One of the oldest covert operations in our nation's history, it has remained buried in ordinary enterprises for more than seven decades. Now, to prevent a global catastrophe, it must risk exposure to find a man who has vanished with a terrifying secret. The one person who can help is a killer. He has avoided capture but is now in grave danger. A small handful of eccentric individuals must keep him alive if they are to find a hellish device and the man who built it. It won't be easy. They are not agents. They are international criminals and no one in power will admit that they exist.

With rich imagery and compelling characters, the Ice and the Stars tells a story of two human communities separated by a yawning gulf of years. What happens when a chance discovery radically changes our perceptions of human history? Art found in caves can be only a tiny fraction of the that produced by our early ancestors. The great bulk of Paleolithic artistry was surely created elsewhere and lost to the elements thousands of years ago. What are the chances then, that the work of a truly gifted ancient artist will be discovered in our time?"

In a dying world, the surviving human population of the Earth faces the possibility of its own extinction. They will reject that outcome and do as humans have done in the past. They will look to each other for salvation. There is nothing in human history or in human nature that suggests that our species will go feral and revert to savagery in the midst of a global catastrophe. It is far more likely that we will rescue and protect each other. That is what we do. Pathogen is a tale of human survival. We humans like our civilization. When it is damaged, we do not abandon it, we repair it. When...

The Mississippi Delta is both a real and a mythical place. This story of a boy's childhood is set in that strange and remarkable part of the world that is home to some of the richest farmland and some of the poorest people in America. A disproportionally large share of America's art, literature and music has come from the Mississippi Delta. Those who have never been there cannot imagine the place, and those who have lived there cannot forget it.

Most Americans would be shocked to learn the number of plots and planned attacks derailed by analysis, covert operations and interrogation. Were they to know that number, they would be effectively terrorized. Under International law, the infliction of any sort of physical or mental pain or suffering on captives in the jurisdiction of civil or military authorities is not permitted for any reason even in time of war. Robert Langston is keenly aware this. Nevertheless, he knowingly inflicts pain and suffering on his "clients." He does what most people would call a bad thing. He does it for what...
