Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Captivating novel of the Civil War
- By 9S on 01-12-13
By: John Jakes
Publisher's summary
The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal. The war has not yet touched this city of fallen grandeur or the lives of two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha Metanova, who share a single room in a cramped apartment with their brother and parents. Their world is turned upside down when Hitler's armies attack Russia and begin their unstoppable blitz to Leningrad.
Yet there is light in the darkness. Tatiana meets Alexander, a brave young officer in the Red Army. Strong and self-confident yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past, he is drawn to Tatiana - and she to him. Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Tatiana and Alexander's impossible love threatens to tear the Metanova family apart and expose the dangerous secret Alexander so carefully protects - a secret as devastating as the war itself - as the lovers are swept up in the brutal tides that will change the world and their lives forever.

A walking, talking cliché, he has a filthy mouth, a fantastic body, and doesn't give a sh-t about what you or anyone else thinks. Jameson Clarke may be the university's most diligent student - but she is no prude. Spending most of her time in the hallowed halls of the library, James is wary of pervs, jocks, and douchebags - and Oz Osborne is all three. She's smart, sarcastic - and not what he expected....

Story
In this sweeping and powerful epic the journey begins in the "terrible beauty" of Northern Ireland during a time when conflict reigns and no one is spared from tragedy and sorrow, the time known as The Troubles. It is the spring of 1968 in Belfast and James Kirkpatrick has just lost his father under suspicious circumstances, Casey Riordan is released from prison after five years and Pamela O'Flaherty has crossed an ocean and a lifetime of memories to find the man she fell in love with as a little girl. All three lives are on a collision course with each other against the backdrop of the burgeoning civil rights movement and a nation on the brink of revolution. They come from disparate backgrounds - Jamie a wealthy aristocrat whose life is like an imperfect but multi-faceted jewel-brilliant, flawed and with a glitter that is designed to distract the observer. Casey, a card-carrying member of the Irish Republican Army, who must face the fact that five years away has left him a stranger, a misfit in his own neighborhood where not everyone is sympathetic to a convicted rebel. Pamela, who has come to Ireland in search of a memory and a man who may not have existed in the first place.

A Bronze Star for this one
This was a great book & the narrator did a wonderful job telling this amazing tale of a girl from Russia falling & a red army soldier falling in love during WWII. It was an emotional wrenching story that made me both laugh & cry (sometimes at the same time). The story begins with them meeting at a bus stop in Leningrad on the first day of the war. It follows the couple while they try to hide their true feelings for each other from her family & his "best-friend", struggle through the bitter winter with all its horrors & losses before she & her sister get out of the city with his help, he later finds & finally marries her while on leave in the summer, then back to the war they separately go only to meet again. In the end after a bitter betrayal she makes it to America pregnant & alone just in time to deliver a healthy baby boy.
I would recommend this book to anyone it was that good. I hope there is another book that follows hopefully bringing them back together again.

One of my most favourite books
I love the Bronze Horseman series and was very happy when it came out in Audio. James Langton, although a very good narrator, would not have been my pick for this book. Thus said, I hope the next books in the series will be released in Audio format VERY VERY soon.

This novel will transport you to another world. A perfectly messy love story, with action, romance, and amazingly difficult choices. I loved every minute. The narrator did a wonderful job bringing the character's to life and paced the book beautifully. I recommend this book both to read our to listen to. You'll enjoy every minute.

Epic love!
Not much I can say that has not already been said by many others.
An epic love story filled with so much sacrifice and tragedy. Yet it was also laced with a beautiful love too.
I listened to the audio version which made it a much richer reading experience for me with all of the different accents and the tone / intonation of the emotions in this book.
Very sad that the second book is not yet available on audio so I may have to read the e-book or paperback because I just need more!

EPIC
Epic, what more can I say? If this book has been sitting on your Kindle, read it immediately. And the audiobook was simply outstanding!
“Ask yourself these three questions, Tatiana Metanova, and you will know who you are. Ask: What do believe in? What do you hope for? What do you love?”
Yes I am the one of the few people who had never experienced the glory that is 'The Bronze Horseman'! If you have been waiting to read this magnificent novel, don't wait! It is everything everyone says it is and more! I chose to listen to the audiobook and it was absolutely breathtaking. The narrator is perfection! I could almost see the streets of Leningrad, feel the warm lake breezes and experience the abject cold and hunger caused by the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
The love that Alexander and Tatiana have for each other is transcendent. From their first meeting, they were bound together. Even though Tatiana's sister was also in love with Alexander, Tania never let her love for her Shura die.
“Alexander, were you looking for me?"
"All my life.”
The sweeping historical romance is so detailed and well-researched that I literally felt transported to the 1940's. All of the characters, the families and the soldiers were so finely drawn that I hung on every word! I absolutely adored Paullina Simons' writing style. Even if historical romance might not be your favorite genre, please please give this one a try! It should be at the top of every romance lover's reading list.
“Please don't die," she whispered. "I don't think I can bury
you. I already buried everyone else."
"How can I die," Alexander said, his voice breaking, "when you
have poured your immortal blood into me?”
Shura and Tania fought every obstacle and suffered through unimaginable situations to be together. There was always someone conspiring against them or someone else whose feelings they had to consider. Yes this is a weighty story but I highly recommend 'The Bronze Horseman' to all. It is magnificent!
“Alexander knew that before he had light instead of darkness, he had to deserve light instead of darkness.”

couldn't stop listening!
I didn't think I would like it. Took a while to get going. But after a while, I was hooked. Didn't want it to end. Needs a sequel and/ or a movie.
