Hothouse Orichid - A new release by Stuart Woods.
Estimated Release Date: September 22, 2009
After years on the trail of an internationally wanted terrorist, the CIA thinks Special Agent Holly Baker might need a long vacation. So Holly returns to her hometown of Orchid Beach, Florida, where she had been a police chief for many years. With its sun-drenched beaches, crowded marinas, and luxurious oceanfront homes, it seems like the ideal coastal retreat. But a very unpleasant surprise awaits Holly. The police department now is entirely different from the one she commanded. An old danger Holly knows only too well has resurfaced, and her beloved hometown might not be the sanctuary she’d thought.
With his usual crackling action and irresistible sense of place, Hothouse Orchid is Stuart Woods at his best.
A Fiery Peace in a Cold War - A new release by Neil Sheehan.
Estimated Release Date: September 22, 2009
From Neil Sheehan, author of the Pulitzer Prize—winning classic A Bright Shining Lie, comes this long-awaited, magnificent epic. Here is the never-before-told story of the nuclear arms race that changed history–and of the visionary American Air Force officer Bernard Schriever, who led the high-stakes effort.
A Fiery Peace in a Cold War is a masterly work about Schriever’s quests to prevent the Soviet Union from acquiring nuclear superiority, to penetrate and exploit space for America, and to build the first weapons meant to deter an atomic holocaust rather than to be fired in anger. Sheehan melds biography and history, politics and science, to create a sweeping narrative that transports the reader back and forth from individual drama to world stage.

As a pastor’s kid, it’s hard not to buy into the idea of the perfect family, a loving God, and amazing grace. But lately, Sam has a lot of reasons to doubt. Her mother lands in rehab after a DUI, and her father seems more interested in his congregation than his family. When a young girl in her small town goes missing, the local tragedy overlaps with Sam’s personal one, and the already worn thread of faith holding her together begins to unravel.
In her third novel, acclaimed author Sara Zarr examines the coexistence of affliction and hope, and what happens when everything you thought you believed–about God, your family, and yourself–is transformed.

When she returns after the show to the apartment where she and Benton live, she finds an ominous package—possibly a bomb—waiting for her at the front desk. Soon the apparent threat on Scarpetta’s life finds her embroiled in a surreal plot.
The Lost Symbol - A new release by John Irving.

Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them.
Near the end of this moving novel, John Irving writes: “We don’t always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly–as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth–the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives.”
