Vampire Nation
By Thomas M. Sipos
PB, 260 pgs., $21.99
Nicolae Ceausescu, whose rule encompassed Transylvania and Rumania, was the only Communist dictator violently overthrown during the 1989-91 collapse of East European Communism. Controversy persists as to whether it was a spontaneous revolt -- or a coup engineered by his own Securitate (secret police). Vampire Nation is set amid the societal decay preceding Ceausescu's downfall. On a flight to Rumania, an American is inadvertently served blood, sensitizing his eyes to a surreal society of the undead, and revealing that Communism is vampirism. A dark fantasy/satire about Communism, in the tradition of George Orwell's Animal Farm. Finalist, Writers Foundation/America's Best contest.

The Fall of Lucifer
By Wendy Alec
PB, 292 pgs.
The three highest ranking angels have total freedom and vast authority in the heavenlies. When God announces His intentions to create mankind, it is a development that meets with great praise and approval in every corner of heaven. Every corner but one. Lucifer, the most beautiful and supreme angel of the three, is confused by the Deity’s desire that humans will be His perfect companion, the ultimate object of the God’s love. For ages upon ages, Lucifer has been the closest companion and most beloved son of the Most High. What need did God have for a new companion?
Beyond the physical reality where imaginary lines between the natural and supernatural blur…on planes of existence unhindered by time and space…conflicts are raging. In The Fall of Lucifer, we see Lucifer tempt Eve in the Garden, the intentional tainting of humanity which results in the Flood, the setting up of his evil kingdom in the earthly realm as he sends his legions to destroy the newborn Christ child. Everything designed to deprive God of His new favorite.

By Gen LaGreca

In a chilling medical suspense novel, author Gen LaGreca creates two powerful characters -- Nicole Hudson, the lovely ballerina who rose to stardom from a deprived childhood only to have her life shattered by a tragic accident, and Dr. David Lang, the impassioned neurosurgeon who is determined to restore her health no matter what price he must pay. The trouble is that Lang's revolutionary treatment -- a way of regrowing injured nerve tissue to cure paralysis and other neurological disorders -- is rejected by New York's state-run health system, CareFree, a bureaucracy bogged down in budget overruns, red tape, and political corruption.

Two
Minutes to Midnight
By M. Ray Lott
PB, 224 pgs.
The future is only a nightmare away -- Nat Turner is a captured Resistance
agent rotting away in a death row cell in a despotic place once known as
America. As his date with the electric chair approaches, Turner keeps a
diary in which he identifies the problems and difficulties that old America
refused to address, and which directly led to the despotism which currently
wracks the land. In between diary entries, we see Turner struggling through
two earth shattering events: as a little boy on an arduous trek through
the Idaho wilds with his parents as they try to escape to Canada; and as
an adult some twenty-five years later, now a Resistance agent fighting
the same tyrannical government he had once escaped from. The reader will
judge whether Turner’s interpretation of events are insightful observations,
or the ruminations of a madman.

Getting
It Right
By William F. Buckley Jr.
HC, 311 pgs.
It's
become a truism that the groundwork for GOP success since 1980 was laid
in the 1950s and in the 1964 Goldwater presidential
campaign. Buckley himself was a player then--part of what this historical
novel's characters label "the National Review crowd"--but that group
is absent here. Instead, Buckley focuses on two of the conservative movement's
more controversial elements: the fervently anti-Communist John Birch
Society and Ayn Rand's "objectivism."

Perestroika Sunset
By Alan Stang
528 pgs.
For
twenty-two years he has waited, alone, abandoned by his government, buried
alive in a country not his own. His youth is gone. His comrades are gone.
All hope is gone. He is a Company Commander without a company. He knows
he is forgotten, a bypassed pawn in the maelstrom of geopolitics. For
twenty-two years, he hasn't read a book, hasn't heard real music, hasn't
had real food, hasn't seen a woman. He doesn't know his wife is dead,
betrayed and driven to fatal alcoholism by the Speaker of the House. He
doesn't know his daughter has been hunting him for years. The only thing
he has left is the message, the bizarre message from Moscow he has memorized
in French, the message he must somehow deliver to Washington--the message
that could be hopelessly outdated, but, if not, could save the United
States. He will know he has been successful and that he has not lived
all these years in vain, only when he is forced to his knees for the final
bullet in the head.

Blood Trail
By Michael Sullivan (Michael Galster)
HC, 320 pgs.
Although
fiction, Michael Sullivan's thrilling first novel evolved from the true,
tragic, and ongoing story of a blood contamination that infected as many
as 80,000 people in Canada. Thousands have died, many more have death
sentences, and still more will suffer for life. The fact that this novel
is loosely (very loosely) based on actual events makes it all the more
frighting. Still more frighting are the attacks, threats and harrasment
the author recieved after this book was published, even though it was
written with a pseudonym.

The Mitzvah
By Aaron Zelman, L. Neil Smith
PB, 245 pgs
"'The
Mitzvah' by Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith is powerful stuff. This attention-grabbing
novel tells the story of a Catholic priest forced to confront evidence
that his birth parents were German Jews who hid their infant son with
neighbors before being murdered in the Holocaust. As a non-Jew, I was
fascinated by the priest's efforts to investigate his birthright and understand
the fundamentals of the Jewish faith. His intellectual and spiritual journey
became my own. What the priest discovers will alarm most readers. The
Mitzvah clearly shows that in America, not only are many Jewish leaders
and legislators ignoring the Bill of Rights, they are also ignoring the
teachings of Judaism. Like a clear diagnosis of cancer, The Mitzvah is
upsetting but must not be ignored." -- John Ross, author of Unintended

Patriots : Surviving the Coming Collapse
By James Wesley Rawles
PB, 352 pgs.
It
is a novel about a devastating socioeconomic collapse in the near future.
It has been described as "a survival manual fairly neatly dressed as fiction."
Although it is fast-paced, it includes so many useful details that most
people find themselves taking notes as they read it. It doesn't just describe
what might happen, it explains exactly how to prepare for it. Most readers
comment that they end up time with a highlighting pen in hand. This is
not your typical novel. It even has appendices. -- from the author

who holds his temper for years in the face of growing bureaucratic oppression.
He is finally forced to kill a team of heavily armed federal firearms

Reaping the Whirlwind
By Rosey Dow
PB, 408 pages
For
seventy-five years the truth about the pivotal evolution trial of Tennessee
vs. John Thomas Scopes has lain dormant in scholarly tomes. In honor of
this landmark year, best-selling author Rosey Dow wrote Reaping the Whirlwind
to reveal the behind-the-scenes action, the string pulling and conniving,
the publicity stunts, and the humorous interaction of the players in this
critical real-life drama. "John Scopes was innocent," announces Ms. Dow.
"He never taught evolution and, in fact, was not a biology teacher." Yet
hundreds of reporters poured into tiny Dayton, Tennessee to see him tried
and convicted. Radios across the nation broadcast every word of the trial
to a populace with its ear pressed to the receiver determined not to miss
a single word. Few knew the truth even then. In page-turning fiction style,
Rosey Dow weaves the factual account of the trial with a murder mystery
to show this issue's relevance to modern America.

2006 : The Chautauqua Rising
By Jack Cashill
HC, 273 pgs.
Jack
Cashill has crafted an elegantly drawn, eminently readable story of epic
proportions. His rich characters are placed within a believable framework
which expands current political trends to their frightening conclusions.
The moment that you open the book, you are drawn into a puzzling mystery
which quickly expands to illustrate the consequences of ignoring current
popular beliefs. To wit: SUVs are no longer available, tobacco products
are available only with a prescription or from Native Americans, totalitarian
programs are framed as being "for the children."

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
By Robert A. Heinlein
HC
"The
Hugo Award-winning classic that helped launch modern libertarianism, The
Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is Heinlein's unforgettable tale of a Lunar revolution
in 2076. Led by a one-armed computer technician, a radical blonde bombshell,
an aging academic, and a sentient, all-knowing computer, the revolution's
proclamation--"TANSTAAFL" (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free
Lunch)--remains a slogan of the libertarian movement today."

Atlas Shrugged
by Ayn Rand
PB, 1075 pgs
The
book's female protagonist, Dagny Taggart, struggles to manage a transcontinental
railroad amid the pressures and restrictions of massive bureaucracy. Her
antagonistic reaction to a libertarian group seeking an end to government
regulation is later echoed and modified in her encounter with a utopian
community, Galt's Gulch, whose members regard self-determination rather
than collective responsibility as the highest ideal. The novel contains
the most complete presentation of Rand's personal philosophy, known as
objectivism, in fictional form.

The Fountainhead
by Ayn Rand
PB, 704 pgs.
The
Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular
now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one
man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a
successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth
Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength
of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism.
The confrontation of those themes, along with the amazing stroke of Rand's
writing, combine to give this book its enduring influence.
