02.21.10: Jon Turk - The Raven's Gift

Sun, 02/21/2010 - 3:00pm
Jon Turk has kayaked around Cape Horn and paddled across the Pacific Ocean to retrace the voyages of ancient people.  But, the strangest trip he ever took was the journey he made as a man of science into the realm of the spiritual.  In a remote Siberian village, Turk met an elderly Koryak shaman named Moolynaut, who mended his fractured pelvis.  Finding no rational explanation, Turk sought understanding in the frozen tundra.  Framed by high adventure across the vast and forbidding Siberian landscape, The Raven's Gift creates a vision of natural and spiritual realms interwoven with one man's awakening.

Crashers (Hardcover)

$24.99

Haynes's compelling first thriller takes familiar elements—a mysterious airplane crash, a bent FBI agent, a deadly female spy—and mixes them with the world of National Transportation Safety Board aviation disaster investigations. When pathologist Leonard Tommy Tomzak, sees a TV report of a nearby jetliner crash, he rushes to the site via helicopter. As other NTSB personnel make their way to the crash scene from around the country, Tommy and his local crew secure the site. The forensic details fascinate but aren't for the weak of stomach. Haynes nicely integrates several subplots involving terrorism. The slam-bang crash landing of a conclusion will leave readers anxiously awaiting the promised sequel
