The Lost Coast -- A Larison Short Story

(no rating)
I've had the privilege of knowing Barry since John Rain was born. Larison's story here is typical Eisler. Hardhitting, real, and satisfying. Well, it serves as an appetizer anyway, because you'll never be able to stop with just one Eisler story. The Lost Coast is not for the faint hearted, but then, other authors write for the faint, Barry writes for the connected. So, if you're into slamdunk reality of setting and character, read Barry Eisler; read The Lost Coast.

The Man from Shenandoah

Marsha Ward really does write Westerns with heart. And her Owen family saga is among the best you'll ever read. Learn what our ancestors did to build this land. Like the Man from Shenandoah. Highly recommended.
