Games of Flesh and Fire

Camelia Bleu

Sinossi

An American agent posing as a free-lance entrepreneur sells to a European crime lord plans for a Thorium reactor ostensibly stolen from the wreckage of a Russian transport. The crime lord, in turn, sells the plans that will transform the economy of an impoverished nation and alleviate tensions leading to war, but the gift-horse is not looked in the mouth, as the expression goes, but is transformed into a Trojan Horse engineered to bring down the most powerful nation in the world. For all involved, there is hell to pay for betrayal and deceit, and lessons to be learned about love and hatred.

The Sky Fisherman - A Novel

Craig Lesley

With his third novel, Craig Lesley comes into his own as an important American writer.

Laced with the solace of the great outdoors and the spirituality of the Indians on the local reservation, The Sky Fisherman is set in a small town in the Northwest, where the interwoven currents of love, death, and a boy's coming of age flow swiftly below a surface life of hard work and confrontation with the forces of nature. The boy, Culver, his twice-married mother, and his charismatic uncle Jake are shadowed by the death of Culver's father in a fishing accident. When a suspicious fire destroys the town mill and three murders occur, Culver's world is engulfed by the dangers swirling around him.
