Cold War superspy Evan Tanner lost the ability to sleep on a battlefield in Korea. So where the heck has he been since the '70s? Frozen. Cryogenically. A Tanner-sicle. Which he never thought would happen when he walked into a basement in Union City, New Jersey, more than a quarter century ago. Now he's unthawed and ready to rumble, and his somewhat addled, former super-secret boss, "the Chief", is glad his favorite operative's active again.

Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese). Time to embrace the world's lost causes and irredentist movements (The Flat Earth Society, the League for the Restoration of Cilician Armenia, the Society of the Left Hand). Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge.

"I'm your son." These are the words that turned Shelby's world upside down. It's been five years since Shelby's last adventure.

His health is suffering. His social circle is shrinking.

Ele'ana and her squad of cybernetic soldiers are escorting a long haul space freighter to the outer rim planets. She can't tell the captain what they're carrying, or why saboteurs are trying to stop them. The assignment is challenging enough without a saboteur aboard ship. The medic is half-blind. Her explosives expert is a sociopath. The interrogator suffers from dementia. Her own sanity is stretched to its limit as her desire for the cantankerous captain wrestles with reality.

You don't lead a life full of action and close scrapes without making a few enemies. This is the hard lesson ex-boxer and retired fixer Shelby Alexander learns when he travels to his boyhood town in northern Michigan to "settle down". As it happens, the bad guys have other ideas. This explosive four-book collection is a roller-coaster ride filled with drama, innuendos, twists and turns, secrets, and betrayal, and a bombshell ending that will leave you spinning.

And at one point we decided it might be fun to do a novel together. Not by thinking it out and talking through it and, you know, collaborating in a serious artistic manner. Our method was simpler. One of us would write a chapter, and then the other would write a chapter to come after it, and back and forth, like that, until we had a book. It worked, and by God it was fun. The first of our efforts was A Girl Called Honey, and it started when I wrote a chapter and sent it to Don. And so on, and we stopped when we had a book and sent it to Henry Morrison.

This is a new edition of Mark Twain's masterpiece, Huckleberry Finn, published by American Renaissance Books. The audiobook is narrated by Theo Holland, who brings to life the humor and drama of this timeless tale.

Karlis, Tanner's comrade in the Latvian Army in Exile, is pining for his true love, a gymnast who can't get out of the Soviet Union. So Tanner sneaks through a hole in the Iron Curtain, meets the child he unwittingly fathered on an earlier trip to Macedonia, smuggles a dissident intellectual out of Yugoslavia, adds to his retinue a six-year-old Lithuanian girl, who'd be the rightful heir to the Lithuanian throne if there ever were one, and winds up not with one Latvian gymnast but with a whole company of them.

Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese). Time to embrace the world's lost causes and irredentist movements (The Flat Earth Society, the League for the Restoration of Cilician Armenia, the Society of the Left Hand). Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge. And, most important, time to do his dreaming while he's wide awake.

Covering the broad swatch of lifestyles and struggles in off-peak Eureka Springs, Wilderness asks hard questions about retired men and those who try to tame them.

There is something in the dark. That is the unspoken truth known by every man on Earth. A monster, be it demon or human, is waiting to attack in the absence of the protection light provides. What that noise is becomes exaggerated with the imagination. Monsters that bump softly in the night, demanding their pound of flesh to sate an ever growing hunger. Such things are considered an imaginative escape from the boring demands of life.

After the governor of Michigan begins receiving threats from a militant environmental group, he calls in extra security. The problem? He fears there might be a traitor on his security detail. The solution? Call in an independent contractor. The man for the job? An ex-boxer and semi-retired fixer named Shelby Alexander. But who can be trusted? As it turns out, no one.
