The Goat
Roger L. Simon - 2019
Everest? And just who is Jay Reynolds - the mysterious twenty-year-old tennis prodigy who appears out of nowhere to battle Rafael Nadal at the French Open and Roger Federer at Wimbledon and become the new hope of American tennis, possibly "the greatest of all time"? Award-winning mystery writer (Moses Wine series) and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter ("Enemies, A Love Story," "The Big Fix". "Bustin' Loose,"), Roger L. Simon answers these questions and more in THE GOAT, his first standalone novel in years. If you love sports, if you love life, if you'd like a second life, this book - funny, touching and sometimes scary, already talked about as the greatest novel about tennis ever written - is a page-turning, can't-put-down must. Called the greatest mystery writer of his generation by Ross Macdonald (Lew Archer) and Nicholas Meyer ("The Seven Percent Solution") Roger L. Simon has won or been nominated for multiple awards for his fiction by the Crime Writers of Great Britain and the Mystery Writers of America. As a screenwriter, he has received an Oscar nomination for his adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer's "Enemies, A Love Story" and written for such stars as Richard Pryor, Richard Dreyfuss and Angelica Huston. Also a journalist and columnist, Simon has written for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Real Clear Politics, PJMedia, and City Journal, among many others. He appears frequently as a commentator on talk radio and cable TV. What others have said about Roger L. Simon's work: "The writing, as always in Moses Wine books, is sharp, amusing, and sophisticated." New York Times Book Review "Simon’s new novel about Moses Wine tops his prize-winning The Big Fix and The Straight Man." Publisher's Weekly "Roger Simon writes with humor and real energy. Nobody around is better at caricature." San Jose Mercury News "... he can be genuinely funny and, at times, even sensitive and touching." Washington Post Book World "Simon is a brilliant, classy writer..." Cosmopolitan

The Demons of Paris
Eric Flint - 2018
Demons, imps, and spirits, evil and benign, spill into the universe from the netherworld. In Paris, a series of grisly murders that couldn't possibly be performed by a human, no matter how depraved, leads the Grand Chatelet and his men to try and raise a demon of their own to learn how to combat the creature that is terrorizing the city. Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—the demon who is summoned brings with him a van from the Paris of the twenty-first century. The van contains a modern day drama teacher, her son, and eight precocious high school students—along with all of their electronic devices. Soon, their laptops, tablets and cell-phones become possessed by imps and spirits of the netherworld, some of whom are brilliant and all of whom are insatiably curious. Soon it's a race to see which pack of outsiders can create the most turmoil in the late Middle Ages—monstrous demons or precocious teenagers who soon have their own allies and followers among the ranks of demonkind. And King Charles V had already been in trouble! Piled onto his own poor health, a suspicious and contentious church, France's always-quarrelsome nobility—worst of all, his unscrupulous and ambitious brother, Philip the Bold—the king now has both demons and people from the future to contend with. He does have one asset—and not a small one. He can place his trusted Constable of France, Bertrand du Guesclin, in charge of the rambunctious teenagers from the future and their ever-growing legion of demons. And Bertrand has a great asset of his own—his wife Tiphaine de Raguenel, perhaps the best astrologer in all of France and, for sure and certain, not a woman to take seriously the prattling nonsense of youngsters skeptical of her lore and knowledge.
