The Emperor of Any Place
The ghosts of war reverberate across the generations in a riveting, time-shifting story within a story from acclaimed thriller writer Tim Wynne-Jones.
When Evan’s father dies suddenly, Evan finds a hand-bound yellow book on his desk—a book his dad had been reading when he passed away. The book is the diary of a Japanese soldier stranded on a small Pacific island in WWII. Why was his father reading it? What is in this account that Evan’s grandfather, whom Evan has never met before, fears so much that he will do anything to prevent its being seen? And what could this possibly mean for Evan? In a pulse-quickening mystery evoking the elusiveness of truth and the endurance of wars passed from father to son, this engrossing novel is a suspenseful, at times terrifying read from award-winning author Tim Wynne-Jones.

culture. Now Braden is learning about white-water paddling, outdoor
survival and Dene lore.Then the team is trapped after
a severe storm and resulting flood and separated from their group
leaders. Braden is now marooned in a completely non-digital world; cut
off from everything he clung to for support – the virtual world that
defined his identity. He and the other team members
will have to connect with a new network of mountains, rivers and eagles
and the skills they have managed to pick up to survive the journey back
home to their families.
