  Walker's Key

  Haddleton's debut is a striking, multifaceted take on the family-secret novel.  In the year 1900, Darby Walker makes the trek across Florida's Tampa Bay from St. Petersburg; his brother Tulley's lighthouse has gone dark, and their father is dead under suspicious circumstances.  The timelines are split between this urgent present and the brothers' childhood, starting with Darby's birth in 1865.  These sections provide background on the bitter conflicts between gregarious, sensitive Darby and boundary-pushing, standoffish Tulley, but they also delve deeper into the Walker family's roots and its history on Cape Cod.  Haddleton's use of multiple time periods offers various perspectives on both Darby's and Tulley's backstories. Most strikingly, the novel outlines the life of the boys' grandfather Nathaniel, a staunch abolitionist who once helped to free slaves from Florida plantations.  Nathaniel's history in particular sets up powerful themes, connecting the family to the land and seas of Florida and Massachusetts as well as their participation in historical events and prejudices.  Some paths, like Nathaniel's, are heroic, but others contain dark chapters that pit brother against brother, foreshadowing Darby and Tulley's present-day conflict.  The nuanced exploration of these themes of compassion and strife would be enough to recommend the book, but it also drives the plot in the present as Darby questions Tulley about his role in their father's death. The writing here lends a strong sense of place to the proceedings, as do thorough -- but not overwhelming -- details on ships, lighthouses, and the sea ... With the initial murder mystery linking all these disparate elements together, this must-read novel maintains a consistent, compelling sense of tension and feeling.  A well-researched mystery punctuated by thrilling tension and deep emotion.  -- Kirkus Reviews

  A crazed terrorist looms high above the Earth, and pilot Hawk Hunter must take him down: “The best high-action thriller writer out there today, bar none” (Jon Land).   It’s been years since the Soviet Union used its last dying breath to rain nuclear annihilation upon the United States. Now, freedom’s greatest enemy is no longer the entire Russian government; it’s a single Russian man: Viktor Robotov, a demented genius, is an expert at inciting mayhem. Twice he has manipulated global politics to produce catastrophic wars, and twice the pilot Hawk Hunter has thwarted him. But Robotov’s latest scheme will force Hunter to fly higher than he ever has before—all the way to outer space. On a state-of-the-art Russian shuttle, Robotov launches himself into orbit, planning to collect the derelict laser satellites left over from the so-called Star Wars defense system. When he returns the satellites to Earth, he plans to shower death upon mankind. But he has to land first—and the Wingman will be waiting for him. Target Point Zero is the twelfth book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.
