Hot Run: Deception in the Deep

Hot Run: Deception in the Deep Review

Hot Run tells the story of 2nd Class Petty Officer Thomas Quinn, as he prepares to ship off to Officer Candidate School to be commissioned. He thinks he has the perfect mentor in his submarine’s Commanding Officer, Captain Michael Maddox. However, when a special operation brings some mysterious cargo and its foreign escorts aboard the USS Key West, it’s up to Quinn and his rag-tag band of SEAL team wannabes to find out why the interlopers seem to display growing sovereignty over Captain Maddox and the submarine. Weaved into the narrative are the subtle details which make submarines one of the most harrowing assignments in the military, from the smells of the synthetic air, to the mental fatigue which comes from having nowhere to get away, except for a coffin-sized bunk. These stresses are what the conspirators exploit to keep the crew in check as they race to use the submarine in the most grievous attack on America in history. T. Steven Sullivan was a diver aboard the Los Angeles class fast-attack submarine, the USS Key West SSN-722. Drawing on his experience, he has written Hot Run so that you can be transported into the life of a submariner like no other submarine novel has done before.

Marco Polo: From Venice to Xanadu (Vintage)

Marco Polo: From Venice to Xanadu (Vintage) Review

As the first European to travel extensively throughout Asia, Marco Polo was the earliest bridge between East and West. His famous journeys took him across the boundaries of the known world, along the dangerous Silk Road, and into the court of Kublai Kahn, where he won the trust of the most feared and reviled leader of his day. Polo introduced the cultural riches of China to Europe, spawning centuries of Western fascination with Asia.

In this lively blend of history, biography, and travelogue, acclaimed author Laurence Bergreen separates myth from history, creating the most authoritative account yet of Polo's remarkable adventures. Exceptionally narrated and written with a discerning eye for detail, Marco Polo is as riveting as the life it describes.

Maggie Bean is a top student, a loyal friend, and has a great sense of humor. But the past year's been kind of rough, what with her dad losing his job and her loads of schoolwork. Maggie's learned to cope by eating chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. So much so, that Maggie is dragged by her aunt to weekly Pound Patrollers meetings. No big deal, just utter social devastation. She keeps her mind off PP meetings by "accidentally" running into gorgeous 8th grader Peter Applewood; updating her study spreadsheet--a.k.a, Maggie's Master Multi-Tasker; finding a job for her dad; and secretly practicing for one of the two freshman spots on the synchronized swim team. She's got a long way to go to reach her goals, but when Maggie Bean sets her mind on a goal, nothing--not even a bag of Kit Kats--can stand in her way.
