Set in Lucknow, India, this novel follows a severe heat wave from its first weather warning to its devastating human cost. Through the eyes of radio journalist Kavita, emergency doctor Arjun, and poor families living under tin roofs, the story shows how extreme heat is not only a natural disaster, but also a test of society. Rain finally brings temporary relief, but it cannot wash away the deaths, fear, and inequality left behind by the heat. The novel asks a simple but painful question: when the world grows hotter, who has shelter, water, medicine, and a voice—and who is left under the sun?

The Chosen Secretary of War opens with the president’s casual remark, “He likes war,” a line that reawakens Daniel Mercer’s buried trauma. Years earlier, as a pilot, Daniel helped bomb his wife’s homeland, drawing her sister’s family into death, separation, and lifelong grief. Decades later, Evan Hawk rises as a new Secretary of War, turning fear, power, and applause into a call for renewed conflict. Across Washington, Belgrade, and Beijing, broken pens, bread, photographs, and testimony reveal the human cost of fire—and ask whom war truly serves after the speeches end.
A professor meets Minhua Zhang, a Chinese scholar living in the United States, through their shared Christian faith. Believing her sincere and trustworthy, he helps bring her to Dongjia Medical University, build a research team, establish laboratories and research programs, write grant proposals, and secure institutional support. Minhua Zhang, however, turns faith, identity, academic titles, and personal relationships into instruments of personal gain. Research grants, subsidized housing for high-level recruits, special project funds, even a provincial key laboratory—nothing escapes her calculation. After being used, betrayed, and humiliated again and again, the professor gradually comes to see her for who she is. Her actions force him to reconsider not only faith and academic ethics, but also a university system in which personal interest so often takes precedence over principle.
