All in Scarlet Uniform
by Adrian GoldsworthyThe year is 1809, and the recruiting sergeants are hard at work, as the British army gathers strength for the next phase of the campaign against Bonaparte on the Spanish Peninsula. Captain Billy Pringle of the 106th Foot, however, has a somewhat more urgent reason to leave the country: having become embroiled in an ill-advised duel with a lieutenant in the 14th Light Dragoons, a posting to Spain would avoid any awkwardness for the regiment. Along with his friend Lieutenant Williams - whose sister Kitty was the cause of the duel - and the doughty veteran Sergeant Dobson, Pringle takes on the task of training Spanish troops to stand alongside their British allies. But what seems at first like easy duty soon turns into a desperate fight for survival as they find themselves besieged in the strategic fortress of Cuidad Rodrigo. For Bonaparte, taking the fortress will be the first step towards pushing the British back to the sea, and the task is entrusted to one of his most daring and successful generals, Marshal Ney. And Ney in his turn has found the perfect officer to lead the assault, a man not only desperate for advancement but also thirsting for revenge - a man whom Williams knows only too well.

All in a Day
by Alexis NicoleThe Maxson family reunion is a bi-annual tradition. The big, dysfunctional family gets together one weekend every other year outside of Macon, Georgia to celebrate how far their family has come. Usually it's the same ol' routine: family activities, the reunion barbecue, and the formal banquet at the end of the weekend. This year everything has been turned upside down. Trying to keep the same schedule, throwing in a wedding and an unexpected funeral all on the same day, is a recipe for disaster. The wedding of Morgan Willis is the buzz around the small town, because Morgan is the prodigal child. She was their pageant queen who moved overseas without looking back. Returning to deal with everyone from her hometown is the last thing Morgan wants to do. She doesn't need everyone in her business, and she isn't ready to face her unfinished situation with Henry, her high school sweetheart. She's also nervous about revealing the identity of the person she's going to marry. All she wants to do is escape from her family and return to her life in London. The death of Joe "Junebug" Maxson is a complete shock to everyone, only made worse by the fact that it happened mere days before the family reunion. His children, Joe Jr. and Janette, refuse to be upstaged by Morgan's wedding and insist on holding Junebug's funeral during the same weekend. When their father's death brings out a long-held family secret, the bonds of the Maxson family will surely be tested. This weekend promises to be a reunion the Maxson's will never forget.

All in the Timing: Fourteen Plays
by David IvesThe world according to David Ives is a very add place, and his plays constitute a virtual stress test of the English language -- and of the audience's capacity for disorientation and delight. Ives's characters plunge into black holes called "Philadelphias," where the simplest desires are hilariously thwarted. Chimps named Milton, Swift, and Kafka are locked in a room and made to re-create Hamlet. And a con man peddles courses in a dubious language in which "hello" translates as "velcro" and "fraud" comes out as "freud."At once enchanting and perplexing, incisively intelligent and side-splittingly funny, this original paperback edition of Ives's plays includes "Sure Thing," "Words, Words, Words," "The Universal Language," "Variations on the Death of Trotsky," "The Philadelphia," "Long Ago and Far Away," "Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue," "Seven Menus," "Mere Mortals," "English Made Simple," "A Singular Kinda Guy," "Speed-the-Play," "Ancient History," and "Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread."
All in, Sinatra (Premio Mauricio Achar / Literatura Random House #Volumen 20)
by Pedro ZavalaAll in, Sinatra es un minucioso vértigo narrativo, una máquina de sentido en medio del desierto de burocracia. Un estallido. Génesis Montesinos es profesor de literatura en una universidad mexicana. Tiene 64 años de edad, es especialista en Francis Scott Fitzgerald y aficionado a Frank Sinatra. Ha dedicado su vida adulta al culto a los libros y a la corte de la academia. Su plan de carrera se ha cumplido: tiene un doctorado y un cubículo. También, un hastío absoluto. Por ello, decide viajar a Las Vegas y apostarlo todo. Y terminar con su insípida vida. No obstante, jugando al póquer, Génesis Montesinos gana cincuenta y tres mil dólares. Sin saber qué hacer con esta pequeña fortuna, comienza a despilfarrarla en blandos excesos: ropa, discos, alcohol, una sesión en un campo de tiro, un teléfono inteligente, pancakes y tocino. Calorías para el alma. Sus planes de suicidio se van desdibujando. Además, conoce a Lea, y él mismo empieza a sentirse borroso y vivo. Sin embargo, sobre las mesas de póquer de Las Vegas se juega mucho más que sumas millonarias. Los dueños del mundo apuestan vidas y cierran negocios transnacionales. Y el azar, o el destino, pondrá al profesor de literatura en el corazón de estas tinieblas. Así, en la tierra de los libres, podrá perder la libertad más alta: la posibilidad de elegir el momento y modo de su propia muerte.

All is Fair: The Split Worlds - Book Three (The Split Worlds #3)
by Emma Newman“Emma Newman has built a modern fantasy world with such élan and authority her ideas of why and how the seemingly irrational world of Fairy works should be stolen by every other writer in the field.”—Bill Willingham, Eisner Award-winning creator of FABLES “With a feather-light touch, Emma Newman has crafted a very English fantasy, one brilliantly realised and quite delightful, weaving magic, mystery and parallel worlds together with ease.”—Adam Christopher, author of MADE TO KILL “Put as simply as I can manage, this book is wonderful, whether I’m judging it on its own merits or as the capstone to a fantastic trilogy. Everything is bigger, better, more spectacular – just as you’d expect from Book Three in any trilogy – but at the same time the character development that I’d hoped for is given, and it’s given incredibly well. ”—OVER THE EFFING RAINBOW “There’s lots of action in this one, but there’s still all of the court intrigue and wonderful characterization that I’ve come to expect from the series, and a few very important threads are wrapped up. Don’t worry, though, the ending leaves plenty of hints of things to come, and I can’t wait.”—MY BOOKISH WAYS
