The Moorish Trilogy, Part One is the fictitious tale of Othello’s journeys and adventures before he was fatally impaled by the quill of Shakespeare. Captain Belgae Hawkins, spawn of Vikings, is a tormented soul, secretly battling with his past, warring in his sleep, and spitting at his demons. In his waking reality, his ragtag army dangles on the cusp of a wave of invasion by Othello’s legions of ruthless warriors, man-eating predators, and an elephant brigade. Each time Hawkins mounts a resistance, his men are overrun, retreating further and further west from Egypt, via Alexandria, Libya, Tripoli, Carthage, and then across the channel to Granada in Spain. Battling storms, floods, and plagues, the warring factors form new relationships, new allies, and new enemies. Life, love, loss, loyalty, friendship, and betrayal flourish. When Will loses his wife Emma Lynn to the plague, Hawkins joins Will on a psychological journey through a long cycle of depressive episodes, until he reaches acceptance. Narrated from Hawkins’ point-of-view, the reader never knows what will happen next in this high-speed, epic roller coaster adventure. Othello has fascinated generation after generation throughout the world for more than 400 years. In this age of sequel and prequel, Othello’s journeys and adventures are limited only by the boundaries of the sliver of his existence on Shakespeare’s stage. Enter The Moorish Trilogy.

A gritty, lively, and revelatory look inside the crucial and volatile nation of Pakistan In To Live or to Perish Forever, Nicholas Schmidle takes readers to Pakistan's rioting streets, to Taliban camps in the North-West Frontier Province, and on many surprising adventures as he provides a contemporary history of this country long riven by internal conflict. With the intimacy and good humor available only to the most fearless and open-eyed reporters, Schmidle narrates what was arguably the most turbulent period of Pakistan's recent history, a time when President Pervez Musharraf lost his power and the Taliban found theirs, and when Americans began to realize that Pakistan's fate is inextricably linked with our own. In February 2006 Schmidle had traveled to Pakistan hoping to learn about the place dubbed "the most dangerous country in the world." It was while there that he befriended a radical cleric (who became an enemy of the state and was killed), came to crave the smell of tear gas (because it assured him that he was sufficiently close to the action), and in the end, was deported by the Pakistani authorities, managed to get back into the country, and was chased out a second time.

Lost Generations is a tragicomic, at times hilarious, saga of a well-off Sikh family forced out of Rawalpindi during the partition of Punjab in 1947. The story follows the family's struggles and partial rehabilitation as they settle in Delhi, attempting to keep up the appearances of their affluent past and preserve their old mores. Around them, however, the world is disintegrating, and eventually, they face death, destitution and an uncertain future once again in 1984. Lost Generations is a story of misogyny, sexism, racism, intolerance, corruption, exploitation, and materialism all innate to Indian society.

Book 1 in Ved Mehta's Continents of Exile series. Nearly 50 years in the making, Continents of Exile is one of the great works of twentieth-century autobiography: the epic chronicle of an Indian family in the twentieth century. From 1930s India to 1950s Oxford and literary New York in the 1960s-80s, this is the story of the post-colonial twentieth century, as uniquely experienced and vividly recounted by Ved Mehta. On its surface, Daddyji serves as a lucid biographical portrait of Amolak Ram Mehta, an esteemed Indian public servant, written by his son. But as Ved Mehta's story unwinds, it becomes apparent that something else is being recreated - the intricacies and intimacies of a lost world, of pre-Partition Lahore.
