Imprint: Back Bay Books, 1999 Matthias Lane is the proud gatekeeper to countless objects of desire, the g reatest among them being T.S. Eliot's letters to Emily Hale. Now in his lat e 60s and archivist at an unnamed East Coast university, Matthias is-- as on e of his colleagues tells him--"exceptionally well defended." He's intent o n keeping the Hale collection equally remote, and when a young poet first s eeks access, Matthias rebuffs her with little difficulty. Still, Roberta Sp ire does remind him of his wife, Judith, who had also written poetry but ha d committed suicide 20 years earlier. And he is much taken with the student 's self-possession: "Pleading never works with me," he concedes, "but authe ntic and angry self-interest does.", Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000014960.

Imprint: Faber & Faber, 1993 The protagonist of Coomer's deliciously quirky and perceptive fourth novel (after A Flatland Fable ) is Lyman, 30, a lovable loner (he has never known his parents) who works nights for the Texas highway department, driving ar ound the Loop that circles Fort Worth. In this dark, endless orbit--a subtl y shifting metaphor for Lyman's own life--he aids stranded motorists, colle cts debris for his trophy collection and buries animals killed by cars. Whe n an aging but spry parrot with a beakful of cryptic sayings barges through the screen door of Lyman's trailer and upsets his routine, Lyman's deeper humanity is oddly stirred. He decides that finding "the owner behind the bi rd . . . would be akin to finding the message behind the universe." To this end he enlists the aid of Fiona, a sexy librarian at the college where he has enrolled in a potpourri of courses from French to furniture repair. Tog ether, they research parrots and try to track the sources of the bird's per plexingly hieratic utterances. The quest turns up surprises, not always the answers Lyman thinks he seeks. Increasingly when he returns to the nocturn al exitless Loop, he sees his beloved highway in a new light as a place of "aridity" and estrangement. Despite a jarringly abrupt switch to Fiona's vi ewpoint late in the narrative, the denouement both heartens and satisfies., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000003546. ISBN: 9780571198238

Imprint: Forge Books, 2002 Will the next war be fought in cyberspace? Stephen Coonts, author of the wa tershed military novel, Flight of the Intruder, offers this collection of 1 1 21st-century novellas for fans of contemporary and near-future military f iction. Technology is the binding element of Combat, and fans of Tom Clancy 's high-tech military espionage thrillers will find much to love, from ultr a-smart weapons to the technical infrastructure of the armed forces of the future. Don't expect hard core science fiction; the villains are of the mor e realistic variety: terrorists, rogue governments, and outlaw technology. Some of these stories are encumbered with a level of detail only the seriou s enthusiast will enjoy. (Dale Brown's "Leadership Material" has whole pass ages describing regs and paperwork that will bore all but the most ardent f ans of the genre.) Highlights include Harold W. Coyle's fast-paced "Cyberkn ights," the most likely candidate from this collection to become a big-budg et feature film., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000003478. ISBN: 9780812576153

Imprint: St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2004 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Deep Black, a super- secret subagency within the National Security Agency (and a figment of Coonts' and DeFelice's imaginations), is intended to give NSA some field capabilities. Operatives Charlie Dean and Tommy Karr appear in the process of rescuing an ambassador's daughter and are soon on the trail of an Algerian terrorist who possesses extensive knowledge of France, some sophisticated chemical explosives, and the plutonium from a miniature A- bomb. In the wake of an ordeal of her own in Korea, colleague Lia de Francesca soon joins Charlie and Tommy, while their boss, Reubens, fends off legal challenges that could endanger Deep Black's security. The suspense, action, knowledge of weapons and methods, and characterization are all up to par and frequently better, and the opposing sides are fairly well matched. The outcome remains uncertain right up to the final death duels on the Eiffel Tower and in the Chunnel, and for once a reasonably balanced depiction of the French is given to the often Francophobic thriller audience., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000018242.

Imprint: Pocket, 1987 With this well-crafted first novel, the publishers of The Hunt for Red Octo ber again demonstrate a sure eye for picking winners in the thriller genre. Jake Grafton is an A-6 Intruder pilot during the Vietnam War who flies his bomber on sorties past enemy flak and SAM missiles, and then must maneuver his plane, often at night, onto the relatively small deck of an aircraft c arrier. Former Navy flyer Coonts gives an excellent sense of the complexiti es of modern air raids and how nerve-wracking it is, even for the best airm en, to technically solve sudden problems over and over, knowing that even a twist of fatea peasant wildly firing a rifle from a fieldcould wipe out th e crew. Grafton alternates between remorse over the fate of his unseen Viet namese victims on the ground and a gung-ho "let's win this war" sentiment t hat lashes at both policymakers who select less- than-important targets for the dangerous missions and advocates for peace back in the States. The acti on, though, is realistically detailed and absorbing., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000003498. ISBN: 9780671640125

Imprint: St. Martin's Press, 1998 A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. This thriller by best-selling novelist starts off with a bang, not a whimper. The emperor of Japan, who has had some uncustomarily harsh words with his prime minister over Japan's role as a world power, is now the victim of a fanatical military group; these brazen but die-hard men break into the grounds of the Imperial Palace and assassinate--behead!--His Majesty. The emperor had been loathe to learn that his country not only possesses nuclear weapons but also has plans to invade Siberia for its oil reserves. Of course, the U.S. is drawn into the situation, and the stage is set for a World War III^-type conflagration. As is his trait, Coonts thoroughly grounds this swiftly paced narrative in the social, economic, and political conditions of the modern world., Fine/Fine Stock number: RWARE0000008626.

Imprint: St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1999 A modern military thriller. U.S. Colonel Cassidy and Jiro Kimura, a Japanes e fighter pilot, friends since they met at the Air Force Academy, find them selves on opposing sides of a highly charged political situation. Japanese radicals have taken over their country and hope to seize Siberian oil field s to help the failing Japanese economy. Sent to help the Russians, Cassidy and his team of American pilots try to avert a nuclear holocaust. Meanwhile , a Russian submarine inflicts damage on the Japanese coast. The stealthy e vents leading to the beheading of the Japanese emperor in the opening chapt er grab readers' attention. Intense action and the use of short sentences a nd fragments heighten the dramatic urgency and speed the plot along. There are numerous military details; however, it is possible to skim through them and still get to know the characters and follow the story. This fast read is a good introduction to adult military novels for teens, who will also le arn something of Japanese and Russian history from the cultural details wov en into the story., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000001668.

Imprint: Rodale Press, 1996 Many health and fitness books offer once-over-lightly health evaluations, g iving general information about getting your lifestyle in order and toning up your body a bit. Because all of these books work from the same universe of information--"Aerobic exercise gives you a stronger heart!" and "Resista nce training builds muscle tone!"--the only real difference is in how clear ly the authors explain the basics and how appealing they make the informati on. Low-Fat Living gets high marks on both counts. If you're in moderately good shape and try to watch your diet, you're not going to learn anything n ew here. But if you've let your health slide and you're starting to see the detrimental effects of doing so, this book is as good as any to help you g et on the right track., Fine/No DJ as Issued Stock number: RWARE0000008191.

Imprint: Transworld Publishers Limite, 1998 In the year 2002, the Brotherhood of the Second Coming scours the world for the new Messiah. This first novel uses a fanatical cult to whip popular fa ntasies about the millennium into a potent cocktail of high- tech science an d apocalypse. Just after receiving the Nobel Prize, geneticist Tom Carter i s attacked by a Brotherhood assassin who condemns his work as unnatural. To m is unharmed, but his wife, Olivia, dies. Using his own "Genescope," which decodes a human genetic map from a single cell, Tom discovers that his eig ht-year-old daughter, Holly, will be struck by brain cancer. Desperate to s ave Holly, Tom forms an uneasy alliance with the Brotherhood, which provide s a tooth of Christ so that Tom can extract "Nazarene" genes that may cure his daughter. In return, he's expected to give the Brotherhood data on who may be a match for the Messiah. Cordy provides some clever twists, plenty o f action and a whizbang climax; but the writing is bland and often careless in one goofy moment, "the lapsed Baptist crossed herself." The most interes ting character here is the Brotherhood assassin Maria, a beautiful, intelli gent young woman who chooses to become the merciless nemesis rather than th e healer she was born to be. Still, Cordy's debut is atmospheric enough and the new Messiah's probable identity is intriguing enough to keep pages tur ning until the last revelation., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000003177.
