunited with her son, but his homecoming is short-lived due to the state of the FEMA survival centers around the country. She heads to the one in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her loyal bodyguard, Albert Randall. Outside the camp's walls, the city has descended into chaos, and desperate civilians will do anything to get inside. When Albert stays behind to rescue his sister, he is caught in the middle of a turf war between rival gangs.

In this lawless new world where the most ruthless thrive while innocents suffer, Colton, Raven, and Charlize are faced with their toughest challenges yet. One thing is certain - they won't be able to save everyone. Not with their humanity still intact.

At the same time, Dallas Cates, whom Joe helped lock up years ago, is released from prison with a special list tattooed on his skin.  He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the six people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.

Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates sets out to methodically check off his list.  The problem is, both Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett are on it.

Uncle Tom's Cabin opens with a Kentucky farmer named Arthur Shelby facing the loss of his farm because of debts. Even though he and his wife, Emily Shelby, believe that they have a benevolent relationship with their slaves, Shelby decides to raise the needed funds by selling two of them - Uncle Tom, a middle-aged man with a wife and children, and Harry, the son of Emily Shelby's maid Eliza - to a slave trader. Emily Shelby hates the idea of doing this because she had promised her maid that her child would never be sold; Emily's son, George Shelby, hates to see Tom go because he sees the old man as his friend and mentor.

When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852, it became an international blockbuster, selling more than 300,000 copies in the United States alone in its first year. Progressive for her time, Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the earliest writers to offer a shockingly realistic depiction of slavery. Her stirring indictment and portrait of human dignity in the most inhumane circumstances enlightened hundreds of thousands of people by revealing the human costs of slavery, which had until then been cloaked and justified by the racist misperceptions of the time.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Millions of people have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face—who shows us that kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are. Read the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement, a major motion picture, and the critically acclaimed graphic novel White Bird.

And don't miss R.J. Palacio's highly anticipated new novel, Pony, available now!

I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.

August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Beginning from Auggie’s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope.

R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
