 | Afterburn by Colin Harrison
This brooding, sophisticated thriller tells the story of Charlie Ravich, a beleaguered family man and traumatized Vietnam vet, and Christina Welles, an attractive ex-con with a violent mobster on her tail. Moving from Hong Kong to New York, the novel paints a disturbing picture of life in the contemporary megalopolis, and the grace with which Harrison depicts graphic violence makes him a sort of literary Sam Peckinpah.

 | Rip Van Winkle - Wake up, Rip Van Winkle by Geoffrey Crayon
Flip books tell two sides of favorite stories! Now children can read classic tales from two different perspectives. The traditional hero's story is on one side of the book; the same story from another character's viewpoint is on the flip side. Well-loved folktales are even more enjoyable when examined in a new light. Rip Van Winkle's daughter remembers her father as an irresponsible loafer who lived in the mountains for 20 years because he ran out of good stories and was too embarrassed to admit it.
