She had the hind of beauty no man could resist, even an icy-veined private eye. Trouble was, Juanita Toy gave Peter Hunter more than her warm, exotic flesh. Her gifts included money-and a murder rap!Maybe Pete should have stuck to less dangerous women-like gorgeous Pat Laine, so big and so willing, so blonde all over. That way he would only have had to lick the gangster Moretti, the copper Hogan, the killer old Phineas and his hatchetman, Ramon...But Pete's stoke in the game was far bigger than murder. He was playing for love, for glory-and for keeps!

Do you remember Tommy Bloome, our beloved Leader who led the revolution that kept America out of World War II and established the workers' state?No? Then perhaps you may remember Tommy Bloome, the alienated kid who tried to assassinate our heroic General Norton in 1947? Not him either?Well, never mind. You may recall still another Tommy Bloome who...But maybe you had better read this account that Gordon Eklund has put down of the Americas that might have been, of the ambitions of one idealistic young man who tried to make our country and our world "better" and what happens when he bucks the invisible tides that sweep relentlessly through the courses of human events. It may be Eklund's finest novel-it is certainly science fiction far out of the usual paths.

Memory is like the wind--no one knows where it comes fom or where it goes to when it is away. A witty man once suggested that it must be situated in the back of the head, becuase whenever anyone struggled to remember a particular date or event, he usually scratched there. Memory as a storehouse of enriching thoughts, memory as an aid to success, memory as a cause of pain through misuse, self-conscious memory as a dinvine act of creation, are but a few fascinating phases of memory which Professor Phelps treats of in his enlivening little volume.

"Experience has taught us that it is sometimes wise and necessary to have more than two witnesses to bring out the whole truth. Especially is this the case where one of such witnesses has a powerful motive for suppressing or distorting the facts, as in this case. I therefore insist upon my right to take the witness stand and give my version of this Southern question, and though it shall widely differ from that of both the North and South, I shall submit the same to the candid judgment of all who hear me in full confidence that it will be received as true, by honest men and women of both sections of this Republic." -- Frederick Douglass

Julie had lived her life at 912 Linton Street. But the things she was telling me now had nothing to do with Linton Street. She dragged a sled up a snowy hill behind her house...but there was no hill on Linton Street. She scratched patterns with her fingernails on frosty windowpanes that looked out on a brick courtyard that was not on Linton Street. People came and went around her with the rustle of long skirts. Pleasant memories of some childhood that the Julie Wintcomb I knew had never known. But not all memories were pleasant...

The annual calm is broken by a burglary, a theft, a series of perculiar advertisements and an adventure on the high seas, in all of which Pat Hillyard and Tony are tangled.

But when he found the Lone Pine was owned by a woman, he was ready to give up the whole shebang. It was only the challenge of the enemies his new boss was fighting that kept him on; that and a desire to know who had perforated the hombre on the stagecoach who looked so much like himself. The most powerful ranchers in the region, led by Abelard Vick of the Wagon Wheel, were gunning for the Lone Pine. And besides having a woman owner, the Lone Pine was handicapped by a small and untrustworthy crew...

One gradually goes beyond his community, his communion, his nation, and his race in most things. Why should he not do so in spiritual experience until he reaches the secret sources of the Kingdom of God and himself becomes an echo of the love of God?-Foreword
