Could one man help to put an end to this horrific trade? He was an old friend. His death was suspicious.

But the next morning, his cravat is found—tangled scandalously among the garden ...

After an escalating fight about politics, he hauled off and punched his conspiracy theorist son-in-law. Horrified by what he'd done, by the state of the country and by his own spiraling mental health, Rhys chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, off the grid and with no one around—except a pack of hungry raccoons.

The Institute of Special Technologies teaches students just one thing: the magic that allows them to become parts of speech, and in doing so, transforming into a specific piece of grammar (a verb, or an adjective, or an article) so they will be able to shape the world around them. As the new provost, though, Sasha is facing an enormous problem: the students in the world she just created, her “world without fear,” are unable to master the curriculum. Whether it’s the magic or the natural order of things, what they need to learn and become—Speech—is the basis of the material world.

The few survivors play an intricate and unending game called Bluff at the behest of the slug-like aliens who rule the planet.

That is, if he isn’t derailed by aliens, psychic traitors, or his new wife.

I 5. bind af Finnskog-serien, Det synger i løvet, er vi kommet til tiden omkring 1900. Igen møder vi Linas uægte datter Annikka, der stadig går og sørger over det barn, hun engang fødte i hemmelighed og begravede i et stenskred. Vi møder den afsatte, godhjertede, men fordrukne præst, der engang elskede en mand, og som har en ulykkelig og opofrende kone. Og der er den snart 100-årige, ekstremt nærige kone på Valkola. Parallelt med handlingen i Finnskogen følger vi de udvandrere, der har arbejdet sig op i Amerika.
