Bruno Latour has written a unique and wonderful tale of a technological dream gone wrong. The story of the birth and death of Aramis—the guided-transportation system intended for Paris—is told in this thought-provoking and fictional account by several different parties: an engineer and his professor; company executives and elected officials; a sociologist; and finally Aramis itself, who delivers a passionate plea on behalf of technological innovations that risk being abandoned by their makers. As the young engineer and professor follow Aramis’s trail—conducting interviews, analyzing documents, assessing the evidence—perspectives keep shifting: the truth is revealed as multilayered, unascertainable, comprising an array of possibilities worthy of Rashomon. This charming and profound book, part novel and part sociological study, is Latour at his thought-provoking best.
Judas Iscariot, arguably the most hated man in history. Do we look at him honestly? Do we obey all of God's commands regarding loving our enemies? Was he chosen to betray the Son of God? Aramis Thorn gives us a different view of Judas, still respecting who Jesus and Judas are in a world needing redemption. Why did the Zealot hand the Messiah over to the Priests? Perhaps there is more to it than greed and dissatisfaction. Perhaps there is a story worth hearing from the perspective of this man chosen by God to follow him.
When Henri IV of Navarre ratified the Edict of Nantes in 1598, many Catholics and Huguenots (French Protestants) alike questioned its content and what it meant to them. Then when Louis XIII rescinded the edict and caused an outcry from the Huguenot, it was decided that Aramis would don a disguise and try to infiltrate their ranks to see if they had an ulterior motive behind the fortifying of Montauban and La Rochelle. Discovered as being a royal musketeer, Aramis is abducted. With the intent of using him as bargaining chip, his captors don’t realize just how valuable he is to his companions, Porthos and Athos, who are right behind them to recover him, not to mention his importance to the crown and their own captain, Captain De Treville.

An addictive fantasy romance from TikTok sensation Piper CJ, now newly revised and edited. Two orphans grow into powerful young women as they face countless threats to find their way back to each other. Farleigh is just an orphanage. At least, that's what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.
