As the turbulent 1850s propel a nation to war, a young man is kicked off the family farm in Pennsylvania and journeys west to Kansas in search of adventure. A skilled horseman, he’s recruited into John Brown’s militia of Jayhawkers, raiding pro-slave settlements and liberating slaves along the border with Missouri. From there he races back east, joining his zealous leader in the famous assault on the U.S. Armory and Arsenal in Harpers Ferry, regarded as the spark that ignited the Civil War. This is the true story of Albert Hazlett, a tale of violence and friendship that takes readers across the fields of Bleeding Kansas, through winding Appalachian ravines, and delivers them to the front line of American history.

It is Paris in the 1920s, that frothy heyday between the World Wars. Hidden among the opulent cabarets, cafes, and theaters, a mad scientist toils away in his own private hospital, illegally performing grotesque experimental head transplants and reanimations on bodies stolen from the morgue. Under the tutelage of the disembodied head of a former colleague, the madman is well on his way to presenting the first-ever human head transplant to the scientific community, thereby achieving professional glory and securing his legacy as the greatest scientific mind of his generation. However, when one of his test subjects escapes, he risks being exposed to the authorities as a deranged criminal, before he has a chance to prove that he is exceptional and above the law. Can he find her before she alerts the police? Can he replicate the experiment before his illegal laboratory of living heads is discovered? Will his staff remain loyal as the pressure to save themselves builds? For nearly a century, the answers to these questions have captured the imaginations of countless readers in author Alexander Belyaev’s native Russia, where this bestselling novel has sold millions of copies, has been adapted into film, and has influenced a generation of science-fiction writers.
