Hardback. Condición: Fair. From bestselling memoirist Alexandra Fuller, a debut novel. Lakota Oglala Sioux Nation, South Dakota. Two Native American cousins, Rick Overlooking Horse and You Choose Watson, though bound by blood and by land, find themselves at odds as they grapple with the implications of their shared heritage. When escalating anger toward the injustices, historical and current, inflicted upon the Lakota people by the federal government leads to tribal divisions and infighting, the cousins go in separate directions: Rick chooses the path of peace; You Choose, violence. Years pass, and as You Choose serves time in prison, Rick finds himself raising twin baby boys orphaned at birth in his meadow. As the twins mature from infants to young men, Rick immerses the boys in their ancestry, telling wonderful and terrible tales of how the whole world came to be and affirming their place in the universe as the result of all who have come before and will come behind. But when You Choose returns to the reservation after three decades behind bars, his anger manifests, forever disrupting the lives of Rick and the boys. A complex tale that spans generations and geography, Quiet Until the Thaw conjures the implications of an oppressed history, how we are bound not just to immediate family but to all who have come before and will come after us, and, most of all, to the notion that everything was always, and is always, connected.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. A perilous, psychologically suspenseful military thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille--writing with his son, Alex DeMille--about two army officers on the hunt in Venezuela for an army deserter, whose current precarious circumstances might just overshadow his troubled past. When Captain Jason Carmody of the army's elite Delta Force seemingly deserted his post at a remote base in the Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan three years ago, it made national headlines. The army launched intense around-the-clock searches for him, during which many American soldiers were killed by enemy forces. Six months later, a hostage video was released by the Taliban, demanding the army trade a high-ranking Taliban commander in exchange for Carmody. The US didn't comply and another two years passed without anyone hearing of Jason Carmody ever again. But when a former soldier spots Carmody on business overseas, the army calls in their best to investigate: warrant officers Scott Brodie, an intelligent renegade agent with little respect for authority, and Courtney Taylor, a detail-oriented stickler who is Brodie's foil in more ways than one. This unlikely duo is charged with tracking down Carmody and bringing him home from the last place he was seen alive--Caracas, Venezuela, the murder capital of the world. It soon becomes clear that Brodie and Taylor will have to put procedural differences aside to uncover the true mystery of Carmody's past. And what they unearth might prove that the most mysterious facet of Carmody's life isn't his desertion, but what he's up to now. In The Deserter, Nelson DeMille and his son Alex DeMille together bring to life the brutal streets of Caracas as our heroes follow a path of twists and turns, told with the signature impact, nail-biting plotting, and expert pacing only a DeMille can execute.…
