After ellisting two family members as a support crew to keep him from falling into delirium - or worse - Johnson began his run through the unforgiving, desolate wasteland of 120 degree heat .and into a profound new realm where body and mind are pushed to their limits. In this haunting account of what hapened, he offers an enlightening look into what makes us persevere and survive - and, ultimately, what it means to be alive." - from the rear outer cover.

With his first five John Deal novels, Standiford attracted universal critical praise, and acclaim from such masters as Elmore Leonard, Tony Hillerman, and Stephen King. With his new Deal, however, he has surpassed himself. Attempting to resurrect the Miami building firm that his late father ruined, Deal is elated to be awarded part of a major project, only to find that the project has strings. Deal never knew that, under duress, his father had been working secretly for a government agency, and now the same agency wants Deal to take his place. With great reluctance, he agrees--and his life is immediately torn apart, as he is caught in the middle of a vicious personal vendetta, his family threatened, and his friends hunted, his own existence hanging by a thread. Deal's only chance is to turn the tables on everybody seeking to use him, but unless he finds a way to do it soon . . . there'll be nobody left to save. Filled with intense, character-driven action and rich, textured prose, Deal with the Dead proves again that "like Raymond Chandler, Standiford is a poet in a trenchcoat" (The Miami Herald). ; Les Standiford is the director of the creative writing program at Florida International University. He has lived in Miami since 1981. ; nick to bottom of front cover ; remainder mark on bottom of textblock ; G/G. Signed by Author(s). Book.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition black boards, black cloth spine, and silver and black spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Leon Uris; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Prologue: The Year of 1894 and About the Author. "When master novelist Leon Uris wrote Trinity, he gave the world a modern classic. Now Uris continues his epic story of the Irish struggle for freedom in Redemption. Set against the dramatic backdrop of increased unrest in Ireland and a world about to be pitched headlong into the nightmare of the First World War, Redemption weaves together unforgettalbe new characters with those that readers came to know so well in Trinity: Liam Larkin, forced to emigrate from Ireland to New Zealand in 1895, has become a prosperous sheep baron; his oldest son, Rory, a seething "wiild colonial boy," lives restlessly with a dark Larkin family secret and is haunted by the legend of his uncle, Conor Larkin, who was killed in an Irish Republican reaid; and Atty Fitzpatrick, and aristocrat and Conor's last love turned member of the illegal Brotherhood. Here is a young Winston Churchill, destined to make a profound impact on Ireland, accompanying his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, to Ireland in the Protestant cause, rising to First Lord of the Admiralty and becoming chief architect of the Gallipoli catastrophe. Wealthy, beautiful Anglo industrialist Countess Caroline Wee Hubble, who has never overcome her unrequited love for Conor Larkin, weaves her way like a single thread through the lives of the Larkin family, ultimately using her influence with Churchill in a dangerous gambit. Redemption takes us from the expansive frontier of New Zealand to the shipyards of Belfast; it follows Rory Larkin who, determined to fight his way to Ireland, enlists in the ANZAC Corps, embarking on an odyssey that takes him from Australia to a scorching desert training base in Egypt and the fleshpots of Cairo to the disastrous debacle at Gallipoli; it brings us to a dangerous Ireland after the violent Easter Uprising of 1916, when a fledgling Irish Republican Army declared independence and named a provisional government only to be put down within a week by the English, fanning the flames of defiance and bloodshed that would further darken the political landscape of Ireland well into the century. Redemption is played out in the magnificence of New Zealand's green mountains, on the bloody beaches and cliffs of Gallipoli, in a rioutous Cairo, and on the streets of rebel Dublin, where it spirals to a stunning climax as Rory Lrkin reaches his motherland with a mission of vengeance. Redemption is more than a monumental tale of the Irish struggle for independence; it is the history of the lives and internecine warfare of three great families - the Larkins, the Weed-Hubble clan, and the Fitzpatricks - and the men and women they loved. Redemption is a majestic work that will stand alone as a classic for all time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
