BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Secret Combinations is a strong debut mystery . . . The dialogue moves the action forward while revealing the network of emotions deftly unveiled by the author. The action is short and sharp and leads to a climax worth reading twice. —The Hamilton Spectator
Calgary writer Gordon Cope's debut novel, Secret Combinations, is focused on the 'ripped-from-the-headlines' threat of cyber warfare and, more specifically, the sort of constructed viruses that can worm their way into the western world's computers and devastate civilization. . . . While Agent Jack Kenyon's first adventure will have him coming face to face with some family secrets linked to the sudden death of his aunt, he is a lot less dark and troubled than most heroes that front a continuing mystery series. —Calgary Herald
