Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 607
Book Description
Now in one volume—the first three New York Times bestsellers starring a Cold War–era CIA superspy. Following the rules kept Blackford Oakes alive when he was an air force pilot during World War II, and it kept him in line as a student at Yale. But as a CIA agent, he knows that sometimes rules need to be broken . . . Saving the Queen: It’s 1952 and Oakes tackles his first assignment in London. He must uncover a spy within Buckingham Palace and protect the young queen from assassination. Stained Glass: In this National Book Award winner, Oakes must silence a righteous nationalist stirring up trouble in East Germany, because failure to do so could push the United States and the USSR into World War III. Who’s on First: The Hungarian Uprising of 1956 erupts, leaving Oakes trapped in Budapest. He soon finds himself in a race to stop the Soviets from launching a satellite—before KGB spies put an end to him.

Pages : 318
Book Description
Charlie Ryder, half Native American Indian, had been the lone sentinel protecting his peaceful and remote Lone Lake and a serene and simple lifestyle until the arrival of the Madison family. And then, he befriended Benjamin Madison, a strange boy about his age, and thirty-two years ago, while battling over one flirtatious girl at a teen bonfire party beside the lake in 1968, a series of events began that would cement their deadly secret. One, two.finally eight missing girls over the years, beginning in the late sixties-swallowed up at Lone Lake without a trace, without a single bone fragment, without a clue as to who was removing these young girls from rural New Hampshire. Every one of them, during their final hours, had last been seen at the lake. And then came one curious writer who chose Lone Lake as the place to relax and finish her latest novel. The story she started out with soon became the story that is about to unfold. Never in her life would Janet Travis have thought she was about to be written into her own storyline or imagine what would ultimately be the cost.

The Story of My Father
Author: Sue Miller
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0307432661
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In the fall of 1988, Sue Miller found herself caring for her father as he slipped into the grasp of Alzheimer's disease. She was, she claims, perhaps the least constitutionally suited of all her siblings to be in the role in which she suddenly found herself, and in The Story of My Father she grapples with the haunting memories of those final months and the larger narrative of her father's life. With compassion, self-scrutiny, and an urgency born of her own yearning to rescue her father's memory from the disorder and oblivion that marked his dying and death, Sue Miller takes us on an intensely personal journey that becomes, by virtue of her enormous gifts of observation, perception, and literary precision, a universal story of fathers and daughters. James Nichols was a fourth-generation minister, a retired professor from Princeton Theological Seminary. Sue Miller brings her father brilliantly to life in these pages-his religious faith, his endless patience with his children, his gaiety and willingness to delight in the ridiculous, his singular gifts as a listener, and the rituals of church life that stayed with him through his final days. She recalls the bitter irony of watching him, a church historian, wrestle with a disease that inexorably lays waste to notions of time, history, and meaning. She recounts her struggle with doctors, her deep ambivalence about many of her own choices, and the difficulty of finding, continually, the humane and moral response to a disease whose special cruelty it is to dissolve particularities and to diminish, in so many ways, the humanity of those it strikes. She reflects, unforgettably, on the variable nature of memory, the paradox of trying to weave a truthful narrative from the threads of a dissolving life. And she offers stunning insight into her own life as both a daughter and a writer, two roles that swell together here in a poignant meditation on the consolations of storytelling. With the care, restraint, and consummate skill that define her beloved and best-selling fiction, Sue Miller now gives us a rigorous, compassionate inventory of two lives, in a memoir destined to offer comfort to all sons and daughters struggling-as we all eventually must-to make peace with their fathers and with themselves.
