Seems trouble runs in the family: Joe’s other cousin—Loretta’s brother, Dom—robs banks for a living. His latest take: 9 million dollars. Stashed…well, you’re not the only one who wants to know. Loretta’s on the lam, and she only agrees to be brought in on one condition: that Stephanie pick up her son, Mario, from school while Loretta gets bonded out.

Meanwhile, less than a week after Dom gets out of the slammer, shadowy figures are breaking into Joe Morelli’s house. Plus, he’s getting threatening messages—and now Dom’s gone missing.

His world is, as always, a deliriously cruel and comically indifferent landscape full of factories, trailers and bars. The highlights here are many. In one especially memorable tale, an ambitious builder of roads, who commands an army of bulldozers and asphalt spreaders, fritters away all his free time with toy trains…until the women in his life decide to intervene. In another, a young stenographer working in a soulless office receives a message from a criminal who presents her with a strange—and thrilling—proposition. Yet another involves a newspaperman who’s forced onto a committee to judge Christmas displays—a job that leads him to a suspiciously ostentatious ex-con… and then a miracle! Beautifully showcasing the late Vonnegut’s storytelling genius while it was still in its formative stage, this wonderful collection of stories is a poignant reflection of our world that’s not to be missed.

Eisenhower The White House Years Jim Newton Publisher: Doubleday Broadway Pub/Div Rh, September 13, 2011 Review: During Dwight D. Eisenhower’s eight years as president, the country experienced peace and, for a time, prosperity. Yet the head of state received little credit for this much-welcomed period. After suffering a heart attack in 1955 and being hospitalized for ileitis in 1956, Eisenhower was widely perceived as ineffectual, ailing and aloof. Many viewed him as an incompetent figurehead who played golf and bridge while cunning and powerful cabinet members carried out the nation’s work. Echoing public sentiment, influential Washington reporter Marquis Childs declared “Eisenhower…must be put down as a weak president.” His contemptuous 1958 biography of the president portrayed Eisenhower as indecisive, lazy and limited by his military upbringing. Over the years, this opinion has held fast. In Eisenhower, Jim Newton presents an entirely different view of the 34th president. Newton, a veteran journalist and author of Justice for All, draws from newly declassified documents and interviews with those who knew Eisenhower, including his son, John. The Ike in this impressive reassessment of the president is an engaged, progressive leader, a master politician and a perceptive, sentimental, occasionally tempestuous individual. He mourned the death of his first son and doted on his grandchildren but could “peel the varnish off a desk” with his temper. Far from a pushover, Eisenhower was a man who stood his ground even when his stance made him unpopular. Ironically, the military man was criticized for being too soft on defense. Eisenhower refused to allot more funding for nuclear arms and was baited for allowing a “missile gap.” As the Soviet Union gained nuclear strength, fears about nuclear war grew. Eisenhower’s top aides argued that rather than relying on the threat of massive retaliation to keep the Soviets in check, the U.S. should develop a tactical nuclear capacity to fight limited wars. The president steadfastly refused to alter the defense policy, pointing out that such a plan would transform weapons of deterrence into weapons of war. Bequeathed an atomic bomb, Eisenhower was the first American president not to use it. Ike also stimulated the economy to lift it from recession, built an interstate highway system, and was the last president until Bill Clinton to leave his country in the black. It was Eisenhower who appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren and who enforced desegregation in the schools. “Far from the caricature presented by Childs and others, Eisenhower was certain, resolute, and though respectful of his advisers, commandingly their boss,” contends Newton. Eisenhower is a fitting, long-overdue biography of the unfairly maligned, often underestimated president.

In Heroes and Exiles, Tom Ambrose takes stock of the human cost of this long exile, focusing on artists, such as Benvenuto Cellini and Edward Lear, poets including Thomas Gray and W.H. Auden and novelists like Henry James and Oscar Wilde. Often treated with suspicion, homosexuals were targets for the totalitarian dictatorships of the 20th century, consigned to exile in Siberia or Nazi death camps. While the tolerance of ancient Greece has somewhat returned to most Western societies, Ambrose asks if we’ve finally realized sexual orientation is irrelevant to character and achievement, and wonders if the long exile has finally ended.

Needless to say, the powers and passions in Quicksilver are out of this world…. At the toll of midnight, Virginia Dean awakens to an all-too-real nightmare. She’s in bed beside a dead body, holding a bloody knife—and she has no idea what happened. What’s more, the dark energy emanating from the mirrors on the walls is overpowering her senses. Is there no way out? Owen Sweetwater is heir to his family’s strange talent for discerning monsters who use their psychic powers to prey on the innocent. The recent deaths of two London glass readers have led him to keep an eye on Virginia, a woman considered by many in the high-minded Arcane Society to be nothing more than an illusionist. Owen knows better. Not only are Virginia’s powers real, they might be the key to his investigation, which is one of the reasons he happened to be on hand to rescue her. The other is that Owen is powerfully drawn to Virginia. And though he doesn’t like to dwell on it, she may be the only one who can save him from the madness that is the dark side of his legacy.

BUY NOW!!! ========================= God's Battalions The Case for the Crusades Rodney Stark Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers, October 13, 2009 Review: In his famous speech at Claremont on October 27, 1095, Pope Urban II graphically detailed the torture, rape and murder of Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land and the defilement of churches and holy places committed by the Turks. He then asked followers of Christ to become “soldiers of the living God” and go to war; the next year a Christian army set out for Jerusalem and the First Crusade was underway. Yet according to Rodney Stark, most scholars now seem to regard the Crusades as nothing more than the case of an expansionist, imperialistic Christendom brutalizing, looting and colonizing a tolerant and peaceful Islam. Stark takes issue with virtually every aspect of what he calls this “prevailing wisdom” in God’s Battalions. Stark begins his history of the Crusades not with the pope’s speech at Claremont, but with the rise of Islam and the onset of the Muslim invasions of Christendom in the seventh century, when Islamic armies swept over the larger portion of what was then Christian territory, including the Middle East, Egypt and all of North Africa, Spain, southern Italy and numerous Mediterranean islands including Sicily, Corsica, Cyprus, Rhodes, Crete, Malta and Sardinia. And having thus ruthlessly conquered, Stark maintains that the Muslims were also brutal and intolerant rulers. Christian retaliation was inevitable. Having thus set the stage, Stark gives a detailed history of the First Crusade, following the Christian army though the sieges of Nicaea and Antioch in 1097 to the siege and conquest of Jerusalem in 1099. He tells the history of the Crusaders’ kingdoms subsequently established by the First Crusade and the history of the four Crusades that followed. And he describes the founding of the two knightly religious orders of military monks—the Templars and the Hospitallers—dedicated to defending the Holy Land. Throughout God’s Battalions, Stark attempts to debunk claims of Muslim technological and cultural superiority to Christendom. He also rejects the notion that the Dark Ages in Europe were in fact dark, arguing that during that time Europe actually began the technological leap forward that would put it far ahead of the rest of the world. Little wonder, Stark argues, that the Crusaders were able to march more than twenty-five hundred miles, defeat an enemy that vastly outnumbered them and continue to do so as long as Europe was prepared to support the fight. Ultimately this provocative reassessment of the Crusades asserts that the Crusades were precipitated—perhaps even justified—by centuries of Islamic aggression and atrocities, and that the Crusaders themselves were not barbarians who victimized cultivated Muslims in search of land, loot and converts, but men of faith who “sincerely believed they served in God’s battalions.

A few weeks prior to the assassination attempt, the Allies had landed on the beaches of Normandy. In the East, Stalin’s Red Army pursued its unstoppable onslaught on Hitler’s Reich. And fleets of American and British bombers relentlessly pounded Germany’s cities day and night. Yet, the plotters—chief among them, Claus Schenk, Graf con Stauffenberg—were determined to make one last effort to rid their country of the megalomaniacal dictator who was responsible for its downfall. In Countdown to Valkyrie, Nigel Jones offers a taut account of what transpired on July 20th, 1944, but his story begins long before that fateful day. While focusing on the military conspiracy concealed under the codeword “Valkyrie”—the simultaneous assassination of Hitler and a takeover by a mixed civilian-military government—Jones shows us how the plot was the culmination of years of failed attempts to kill Hitler. Although Count von Stauffenberg entered the conspiracy later than others, Jones uses this central figure as the pivot for the entire story. In a tautly constructed chronological narrative, Jones takes us from Stauffenberg’s youth to the Nazis’ rise to power to the road to war, and shows us how the first stirrings of discontent among Hitler’s minions led to numerous plots against the Fuhrer by the Abwehr, the Army and various civilians. Most movingly, he chronicles the struggle of loyal Nazis who—however loyal to the Fuhrer they might have been—eventually turned against him when their consciences could no longer allow them to sit idly by as millions of innocent lives were consumed by the Nazi death machine. Beyond the pull of conscience, Jones also details the impossible choices these men faced as they contemplated bringing down the full vengeance of the Nazis—indeed, of the entire German nation—upon them. Facing arrest, imprisonment, torture and certain execution, the plotters nonetheless went ahead with their plan. Jones’ treatment of the events of July 20th, 1944, form the core of the narrative, and his pulse-pounding account of that day—from Stauffenberg’s arrival at Hitler’s Field Headquarters in northern Poland, armed with a briefcase containing two small bombs, to the detonation that failed to kill the Fuhrer—is truly gripping. In the end, Countdown to Valkyrie is much more than an engrossing narrative of a key episode in World War II history. It is a testament to the courage of a few genuine heroes who, in the author’s words, “may have failed to kill Hitler, but in the mere fact of making the attempt these brave men snatched the soul of their tortured country from the pit—and saved it.

She grew up at Sugar Beach, a 22-room mansion by the sea with ample room for her parents to adopt a foster child named Eunice. But on April 12, 1980, Helene’s childhood was cut short by a bloody military coup. In that moment, the bliss of her early years was upended by vicious brutality against the Congo class, leaving all the country’s rulers dead and countless others hunted, tortured, raped and murdered. The violence forced her family to flee Liberia for America—leaving their foster daughter, Eunice, behind. Years later and a world away, Helene became a respected journalist, reporting from every part of the globe except Africa, but a near-death experience in Iraq in 2003 convinced her that Liberia—and Eunice—could wait no longer.

Victor Frankenstein had once envisioned a world of superhumans—a perfect blend of man and machine. His creations have now come to life and they are about to bring on a horrific reality. The survival of humanity now rests in the hands of five people who know that the madness must be stopped once and for all. Detectives Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison; Victor’s engineered wife, Erika 5, and her companion Jocko; and Victor’s first creation, the tormented Deucalion, have all arrived at a small Montana town where their alliance will be tested by forces from within and without, and where the dangers they face will eclipse any they have yet encountered. Yet in the midst of their peril, love will blossom, and they will discover sources of strength they could not have imagined. They will need all these resources, and more. For a monumental battle is about to commence that will require all their ingenuity and courage, as it defines what we are to be…and if we are to be at all.

Kehn, Jr. Publisher: Motorbooks International Publishers, January 02, 2009 Review: On the morning of March 1, 1942, the destroyer USS Edsall—under orders to deliver Army Air Force fighter crews to the beleaguered island of Java—split off from her sister ship, the USS Whipple and the tanker USS Pecos, never to be seen again by Allied forces. Donald M. Kehn’s A Blue Sea of Blood explores the mystery of the Edsall’s disappearance, and the discovery of her crew’s remains on the Indonesian island of Celebes—an area known for numerous alleged Japanese war crimes. By telling the story of the Edsall, from her wide-ranging pre-war career to the curious uses to which her story was put, A Blue Sea of Blood redresses six decades of official indifference to uncover a significant chapter missing from the history of World War II.

The Hypnotist Lars Kepler Publisher: FSG, May 03, 2011 Review: A triple homicide has Sweden on edge, and with the killer still at large, Detective Inspector Joona Linna’s only lead is one of the intended victims—the boy who saw his family killed before his eyes. But severely wounded and in a state of shock, he’s in no condition to be questioned. Desperate for information, Linna enlists Dr. Erik Maria Bark to hypnotize the boy, hoping for some insight on the killer. It’s the sort of work that Bark had sworn he would never do again—ethically dubious and psychically scarring—and when he breaks his vow and hypnotizes the boy, a terrifying chain of events begins to unfurl…. An international bestseller, Lars Kepler’s The Hypnotist is a revelation, filled with twists that you’ll never see coming.

This shared experience unites them in ways they could have never imagined. A funhouse mirror version of Coupland’s classic debut, Generation X, the novel explores brave new ways to tell a story in this increasingly digital world.

Grandiose, ambitious and fantastically entertaining, this could just be Coupland’s crowning achievement.

Days of Gold Jude Deveraux Publisher: Atria Books, December 29, 2009 Review: Days of Gold, the second book in Jude Deveraux’s multigenerational Edilean series, is a dazzling tale that unfolds in 1776 Scotland. There we meet Angus McTern, the only man in his town, it seems, not besotted by the newly arrived niece of Neville Lawler, the despised Englishman who stole his family estate. That’s not to say the ruggedly handsome laird doesn’t find feisty young Edilean Talbot extremely desirable. When Angus learns of a plot by Edilean’s odious uncle to steal her inheritance, he doesn’t hesitate to come to her rescue, only to discover that in helping her escape, he is now wanted for kidnapping and theft. Deveraux’s return to the sweeping historical romance beloved by her fans couldn’t be more breathtaking or exciting. Upon discovering Edilean’s family treasure has secretly been stowed onboard a ship bound for America, and knowing Angus, suddenly a fugitive, cannot return home, what choice do either of them have but to set sail for a new country? But while the journey is fraught with one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another, once there, Angus and Edilean will soon discover a love as wild and free as the land itself.

Mary Johnson was a 17-year-old innocent when a photo of Mother Teresa inspired her to enter a convent in the South Bronx, a far cry from her Texas roots. Not without difficulty did the newly named Sister Donata adapt to a life of sacrifice. She continually grappled with a faith that oftentimes was at odds with her heart, which led her into an illicit passion for a priest—just one of the eye-opening controversies in Mary’s memoir. Another is her complicated relationship with Mother Teresa, a woman who earned both her love and disappointment. An Unquenchable Thirst is a story of self-discovery as Mary struggled to choose her own path—and find love.

Written just as the Slaughterhouse-Five author was starting to find his comic voice, these long-buried feasts feature tales both cautionary and hopeful, from a family that foolishly confides its deepest secrets into a magical invention to a quack psychiatrist who concocts a novel new outlet for his paranoid patients. These are the works of a master coming into his own, and the world he creates—manic, menacing, absurd, yet inarguably humanistic—could come from no one else but Vonnegut. These tales are penetrating snapshots of post-World War II America, a landscape defined by rapidly developing technology, unexpected affluence and a murky moral ambiguity. An unexpected gift for readers who thought Vonnegut’s unique voice had been stilled forever, this beautiful volume features an illuminating foreword by author and longtime Vonnegut sidekick Sidney Offit, and even comes illustrated with a number of the author’s characteristically insouciant line drawings.

Things are going pretty well for her in the romance department, and her bakery’s heavenly creations are selling almost as fast as she can bake them. Even her good friend Claire is on cloud nine with her new husband, Reverend Bob Knudson. When Bob’s childhood friend, Matthew Walters, comes to town, it seems like divine intervention. Matthew, like Bob, is a Lutheran minister with a stubborn sweet tooth. Since he’s on sabbatical, Matthew is happy to fill in for Bob while he and Claire take that long-awaited honeymoon. It sounds like the perfect plan—until Hannah finds Matthew in the rectory, facedown in one of Hannah's confections, a single bullet in his head. In Devil’s Food Cake Murder, Joanne Fluke mixes all the ingredients for a delectable mystery, as Hannah sets out to find Matthew’s killer. It isn't long before she discovers that the good Reverend wasn’t quite the saint he appeared to be. Is his murder tied to the gold coins in the collection plate or a jewel heist in Minneapolis?

BUY NOW!!! ========================= Independence The Struggle to Set America Free John Ferling Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Inc, June 28, 2011 Review: Review by Lucas A. Powe, Jr. The Revolutionary War, initiated at the battles of Concord and Lexington, had been going on for 15 months before the Continental Congress declared independence. For most of that period the colonists were not fighting for independence; they were fighting to be reunited with Great Britain on American terms (a return to the pre-1763 policy of benign neglect). If there had been a vote on independence in January 1776, eight of the colonies would likely have voted no—which probably matched the desires of their residents. Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free, John Ferling’s superb new book, offers the best description of how American independence came to be under circumstances where neither the mother country nor (at least in 1775) a majority of the colonists wished that outcome. It is a story of contingency, patience, shrewdness, ambitions and blunders. The guts of Ferling’s story cover a period of less than three years. His starting point is the Boston Tea Party (although he briefly notes events from the Stamp Act to the Declaratory Act to the Townsend Duties) and the end is the Declaration of Independence (although, again, he briefly extends the narrative). Among the wonderful assets of the book are the very short (a couple of paragraphs) biographies of the protagonists. They are both incisive and illuminating. There is a split focus between London and North America. On the British side the dominant position, fully supported by George III, was that Britain could not be indecisive and that the Empire could only be preserved by bringing the colonists to heel. Edmund Burke, Charles James Fox and others argued, unsuccessfully to the contrary, that a sincere offer of imperial reform could have prevented (it surely would have delayed) American independence. Burke famously asserted that the policies of Lord North’s ministry “drove them into the declaration of independency; not as a matter of choice, but necessity. On the American side a majority wished to reconcile with Great Britain and their beloved king but only on American terms. Had those who wanted “Independence Now” pushed too hard or too early they likely would have failed. From 1774 to the spring of 1776 “all the great critical questions” decided by the Continental Congress were done by the narrowest of margins. Those who wanted independence, especially the Massachusetts delegates, successfully walked a tightrope of pushing but neither too hard nor too far—until it was time. As Sandy Levinson and I have noted in reviews over the past two years, we are going through an explosion of terrific books on America in the last half of the 18th century. John Ferling’s Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free ranks with the best of them. BUY NOW!!! ========================= The Love Revolution Change Your World...Refuse to Do Nothing Joyce Meyer Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA, September 22, 2009 Review: This book is dangerous. It will change everything you’ve ever thought about love. Joyce Meyer’s The Love Revolution is not a call to action; it’s a call to being…being the person who helps a friend in need…the person who helps a stranger in need…the person who practices bold acts of kindness. We know it as the Golden Rule. Jesus called it the Greatest Commandment: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself...do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The personal stories and insights into The Love Revolution from Joyce and contributors—Darlene Zschech, Martin Smith, Pastors Paul Scanlon, Tommy Barnett and John Maxwell—will ignite you with a passion to change your life and your world. The Love Revolution is an exciting guide on how to bring to life Christ’s basic message. Joyce examines what will happen if we each decide that we will refuse to live only for ourselves and take on the challenges of others. Taking a global view, she addresses such issues as domestic violence and hunger and provides actions we can take to participate in the solutions to these world-wide crises. Join The Love Revolution—you’ll be walking closer with Jesus than ever before.

Zelizer Publisher: Times Books Div Random House Inc, September 14, 2010 Review: Jimmy Carter rose to national power through mastering the strategy of the maverick politician. But running as an outsider was easier than governing as one, as historian Julian E. Zelizer shows in this examination of Carter’s presidency. Once in power, Carter faced challenges sustaining a strong political coalition—and by 1980, he stood alone in the Oval Office as he confronted a battered economy, soaring oil prices, American hostages in Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Carter’s unpopularity enabled Ronald Reagan to achieve a landslide victory, but during Carter’s post-presidential career, he has emerged as an important voice for international diplomacy and negotiation, remaking his image as a statesman for our time.

Star Wars®: Death Troopers Joe Schreiber Publisher: Del Rey, October 13, 2009 Review: Prepare yourself to venture someplace very new and very scary in a galaxy far, far away, with the release of Star Wars®: Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber—the first-ever Star Wars horror novel, featuring a special cover with a full-color poster printed on the reverse side! From the first appearance of Darth Vader in the groundbreaking movie Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars fans have known what terror feels like—and we loved it. But never before has Star Wars ventured into the unknown territory of true horror...until now. When the Imperial prison barge Purge breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope seems to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back—bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours, nearly all aboard the Purge will die. And death is only the beginning. Nothing can prepare them for what awaits them aboard the Star Destroyer, amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn’t really empty at all. For the dead are rising, soulless, unstoppable and unspeakably hungry. BUY NOW!!! ========================= The Gamble General Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-2008 Thomas E. Ricks Publisher: Penguin Group USA, February 10, 2009 Review: With his New York Times bestseller, Fiasco, Thomas E. Ricks transformed the political dialogue about the war in Iraq. With The Gamble, Ricks draws on exclusive interviews with top officers in Iraq and extraordinary on-the-ground reportage to document the inside story of the war since late 2005, as the military was forced to reckon with itself, the surge was launched and a very different war began. As Ricks shows us, many top U.S. officials now in Iraq actually opposed the 2003 invasion, and almost all are severely critical of how the war was fought from then through 2006. At the core of the story is General David Petraeus, many of whose closest advisers doubted that the surge would have any effect. Petraeus’ own boss was so skeptical that he dispatched an admiral to Baghdad to come up with a new strategy altogether. Ultimately, for Petraeus, victory in Iraq means extending the war—a war, Ricks contends, likely to last another five to ten years. Most startlingly, Ricks concludes that the events for which the Iraq War will be remembered have not yet even happened. Frank, unvarnished and full of insider details, The Gamble is a bold assessment of a war seemingly without end.

Good Morning America states that natural blondes will be extinct within 200 years. Political pundits report that a Tea Party rally attracted a million people despite the fact that roughly 60,000 attended. False claims like these show that numbers can be a powerful weapon. As Charles Seife teaches in Proofiness, phony data, invalid statistics and bad math can make even the most outrageous falsehoods appear to be true. Proofiness, which Seife defines as “the art of using bogus mathematical arguments to prove something that you know in your heart to be true, even when it’s not,” pervades our society, and this delightful book showcases a myriad of categories. For example, there are the fabricated statistics Seife dubs Potemkin numbers, such as the claim that a mascara gives eyelashes “twelve times more impact.” There is disestimation, the act of taking a number too literally, understating or ignoring the uncertainties that surround it. One example occurred in October 1999, when UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan identified a young Bosnian boy as “the six billionth person on Earth.” A third variety of proofiness is cherry-picking, choosing data that support the argument you wish to make while ignoring the rest. According to Seife, Vice President Al Gore did this in his movie An Inconvenient Truth by sketching a scenario based on the very worst estimates of sea-level rise. Elsewhere in this study, Seife shows how everything from scientific research studies published in top journals to national political elections can be distorted by proofiness. Proofiness vividly demonstrates the extent to which numbers can fool people into believing anything.
