NOTE: Thickness of the book may require extra postage charges before shipping.From the back: I long for the days before the Last Desolation. Before the Heralds abandoned us and the Knights Radiant turned against us. When there was still magic in Roshar and honor in the hearts of men. In the end, not war but victory proved to be the greater test. Did our foes see that the harder they fought, the fiercer our resistance? Fire and hammer forge a sword; time and neglect rust it away. So we won the world, yet lost it. There are four whom we watch: the surgeon, forced to forsake healing and fight in the most brutal war of our time; the assassin, who weeps as he kills; the liar, who wears her scholar's mantle over a thief's heart; and the prince, whose eyes open to the ancient past as his thirst for battle wanes. One of them may redeem us. One of them will destroy us. From Brandon Sanderson—the author completing… Read More

From the back cover:
Directly ahead of us a wall of rock and mud blocked half the road. Where the other half should have been was nothing—black, yawning nothing... After their car plunges down a steep cliff into Suicide Gulch, five students try to survive in the bleak British Columbia mountains until one of them can climb back up the cliff to get help. For shy Karen the days in the bush seem like years. Shelley, Karen's "big sister" friend, is badly injured and needs help herself. Stanley can't seem to knock off his clown act, even in an emergency. And Dave doesn't seem to notice that Karen's around. Then there's Ward, who looks as if he could be triggered into one of his black rages by anything at all. Suddenly it's Karen who has to handle everybody else's problems ... but who is there to care about her?

"Nearly four decades after its release, "The Wild Child" remains startling for its humane clarity, for Nestor Almendros's brilliant black-and-white photography, and for the sense that Truffaut is achieving filmmaking mastery on a very small scale." —Ty Burr From the rear: "....The extraordinary quality of this film comes from its restraint, its pathetic simplicity.... A picture of indescribable purity which places Truffaut among the biggest idealists.... A gust of human kindness which restores hope." —Combat (Paris) "Perhaps it is simplistic to draw easy parallels between Victor and our own kids who yearn… Read More
