Redemption Falls

A tale of hatreds and mercies, of balladry and the blues, of war and peace and the healing power of forgiveness, Redemption Falls is an epic novel and an unforgettable love story, from the author of international best-seller Star of the Sea

1865. The American Civil War is ending. Eighteen years after the famine ship Star of the Sea docked at New York, the daughter of two of her passengers sets out from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a walk across a devastated America. Eliza Duane Mooney is searching for a young boy she has not seen in four years, one of the hundred thousand children drawn into the war. His fate has been mysterious and will prove extraordinary. It’s a walk that will have consequences for many seemingly unconnected survivors: a love-struck cartographer, a haunted Latina poetess, rebel guerrilla Cole McLaurenson, runaway slave Elizabeth Longstreet and the mercurial revolutionary James Con O’Keeffe, who commanded a brigade of Irish immigrants in the Union Army and is now Governor of a western wilderness where nothing is as it seems. Redemption Falls is a tale of war and forgiveness, of strangers in a strange land, of love put to the ultimate test. Packed with music, balladry, poetry and storytelling, this is a riveting historical novel of urgent contemporary resonance, from the author of the internationally bestselling Star of the Sea.

Author Profile

Joseph O'Connor was born in Dublin. He has written thirteen books, including five previous novels: Cowboys and Indians, Desperadoes, The Salesman, Inishowen and most recently Star of the Sea, which became an international bestseller, winning the Irish Post Award for Literature, an American Library Association Award, France's Prix Millepages and the Prix Madeleine Zepter for European Novel of the Year. His work has been published in twenty-nine languages.

Reviews

It is a gloriously polyphonic work, full of overlapping voices and clashing dialects … Redemption Falls perpetrates hardly one slack or unsculptured sentence for the whole of its 450 pages. Like Joyce, O’Connor combines his panoramic range with a close eye to the grain and texture of the phrase …Redemption Falls is a major work of modern fiction from an astonishingly accomplished writer,A huge achievement, as deep as it is wide, this is a book like no other of these times,The story is told with extraordinary ingenuity, the tone a mixture of the playful and the grave, at times fast-moving, smart and very clever, and then full of beautiful writing and heart-breaking sequences. The cadences of the competing voices in the book combine to produce a dazzling narrative,This book took my breath away. If you’re interested at all in the American Civil War, Irish participation in same, love, the expansion of the West, you’ll delight in this novel. It is panoramic, yet dense and delicious in detail. It is written gloriously, as if Mr O’Connor toiled at some mighty cathedral organ containing the whole of the English language with its Irish and American flavourings. This is a brave book and only a brave heart could have written it,Redemption Falls cements O’Connor’s reputation as a novelist of the highest order. The quality of the writing is coruscating. O’Connor has a wonderful ear for the spoken word, as is evident from the rich list of characters created to tell the unfolding story,Teriffic new novel…reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy’s nihilistic westerns, O’ Connor’s prose gradually coheres into an epic narrative,This book consolidates and deepens O’Connor’s stature as a major novelist,The words ‘A Masterpiece’ are too often bandied around in reviews, but they should be this novel’s subtitle,Redemption Falls is trauma incarnate, but its effect is both compassionate and luminous,Books of this quality demand to be reread to reveal more of their complexities and layers of meaning. Redemption Falls would reward this on the level of its rich textures of language alone,Redemption Falls is Gone with The Wind rewritten by a Dublin-born apprentice to Charles Dickens,Broad and ambitious, Redemption Falls is a worthy successor to O’Connor’s Star of the Sea… beautifully written, almost unbearably bleak, Redemption Falls is a love story and a ‘tale of war’..at the heart of O’Connor’s masterful epic lies a universal hope for something better

His debut novel, Killing Floor, was written after he was made redundant from his television job in Manchester, and introduced his much-admired maverick hero, the former military cop Jack Reacher. Born in Coventry, he now lives in America. Visit www.jackreacher.co.uk

Reviews
Child has somehow forged that magical grail: a new and believable hero. Reacher is strong, tall, principled and a quiet master in unarmed combat. But he's also a wizard at determining likelihoods, at extrapolating miniscule details and thus forming chains of inferred logic ...celebrate the achievement of giving us addicts a new and mesmerising fix, when we thought all the heroes had been written.,It is always a pleasure to read another Jack Reacher novel. A kind of highlight of the year, really. There is only one downside. It's all the other people hanging around your house saying things like, "Oy! Haven't you finished with the Reacher yet?",A storyteller who knows a lot about style...Watching the clock underscores the tension that Child builds so well. You do and you don't want it all to end.,Explodes into one of the best thrillers I've read for ages. Lee Child is a Brit who has managed to becomes more American than most US authors...61 Hours is destined to do big things...Superb stuff!,This is the first of Lee Child's popular Jack Reacher novels I've read. I'd assumed they were merely the macho adventures of a boneheaded lone wolf:lots of guns and explosions and little to occupy the mind. Well, I was wrong: there's also an abundance of intelligence and surprise. 61 Hours is a first-class thriller...Child delivers it brilliantly.,In many ways it's the most climactic Reacher ever...There's a sequel planned for this autumn. Can't wait!,Reacher is an iconic modern thriller hero: the ultimate loner...won't disappoint the British-born Child's millions of fans...Fast, compelling and with that nugget of poignancy that sets the hero apart.,Child spins a great yarn, his descriptive powers are austere yet glorious...He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town. All without untying his hands. The Reacher novels are literary beat-'em-ups for the pre-console generation. They are, like the hero, simply irresistible.,As always with Child, the hook is smart, the plot possibilities are given a thorough workout, and the tension bites as hard as the South Dakota windchill.,One of the many delights of Child's extraordinary sequencewof novels is Reacher's 360-degree intelligence...there are now Lee Child copycats aplenty. Save your money for the real thing.,Lee Child certainly knows by now how to screw up the tension with excruciating precision, but here excels himself with a beautifully paced tale that leaves the reader breathless with suspense as the final hours tick away.,Craftiest and most highly evolved of Lee Child's electrifying Jack Reacher books...That legend of a tough, cerebral drifter, a latter-day 6-foot-5-inch cowboy...has now taken on a life of its own..The truth about Reacher gets better and better.,A Hitchockian escalation of tension...brings to mind another iconic Jack (Bauer, from the TV series 24)...works disturbingly well.,The writing's superb, and the plot's gripping and completely believable. A real page-turner.,A powerhouse of tension and nail-biting suspense...an excellent and masterful work of fiction.

From the moment she draws breath, her fate is linked to another orphan, growing up in a gloomy mansion not too many miles away . . .

The X-Files: Antibodies

A novel based on the Emmy Award-winning television series created by Chris Carter. When a disease-ravaged body is found in the smoldering ruins of the federally funded DyMar genetic research lab, Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully fear that a deadly, man-made plague is on the loose. As the FBI agents investigating the "X-Files" -- cases the bureau has deemed unsolvable -- Mulder and Scully pursue the truth wherever it leads, even into the labyrinthine corridors of the FBI... and beyond. Racing to contain the lethal virus before it can spread, Mulder and Scully make a chilling discovery. Before his death, Dr. David Kennessy, a hotshot cancer researcher at DyMar, had been experimenting with a promising but highly dangerous technology: microscopic bio-machines that can cure any disease, heal any wound. In theory, this research could be a miracle cure, perhaps even a doorway to immortality. It was also the only way Dr. Kennessy could save his leukemia-stricken son. But when a second corpse turns up, savagely mutilated from within, it's anything but theoretical. Could machines created to cure have learned to kill? Scrambling for answers, Mulder and Scully are opposed at every step by faceless enemies with all the resources of the government -- even perhaps of their own agency -- at their command. Enemies who will stop at nothing to ensure that the secret of immortality falls in the right hands -- their hands. As sinister forces close in, Scully fights to save the life of an innocent boy while Mulder comes face to face with a crazed and desperate man. A man whose slightest touch brings agonizing death -- and perhaps a resurrection more horrible still.
