Gentleman/banker-robber Jack Foley is back in prison doing a thirty-year
sentence after a week-long escape. Brought in by Karen Sisco, US marshall, who
got her man after being abducted with the escapees, Jack and Karen have a thing
for each other, and Karen arrests him only after a meaningful 'time'out'
together. Jack is resigning himself to doing time, lots of it, and he seems to
have a friendly and easy control over the hardened criminals he is imprisoned
with. This easiness is enhanced in the minds of others by his fame as a bank
robber. It is this ease which impresses Cuando Rey, a Cuban refugee and criminal
who is doing time for murder. Cuando arranges to have Foley's sentence hugely
reduced, but has favors aplenty to ask when they're both released. Cuando's
wife, Dawn, is pretending to be saintly all the while (whilst quite the
opposite) under the negligent eye of The Monk, a gay accountant similarly in
thrall to Cuando. Foley is freed, and, as he fears, Cuando wants to use him on a
job, just as his every move is being scrutinised by FBI detective Lou Adams. In
an instant, though, Dawn has seduced him, and she has an agenda all of her own.

The
Reagan I knew
Buckley, William F. (William Frank), 1925-2008.
New York : Basic Books, c2008.
The late William F. Buckley Jr. offers a reminiscence of thirty years of
friendship with the man who brought the American conservative movement out of
the political wilderness and into the White House. Ronald Reagan and Buckley
were political allies and close friends throughout Reagan's political career.
They went on vacations together and shared inside jokes. Yet for all the words
that have been written about him, Ronald Reagan remains an enigma. His former
speechwriter Peggy Noonan called him "paradox all the way down," and
even his son Ron Reagan despaired of ever truly knowing him. But Reagan was not
an enigma to William F. Buckley Jr. They understood and taught each other for
decades, and together they changed history. This book presents an American
political giant as seen by another giant, who knew him perhaps better than
anyone else--the most revealing portrait of Ronald Reagan the world is likely to
have.--From publisher description.

Arnold, Ann.
New York : Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2008.
On June 4, 1741, Georg Wilhelm Steller set sail from Avacha Bay in Siberia on
the St. Peter, under the command of Vitus Bering. The crew was bound for America
on the last leg of an expedition whose mission was to explore, describe, and map
Russias vast lands from the Ural Mountains across Siberia to the Kamchatka
Peninsula, and possibly lay claim to the northwest coast of America, if they
could find it, for no European had ever reached America by this route.
Officially, Steller was the ships mineralogist, but in practice he was its
doctor, minister, and naturalist as well. Appointed to the expedition in 1737 by
the Academy of Science in St. Petersburg, he was sworn to secrecy concerning any
discoveries. Making judicious use of Stellers richly detailed journals and
liberal use of illustrations and maps, Ann Arnold allows the reader to join
Steller on this fascinating voyage and its final dangerous mission, which left
half the crew dead and the rest suffering from scurvy.

One man's campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and
anti-American reaches of Asia: in 1993 Greg Mortenson was an American mountain-
climbing bum wandering emaciated and lost through Pakistan's Karakoram. After he
was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of a Pakistani village, he
promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest
promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time--
Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools,
especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban. In a region
where Americans are often feared and hated, he has survived kidnapping, fatwas
issued by enraged mullahs, death threats, and wrenching separations from his
wife and children. But his success speaks for itself--at last count, his Central
Asia Institute had built fifty-five schools.--From publisher description.
