**A haunting, beautiful first novel by the bestselling author of *A Long Way Gone * When Ishmael Beah’s A Long Way Gone was published in 2007, it soared to the top of bestseller lists, becoming an instant classic: a harrowing account of Sierra Leone’s civil war and the fate of child soldiers that “everyone in the world should read” (The Washington Post). Now Beah, whom Dave Eggers has called “arguably the most read African writer in contemporary literature,” has returned with his first novel, an affecting, tender parable about postwar life in Sierra Leone. At the center of Radiance of Tomorrow are Benjamin and Bockarie, two longtime friends who return to their hometown, Imperi, after the civil war. The village is in ruins, the ground covered in bones. As more villagers begin to come back, Benjamin and Bockarie try to forge a new community by taking up their former posts as teachers, but they’re beset by obstacles: a scarcity of food; a rash of murders, thievery, rape, and retaliation; and the depredations of a foreign mining company intent on sullying the town’s water supply and blocking its paths with electric wires. As Benjamin and Bockarie search for a way to restore order, they’re forced to reckon with the uncertainty of their past and future alike. With the gentle lyricism of a dream and the moral clarity of a fable, Radiance of Tomorrow is a powerful novel about preserving what means the most to us, even in uncertain times.

He is the unknown heir of the Prophet Warrior and she is a rebel spy of the Free Will Forever (FWF) rebellion specifically recruited to be Michael’s mate. They fall in love at a museum, where they join a group of schoolchildren taking a computer-guided history tour given by an animated, 3-D old man, who looks like a cross between Albert Einstein and The Monopoly Man. Michael works as a researcher for Jacob Rose, the country’s most beloved celebrity and Michael’s best friend.

Meanwhile, Eve is feeling the pressure of not being pregnant from both the SBP and the FWF. Then the discovery of Michael’s hidden ancestral lineage and Eve’s clandestine rebel cause forces them to go seek out ancients truths dating back before the founding of New America to prove the paradox of how great evil can sometimes give birth to a greater good, just as easily as written words meant to save, can also destroy.

Although Colin Laney (from Gibson's earlier novel Idoru) lives in a cardboard box, he has the power to change the world. Thanks to an experimental drug that he received during his youth, Colin can see "nodal points" in the vast streams of data that make up the worldwide computer network. Nodal points are rare but significant events in history that forever change society, even though they might not be recognizable as such when they occur. Colin isn't quite sure what's going to happen when society reaches this latest nodal point, but he knows it's going to be big. And he knows it's going to occur on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, which has been home to a sort of SoHo-esque shantytown since an earthquake rendered it structurally unsound to carry traffic. Although All Tomorrow's Parties includes characters from two of Gibson's earlier novels, it's not a direct sequel to either. It's a stand-alone book.--Craig E. Engler
