This book will occupy a prime spot on my bookshelf. I've had to use a bunch of different books to find this kind of information before. It's nice to see such a wide range of topics from discrete math covered so thoroughly.

This anthology runs the gamut between taut thriller and several mystery sub-genres to include Native American, psychological suspense, and the entertainment industry entries, etc. The eight fictional accounts are cleverly conceived and filled with surprising twists and non-stop action whether they occur in a modern day setting or the Civil War. Though this octet has appeared previously in other publications spread over fifteen years, the stories have never been in one handy book before. The key to the gratification of fans resides with the delightful lead characters typically confronting overwhelming situations often brought on by their actions or attitudes. Fans who relish a buffet of powerful tales that never slows down until the end of each entry will want to read this collection and Doug Allyn's other books like ALL CREATURES DARK AND DANGEROUS, and BLACK WATER.

With remarkable sublty Mr. Fairbanks relates his participation in the development of a U.S. Navy unit named the Beach Jumpers. Based in Little Creek, VA. this unit came latter to be known as the SEALS. A fact that has been verified by former SEALS, and is not common knowledge outside of that organization.

In the preface to his "Life of Lincoln", William Herndon expounded that when writing the history of Lincoln's early life "the whole truth concerning him should be known" and there should be "nothing colored or suppressed." Having set the standard Herndon failed to follow it, for there were something's even Herndon must have felt should not be put into print. Scholars wishing to explore Lincoln's early life beyond the insights offered by Herndon's biography had to turn to examining the letters and notes collected for over a twenty year period by himself and his collaborator Jesse Weik. This often proved to be a daunting task. As the editor's in their introduction noted even though available on Micro roll film specific documents are "very hard to locate" and even if located are "very hard to read." To further complicate matters the index to the Herndon collection prepared by the Library of Congress is "neither accurate nor complete." What Editors Douglas L. Wilson and Rodney O. Davis have done in their "Herndon's Informants" is to transcribe all of the known Herndon, Weik letters and notes into a readable and properly indexed Documentary Edition. What they have also done is create a masterpiece of scholarship that will be used by students of Lincoln for decades to come. "Herndon's Informants" offers the student the complete Herndon collection, unabridged and un-editorialized. To anyone who has a strong interest in learning more about Lincoln's early life this is just about all that is available and it simply must become a part of your personal library.
