The Ship That Would Not Die (Hardcover) $22.3 Starting its life as an attack transport in World War II—and one of the last five left afloat by war’s end—the USS Queens saw action at Iwo Jima and other hot spots in the Pacific theater. After the war, the ship became the SS Excambion, one of the “Four Aces” of American Export Lines: the only fully air-conditioned ships in the world at the time. In 1965, the versatile Excambion underwent yet another transformation—into a floating classroom. Recommissioned as the USTS Texas Clipper, the ship began a third life as a merchant marine training vessel with its home port in Galveston. For the next three decades the Texas Clipper would be home to merchant marine cadets, and by the time it was retired in 1996, it was the oldest active ship in the U.S. merchant marine fleet. Finally, the Texas Clipper, after protracted bureaucratic wrangling, was designated to be sunk in the Gulf of Mexico as an artificial reef to provide habitat for marine life. In 2009, the ship was towed to its final resting place, seventeen nautical miles off the coast of South Padre Island. Now, 136 feet below the surface, the venerable Texas Clipper lives on as the home to a wide variety of underwater species. Filled not only with meticulously researched technical and historical data about the ship’s construction, service record, crew procedures, and voyages, The Ship That Would Not Die also features lively anecdotes from crew members, passengers, and officers. More than 140 color and black-and-white photos illustrate the ship’s construction, its wide variety of shipboard life, the exacting process of making the Texas Clipper ready to become an artificial reef, and its final sinking in the Gulf of Mexico. |

Age-related Macular Degeneration $15.95 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disease of the retina that develops when the light-sensing cells in the central area of vision (the macula) stop working and eventually die.

In 1995, Dan Roberts retired from teaching to help others who also suffered from macular degeneration. Roberts has established support networks for AMD patients and provided free presentations about vision impairment at schools, community organizations, and support groups across the country.

Auschwitz, Ohio: Part II from the Quatrain Some Die Mad $23.95 A four-book Great American Novel attempt by Ohio Mental Patient 44288. This man told me 35 years ago he’d try to write the GAN in the first by-line news story I ever wrote. But he was then already crazy and the feature was from an asylum so what the hell. But when I retired I got to thinking and tracked him down and found he left this absolutely unique treasure as the only legacy from his alcohol drenched, pathetic, and tragically short life. Damn, if this guy didn’t put about all other attempts at GAN since 1962 and later to shame I’ll eat a bug. A must read. This is the real life One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest by a guy I know was there and who escaped without that pesky little lobotomy and one big Indian with the pillow. I promise in many places this book will make you poop your pants. Perry Aayr |

Day of the Dead $9.99 Thirty years ago, the butchered body of a local Papago girl was found stuffed into a large cooler on the side of Highway 86. No one was ever charged for the crime. Few even cared. And no one suspected it was just the beginning. Retired Pima County Sheriff Brandon Walker’’s work with The Last Chance–an exclusive, nationwide fraternity of former lawmen investigating unsolved homicides–has brought new purpose to his life. But a gruesome, three-decades-old cold case is leading him into a strange world at the unlikely border between forensic science and tribal mysticism–a place where evil hides behind a perfect faCade. A long-forgotten murder in the Arizona desert now threatens to bring home a new horror for Walker and his family, who have already survived the dark hunger of two human monsters. And suddenly the relentless ex-cop is the only person who can still unravel a blood knot of terror and obsession before the innocent die again. |

On the surface, it looks like an ordinary city block, but as we meet Madlenka’s neighbors — the French baker, the Indian news vendor, the Italian ice-cream man, the Latin American grocer, a retired opera singer from Germany, an African American school friend, and the Asian shopkeeper — and look through die-cut windows to the images and memories they have carried from old country to new, we can see that Madlenka’s block is as richly varied as its inhabitants. And why is Madlenka going around the block, jumping for joy? Her tooth is loose, and she wants everyone to know! |

What seems ilke a perfectly simple suicide soon turns to a devious plot, with family secrets abounding on every side. Small town life is at its best, where outsiders are suspects from the start, but soon Patrick and Grace have a lineup of suspects of their own. The primary clue is the letter to Patrick and Grace, which contained a key to a safety deposit box. In the box? A RECIPE FOR MURDER. But was it really worth killing for? Obviously someone thought so. It was, literally, a recipe to die for. |

Seven Black Stones $27 The Apportioner sees what’s going on over there and she don’t like it. When she gets mad enough, she’ll send a punishment, like she did in the old days. Lot of people are going to die . The words were spoken by Zebediah Smoke, whose ramshackle property bordered the Cherokee Nation’s new, half-completed bingo hall. Zeb’s listeners, his great-nephew and a retired professor who had come to record the old man’s stories for posterity, could dismiss his rantings as an old man’s melodrama. But in a matter of days Zeb’s words seemed to come true. The first victim was found in his garage, dead of carbon monoxide poisoning. While the sheriff wanted to rule it a suicide and close the case, Molly Bearpaw, whose own life had been darkened by suicide, was sure that this was not. So was the teenage daughter of the dead man. And besides, there was the matter of the seven small black stones left in a circle on the seat of Ed Whitekiller’s pick-up truck. Whitekiller had been chronically unemployed and perpetual womanizer. While Molly was suspicious of his angry wife, and his latest lover’s angry husband, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this was something other than a crime of passion. And when another dead man was found within shooting distance of Zebediah Smoke’s shack, she knew that seven black stones would be found there, too. Now, she only had to find out why… Jean Hager’s most masterful work yet, Seven Black Stones captures the confluences of the traditional and the modern forces in contemporary Cherokee life. With its powerful sense of time and place and rich characterizations, this mystery delves into the issues between men and women, lovers and family, that are common to us all, and thatforce Molly Bearpaw to find not only a killer, but the truths of her own life. |

Later, as a search begins for a voracious predator that has attacked the small town of Monarch, Montana, Joe must make a life-or-death decision as he watches the terrifying image of Leggett outside his window. |
