BOOK OF KNUT: A NOVEL BY KNUT KNUDSON (by Halvor Aakhus): A mathematician finds a novel written by her dead lover and subsequently transforms it into an annotated mathematical textbook, complete with homework problems. Its various nonverbal elements-paintings, musical scores, mathematical graphs, etc.-are all original compositions. The manuscript won the $10,000 Henfield Prize in May 2011, before publication by Jaded Ibis Productions (2012). "Halvor Aakhus is the smartest and most wildly inventive young writer to come around since David Foster Wallace. Knut rules!" -- David Leavitt, author of The Lost Language of Cranes and The Indian Clerk "Behold, the bastard child-thrice removed-of Padgett Powell, Barry Hannah, and Samuel Beckett. There's something very wrong and very right about the wires crossed in his head." -- Benjamin Percy, author of The Wilding and Refresh, Refresh "I once saw an extravagant castle in the wilds of Colorado, constructed from various materials over many years by one odd guy with a vision. This novel reminds me of that castle. It also reminds me of E.L. Doctorow's claim that excess in literature is its own justification. This wonderful novel is excessive -- beautifully and humanely and ecstatically excessive. I urge you to give yourself up to it." -- Chris Bachelder, author of U.S.! and Bear V. Shark "Halvor Aakhus should be paralyzed from depression and knowing too much. He has two or three doctoral dissertations, never consummated, in his head. The truly arcane stuff in Book of Knut is from his memory. This book won a prize getting to this point, and the judge said it was so outrageously complicated he could not not give it the prize. The reader should gird his or her loins if loins can be in one's head." -- Padgett Powell, author of You & I, Edisto, and The Interrogative Mood
An NPR Great Read of 2013 This stunning debut novel opens in May 2011, when Sara’s son, Jason, has been missing for nine days following a Special Operations Forces mission that took place the same night as the bin Laden raid. Knowing nothing more about Jason’s fate than the reporters camped out in front of her Pennsylvania farmhouse, Sara—an editor who immersed herself in all things military after her son became a Naval officer—is determined to discover what’s happened. Through letters and flashbacks, this haunting novel reveals the profound bond between a mother and her son, as it raises fundamental questions about life choices, the military, war, and service to one’s country. With dazzling talent and a unique voice, Lea Carpenter tells a thrilling and unforgettable story.
Now with expanded content--including reader's group guides, a Q&A, an essay from the author about her love affair with Lake Superior--this is the ideal read for anyone traveling to the Great Lakes, in body or spirit.
In exposing what Joe Biden called the most "audacious plan" in 500 years as a likely hoax, this daring novel employs three not-so-fictional premises in its treatment of the May 2011 "Osama bin Laden" Raid: * That Navy SEALs died when a helicopter exploded during the raid. * That SEALs who survived the raid died in a later helicopter explosion. * That Osama bin Laden actually died a decade before the raid occurred. These premises are based on recorded facts - on televised eyewitness interviews; on news stories published in August 2011; and on obituaries of Osama bin Laden reported in newspapers ten years previous. After Abottabad: SEALs On The Run explores the question of what really happened on the night of that daring raid by America's finest warriors, telling the story of the raid and its aftermath from the point of view of its last surviving SEAL participant, Wade Turnbull. Wade is one of 11 U. S. Navy SEALs to escape Abbottabad while 12 of his comrades are incinerated when their stealth helicopter explodes on takeoff for the return trip to their base in Afghanistan. Because Wade refuses to buy into the official story that these 12 raiders escaped with Osama bin Laden's body in a backup transport after they deliberately blew up their crippled helicopter, he is dispatched to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, to attend the President's Victory Celebration and thence home to be pressured by colleagues and a desperately worried wife to accept the American media's version of events. When the other SEAL survivors die in a later helicopter explosion, Wade runs for his life from government operatives who will stop at nothing to keep the real story of Abbottabad buried. Wade hooks up with war correspondent Kat Rearden and together they race against deadly foes and the clock to expose the Pulitzer Prize-worthy story of the most massive political and military cover-up in American history.

In the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Oregon Files series, Chairman Juan Cabrillo and his crew are hired by the US government to free Tibet from Chinese control... The Corporation, a group of highly intelligent and skilled mercenaries, under the leadership of Juan Cabrillo, board a brand new ship. It's a state-of-the-art seagoing marvel with unthinkable technology at its disposal. And it's designed to look like a rusty old lumber hauler. But if Cabrillo and his team plan to make this spy ship their new headquarters, their first mission had better be a success. With the secret backing of the US government, Cabrillo sets out to put Tibet back in the hands of the Dalai Lama by striking a deal with the Russians and the Chinese. His main negotiating chip is knowledge of a golden Buddha containing records of vast oil reserves in the disputed land. But first, he'll have to locate—and steal—the all-important artifact. And there are certain people who would do anything in their power to see him fail...
