 Cup of Gold
John Steinbeck
A STANDOUT in the Steinbeck canon, Cup of Gold is edgy and adventurous, brash and distrustful of society, and sure to add a new dimension to the
common perception of this all-American writer. Steinbeck’s first novel and sole work of historical fiction contains themes that resonate throughout
the author’s prodigious body of work. From the mid-1650s through the 1660s, Henry Morgan, a pirate and outlaw of legendary viciousness, ruled the
Spanish Main. He ravaged the coasts of Cuba and America, striking terror wherever he went. And he had two driving ambitions: to possess the beautiful
woman called La Santa Roja, and to conquer Panama, the "cup of gold."

centuries when their blood spilled upon The Pagan Stone... Their innocent bonding ritual led to seven days of madness, every seven years. And now, as

 The Dirty Dozen
Robert A. Levy
William Mellor
The Dirty Dozen takes on twelve Supreme Court cases that changed American history-and yet are not well known to most Americans. Starting in the New
Deal era, the Court has allowed breathtaking expansions of government power that significantly reduced individual rights and abandoned limited federal
government as envisioned by the founders. They argue for a Supreme Court that will enforce what the Constitution actually says about civil liberties,
property rights, racial preferences, gun ownership, and many other controversial issues.

 Blood Noir
Laurell K. Hamilton
Readers can't get enough of the #1 New York Times bestselling author. A favor for Jason, vampire hunter Anita Blake's werewolf lover, puts her in the
center of a fullblown scandal that threatens master-vampire Jean- Claude's reign-and makes her a pawn in an ancient vampire queen's new rise to power.

 A Place Called Canterbury
Dudley Clendinen
In 1994 New York Times writer Dudley Clendinen's mother-a Southern matron of iron will but creaking bones-sold her house and moved to Canterbury Tower,
a geriatric apartment building with full services and a nursing wing in Tampa Bay. There she landed in a microcosm of the New Old Age. Canterbury was
filled not just with old Tampa neighbors but also with strangers from across the country.
