TWO PEOPLE. TWO GLOBAL SUPERPOWERS. ONE DATE WITH DESTINY. Set two strong characters on a collision course in a rapidly converging story, mix-in a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier on a week-long visit to an allied port, add local politicians, activists, and the media - and the ingredients are there for an epic edge-of-your-seat suspense-thriller with a climax and ending you won't see coming. 'The pilot raised her helmet visor, and his seething eyes locked in on hers. She shook her head from side to side and made a slashing motion across her throat...' Is Lieutenant Commander Katherine Marlowe about to make a catastrophic mistake? Is Ben Cai’s unthinkable mission destined to succeed? Their next sixty seconds will tell. Katherine Marlowe and Ben Cai were born on opposite sides of the world and have lived different yet parallel lives. Their destinies converge as simmering geopolitical tensions draw them together in a friendly harbour a long way from anywhere. Their actions will ultimately shake this place and reverberate across the world. CONVERGENCE ON THE 42ND PARALLEL is a thriller on an international scale—a tale of those who serve on the seas, in the skies, and in secret. It reveals the power-wielding few, the technologies of modern warfare at their fingertips, and those who spin their truth. It is also a story of humanity—of place and belonging, of family and relationships, and of personal sacrifice.

Italy’s greatest novel and a masterpiece of world literature, The Betrothed chronicles the unforgettable romance of Renzo and Lucia, who endure tyranny, war, famine, and plague to be together. Published in 1827 but set two centuries earlier, against the tumultuous backdrop of seventeenth-century Lombardy during the Thirty Years’ War, The Betrothed is the story of two peasant lovers who want nothing more than to marry. Their region of northern Italy is under Spanish occupation, and when the vicious Spaniard Don Rodrigo blocks their union in an attempt to take Lucia for himself, the couple must struggle to persevere against his plots—which include false charges against Renzo and the kidnapping of Lucia by a robber baron called the Unnamed—while beset by the hazards of war, bread riots, and a terrifying outbreak of bubonic plague. First and foremost a love story, the novel also weaves issues of faith, justice, power, and truth into a sweeping epic in the tradition of Ivanhoe, Les Misérables, and War and Peace. Groundbreakingly populist in its day and hugely influential to succeeding generations, Alessandro Manzoni’s masterwork has long been considered one of Italy’s national treasures.
