Hombres de mar
by Óscar Colchado Lucio«El mar ya no es más la hembra paridora de antes. Ahora pare cocaína en vez de anchoveta. Los narcos, los pichicateros esos, se han apoderado del puerto. Los llamados ¿carteles de la droga? [...] están metidos acá como en su casa» "Con mano maestra, Óscar Colchado ha construido en Hombres de mar la saga de la memoria popular moderna del Perú, que en los trabajos de la pesca tiene su mejor metáfora #contrariada, paradójica# de nuestra modernización problemática, cuyo modelo costeño tiene su correlato en otras explotaciones de los recursos naturales, como de los minerales en la sierra y del petróleo o del gas en la selva. Esta ecuación de una naturaleza violentada por un sistema exacerbado de extracción produce la modernidad conflictiva del Perú. A partir de una representación tan verosímil que el lector puede tomar como real lo que es un trabajo de ficción, y cuyo lenguaje desgarrado va descubriendo su intimidad con la violencia, esta valerosa novela desnuda la fuerza destructiva de una modernización cuyos héroes son sus primeras víctimas. (...) el relato de las muchas vidas y muertes del pescador se levanta con su épica de pobres, su elegía de desconsuelos y su celebración del instante vivo. Por eso mismo, esta novela nos incluye en su espléndida saga y nos demanda decidir nuestro lugar en ese lenguaje peregrino, suma de voces migratorias, nuevo mapa peruano. Fresco de duras batallas y crueles trabajos, este libro late, también, con íntima furia amorosa..." (Julio Ortega)

Honor's Kingdom (A Novel of the Civil War)
by Ralph PetersMajor Abel Jones returns in &“a rich, lush portrait of a forgotten era . . . Honor&’s Kingdom is good history and even better storytelling&” (The Denver Post). In a stunning re-creation of 1860s London and Glasgow that reaches from the worst slums in Europe to the lobbies of Parliament, Owen Parry brings the past to ravishing life. Grotesque murders multiply as Major Abel Jones pursues a monstrous killer who may be a well-connected Confederate agent or a ghost from Jones&’s bloody past in India—or both. England&’s political leaders—including Benjamin Disraeli—appear to have a great deal to hide. Everyone seems determined to thwart Jones&’s search for justice—but are they interested in supporting the Confederacy, or in masking personal scandals? The threat of an ocean-spanning war hangs over each new crime as Jones struggles to find a rumored warship that would serve the Rebels as a wonder-weapon of the age—and stop it from sailing. From deeds of hellish darkness to acts of transcendent kindness, Honor&’s Kingdom speeds irresistibly from the opening sentence to a startling, shockingly logical, and unforgettable conclusion. &“The glee the author takes in the narrative voice of his staunchly Methodist hero is infectious, and he brings the era to vivid life.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Perry&’s beautifully written narrative encompasses the international scope of the Civil War conflict and never loses sight of the brutality of war and the deceitfulness of politics.&” —Booklist

Horehound Road
by Ethel M. HalsteadThe idea for this story came from an article I read in an Albuquerque newspaper: The story in the newspaper was about a hiker finding the remains of a corpse on a desert in Cochise county Arizona. At the time I wondered why a reporter even bothered to write up the story because someone is always finding skeletons and decomposed bodies in isolated parts of dry and hot deserts. Many of the bodies are those of illegal aliens crossing into the states looking for work, and while that is a very sad thing, it surely is not a rare thing, nor does it make truly interesting reading. But there was a follow up story stating that the body had been identified as a young attorney from Manhattan who had lived with a life-long dream of being a rancher/cowboy and owning a ranch in the great American west. There was no indication of foul play, so the man had likely died from heat exhaustion or snakebite. As for me, it really bothered me to think that the man died alone in the prime of his life, on an unforgiving desert, trying to follow his lifelong dream. It was then I began contemplating the idea of re-writing his story and letting him live out his dream as Jade McKaid, Cowboy, rancher, lawyer from Manhattan.

Hostage
by Elie WieselFrom Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate and author of Night, a charged, deeply moving novel about the legacy of the Holocaust in today's troubled world and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It's 1975, and Shaltiel Feigenberg--professional storyteller, writer and beloved husband--has been taken hostage: abducted from his home in Brooklyn, blindfolded and tied to a chair in a dark basement. His captors, an Arab and an Italian, don't explain why the innocent Shaltiel has been chosen, just that his life will be bartered for the freedom of three Palestinian prisoners. As his days of waiting commence, Shaltiel resorts to what he does best, telling stories--to himself and to the men who hold his fate in their hands. With beauty and sensitivity, Wiesel builds the world of Shaltiel's memories, haunted by the Holocaust and a Europe in the midst of radical change. A Communist brother, a childhood spent hiding from the Nazis in a cellar, the kindness of liberating Russian soldiers, the unrest of the 1960s--these are the stories that unfold in Shaltiel's captivity, as the outside world breathlessly follows his disappearance and the police move toward a final confrontation with his captors. Impassioned, provocative and insistently humane, Hostage is both a masterly thriller and a profoundly wise meditation on the power of memory to connect us to the past and our shared need for resolution.
