Such is Barney's fate that, just as he arrives in the capital, a serial killer begins to run amok among the young, go-getting executives of Bethlehem's company. Suddenly, but entirely predictably, Barney once again finds himself in the middle of a multiple murder investigation. As Satan returns to haunt Barney and to steer him down his final, inevitable path, could it be that Bethlehem's latest client -- a wise-cracking New Englander with an easy smile and a handy ability with a thunderbolt -- is the man to provide the deliverance that has eluded Barney Thomson for so long?

The Final Cut
by Robert Westbrook"THE CUTTERS' CODE 1. IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR A CUTTER TO HAVE A ZOE IMPLANT. 2. IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR A CUTTER TO SELL OR GIVE AWAY ZOE FOOTAGE TO OUTSIDE PARTIES. 3. IT IS FORBIDDEN TO MIX FOOTAGE' FROM TWO DIFFERENT ZOE IMPLANTS OR TO CREATE NEW FOOTAGE WITH THE AID OF COMPUTERS." Alan Hackman is a "cutter" who must follow this code. Zoe implants are placed in the brains of fetuses in the womb and record their memories from birth to death. Cutters shape these recordings into appropriate films to use at "rememories" which have taken the place of memorial services. Of course, all unpleasant or embarrassing memories are to be erased. But it is important that a cutter not have a Zoe implant for obvious reasons. People with implants should be informed of this when they reach adulthood, but sometimes there's a slip.... This book, adapted from the movie starring Robin Williams, discusses the many decisions and uncertainties in Alan's life. While sorting through the memories of strangers, he is plagued by his own clouded memory from his boyhood, a guilty secret that haunts him. Then, while cutting the recording of a wealthy, powerful, and corrupt man, he sees a face from his own past and becomes obsessed with finding the answer that will set him free at last. This novel is fun to read and, if you have watched the film without the aid of a narrator, it clears up some questions. It also is a good jumping-off point for some interesting ethical discussion. Would you want your memories to be recorded and seen by others? How would knowing this was happening affect the way you lived your life? Is it better to remember someone through his own memories or through yours? Enjoy.

The Final Day (John Matherson Series #3)
by William R. ForstchenA major release in the New York Times bestselling One Second After series, set in an alternate America rebuilding after an electromagnetic pulse, this is William R. Forstchen's The Final Day. Since the detonation of nuclear weapons above the United States more than two years ago, the small town of Black Mountain, North Carolina has suffered famine, civil war, and countless deaths. Now, after defeating a new, tyrannical federal government, John Matherson and his community intend to restore their world to what it was before the EMP apocalypse. For the most part, they are succeeding. This period of relative stability doesn’t last long. A new, aggressive government announces that it’s taking over and ceding large portions of the country to China and Mexico. The Constitution is no longer in effect, and what’s left of the U. S. Army has been deployed to suppress rebellion in the remaining states. John fears he and his town will be targets. General Bob Scales, John’s old commanding officer and closest friend from prewar days, is sent to bring John into line. Will John and his people accept the new, autocratic regime? Or will revolution rip the fledgling nation apart at the seams? Months before publication, William R. Forstchen’s novel One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read. This third book in the series immerses readers once more in the story of our nation’s struggle to rebuild itself after an electromagnetic pulse wipes out all electricity and plunges the country into darkness, starvation, and death.

The Final Empire (Mistborn Series #1)
by Brandon SandersonWhat if the hero of prophecy fails? What kind of world results when the Dark Lord is in charge? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises and magical martial-arts action that begins in "Mistborn," For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark. Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot. But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed.
