An Indie Next Pick
ETTA AND OTTO AND RUSSELL AND JAMES
Emma Hooper
"A quietly powerful story whose dreamlike quality lingers
long after the last page is turned." — starred, Booklist
Otto, the letter began, I've gone. I've never seen the water,
so I've gone there. Don't worry, I've left you the truck.
I can walk. I will try to remember to come back. Yours
(always), Etta. Otto finds his 83-year-old wife's note in
their kitchen in Saskatchewan, 3,200 kilometers from the
ocean. But he understands. He was
there once. Now Otto struggles with
his demons of war while their friend
Russell pursues Etta. And James —
you'll have to meet him on the page.

LOCK IN
John Scalzi
"A tightly plotted, highly imaginative SF/mystery . . .
Another brilliant novel from a writer who has quickly
become one of the genre's most successful and intriguing
practitioners." — starred, Booklist
When a highly contagious virus spreads across the globe,
most experience only flu-like symptoms. But one percent
suffer "Lock In": fully aware, but unable to move. Years
later, in a world shaped by what's
now called "Haden's syndrome,"
FBI agents Chris Shane and Leslie
Vann are assigned to a murder.
The suspect is an "integrator" —
someone who can lend their body
to the locked in. But the real crime
is bigger than anyone could have
imagined.

BEING MORTAL
Medicine and What Matters in the End
Atul Gawande
"As a writer and a doctor, Gawande appreciates the value of a good ending."
— starred, Booklist
Modern medicine has transformed the dangers of childbirth, injury, and
infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the face of our
inevitable aging and death, what it can do often runs counter to what it
should do. Now Atul Gawande reveals the suffering this has produced. He
examines the profession's limitations and failures as life draws to a close, and
he shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death, but a good life — until
the very end.
