When Eagles Soared

Nick Lewis

Sinopsis

As the Vietnam War rages, a young coach tries to teach a struggling grade-school football team about winning, losing, and the importance of honor . . .   As the Osborne family gathers to celebrate young Lou’s college graduation in 1970, his future is uncertain. He could be sent to Vietnam like his friend Manny—who’s now back home—suffering every day from his experience overseas. After Lou is spared from the same fate, he wonders at his luck, but embraces a hopeful new future as he accepts a job as a teacher and football coach at an Ohio elementary school.   He has his work cut out for him, though. The Eidsonville Eagles have never had a winning season. Now, as he navigates his growing relationship with his girlfriend, his concern for Manny, and the turbulence of the times, he must power through obstacles and challenges to bring a ragtag group of seventh and eighth graders together and teach them to be the best they can be, win or lose . . .   Based on the author’s own memories and experiences of the era, When Eagles Soared takes us back to a time of both innocence and tension, when rock and roll rang through the air, young men of draft age lived under a cloud of anxiety, and a nation struggled to hold on to hope for a better future.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

It was supposed to be the best night of her life.

Selene Carter was ready for Prom but her supposed prince charming had abandoned her the second the bond with his true mate clicked into place.

A kiss under the mistletoe.

One touch. One kiss. And the world shattered.

They took her innocence, stripped away the control she held over her own body, and reveled in the way she trembled beneath them. Their dominance was unrelenting. And they weren’t finished.

They wanted more.

They were obsessed with her sweetness, her purity her innocence.

But she doesn’t belong in their world. She’s not the kind of woman they should want. Yet, as the Blood Moon rises, and as dark secrets about her own hidden power unfold, Selene finds herself torn between the man-made world she’s always known and the dangerous, intoxicating world of the Triplet Alphas. A power that binds her to them in ways she never imagined.

And Selene? She’ll have to choose. The life she’s always known or the Alphas who’ll never let her go.
