Orphan Star (1977) is a science fiction novel written by Alan Dean Foster. The book is Foster's eighteenth published book, his fifth original novel, and is chronologically the third entry in the Pip and Flinx series. Bloodhype (1973) was the second novel to include Pip and Flinx, but it is eleventh chronologically in the series and the two characters had a relatively small part in that novel's plot.
The Violin of Auschwitz is the unforgettable story of one man’s refusal to surrender his dignity in the face of history’s greatest atrocity. Written with lyrical simplicity and haunting beauty—and interspersed with chilling, actual Nazi documentation—The Violin of Auschwitz is more than just a novel: It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of beauty, art, and hope to triumph over the darkest adversity.
Lady Susan – Jane AustenLady Susan is an epistolary novel written by Jane Austen that was published in 1871 but was believed to have been completed by Austen sometime during 1794. The novel is written using diary entries, news clippings, letters etc. Lady Susan is unlike any other female protagonist that was created by Jane Austen as she is a very selfish and conniving woman. She is a married woman who is also trying to have a relationship with another man. Lady Susan not only walks a different path for a protagonist but as a fictional character she also managed to stay away from the principles of a romance novel making her a very interesting character to study.
