  Innocence stolen in one heartless moment. No rest until they've delivered a reckoning... 
  Arizona Territory, 1867. Eleven-year-old Audie DeVine is thrilled to accompany his little brother Shane and missionary father deep into the Wild West. After making friends in an Apache camp, their world explodes when the Indian-hating US Cavalry arrives on the horizon. Audie can only hide and watch as the army brutally massacres the natives--and his father. 
  Nine-year-old Shane DeVine believed his dad may as well have been God's personal messenger. But with his faith shattered by rivers of blood, any thoughts of divine mercy are consumed by his cold fire of hatred. Remaining with Audie and what's left of their Apache allies, Shane swears to make those responsible pay for the devastating crime. 
  As the brothers mature and find an emotional outlet in music, they unexpectedly achieve fame and fortune in saloons across the frontier. But where Shane can drown his anger in whiskey and women, Audie seethes with an unquenchable lust for retribution. And a dual life as notorious musicians and secret vigilantes may be their undoing. 
  Will Audie and Shane exact justice before their internal demons drive them to Hell? 
  The DeVine Devils is a powerful story of Wild West grit and determination. If you like colorful characters, toughness born from tragedy, and moral dilemmas that still ring true today, then you'll love award-winning songwriter Jeremy Spillman's dusty tale of revenge.

  Three novels of life at sea during World War II from the bestselling author of The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and A Summer Place. Drawing on his own experiences as a US Coast Guard officer, Sloan Wilson sheds a unique light on World War II in these three unforgettable novels.  Voyage to Somewhere: Hoping to draw a nice, lengthy shore duty after two years at sea, Lieutenant Barton is instead told that he’s being sent right back out, this time as captain of a supply ship sailing from California to New Guinea and stopping at every small island in between. Despite being homesick for his wife, he has no choice but to accept the assignment and a cargo of pineapples destined for Hawaii. When Barton isn’t battling gale-force winds and monstrous waves, he’s coping with seasick sailors and budding rivalries that threaten to turn mutinous. Hanging over the ship like a storm cloud is the knowledge that the world is at war and the enemy is never far away. “One of the few honest and straightforward sea books that have come out of the war” (New York Herald Tribune).Pacific Interlude: Twenty-five-year-old Coast Guard lieutenant Sylvester Grant, a veteran of the Greenland Patrol, has just been given command of a small gas tanker carrying extremely flammable cargo across dangerous stretches of the Pacific Ocean. As the Allies prepare to retake the Philippines, Grant and his crew must bring two hundred thousand gallons of high-octane aviation fuel to shore. From below-deck personality clashes to the terrifying possibility of an enemy attack, from combating illness and boredom to the constant stress of preventing a deadly explosion, the crew of Y-18 must learn to work together and trust their captain—otherwise, they might never make it home. “Powerful, passionate and authentic . . . Unforgettable” (James Dickey, author of Deliverance).  Ice Brothers: After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Paul Schuman, a college senior and summer sailor, enlists in the Coast Guard and is assigned to be the executive officer aboard the Arluk, a converted fishing trawler patrolling the coast of Greenland for secret German weather bases. Led by Lt. Cdr. “Mad” Mowry, the finest ice pilot and meanest drunk in the Coast Guard, Schuman and communications officer Nathan Greenberg battle deadly icebergs, dangerous blizzards, and menacing Nazi gunboats. Surviving the war will require every ounce of courage and intelligence they possess—and that’s before Mowry breaks, forcing the young officers to take command at the worst possible moment. “The best since The Caine Mutiny” (San Francisco Chronicle).
