  From the flag-draped presidential box, Abraham Lincoln watched the popular comedy on stage at the Ford Theater. As he laughed at a funny line--Bang! A single shot rang out from a small derringer, the sound barely audible over the laughter of the crowd. Abe slumped forward, blood running from behind his left ear.When President Lincoln died the next morning, the United States mourned as it had never mourned before. An assassin had killed the man who had led Americans through the bloody turmoil of the Civil War with an unswerving commitment to rebuilding a strong and united country.Abe Lincoln had never set his sights on becoming president; after all, he'd grown up in a log cabin on the frontier and had hardly any formal schooling. But as the quesion of slavery threatened to destroy the United Sates, this self-taught lawyer with a sharp mind and passion for justice found himself at the center of the greatest debate the nation had ever faced

  Strange Alliance - Allies Born...

  Doctor Spechaug has always believed he stands above the provincial town that surrounds his small college. He lectures on hysteria and abnormal behavior with clinical detachment, certain that reason is his armor. But one violent morning leaves blood on his cuffs and missing minutes in his memory, and suddenly the man who studies the mind is no longer certain of his own. 
  In the shadowed woods beyond town, he meets Edith Bailey, a brilliant, unsettling student who has been watching him more closely than he realized. She shares his contempt for the dull rhythms of Glen Oaks—and she shares something else. As their conversations deepen, so do the signs that their private fears are not symptoms at all, but revelations. When the townspeople close in with rifles and hatred, Spechaug must decide whether to cling to the last fragile threads of academic explanation or accept the brutal clarity of instinct. In Glen Oaks, superstition may be closer to the truth than scholarship ever was. 
  Bryce Walton built a career on sharp psychological tension and stories that strip away polite surfaces. His work appeared in magazines such as Galaxy Science Fiction, Amazing Stories, and Fantastic Universe, where he blended speculative ideas with intimate human unease. Walton also wrote for television and produced a large body of short fiction that often explored identity under pressure. Strange Alliance is a striking example of his ability to place educated minds in situations where intellect offers no refuge and instinct becomes the only honest guide.
