Luke Cage plays detective and super hero when he uncovers a conspiracy turning vulnerable Americans into unwitting pawns of a madman.

New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby (King of Ashes) writes an original crime novel starring Harlem's unbreakable hero for the Marvel Crime thriller series for adult readers.

With advanced cybernetics showing up in the possession of low-level criminals, Luke Cage is hired to investigate a factory manufacturing medical devices in rural Virginia. Leaving Jessica Jones during a delicate moment in their relationship, he makes plans to travel south but is devastated to learn that a cousin who scoped out the plant for him has been found dead. The police report states it was an accident. But Luke has long known that official words are just that: words.

Fueled by guilt and vengeance, Luke arrives in Virginia and promises his aunt he'll get to the bottom of things. But danger lurks in every living room, barroom, and country road of Majestic, and the local sheriff's barely concealed prejudices are ready to boil to the surface. Even ordinary people seem to have no qualms about testing their might against the hero from New York City.

As Luke uncovers a conspiracy reaching to the county line and beyond, an persistent evil begins to take hold of the town, leaving Luke to hope that his unbreakable skin will protect him long enough to protect others and bring an end to the hate threatening to engulf the nation.

Truth to Power continues the Marvel Crime series that began with Lisa Jewell's Breaking the Dark and Alex Segura's Enemy of My Enemy. Bringing fans into a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe, Marvel Crime novels build on one another but can be enjoyed as stand-alone reads and will thrill even those new to the Marvel Universe.

Before Ghost in the Shell came Appleseed--Shirow Masamune's visionary science fiction manga series, now available in Dark Horse's acclaimed deluxe hardcover format, featuring wrap around cover art, full color end sheets, ribbon bookmark and gilded edges!

The year is 2127. In the aftermath of a devastating global war, Deunan and Briareos are just the kind of couple you'd find managing to survive--she's a former SWAT team member, he's a cyborg former mercenary. Both of them are found in the ruins by Hitomi, a young woman who recruits them to work for Olympus, an ultra-advanced, experimental city-state that survived the apocalypse.

It's an oasis of peace that now seeks to step outside its protected zone to try to reconstruct the world...but to do so, its philosophers, planners, and scientists will need the support of people who know how to fight. Olympus can offer them a new, safe home--and the chance to use the most advanced weapons tech on earth, including the powered combat armor known as the Landmate.

And so Deunan and Briareos are drawn into the paradoxes and power struggles of Olympus: their new job, to serve and protect the people of a city whose secrets they know little about. Protect them both from outsiders, and from themselves--for while Deunan and Briareos may believe enough in Olympus to put their lives on the line for it, they're far too smart to be satisfied being anyone's mere pawns, even in the most noble cause...

Features:

• Wraparound six-color cover art, printed on silver foil to express the future aesthetic

• Four-color end sheets
• Sewn-in bookmark
• Color metallic edge gilding on pages.

The Nantucket Christmas Stroll is the most wonderful time of year on the island, filled with holiday cheer and festive decorations. Excited holidaymakers crowd the streets, Santa arrives on a Coast Guard boat, carolers serenade with classic Christmas carols, and shop windows glitter with treasures, twinkling lights, and merry displays.

At the heart of this celebration is the Parsons family and the sparkling house party they host each year. Brick Parsons and his wife, Jane, eagerly anticipate the arrival of their three adult children, Lydia, Florence, and Lucas, who are all coming home for the holidays.

Lydia, a successful hospitality professional, is torn between her career in New York and her new relationship with her uber-wealthy cosmopolitan boyfriend. Florie, the ambitious middle child, is madly in love with a handsome poet who wants her to move to his hometown in Wisconsin. Lucas, the golden boy, has decided to switch his career path, and is fearful of his father's reaction.

Together, the family celebrates the Stroll, reuniting with old friends and lovers on the tree-lit Main Street. But the holiday cheer is soon overshadowed by the stress of the season as secrets are revealed and emotions run high.

Champagne flows and Christmas-themed canapes are enjoyed as the Parsons family come together on the night of the party, proving that family and the power of love can make any season bright.

The Porch sisters are going on a trip--this time, to the beautiful almost-French city of ParisToo.

Between baguettes, berets, and one very big bug--what could go wrong?

It's up to Gertrude, Eugenia, Dee-Dee, and their dear mentor Millicent Quibb, to stop those nefarious mad scientists from taking over the world.

If Millicent Quibb and the sisters Porch are going to defeat the KRA once and for all, they'll need to uncover long buried secrets (including some that might just change everything...) and tap into the world of mad science like they never have before.

At any and all costs, the KRA MUST! BE! STOPPED!

From award-winning and New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Grace Lin comes a gorgeous picture book about a community coming together to build something beautiful.

When a small stone Buddha falls off a cyclist's wagon, he lands in a neglected part of a busy city street. People often throw trash here, turning this part of the city into a rather unpleasant sight. But as passersby begin to notice the little stone Buddha, they start to wonder: what if we each made a small change that brightened this shared part of our community?

Inspired by a true story, The Little Stone Buddha shows us how a small action--or, in this case, a small Buddha--can change a moment, which can change a decision, which can change the spirit, which can, in the end, change everything.

The story of the life and music of a pop superstar and a kaleidoscopic window into fame, homophobia, the 80s and 90s, creative genius, and addiction, revealing why the love for George Michael has only grown in the years since his tragic death on Christmas Day 2016.

There is no shortage of earnest books about the cultural significance of musicians like David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon. But George Michael does not attract such attention. The music he produced is not generally deemed worthy of serious analysis, the man considered more noteworthy as a celebrity than a cultural figure. Yet such dismissals overlook how Michael's life and work broke extraordinary boundaries and, in so doing, helped define an era.

A second generation immigrant and child of a Greek-Cypriot restaurateur, Michael could barely read music, and was not trained on any instrument, yet would compose hit songs in a single afternoon and play nearly every instrument on recordings that have reached totemic status. He had the rare ability to master both rock and R&B; and was, following Freddie Mercury's death, seriously considered as a replacement frontman for Queen.

For many he became a symbol of eighties excess, played benefit gigs for miners and nurses, and was a prolific secret philanthropist. He had massive pop hits sometimes without any promotion at all, even after launching one of the most aggressive court cases against a record company in pop history. He was a teen crush for millions of girls, and stayed in the closet due to intense homophobia from his father and the media, but then became an impassioned campaigner for gay rights. A large part of his audience was suburban, middle-aged, female, and white, yet some of his most famous tunes were essentially R&B pop songs about casual sex in the city. He was wildly popular, at times ridiculed in the press, and fêted by some of the toughest critics, often simultaneously.

A deeply personal engagement with the life and music of George Michael, Sathnam Sanghera's groundbreaking Tonight the Music Seems So Loud offers a colorful, insightful story on immigration, homophobia, and fame; the glorious eras of the 80s and 90s; creative and musical genius; the tabloids; addiction; obsessive fans; and why the love for George Michael has only grown in the years since his untimely death.

This nonfiction picture book for young readers ages 7-10 reveals the true story of General George Washington's brave decision to inoculate his troops against smallpox during the American Revolution.

1775

General George Washington and his ragtag army are preparing to battle the powerful British military when the first attack comes-- from an enemy that is invisible and deadly--smallpox!

The disease wreaks havoc on his troops, foils his plans, and threatens to extinguish hope for independence. Desperate to get smallpox under control, Washington faces an agonizing decision--one that could either destroy his army or save it. He knew what he had to do, but how? The fate of a nation was on the line. Here is a new look at a founding father that uniquely shows why vaccines remain important today.

In this thrilling sequel to The Mask of Fear, set one year before season one of Andor, truth becomes a weapon of the Empire.

Over a decade into the Empire's reign, life under Imperial rule has become routine. The days of the Republic have long passed into memory--if they are remembered at all.

Within the Senate, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa face dwindling influence, for there is no difference between the will of the Emperor and the direction of his Empire. Bail increasingly shifts his focus to support clandestine resistance efforts, knowing a successful fight against the Empire will come from beyond the halls of power. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma sees one chance to take a stand when she makes a horrifying discovery about the lengths the regime will go to weaponize truth and loyalty. The Empire's newest target: the next generation raised under the Emperor's ever deepening shadow, including Mon and Bail's daughters.

Across the galaxy, disparate rebel factions are rendered outcasts, branded criminals, and pitted against each other. On Ghorman, an idealistic student group seeks to make meaningful change, unaware of the ISB agent who seeks to sabotage them from the inside. Leaders like Saw Gerrera and Anto Kreegyr squabble and bargain to survive one more day against the crush of Imperial might. Trust is rare and betrayal quick. A distracted, disorganized resistance is one that is easy to snuff out. There are few heroes . . . and no alliances.

When one of Gerrera's partisans is captured by the Empire, time is running out for senators, outcasts, spies, and all those that desire a better tomorrow. What the prisoner knows could help the Empire eradicate any whisper of resistance, end any rebellion before it can truly begin--and ensure that the Empire's truth is all the galaxy will ever know.
