Title: The Venetian Judgement Author: David Stone File Type: Mobi Subject:Fiction:Religous Description:Apr 2009 At the start of bestseller Stone's formulaic third thriller to feature CIA cleaner Micah Dalton (after The Orpheus Deception), Dalton takes revenge late one night outside Venice's Piazza San Marco on one of the Serbian thugs responsible for the death of his lover, Cora Vasari. Dalton's actions result in his becoming involved in the search for a high-level traitor in the CIA's ranks, who's believed to be behind the brutal murder of elderly Mildred Durant, an unofficial adviser to an NSA decryption team known as the Glass Cutters, in her London home. Durant worked on the Venona Project, the interception of Soviet cable traffic, during the cold war. It appears Stalin had a source close to Roosevelt who was never exposed. While no one will mistake Stone for John le Carré, series fans are sure to root for the unstoppable Dalton, compared at one point to the newly risen Christ, only blond and not quite so loving, with a bullet scar on one cheek and no intention at all of turning the other.

Author: Anne Tyler
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fiction
Description:Amazon.com ReviewTyler makes things look so easy that she never gets enough credit, yet she portrays everyday Americans with such humor, grace and, ultimately, emotional force that her books are always deeply satisfying. In strongSaint Maybestrong her protagonist Ian Bedloe, stricken with guilt over the death of his older brother, raises three children unrelated to him by blood. He is strengthened in this Herculean task by the storefront Church of the Second Chance, to which he devotes himself with equal fervor. Someone once said all great writers are comic writers. Among living Americans, Tyler is exhibit A. From Publishers WeeklyAlthough Tyler ( Breathing Lessons Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant ) is again writing about families--the way they cleave together in times of trouble and muddle through with stoic courage--her eminently satisfying new novel breaks her familiar mold, giving us ordinary, not eccentric characters who are shaped by disastrous events into quietly heroic behavior. The Bedloes are cheerful and count their blessings, even if they are far from rich and live on a slightly seedy street in Baltimore. But when 17-year-old Ian rashly informs his older brother Dan that the latters wife was undoubtedly pregnant before their marriage, Dan commits suicide, and Ian is left with profound guilt--especially since Dans wife dies soon after. Asking Gods forgiveness, he receives spiritual guidance at the endearingly shabby Church of the Second Chance. He drops out of college, becomes a carpenter and helps his parents care for the three orphaned children as the years pass, that burden falls primarily on Ians shoulders. Wondering when God will signal that his atonement can end, Ian has an epiphany You could never call it a penance, to have to care for those three. Ian eventually does construct a life for himself, in one of Tylers most appealing endings. The narrative also enjoys her whimsical humor (although the group role of the foreigners who live in the neighborhood verges on caricature). Since her characters foibles never overwhelm their homespun simplicity, the reader is emotionally involved and touched as never before. 250,000 first printing BOMC main selection first serial to the New Yorker. 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
