The Archer
From the #1 best-selling author of The Alchemist comes an inspiring story about a young man seeking wisdom from an elder, and the practical lessons imparted along the way. Includes stunning illustrations by Christoph Niemann. 'A novelist who writes in a universal language.' --The New York Times In The Archer we meet Tetsuya, a man once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the boy who comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya illustrates the way of the bow and the tenets of a meaningful life. Paulo Coelho's story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfill, that a life constricted by fear of rejection or failure is not a life worth living. Instead one must take risks, build courage, and embrace the unexpected journey fate has to offer. With the wisdom, generosity, simplicity, and grace that have made him an international best seller, Paulo Coelho

Belgrade Archer
'A masterclass in spy fiction.' A mind virus that could actually happen... In this second book in the Pierce Reston series, Pierce and Kelly unite to unravel a sinister plot. When a Russian nuclear submarine surfaces in a US Naval base with no one aboard, tensions reach a boiling point. With the discovery of the scariest-yet mind control pandemic threatening to level the Earth as we know it, and a global puppet master who's reach is unlimited, Pierce is forced to go to extreme lengths. The US Vice President has been compromised, Russia begins to arm Iran, and Pierce must break every rule to stop a nuclear holocaust. The only problem is...they are very late to the game. ★★★★★ Soon to be a television series, the Pierce Reston series by Chase Hughes is a work of modern spy fiction that rivals Dan Brown, David Baldacci, and possibly the great Le Carr . 'In this stunning work, Chase not only divulges serious loopholes in the human mind, but the inner workings of psychology and behavior.' -
