CIA psychiatrist? Or Stella Kastner, a young Russian woman who
engages him to find her brother-in-law so he can give her sister a

In October Fury, a U.S. Navy officer shares his first-hand account
of the Cuban missile crisis. Using his own experiences as well as
the personal accounts and observations of U.S. and Soviet officers
and sailors, Peter Huchthausen transports us to the deadly center
of this showdown at sea, in which four Soviet submarines were
equipped with nuclear-tipped torpedoes. In a vividly detailed
narrative worthy of Tom Clancy, Huchthausen takes us on board the
U.S. destroyers and Soviet submarines, re-creating the all-too-real
events that brought the two superpowers to the very brink of mutual
annihilation. Thrilling, unsettling, and ultimately inspiring, this
extraordinary expose tells an unforgettable story of skill,
heroism, and dedication to duty.
Launched into existence by Mark Twain in 1835, Huck Finn and Jim
have now been transported by Norman Lock through three vital,
violent, and transformative centuries of American history. As time
unfurls on the river s banks, they witness decisive battles of the
Civil War, the betrayal of Reconstruction s promises to the freed
slaves, the crushing of the Native American nations, and the
electrification of a continent. Huck, who finally comes of age when
he s washed up on shore during Hurricane Katrina, narrates the
story as an older and wiser man in 2077, revealing our nation s
past, present, and future as Mark Twain could never have dreamed
it.
"The Boy in His Winter" is a tour de force work of imagination,
beauty, and courage that reenvisions a great American literary
classic for our time."
