Book SynopsisEach will prove to be a piece of a puzzle that, when assembled, reveals a shocking truth about the clash between the optimism of those who seek inspiration from spacious skies, and the venom of others who relish the underworld—not only via conspiratorial maneuverings, but the literal unearthing of the dead.Trade Review"In this extraordinary novel, Castleberry brilliantly hopscotches from person to person, from era to era, while somehow making all this fancy footwork look effortless and essential." — Jenny Offill, New York Times bestselling author of Department of Speculation and Weather "Discovering the nature of the characters’ associations and intersections across the chapters is one of the richest pleasures of the book. Another pleasure: the detailed portraits of 20th-century American life. Each chapter is a neatly packed and well-researched time capsule,...the close-clinging omniscient narration nimbly taking on the voices of each decade." — New York Times Book Review “Sharply-tuned, funny, satisfyingly strange, and preternaturally poised, unspooling in immaculate prose. Brian Castleberry has that rare, can’t-be-taught ability to turn smoothly at any point in any direction, giving each sentence, no matter how casual, a quiet current of electric suspense.” — William Finnegan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Barbarian Days "Impressive... Memorable characters inhabit a surprising, engaging story of American idealism and its dark opposite." — Kirkus Reviews “Scrappy and smart, intently observed and often darkly funny, these people navigate lives where everyday struggle and pleasure ride precariously on a deep undercurrent of menace.” — Chelsey Johnson, author of Stray City "Castleberry proves very adept at altering each chapter’s style and pacing to reflect the different personalities. Moreover, his evocation of each era is excitingly vibrant and authentic... These characters pop off the page, with one composite character—America herself—emerging brilliantly from the gestalt." — Locus "The truly shining objects are the nine stories that make up this gripping, shapeshifting novel. A debut out of this world." — Hernan Diaz, author of In the Distance "It’s worth it to take your time and savor this one." — BookPage "Each character’s chapter has its own voice, and swells with its own concerns, but they all crackle with tension and linger on loss....The perspectives overlap, but the composite leaves some questions unanswered, some connections intriguingly unrevealed....Castleberry's memorable tale probes fissures and anxieties that are undeniably current.” — Booklist "When, in 1947, a Navy pilot reports that he’s seen nine shiny objects flying over the Cascade Mountains, he sets off a chain reaction that affects nine characters, whose lives intersect in remarkable ways over the course of the following four decades. What Castleberry has written is not a novel about UFOs or cults or rock-and-roll but rather a literary saga that dauntlessly explores what it takes to believe." — Rachel Beanland, author of Florence Adler Swims Forever "Caroming across the changing American social and cultural landscape through the Cold War decades, Brian Castleberry's ambitious, shining novel explores the morphing vision of "America" from nine deeply felt, intricately connected perspectives. A timely book about our ideals, hopes, disillusionments, and their shadowy consequences, Nine Shiny Objects is a significant, daring debut that speaks keenly to our current times." — Asako Serizawa, author of Inheritors "Castleberry has pulled off quite a feat. Nine Shiny Objects is an intricately plotted novel of big ideas that’s driven by fully realized characters. I couldn’t wait to turn the page, yet I wanted to linger in each chapter." — Kelli Jo Ford, author of Crooked Hallelujah "Marked by literary ambition. ... This is a story about how our individual histories follow us, about light versus dark, but also about our clouded perception of America—and how it continues to divide us." — Elle "A triumph. Author Brian Castleberry’s ability to inhabit each character’s mind, giving each distinct tics in their thought and speech patterns, makes their self-righteousness, confusion, guilt, and hope achingly legible. ... Hidden behind the facade of a book about UFOs is a novel about 20th century America, its flaws and its fears." — Washington City Paper "[Castleberry's] deft treatment of the past half-century of U.S. political and cultural history is by turns lively and absurd, violent and ecstatic, just as those times were. ... Suffused by mystery and melancholy, but also with occasional laugh-out-loud slapstick and “Twilight Zone” weirdness." — Richmond Magazine "Castleberry crafts a superlatively original tale that incorporates UFOs, government conspiracies, counterculture and hope in this delicately layered novel." — The Ridgefield Press "The depth and intricacy of the plotting is really something to see, connections on connections on connections that spider out from our titular objects in a manner that cleverly evokes the sorts of red-thread connection webs that we associate with conspiracy theory." — The Maine Edge

This long-running thriller series shows no sign of losing steam.” — Publishers Weekly on Vortex “If you are looking for a roller coaster, highly emotional ride then you will really want to sit down with Vortex in your hands…Vortex—by definition is a ‘whirling mass like a whirlpool or whirlwind’ and Catherine Coulter knows how to catch her readers in one…As always with Ms. Coulter’s books, Vortex will captivate and fascinate.” — Fresh Fiction “Coulter… knows who her characters are, and what motivates them, and she knows what kind of adversary to put up against them… [The FBI novels] are suspenseful and surprising, and they have earned their large following. Vortex will be received enthusiastically.” — Booklist “A new release from Catherine Coulter is always a special treat for suspense thriller fans—fans who will devour Vortex…[a] fast-paced, action-filled read.” — The Big Thrill "Intricate... Coulter expertly weaves all the plot threads together.

It’s a thriller most people would like to finish in one sitting…. Intense and packed with the action and inventive fantasy Catherine Coulter is known for.” — Washington Post Book Review “A breakneck plot, magnetic characters and just enough romance to make everything sizzle—that is to say, exactly what the world loves about [Coulter’s] best-selling FBI series…. The double-barreled plot explodes in the first chapter and doesn’t slow down until the breathtaking end. — Huffington Post on Bombshell “All the elements of a real spellbinder: glamour, romance… murder, colorful characters, sinister settings and a hidden motive for revenge that goes back decades. The plot twists at every turn…. Excellent.” — San Diego Union-Tribune on Riptide "Pulse-pounding… Coulter fans will have a tough time putting this one down." — Publishers Weekly on Paradox "A master of smooth, eminently readable narratives." — Booklist "Catherine Coulter is one of the bona fide rock stars of the thriller genre, and her last book, Paradox, was as good as anything she’s written. Labyrinth promises to be another 'white-knuckled' thriller." — The Real Book Spy “One of the reasons this long-running series keeps on being so entertaining is the combination of eerie and twisted plotline and engaging characters who continue to grow. Coulter is a true master!” — RT Book Reviews
