Vincent, a bartender at the Hotel Caiette who had been posing as Jonathan’s wife, walks away into the night. When his scheme collapses, it obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. In it, Jonathan Alkaitis’s billion-dollar business is really nothing more than a game of smoke and mirrors. The Glass Hotel is a story of crisis and survival, greed and guilt, love and delusion. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the universe. Sea of Tranquility is described as a novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon three hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space. “It has the moon, time travel, and futuristic book tours, I think I’ve made it clear I’m a big fan of one of her earlier novels, but I gotta say- this is my favorite Emily novel. “Emily has a stunning new book about to come out called Sea of Tranquility,” he said.
