The powerful first novel by New York Times bestselling author David Farland, at once disturbing and compelling.
On My Way to Paradise is the chronicle of one man's odyssey of self-discovery within a world at war. In a world of ever-worsening crisis, Angelo Osic is an anomaly: a man who cares about others. One day he aids a stranger. . .and calls down disaster, for the woman called Tamara is also a woman on the run, the only human with the knowledge that will save Earth from the artificial intelligences plotting to overthrow it. Fleeing the assassins who seek him as well as Tamara, Angelo seizes the only escape route available: to sign on as a mercenary with the Japanese Motoki Corporation in its genocidal war against the barbarian Yabajin. Jacked into training machines that simulate warfare, Angelo dies a hundred times. . .and is resurrected to fight again. In a world of death, he dreams only of life--and the freedom to love once more.
When last contacted, Air Force Two, with the vice president of the United States aboard, was flying high over the Philippine jungle.
On board was not only the vice president, but the “football” that gave him the power to initiate nuclear war. For in Washington, D.C., the U.S. President lay dying.

An urban fantasy pulp adventure epic about ancient manuscripts, zen illusionists, opera, murder, magic, and the alternate History of the World
The Festival of Bones begins with a manuscript and ends with a murder. Jude, a mysterious prodigy invites a professor of ancient literature and a former singer to a nightclub where he shows them a mysterious manuscript—the Prime Edda, which might have been used by the composer Richard Wagner in some sort of ritual related to his Ring Operas.
Jude found the manuscript in the Himalayas, along with proof of alternate histories of the world, histories that have overlapped with our own, causing things as we know them to shift and change. He believes that somehow, the stories in the Edda relate to a forthcoming inversion, which he wants to witness.
Together, they start to translate the work, but soon find themselves pursued by a number of parties all seeking to seize the Edda—and perhaps bring about the end of the world in the terrible Winter known as Ragnarok.
