In this "raucous, moving, and necessary" story by a Pulitzer Prize finalist (San Francisco Chronicle), the De La Cruzes, a family on the Mexican-American border, celebrate two of their most beloved relatives during a joyous and bittersweet weekend. "All we do, mija, is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it. Not borders. Not death." In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. Among the guests is Big Angel's half brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life. Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighborhood, the revelers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspiring tales that have passed into family lore, the acts both ordinary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home. Teeming with brilliance and humor, authentic at every turn, The House of Broken Angels is Luis Alberto Urrea at his best, and cements his reputation as a storyteller of the first rank. "Epic . . .

1 Not for the faint of heart! Jump on for a wild and nonstop ride with Angel and his team of warriors as they grapple with the impossibility of survival on a ravaged planet. The result of a bionuclear Armageddon, the earth is forever ruined. A world where the weak long for death, the mighty dispense it. A world where the earth itself rebels to exterminate the parasite that is humanity. A world where those unfortunate enough to survive find themselves in a barren, toxic nightmare where death comes in grotesque form and living has lost all appeal. Angel Martin, the herculean warrior known as the Angel of Death for his exceptional body count during WWIII, invites you to become a spectator in a ringside seat where you will delight in all the action up close and personal. Watch out because when this madman goes on a rampage, blood, brains, and body parts explode! Together with his team of commandos, they must combat massive mutated monsters and demons from another dimension amid the collapse of a decaying civilization. The masses are dying, as well as those of Angel's family, from a mysterious disease brought on by the corrosive fulmination. However, when a beautiful escapee is rescued from an abusive military contingent, she reveals that her captured father is a bionuclear engineer who may hold a cure. In order to find and free the scientist, the team must negotiate with undesirables in barter towns, decimate well-equipped sex traffickers, battle mercenary militias, and clash with heavily armed slave barons. In order to accomplish this mission, Angel leads his teammates through a malicious environment rife with giant monstrosities, ghoul-infested cities, and nuclear wasteland in order to battle rogue military forces, cutthroats, and sinister organizations. They must infiltrate the ranks of warring factions and survivalist coalitions while constantly seeking arms and bartering for provisions vital to continuing their quest.

In One Years Time, by Melissa Robitille, begins with Elizabeths death. But no ordinary death this! Elizabeth, she is told by her flamboyant guardian angel Dickon, is to be given a second chance at life, but in 1808! How is a modern girl to manage that, never mind the condition of her second chance? She has to find someone who needs her within just one year. By her introduction to her grandfather, Elizabeth might be off to a good start, but nothing ever goes quite that smoothly for Elizabeth. She meets, and falls in love with, a most independent and stubborn man. Duncan Blackstone is a fine figure of a man, indeed, but has the stubborn nature of a mule to go along with his handsome face. Both Elizabeth and Duncan must first deal with their own hearts and issues before they can admit that they need each other. Elizabeth, after an unspeakable childhood, has problems believing even that Duncan loves her. She doesnt like herself, and doesnt see any particular reason for anyone else to do so. Duncan has his wifes death on his conscience, and quite honestly feels like somewhat of a dirty old man for falling in love with such a young girl. Beyond that, as any man will, he has quite convinced himself that he doesnt need anyone now, nor will he ever. These central figures have help from all sides. Dickon, Elizabeths guardian angel, is waiting for his own second chance with Millicent - Duncans guardian angel. The pair of angels will do all in their power - and even cheat once in a while! - to ensure that Duncan and Elizabeth reach the point of needing each other, but will it be enough? Ian, Elizabeths grandfather is a lonely man, overjoyed to have family again, but even he falls in love - with the dressmaker! Sofie, a widow, is quite set in her belief that Duncan and Elizabeth should be a pair, and that very match making tendency throws her into cahoots with Ian, and love soon ensues. A cast of memorable characters toss Duncan and Elizabeth together, but their own insecurities pull them apart again and again. It seems like nothing can help this pair.
