Gone Tomorrow by Child, Lee Jack Reacher is back. It's 2:00 a.m. on a New York City subway, and something is not quite right, as Jack spots a passenger who might not be what she seems. In his most intensely gripping novel yet, Lee Child takes us on the ride of a lifetime through the dark warrens of NYC.--Jennie Turner-Collins, Joseph-Beth Booksellers (Cincinnati, OH)

Omega: The Unknown by Lethem, Jonathan, Rusnack, Karl, Dalrymple, Farel In 2007, novelist Jonathan Lethem was approached by Marvel Comics to do a limited series. When asked which character he would like to work with, Lethem replied, “Omega the Unknown”. Marvel’s editors responded, without irony, “Who…?” Omega the Unknown, created by Steve Gerber, Mary Skrenes, and Jim Mooney, originally ran for only ten issues between the years 1976-1977. Despite the comic’s short run, however, the character remained a something of a cult favorite to a certain few, due to the oddities of the plot and the quirkiness of the writing. Jonathan Lethem was one of those certain few who found himself unusually moved by the strange relationship between a nerdy adolescent and a mysterious, alien superhero. Lethem and Dalrymple’s Omega... is a loving tribute to the original, and it is also truly, genuinely, strange. It lives in mystery and has the kind of subterranean logic of a surrealist painting. Dovetailing thematically with Lethem’s other work, Omega the Unknown is a haunting portrait of isolation in a big, quirky, colorful, modern world.
