Hardback. Condition: Good. National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson returns to future Earth in a sharply wrought satire of art and truth in the midst of colonization. When the vuvv first landed, it came as a surprise to aspiring artist Adam and the rest of planet Earth -- but not necessarily an unwelcome one. Can it really be called an invasion when the vuvv generously offered free advanced technology and cures for every illness imaginable? As it turns out, yes. With his parents' jobs replaced by alien tech and no money for food, clean water, or the vuvv's miraculous medicine, Adam and his girlfriend, Chloe, have to get creative to survive. And since the vuvv crave anything they deem classic Earth culture (doo-wop music, still-life paintings of fruit, true love), recording 1950s-style dates for the vuvv to watch in a pay-per-minute format seems like a brilliant idea. But it's hard for Adam and Chloe to sell true love when they hate each other more with every passing episode. Soon enough, Adam must decide how far he's willing to go -- and what he's willing to sacrifice -- to give the vuvv what they want.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Henry Spearman, the balding economics professor with a knack for solving crimes, returns in The Mystery of the Invisible Hand--a clever whodunit of campus intrigue, stolen art, and murder. Having just won the Nobel Prize, Spearman accepts an invitation to lecture at Monte Vista University. He arrives in the wake of a puzzling art heist with plans to teach a course on art and economics--only to be faced with the alleged suicide of womanizing artist-in-residence Tristan Wheeler. When it becomes clear that Wheeler had serious enemies and a murderer is in their midst, Henry Spearman is on the case. Was Wheeler killed by a jilted lover, a cuckolded husband, or a beleaguered assistant? Could there have been a connection between Wheeler's marketability and his death? From the Monte Vista campus in San Antonio to the halls of Sotheby's in New York, Spearman traces the connections between economics and the art world, finding his clues in monopolies and the Coase conjecture, auction theory, and the work of Adam Smith. What are the parallels between a firm's capital and an art museum's collection? What does the market say about art's authenticity versus its availability? And what is the mysterious "death effect" that lies at the heart of the case? Spearman must rely on his savviest economic insights to clear up this artful mystery and pin down a killer.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Visibly Struck, an award-winning novel based on the true experiences of George Washington and his faith in the invisible hand of God, is an impactful and poignant story of faith, healing, and the unmistakable power of God. Is God proactively involved in the affairs of man? Not according to Spitz. Sixteen years ago he tragically lost his only son and daughter-in-law in a fiery plane crash. Mired in grief and bitterness towards God, Spitz took early retirement to raise his granddaughter, Aspen. Seeking to prove his case against God, Spitz discovers George Washington's assertion that God favorably intervened in the formation of the United States. Enraged, Spitz dares God to answer the charge that He is not lovingly proactive in our lives. Providentially, Spitz suffers a stroke. While lying in a coma, he is mysteriously transported in time to witness and record the signs, mercies, and favorable interventions of God that George Washington experienced. As Spitz fights for his life both in the past and present, Aspen, an attractive and successful commodities analyst, must also come to terms on where and how God is directing her, especially when it concerns her new business associate. Without her Papa by her side, will Aspen choose to confront the hard truth of the past and allow for love? Spitz's inspiring journey blends faith, fact, and fiction, yielding a surprising perspective of the forces that shaped George Washington's life and destiny. The scope of the factual evidence Spitz gathers is enlightening and heart changing, subtly stirring the question: Is God lovingly proactive in my life, too? George Washington's true beliefs about the many signs, mercies, and favorable interventions of God during the founding of America inspired Visibly Struck, a mesmerizing novel based on the true experiences of George Washington and his faith in the invisible hand of God protecting him and fashioning the country.…
