Passage to Natchez
by Cameron JuddA sweeping epic of the American frontier and the brave few who risked their lives for the promise of glory and limitless fortunes For Americans in the early nineteenth century, the uncharted western frontier signified both great opportunity and grave danger. Bold pioneers left the civilized Eastern Seaboard in droves, seeking riches and reinvention. Trekking across the continent&’s vast plains and rivers, they faced the threat of disease, wild animals, and violence from Native Americans who resented this invasion into their land. In this stunningly dynamic novel, author Cameron Judd portrays one such perilous journey down the Ohio River through the eyes of sixteen-year-old Celinda Ames. During the Ames family&’s trip to Natchez—one of the earliest settlements in what is now Mississippi—both of Celinda&’s parents die from infection. Left to fend for herself, Celinda encounters an array of seamy characters drawn to the lawless West, like the malevolent Harpe brothers—arguably America&’s first serial killers—who prowl the river robbing and murdering unsuspecting travelers. This enthralling narrative leads up to the powerful earthquake of 1811 that jolted the Midwest, upended the region&’s budding civilizations, and changed the course of migration to the West. With an unflinching eye, Judd evokes the dangers of the frontier with vivid clarity and illustrates the exhilarating adventures of those who dared to conquer it.

Patto d'amore
by Niccolò Cortelazzo B. A. StretkeWilliam Drake vive una vita ordinaria - ha un lavoro, un cane, e una casa vicino al Lago Superiore - quando la disperata chiamata d'aiuto della sua irresponsabile sorella, Katrina, lo precipita nelle spire di un complicato complotto che coinvolge un ranchero. Dimostrando che nessuna buona intenzione rimane impunita, l'arrivo di Will al ranch del Montana di proprietà del fidanzato di Katrina, Martin, è segnato da una ruota a terra e dall'inaspettato soccorso di un alto, moro e bellissimo buon samaritano. Si rivelerà essere Elijah Hunter, il fratello di Martin, e l'uomo più sconvolgente che Will abbia mai conosciuto. La furia di Eli contro le malefatte di Katrina si sfoga su Will, ed egli pretende che Will rimanga al ranch finché tutta la questione non sarà stata risolta. E benché Will possa prendere il posto di Katrina, Eli non gli renderà il lavoro facile, mettendolo alla prova ogni momento; ma l'etica ferrea di Will supererà anche gli esigenti standard di Eli. Ma la crescente attrazione tra i due è ulteriormente complicata dall'ultimatum di Eli: Katrina è ancora legata a lui dal contratto prematrimoniale che ha firmato... a meno che Will non accetti di sposare Eli.

by Gene HackmanLIFE, NOT DEATH, DROVE JUBAL YOUNG . . . but memories of his ma and pa, and his beautiful, bright sister are all he has left. Memories of the peaceful days before Jubal stumbled home with his .22, his blood running cold with fear, terror, and anger. When it was over, the homestead was half burned to the ground. Someone had to bury the bodies. Someone had to set things right. Now, as Jubal rides west into New Mexico, he remembers his family’s laughter and love, his pa’s wisdom, ma’s thick books, and everything that was defiled by a band of drunken renegades towed along by one man’s murderous grudge. A reprobate lawman won’t believe his story. A soft-hearted mountain man won’t survive Jubal’s one-man war. And a judge and his beautiful daughter cannot stop Jubal from climbing a peak of blood and madness: for justice, or payback, or something he can live for—or die for—redeeming.

Quando, per puro spregio, l’allevatore mette all’asta la terra, Takoda sa che è venuto il momento di agire e unisce le forze con Will per impedirne la vendita. Lottare per questa causa ha più conseguenze di quante Will se ne aspettasse. All’inizio vuole soltanto aiutare la tribù a preservare la propria identità, ma alla fine trova la sua.
