Acclaimed filmmaker Peter Jackson has snagged the film rights for this outstanding historical fantasy series. But while you’re eagerly awaiting the movie, indulge in the thrilling fifth novel by Campbell Award-winning author Naomi Novik. Captain Will Laurence had only done what he knew was right—seek and deliver the cure for the deadly disease ravaging the world’s dragon population. Now Napoleon has planted the eagle standard on British soil, and while London burns, neither Laurence, in jail for treason, nor his dragon, Temeraire, can respond. But just when all seems lost, Laurence’s prison ship is sunk by Napoleon’s fleet, and he is taken ashore near Dover, where he is released by order of Admiral Jane Roland. He must rendezvous with his dragon at the breeding grounds in Wales and resume service to Britain in its hour of need. Meanwhile, Temeraire rallies a motley band of dragons and militiamen into a resistance force to strike at the French as they press northward in pursuit of the royal family. Now the fugitive Laurence, his faithful winged companions, and an unproven fighting squad are England’s last, best hope to defy her conquerors and keep the empire free.

I’ll tell you straight out that I’d hoped to marry Faith Beckwith, but she ended the relationship last month, even though we’re both widowed. There were a few misunderstandings between us, some of them inadvertently caused by Megan. However, I’ve got plenty to keep me occupied, like the unidentified remains found in a cave outside town. And the break-ins at 204 Rosewood Lane—the house Faith happens to be renting. If you want to hear more, come on over to my place or to the sheriff’s office—if you can stand the stale coffee!

Rowling combined in the past five years, you must be doing something right. In fact, when you look up “bestselling author” in the dictionary there should be a photo of James Patterson next to it. And now he’s back with an all-new thriller introducing us to NYPD homicide detective Michael Bennett. When the former First Lady dies from an allergic reaction in one of New York City’s finest restaurants, the nation is stunned by this senseless accident. But it was no accident. It was murder planned by a criminal mastermind known only as “The Neat Man.” The First Lady’s death is only the precursor to her funeral at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral where “The Neat Man” plans to turn her high-profile (and rich) mourners into hostages. It’s up to Detective Bennett to diffuse the situation, but when the hostage takers kill a priest and threaten to blow up the church, his options are limited. Is this one case where the bad guys win? Do not start this new Patterson page-turner unless you have nothing else planned for the day, the night…or however long it takes you to ride this thriller to the won’t-see-it-coming end.

Forgotten Warriors T. X. Hammes Publisher: Univ. Press of Kansas, September 01, 2010 Review: When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the Marine Corps was ordered to deploy an air-ground brigade in less than ten days, even though no such brigade existed. Assembled from the understrength 1st Marine Division and 1st Marine Air Wing units, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade shipped out six days after activation, sailed to Korea, was in combat within ninety-six hours of landing and, despite these handicaps and numerically superior enemy forces, won all of its engagements and helped secure the Pusan Perimeter. Despite its achievements, the Brigade’s history has largely been lost amid accounts of the sweeping operations that followed. Its real history has been replaced by myths that attribute its success to tough training, great conditioning, unit cohesion and experienced officers. None of which were true. In Forgotten Warriors, T. X. Hammes reveals the real story, citing the Corps’ ability to maintain its ethos, culture and combat effectiveness during the period between World War II and Korea, when its very existence was being challenged. More than a mere battle history, Forgotten Warriors gets to the heart of Marine culture to show that fighting forces have to both remember and learn.

Soon Eph is swept up in a harrowing battle against a parasitic disease unlike any he has ever seen—an extinction event caused by an evil as old as time itself. His main ally: Abraham Setrakian, an elderly Armenian curio shop owner who understands the darkness that is descending—a devouring abomination known as The Master. Before the next sundown, a war of epic proportions will erupt as a vampiric strain ravages the city. And Eph, Setrakian and an odd mix of heroes are humanity’s only hope of stopping The Master’s unholy mission. Pray they succeed….

For many, these phenomena are evidence of a world just beyond our grasp, and for a group of scientists at Duke University, it was evidence that demanded investigation. Unbelievable reveals the history of the first attempts to prove—or disprove—the existence of the paranormal. What remained of the dead was elusive, especially to scientists who demanded proof. As letters poured in about mysterious voices or lost loved ones, the scientists, more often than not, had no answers. Stacy Horn illuminates the battle between die-hard believers and the scientists who held fast to the notion that the unseen world was worthy of further exploration. The truth is out there.

BUY NOW!!! ========================= World War One Norman Stone Publisher: Basic Books Inc., May 01, 2009 Review: Review by Robert A. Doughty Norman Stone has used his great understanding of World War I and his strong writing skills to produce an eminently readable, provocative survey of that huge war. Stone gained an international reputation with a book entitled The Eastern Front: 1914-1917, a book that remains one of the best works on the subject. Now living in Istanbul and teaching at Bilkent University, he wrote his short history of World War I in a room overlooking the Bosporus. That view, as well as his experiences in Turkey, apparently has influenced his thinking, for his recent historical work places great emphasis on the roles of European empires and Turkey in international events. Stone’s new view is obvious in his first chapter when he says very little about diplomatic events leading up to the war. Instead, he focuses on the European rivalry for empires and the inevitable clashes that rivalry brought. Stone believes Britain faced the fundamental choice of favoring either Germany or Russia and might have favored Germany had Berlin not threatened her with the German navy. He notes, “The last thing that Germany needed was a problem with Great Britain, and the greatest mistake of the twentieth century was made when Germany built a navy designed to attack her.” When the “inevitable accident” happened, the war became a world war. Stone covers the war chronologically and devotes a chapter to each year of the war. His narrative summarizes coherently the broadly separated events of each year and includes in the 1917 chapter, for example, the opposing sides’ efforts to end the war with a “knock-out blow.” For the Entente powers this included the Nivelle offensive for the French and the Passchendaele operation for the British, and for the Central Powers this included the resumption of submarine warfare and the development of new tactical methods that were first employed at Riga in September and then succeeded at Caporetto in October. After failing initially, the Italians, with support from the other Allies, finally managed to halt the enemy’s attack, and Stone offers a succinct explanation for their success: “The sensible Diaz succeeded Cadorna, and the Italian High Command stopped treating their soldiery as cattle. Readers who are familiar with Stone’s writing know he has a sharp wit and an impressive ability to synthesize complex issues. They will enjoy reading comments such as: “With the Ukraine, Russia is a USA; without she is a Canada—mostly snow.” Some readers will not agree with all of Stone’s observations. He avoids, for example, using the word “genocide” in his discussion of what happened to the Armenians. Instead, he says the treatment of the Armenians included “scenes of great cruelty” and several “well-documented massacres. In the final analysis, Stone’s short history of the world war reflects a level of scholarship and interpretation, as well as a writing style, that only the most distinguished and capable historians can achieve. While readers may not agree with all of Stone’s comments, they will agree that this is a very fine book.

Baker Publisher: Univ. Press Of New England, October 30, 2009 Review: In the first in-depth study of the most American of holidays, James Baker sweeps away lingering myths and misconceptions to show how this celebration was born and grew to be an essential part of our national spirit. Beginning with a look at Thanksgiving’s mythos and its religious and cultural precedents, Baker examines this classic Yankee holiday in historical and contemporary detail that embraces everything from proclamations, sermons, and local and regional traditions to family reunions, turkey dinners and recipes. Thanksgiving’s evolving face is illustrated with charming and often revealing period prints that chart our changing attitudes: the influence of Victorian sentiment in Thanksgiving’s development, Progressive utilitarianism, intellectual “debunking,” patriotic wartime reclamation and 1960s-era protest. And Baker also shows how Thanksgiving remains controversial up to the present day, as Mayflower descendants, Native Americans and commercial exploiters compete for the American public’s opinion of the holiday’s contemporary significance and its future status. Thanksgiving: The Biography of an American Holiday is an intelligent and illuminating introduction to a beloved celebration.

Moscow: December 25, 1991 The Last Day of the Soviet Union Conor O'Clery Publisher: Public Affairs, Mbr Of, August 23, 2011 Review: Review by Martin A. Miller Conor O’Clery has had a long and intimate association with Russia, as he tells us in the introduction to this deeply engaging narrative about the day the Soviet Union faded officially into what Trotsky long ago referred to (with entirely different objects in mind) as “the dustbin of history.” On the one hand, his wife’s Russian-Armenian family experienced much of what Soviet society in general lived through during the conflicted history of that regime. On the other, he was present during the final act of the Soviet Union’s political existence as a correspondent with extensive contacts at all levels, from doctrinaire Politburo members to striking coal miners. He has also traveled extensively through most of the former republics of the former USSR, compiling valuable material that has enriched this account in ways both tacit and explicit. The book is structured neatly along the real time trajectory from before dawn until the end of the evening on December 25th, with chapter intervals bringing in the details from earlier years during the lead-up to the final collapse of the governing apparatus. O’Clery focuses his story on the two combatants for control of central political power, Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. Their differences are clearly staked out and developed throughout the book and framed against the social context of a declining economy at home and a challenging array of Cold War problems internationally. Gorbachev emerged from the provinces in the south of Russia as a party loyalist and a strategically brilliant law student who combined a dedication to the ideological contours of Marxism-Leninism with a strong conviction that change and reform were necessary for the advancement of communism. Yeltsin, born a month earlier than Gorbachev in 1931, brought his Siberian village upbringing with him as he climbed up the ranks of the Sverdlovsk party hierarchy. Gorbachev never lost the irony behind the fact that it was he who brought Yeltsin to Moscow and empowered him as first secretary there to battle party corruption. As O’Clery makes evident, the two soon found each other acceptable mainly as antagonists. The author takes the reader through that last Soviet day, introducing a vast canvas of supporting cast members; there are 90 names listed in the Dramatis Personae section at the start of the book, whose roles in words and deeds are described in turn on that fateful day. The conclusion was already worked out by that time, but getting to the final moment involved many maneuvers. Gorbachev had promised more radical reforms, pleasing the West more than his people; Yeltsin, who notoriously functioned on very little sleep, concentrated on carefully placing his post-Soviet party allies into position for the transition. By the time Gorbachev actually presented his speech at 7 pm that evening, all the details of the power he was ceding to Yeltsin had been meticulously negotiated. In the end, the ideology which had inspired the creation of the world’s first socialist state mattered very little.

Kahn Publisher: Basic Books Inc., September 07, 2010 Review: Cities are the engines of economic growth and the foundation of our prosperity. But as Earth warms, what will become of them? In Climatopolis, Matthew Kahn argues that they will adapt to hotter temperatures along with their populations. Taking us on a tour of the world’s cities from New York to L.A., Beijing to Mumbai, he offers an ingenious vision of our urban future. By 2050, for example, San Diego’s sea level may rise 12 to 18 inches, and its average annual temperature may increase by 4.5° F. The region will require 37% more water although sources like the Colorado River will shrink 20% or more. The fire season will start earlier, and peak electricity demand will increase by more than 70%. Yet the problems faced by American cities are benign compared to those facing other regions. Climate change, says Kahn, is likely to increase urban density in the poorest parts of cities in less developed countries; this will bring with it the dangerous risk of contagion from infectious diseases such as cholera. Cities such as Dhaka, Jakarta, Manila, and Calcutta—each close to the sea, regularly hit with natural disasters, and already quite hot—may take the brunt of the blow. Despite dire predictions, Kahn is ultimately optimistic. Although it is too late to reduce the trend toward higher temperatures, he sees cities overall continuing to operate through the 21st century. A huge opportunity exists for innovation that can meliorate the worst effects of warming; he suggests that manufacturers of more efficient air conditioning technologies that require less electricity than needed at present stand to make fortunes, while the engineering of new seawalls may mitigate mass flooding. Climatopolis is a clear-eyed guide to the cities of tomorrow.

The Pleasure Garden Amanda McIntyre Publisher: Harlequin Books S.A., March 22, 2011 Review: The Pleasure Garden contains three erotic tales of magic rooted in a time when the exquisite May Queen defied her marriage vows and succumbed to seduction in the Green Man’s garden. Their illicit passion invoked a curse separating the pair through eternity. Unless, that is, three other couples give in to desire under the stars…. In Sacred Vows, Cara is a Celtic maiden who seduces a man she cannot have—a man bound for the priesthood. Perfumed Pleasures is the story of Catherine, the would-be lady of Fairfax House—if only she didn’t yearn for her betrothed’s cousin. In Rites of Passion, Emmaline inherits a house fallen to ruin.

BUY NOW!!! ========================= The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin What She Believes and What It Means for America Stephen Mansfield Publisher: Strang Communications Co., September 21, 2010 Review: Since Sarah Palin stepped onto the world stage as Republican vice-presidential nominee in 2008, we’ve also come to know her as small-town mayor, governor of Alaska, wife, mother and best-selling author. But to really understand Sarah Palin, it’s essential to understand her faith. In The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin, Stephen Mansfield and David Holland reveal the principles that influence her personal politics and what their implications hold for the Republican Party and the nation as a whole. The authors were given extensive access to Sarah’s pastors, advisors, friends and family and it has allowed them to capture the moving story of her faith, as well as the meaning of that faith for American politics and culture. BUY NOW!!! ========================= book report on scarlett letter guitar easy song book Bright-Sided How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America Barbara Ehrenreich Publisher: Metropolitan Books, October 13, 2009 Review: Americans have a reputation: we’re unusually chipper, boisterous, cheerful and upbeat. From a very young age, we’re taught that looking on the sunny side is more than just a temperament: it’s a great way to forge ahead in the world, the key to finding success and prosperity. What’s so bad about positive thinking? Plenty, says bestselling author Barbara Ehrenreich. On a personal level, it leads to self-delusion and wishful thinking. On a national level, it ushered in an era of irrational optimism, where rampant refusal to weigh negative outcomes—like mortgage defaults—resulted in economic disaster. A devastating critique of this cult of optimism, Bright-Sided does a superb job of tracing its strange history (it began in 19th-century mysticism) and poking holes in its pseudo-scientific tenets (like the notion that visualizing something can make it happen). Today, positive thinking is often prized over critical thinking. Why this happened—and how this mind-set is holding us back—is important reading. This is Ehrenreich at her mythbusting, provocative best, poking holes in conventional wisdom and faux science, and ending with a call for clarity, courage and good old-fashioned common sense.

One connection that can’t be missed is the one sizzling between Cindy and Lindsay’s rugged partner, Rich Conklin, as the women of the Murder Club join forces in The 8th Confession that confirms James Patterson as "America's #1 storyteller" (Forbes). BUY NOW!!! ========================= Death With Interruptions Jose Saramago Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Pub. Co., October 01, 2008 Review: In novels such as All the Names, The Cave and Blindness, Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago displayed unparalleled imagination, vision and clarity in exploring the way life on Earth is lived. But what about the way death on Earth is lived? In Death with Interruptions, Saramago addresses one of humanity’s biggest questions, the mystery of death, and answers it...by stopping it altogether. It’s New Year’s Day, and by the stroke of midnight it’s clear that something miraculous is happening: Nobody on Earth has died. As the days go by, the politicians and priests panic while the people celebrate and dance in the streets. But eternal life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Those with fatal illnesses are stuck dying with them forever. Life insurance policies aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Funeral homes shift their client base from people to pets. Meanwhile, in a lonely apartment, death (lowercase “d,” thank you) sits and observes the result of her experiment, her scythe and filing cabinets collecting dust. Now she has some big questions to answer: What will happen if death never kills again? And if she becomes human and falls in love, will death finally have a life worth living?
