Book Description
The Jukebox Queen of Malta is an exquisite and enchanting novel of love and war set on an island perilously balanced between what is real and what is not. It's 1942 and Rocco Raven, an intrepid auto mechanic turned corporal from Brooklyn, has arrived in Malta, a Mediterranean island of Neolithic caves, Copper Age temples, and fortresses. The island is under siege, full of smoke and rubble, caught in the magnesium glare of German and Italian bombs. But nothing is as it seems on Malta. Rocco's living quarters are a brothel; his commanding officer has a genius for turning the war's misfortunes into personal profit; and the Maltese people, astonishingly, testify to the resiliency of the human spirit. When Rocco meets the beautiful and ethereal Melita, who delivers the jukeboxes her cousin builds out of shattered debris, they are drawn to each other by an immediate passion. And, it is their full-blown affair that at once liberates and imprisons Rocco on the island. In this mesmerizing novel, music and bombs, war and romance, the jukebox and the gun exist in arresting counterpoint in a story that is a profound and deeply moving exploration of the redemptive powers of love.

Book Description
The Hunters trilogy consists of the first three books in the award-winning Hunters series: THE HUNTERS, THE FORBIDDEN TOMB, and THE PRISONER'S GOLD. Every book in the series has hit #1 on Amazon. THE HUNTERS has been optioned for a major motion picture, and THE PRISONER'S GOLD won the ITW Thriller Award for Book of the Year. The first book in the series (THE HUNTERS) features a diverse cast of characters. Financed by a mysterious philanthropist, this elite team -- a soldier (Jack Cobb), an historian (Jasmine Park), a computer whiz (Hector Garcia), a weapons expert (Josh McNutt), and a thief (Sarah Ellis) -- was asked to locate a Romanian train filled with riches that disappeared in Russia during World War I. The collection is now valued at over $3.5 billion. Despite several attempts to find it, its location has remained a mystery…until now. The second book was called THE FORBIDDEN TOMB, and it was released in 2014. Tasked with finding the legendary tomb of Alexander the Great and the extraordinary riches that were rumored to be buried with him, the Hunters encountered hostile forces that would do anything to stop them. Before long, the treasure hunt became a deadly rescue mission with hundreds dead and a city in ruins. As the death toll continued to mount, the team was forced to rise to the challenge to find the ultimate prize. The third book in the series was called THE PRISONER'S GOLD, and it was released in 2015. At the end of the 13th century, Chinese Emperor Kublai Khan gave an Italian merchant unfettered access to his kingdom. The traveler was Marco Polo, and his journey would become legendary. Aided by a special passport that protected him throughout the land, Polo amassed unbelievable wealth and hid it before his return to Italy. Guided by firsthand accounts of Polo's travels, the Hunters quickly discovered there was a criminal empire willing to do anything to stop them from taking the riches from Chinese soil. Praise for Chris Kuzneski and THE HUNTERS series: James Patterson, #1 national bestselling author—“Chris Kuzneski’s writing has the same raw power as the early Stephen King.” Clive Cussler, #1 national bestselling author—“Chris Kuzneski writes as forcefully as his tough characters act.” Nelson DeMille, #1 national bestselling author—“Chris Kuzneski is a remarkable writer, who completely understands what makes for a good story: action, sex, suspense, humor, and great characters.” Vince Flynn, #1 national bestselling author—“Chris Kuzneski is a master in the making.” James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author—“Chris Kuzneski writes with an energy that is contagious! Action, suspense, mystery, and a biting thread of humor.... What more can you ask from a novel?” Steve Berry, #1 international bestselling author—“Kuzneski does it again with another terrific tale, filled with action and suspense, bringing the unimaginable to life. Definitely my kind of story!” Scott Mariani, #1 international bestselling author—“THE HUNTERS kicks off a brilliant new series from Chris Kuzneski. Adventure, history, mystery, and more—everything you’d want in a thriller!” The Daily Mail (UK)—“THE HUNTERS is taut and fierce—with a cast of agreeably idiosyncratic characters. It feels like the draft of a movie, and it could just be Kuzneski’s breakthrough novel. It deserves to be.” Herald Sun (Australia)—“THE HUNTERS is Mission: Impossible on steroids. The first in a new series, Kuzneski brings together a super-expert crew of renegades to track down a lost treasure, sent into hiding in 1916 and never seen again. . . It’s all about the action, which never stops. Half the fun is imagining the all-star cast for the movie that was clearly in Kuzneski’s mind. Final verdict: Thrill Ride.”

Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy “Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R.

[Hobb’s] plotting is complex but tightly controlled, and her descriptive powers match her excellent visual imagination. But her chief virtue is that she delineates character extremely well.”—Interzone
