Open

Nobody writes about golf better than John Feinstein, and now he’s found the perfect subject to cover. In June 2002, the world watched a U.S. Open like no other. The most prestigious golf championship was played, for the first time in history, on a public golf course. With unprecedented access, Feinstein takes us through every step of the event, from how the players qualified to how pairings were made, from preparing the course to the heated negotiations between the USGA and NBC. Listeners will meet golf’s biggest stars and get to know them with eye-opening intimacy - and ultimately come to understand why playing in the Open at Bethpage meant so much to so many.

Wilberforce

"One of the most moving and memorable historical biographies in our time."
–Church Times

William Wilberforce is chiefly remembered as the reformer who campaigned for the abolition
of the slave trade in England. He was at the heart of British politics for over forty years during
the inflammatory times of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. He lived just long
enough to see the passage of the Act to emancipate all slaves in British territories.

Drawing on a vast array of previously unpublished manuscripts, John Pollock presents a full
picture of the man: "exciting, lovable, delightful, with faults which must have maddened his
friends."

Blackout

Blackout

Minutes after a Boeing 747 rises majestically into a Hong Kong sunset, a flash splits the darkening sky. The pilot - suddenly blinded and doubled over in pain - fumbles in the dark in a frantic effort to gain control as the huge jet shudders through its descent.

Kat Bronsky, FBI agent and terrorism specialist, is assigned the hunt for a Challenger-class business jet seen nearby just before the incident. The case poses countless questions: Was the flash a pilot error, a missile attack, or a malfunction? Or was it some new kind of weapon? And why are several government agencies interested in what Kat uncovers?

Mind Catcher

Saturday, May 24th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

New York City: A thirteen-year-old boy named Tyler lies in a hospital, his brain damaged in a tragic accident. By his bedside, his father stands helplessly, as two very different scientists take charge of the boy’s fate. One is a neurosurgeon, whose unorthodox experiments use computers to control a patient’s physical responses during surgery. The other is a researcher with experiments of his own, ones so secret he can reveal them to no one: his attempts to find the spark of human consciousness…and capture it forever.

Together, they will produce a result beyond anything they could have conceived, sending Tyler far beyond the frontiers of medical science into an astonishing netherworld of man and machine - a place no living person has gone before and from which one desperate person will try to bring him back….
