His assignment . . . find out what Fidel Castro is up to and where he is taking the country. John’s cover is working for the Ministry of Culture as a leading dancer in the Cuban National Ballet Company. His covert mission is part of OPERATION VENCEREMOS, an ingenious plan designed to precipitate the collapse of international communism. John takes readers through events prior to his arrival in Cuba, including his CIA recruitment; instruction in espionage tradecraft; black ops training; and undercover field-officer preparation at the Agency’s top-secret facility in Virginia, and his unique world of classical ballet training and performance. While dancing in Hollywood, John falls in love with Margarita Guzman, a beautiful Cuban ballerina, and gets invited to join the Cuban National Ballet Company. This provides a perfect cover and a plausible reason for being in Cuba. Readers will enjoy John’s adventures in Cuba as he arranges the defection of a Russian collaborator, gathers critical intelligence confirming the arrival to Cuba of thousands of Soviet troops and vast quantities of sophisticated weaponry, and the daring escape across the Florida Straits with Margarita.

Ruins of War

By: John A. Connell

A chilling novel of murder and madness in post-World War II Germany… Winter 1945. Seven months after the Nazi defeat, Munich is in ruins. Mason Collins—a former Chicago homicide detective, U.S. soldier, and prisoner of war—is now a U.S. Army criminal investigator in the American Zone of Occupation. It’s his job to enforce the law in a place where order has been obliterated. And his job just became much more dangerous. A killer is stalking the devastated city—one who has knowledge of human anatomy, enacts mysterious rituals with his prey, and seems to pick victims at random. Relying on his wits and instincts, Mason must venture places where his own life is put at risk: from interrogation rooms with unrepentant Nazi war criminals to penetrating the U.S. Army’s own black market. What Mason doesn’t know is that the killer he’s chasing is stalking him, too… From the Hardcover edition.

Of Sex and Faerie: Further Essays on Genre Fiction

Further Essays on Genre Fiction

By: John Lennard

Taking up where the author's book Of Modern Dragons (2007) left off, these essays continue Lennard's investigation of the praxis of serial reading and the best genre fiction of recent decades, including work by Bill James, Walter Mosley, Lois Mcmaster Bujold, and Ursula K. Le Guin. There are groundbreaking studies of contemporary paranormal romance, and of Hornblower's transition to space, while the final essay deals with the phenomenon and explosive growth of fanfiction, and with the increasingly empowered status of the reader in a digital world. There is an extensive bibliography of genre and critical work, with eight illustrations and many hyperlinks.

John Van der Kiste's carefully researched, well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to all those interested in the darker side of Berkshire.

Packers by the Numbers

Jersey Numbers and the Players who Wore Them

By: John Maxymuk

Numbers conjure up vivid memories in sports. If you say "3" most sports fans would think of Babe Ruth; Green Bay Packer fans would remember Tony Canadeo. If you say "75" most football fans would think of Mean Joe Green, but Packer fans would recall Forrest Gregg. This unique book features 99 chapters one keyed to each uniform number. The history of each number provides a different slice of Packer history, representing a thematic rather than chronological approach to Green Bay's rich heritage. There is no other book like this that reviews a team history by its uniform numbers. A refreshing take on a most popular team!
