Free Worldwide Delivery : The 5th Wave : Hardback : Putnam Publishing Group : 9780399162411 : 0399162410 : 07 May 2013 : The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from an award-winning author. On a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.

After his 2009 album Hypnosis , when we learned to know Roland Voss a.k.a. Lemongrass as an ambient artist, he reinvents himself once more with his brand-new effort The 5th Dimension . On his eleventh album, the French influences of the predecessors Pour L Amour (2008) and Filmothèque (2007) still shine through but the extraordinary voices of Karen Gibson Roc and Suzy Duffy add a completely new touch thanks to their nu soul vocal style. Framed by sun-drenched, marvelously airy instrumentals and embellished with rolling beats, the album immediately turns on its charm. If The 5th Dimension were a bottle of wine, you would have to describe it as superbly matured, full-bodied and abundant with fascinating nuances. As it is a music album you may depict it as an intriguing soundtrack for a journey through time and space towards its final destination: the soul, or the fifth dimension of human imagination. Right from the very first track Crystal Mind it is spellbinding. Smooth beats snake through your auditory canals before they sink down to warm your heart, a sweet experience only to be topped off by some ingeniously embedded chirps. The following Maison à la Mer starts with heavy beats and an enchanting vibe which could originate in the fabulous world of 'Amelie', until an underwater break provides some cool contrast. After this favourable opening, the time has come to introduce the wonderful Karen Gibson Roc. Born in Jamaica, raised in Canada, and living in Brooklyn, she sings as determined as she lives her life. Her warm and powerful voice has a haunting quality which prompted an American critic to make the statement that she must somehow be involved with the salvation of the universe . Relying on a head-nodding beat, her ballad You Gotta Be Free is a wondrously poetic homage to her recently deceased father. In On The Edge of Time her voice brilliantly harmonizes with the underlying beats. Reflection demonstrates the unique precision and range of her voice while on the production side a playful break adds extra pleasure. In fine contrast, the the subsequent Alone has a compelling melancholic touch. Deep down into the groove you can step with Lucky, a song where Scottish singer Suzy Duffy radiates her glamorous vibe, further underscored by perfectly arranged horns. The following instrumental track Passion Fruit boosts the preceding impact with massive beats before the nu soul dominated bulk is taken to its conclusion by the slow-motion track Strip-Tease where piano, drums, bass and saxophone are arranged in some well-balanced interplay. The bossa touch in Everything You Want, the airy interlude in Lightness of Being and Bonjour, a track evoking images of a breakfast in sunny Paris, add further colours. Embedded in the album is a laid-back end with introspective pearls such as Magnificent and Balcony, the ambient track Satellite refers to the opening title with its chirping sounds, this time in electronic-driven form. A nice conclusion to a lovingly crafted album.

Like his friend Vince Gill, Brad Paisley has achieved the often-difficult feat of reconciling being an entertainer and world-class guitarist. He's proven that on four admirable albums, and 5th Gear follows in that vein. Certainly Ticks, an airy, radio-friendly ditty, is not the true substance here. That comes with such superior fare as the insightful All I Wanted Was a Car and Online, a sly satire of people's Web facades. While his duet with Carrie Underwood (Oh Love) is a bit cut and dried, Paisley ably handles Letter to Me, It Did, and Mr. Policeman, a 21st-century outrun-the-law tune. The closing hymn, When We All Get to Heaven, and ripping instrumental Throttleneck are Paisley at his best. It's admirable that he invites his venerable buddies, Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones, Vince Gill, and Bill Anderson, along with Dolly Parton, to join in, but the obligatory Kung Pao Buckaroos skit is wearing a bit thin. Better to feature them musically, the way he includes Dickens, Gill, and Anderson on Bigger Fish to Fry. In a time where lines between county and pop are blurring far too much, it's comforting to know Paisley still realizes and respects the differences. --Rich Kienzle

Remarkable, not-to-be-missed-under-any-circumstances.—Entertainment Weekly (Grade A) The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey. After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up. Wildly entertaining . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.—Justin Cronin, The New York Times Book Review A modern sci-fi masterpiece . . . should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires.—USAToday.com
