Books with title Harvest of Light

What price would you pay to live forever?In a time when technology gives you the choice of trading in your humanity for immortality, war has broken out between those who have chosen eternal life, known as Harvesters, and the last bastion of humans who view death as a small price to pay to retain their immortal souls.As one of the few remaining survivors of the war, Skye and her best friend Ash struggle to live in what’s left of a post-nuclear United States. They elude capture by the Harvesters and simply try to stay alive in a world gone mad. After years on the run together, Skye's feelings for Ash develop into a love that is never openly reciprocated. Ash stoutly maintains his role as Skye's guardian, never allowing his emotions to get in the way of keeping her protected.Finding themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, Skye and Ash become embroiled in a struggle against two Harvesters who are torturing a young man named Jace. During the altercation to save themselves and Jace, Ash is mortally wounded. Skye begins to lose hope that she can save her friend until a mysterious woman appears out of nowhere. The woman instructs Skye to journey to the Southern Kingdom, a haven built by the surviving members of humanity, if she ever wants to be with Ash again.“Our fates are in your hands. Don’t fail us,” the woman warns Skye before literally vanishing into thin air, taking Ash with her.Desperate to be reunited with Ash, Skye and Jace begin their long trek towards the Southern Kingdom. Along the way, Skye unlocks a dark secret about her past, and discovers why Jace is so adamant that he knows her even though he has no memories about his own past. During the trials they face together along the way, Skye attempts to cope with her developing feelings for Jace. Feelings she never thought she would have for anyone but Ash.

A riveting debut thriller from one of New York’s most eminent surgeons, Night Harvest follows the bizarre disappearance of patients from a Manhattan hospital into the murky underground of the city. Fourth-year medical student Demetri Makropolis has been assigned to cover orthopedics at Eastside Medical Center, one of New York City’s finest hospitals. Just as his surgery team begins to operate on New York’s leading drama critic, F. J. Pervis III, the patient suddenly goes into cardiac arrest. The team fails to resuscitate him, so the corpse is moved to the hospital’s morgue. But before the autopsy is even performed, the body vanishes from the morgue and mysteriously reappears a day later—with the brain surgically removed. Even more disturbing is the medical examiner’s discovery: Pervis was still alive when the ghostly craniotomy was performed. With their reputation at stake, the hospital assigns NYPD’s Detective Patrick McManus to the case; meanwhile, Demetri learns of an eerily similar century-old unsolved mystery that leads him to an enigmatic figure lurking in the bowels of the medical center. With Pervis as his experiment, the perpetrator initiates a chain reaction of chaos and murder in Manhattan. A gripping tale filled with ambition, romance, jealousies, and black humor, Night Harvest is a thrilling ride that culminates in the long-abandoned elaborate network of subterranean rooms and corridors that still lie beneath present-day Manhattan.

It combines suspense and knowledge, experience and imagination. His grateful readers will now wait for the next." —Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate and award-winning author of Night"This book is a fun, scary ride. Written by a prominent New York surgeon, Night Harvest serves up a strong cocktail mixing the author's unique knowledge of those terrifying black holes, big-city hospitals, the godlike Caesars who run them, a satanic villain or three (one of them a critic, of course), and a platoon of smart, young, and gorgeous residents for us to root for, and worry about. It is great fun, smartly written, and hard to put down. Pick it up." —Brian Dennehy, award-winning actor"First-time author Dr. Michael Alexiades has written a medical thriller that will set your pulse racing, your blood pressure rising, and your temperature shooting through the roof. What a debut!” —Michael Takiff, author of A Complicated Man: The Life of Bill Clinton as Told by Those Who Know Him"Michael Alexiades may be a first-time author, but his writing is a match for the very best. Night Harvest is a powerful story of success and failure, of dreams realized and broken. The book is about choices . . . and the mystical way our choices become our life story. Read it carefully; it's worth your time." —Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell, Director of the Department of Religion at Chautauqua Institution“Raymond Chandler once observed that crime novels could be fine literature. Michael Alexiades proves Chandler to be correct. His debut novel is written with humor, insight, and a truly sardonic view of humanity. It is a superb thriller that delivers more than any reader could ask.” —George Minkoff, author of In the Land of Whispers TrilogyMichael Alexiades is a New York City orthopedic surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery and a professor and past Overseer at Weill Cornell Medical College. He is Director of New York’s Finest Foundation, Chair of the NYPD Article II Medical Board, Chief Surgeon for the NY State Troopers Association, Fitness Chair at The New York Athletic Club, and an Examiner for the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. Night Harvest is his first novel.
