 stock image, actual book may vary In the smash bestselling autobiography "Rogue Warrior," Richard Marcinko chronicled his controversial thirty-year career in the U.S. Navy's elite maritime commandos, the SEAL teams. Marcinko rose through the ranks to create and command the Navy's legendary counterterrorist unit, SEAL TEAM SIX, scoring vitories against enemies all over the globe.Pleased with his success, the chief of Naval Operations ordered him to create RED CELL -- a dirty-dozen team of SEALs whose mission was to infiltrate the Navy's most secure installations. Marcinko did his job too well. No Navy base was safe -- no commander's billet secure. His reward was a year in a federal penitentiary. During that year, Marcinko and John Weisman wrote "RogueWarrior." But, bound by government restrictions on classified information, Marcinko was only able to tell a fraction of his incredible story. The tales he could not tell, the secrets he could not reveal, now explode on the page as the Rogue Warrior returns in the blockbuster suspense novel of the year -- a novelwith him as the hero He is the enemy's worst nightmare, living by the untimate commandment of unconventional warfare -- win, by any means.He is brash, brazen, and possessed equally of a killer charm and the capacity to become a stone-cold killer.As "ROGUE WARRIOR II: RED CELL" begins, Dick Marcinko is a freelance security consultant, playing terrorist at Tokyo's Narita Airport. Easily penetratingthe facility's defenses, he engages in a deadly firefight with North Korean operatives --and makes a discovery that plunges him into a secret war for America's national security. Financed by traitorous Americans, smugglers are transferring nuclear materials toNorth Korea through Japan. Former Secretary of Defense Grant Griffith, a behind the scenes power in the Pentagon, believes that only the Rogue Warrior can stop the operation; he convinces the Navy to recall Marcinko involuntarily to command RED CELL. Marcinko is a legent to the SEALs of RED CELL, and they're willing to follow him into hell -- to go anywhere and do anything to crush those who would betray America for a price. From infiltrating Washington's Navy Yard offices and the Navy's top-secret nuclear weapons depot in Seal Beach, California, to raiding a North Korean Navy base in the most heavily guarded harbor in Asia, to a final assault on a target far out in the Pacific, the Rogue Warrior and his marauding SEALs fight incredible odds and increasingly dangerous enemies.And, as time runs out, "ROGUE WARRIOR II: RED CELL" races to its electrifying climax.

 stock image, actual book may vary "For centuries to come, this book will inspire imaginative people. Beyond all doubt, it will be an ingredient of future poetry." Rebecca West "It may be read with a great deal of simple enjoyment and then it sticks like a splinter in the mind." Angela Carter "It seems to me a perfect, utterly original novel, and no one but a poet could have written it The book is totally idiosyncratic and yet there isn't a line you couldn't identify yourself with." Harry Mathews Miss M., the narrator of these fictional memoirs, is a diminutive young woman though just how diminutive, the author never says with a "passion for shells, fossils, flints, butterflies, and stuffed animals." Miss M. tells of her early life as a dreamy orphan and, in particular, of her tempestuous twentieth year in which she falls in love with a beautiful and ambitious full-sized woman and is courted by a male dwarf. Concluding that she must choose either to simply tolerate her difference or grow callous to it, Miss M. resolves to become independent by offering herself up as a spectacle in a circus. "One of the strangest and most enchanting works of fiction ever written." Alison Lurie, from her foreword "De la Mare's masterpiece It acts upon the reader like a ghostly visitation, at once unsettling and revelatory." Washington Post "Here is a great book." New York Times Book Review "Sentences, pages, whole chapters cause us to catch our breath." Atlantic Monthly "After a long period of neglect de la Mare may be beginning to be seen as the remarkable writer that he is." John Bayley, New York Review of Books Walter de la Mare 1873 1956 wrote numerous novels, short stories, essays, and poems. He was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Memoirs of a Midget . Other major works include the children s novel, The Three Royal Monkeys , Henry Brocken , and The Return . His book Desert Islands is also available from Paul Dry Books. Alison Lurie is the author of many highly praised novels as well as two collections of essays on children s literature, Don t Tell the Grown-Ups and Boys and Girls Forever . She has taught children s literature and folklore at Cornell University for many years.

 stock image, actual book may vary Intense, powerful, and compelling, Matterhorn is an epic war novel in the tradition of Norman Mailer s The Naked and the Dead and James Jones s The Thin Red Line . It is the timeless story of a young Marine lieutenant, Waino Mellas, and his comrades in Bravo Company, who are dropped into the mountain jungle of Vietnam as boys and forced to fight their way into manhood. Standing in their way are not merely the North Vietnamese but also monsoon rain and mud, leeches and tigers, disease and malnutrition. Almost as daunting, it turns out, are the obstacles they discover between each other: racial tension, competing ambitions, and duplicitous superior officers. But when the company finds itself surrounded and outnumbered by a massive enemy regiment, the Marines are thrust into the raw and all-consuming terror of combat. The experience will change them forever. Written by a highly decorated Marine veteran over the course of thirty years, Matterhorn is a spellbinding and unforgettable novel that brings to life an entire world both its horrors and its thrills and seems destined to become a classic of combat literatu

 stock image, actual book may vary From the New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art. This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs, deep underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recount their stories and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former USSR face violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts. In stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a sense of history reverberating into the present, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating work from one of our greatest new talents.

Enduring the hardships of poverty and slave labor, he is discovered by Aurelius, a retired, Roman general who mourns the loss of his nephew and lover, Germanicus. The smitten Aurelius barters for the young Kebryn's freedom and takes him from the barren, desert dwelling of his rearing into the lavish, marble halls of Alexandria. Aurelius' villa is located within the Ptolemaic compound, once inhabited by Cleopata VII. Now, immersed in the influence of the new Roman-Egyptian world, Kebryn will rise from ignorant peasantry to cultured aristocracy. The price for such a privilege, however, is the sacrifice of his natural progression into Manhood.

 stock image, actual book may vary Dashing career soldier and ladies' man, Captain Daniel Rawson is always up for an adventure. So when the Duke of Marlborough proposes a dangerous undercover mission, Rawson happily accepts. One of their spies, a Dutch tapestry-maker based at the court of Louis XIV, the Sun King, has gone missing and Daniel is instructed to find out what has happened to the man. Meanwhile Rawson s stalwart Sergeant Welbeck is left in the camp with complications of his own. His wide-eyed nephew has joined the army as a drummer boy in pursuit of honor and glory. Welbeck would like nothing more than to ignore this eager young boy, but circumstances are conspiring to make this impossible. Furthermore, as opportunities to prove his victory at Blenheim more than a fluke are becoming scarce, the Duke himself is also coming under fire, while the Dutch are increasingly loath to play their part in such a costly war, making demands that are costing the British vital victories. With daring exploits and all the drama of the battle of Ramillies, the second in the Captain Rawson series is a worthy follow-up to the explosive success of Soldier of Fortune.
