F. Van Wyck Mason
F. Van Wyck Mason has
created another exciting tale
set, this time, in Colonial
America. It takes the reader
from backwoods brawls to
the quiet elegance of
Cambridge, through the siege
of Ticonderoga, and to
seething, spy-ridden Boston,
introducing characters both
real and fictional. The result
is a deft blend of history and
imagination that has become
the hallmark of the Van
Wyck Mason style — a style
that has delighted readers all
over the world.
THE LAST BEST HOPE by
Peter Tauber
This is a love story, and a
war story, and a political
story. It is set in the Arizona
desert, in Vietnam, in
Berkeley, at a chemical
warfare laboratory in rural
Maryland, and in the East
Room of the White House. It
ends on a hill in a small
college town in Ohio. Its
characters include several
young people both
emblematic of their times,
and in many ways crippled by
those times. It is also peopled
by the ghost of Albert
Einstein, and the very real
presence ofRichardNixon.lt
