Will appears to have it all: a successful company, money, three homes, a beautiful wife and two kids with another on the way. But his comfortable life comes crashing down around him as his marriage collapses under the emotional weight of a neonatal death. Kicked out of the family home and left to his own devices in London, he slips into the salacious lifestyle of the wealthy Chelsea singleton looking for something more than simple companionship. Things get complicated when he meets Nazli, who is more than his equal in every way. At the same time, his wife is meting out her revenge in a bitter settlement and his company is struggling with new commercial challenges brought on by his impending divorce. Is this Will's 'Road to Damascus' moment, or will he simply submit to his own hedonistic tendencies? After all, what else does he have to lose? Love, loss, lust and betrayal - a toxic blend of emotions he will have to manage in this strange new world of half-truths and duplicity, where friendships are illusory and trust is such a precious commodity.

Book Description
“McCaffrey's world of the Talented is as vivid as that of Pern and its dragons.”—Publishers Weekly When a freak accident furnishes solid scientific proof of paranormal mental abilities, the world reacts with suspicion and fear. How can ordinary people coexist with a minority able to read minds, heal with a touch, peer into the future, or move objects with a thought? How can anyone with such power be trusted not to abuse it? Harsh repression seems the only answer Gifted with precognitive talent, Henry Darrow has other ideas, foreseeing a future in which the Talents are accepted for what they are and not what they can offer their fellow humans. But the road to that future will not be easy. Darrow and the powerful telepath Daffyd op Owen must win the public's trust while overcoming the threat of rogue Talents like Solange Boshe, a young girl so consumed with hatred that her thoughts can kill, and the singer known as Amalda, whose telepathic prowess can unite a thousand strangers in joyful harmony—or mold them into a bloodthirsty mob. . . .

Book Description
Most of the constellations, the patterns of stars found in the night sky, are connected with the ancient myths which people developed to give meaning to what they saw in the sky, based on the experience of their culture. The ideas of modern astronomy play a similar role for us today. They are stories which help us understand the phenomena we discover when we look deeper into the sky than is possible with eyes alone. In this book, the ancient sky stories and those of modern astronomy are woven together in a unique way. Coverage includes twenty-four important constellations as well as the sun and the moon and the sky as a whole. For each of these, one of the old stories is tied together with the astronomical understanding of a key feature in that part of the sky, allowing one story to serve as a reminder for the other.
