Grayback Class (Silent Service Series #1)
by H. Jay RikerThey call it the Cold War-but there are those who burn in its heat. The year is 1985, and two great superpowers-the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.-are locked in a lethal, escalating race of arms and technology. No war has been officially declared. But for those forced to fight in secret, it is do... or die. Reports have been received of a devastating new Soviet weapon. It is called Akula-a prototype attack submarine more advanced than anything in the U.S. undersea arsenal. Unchallenged, it will give America's enemies dominion over the Earth's waters-and an advantage that could prove nothing less than catastrophic to the Free World. Now America's greatest hope travels within the hull of a nearly obsolete Grayback Class submarine. A platoon of SEALs-the nation's most skilled fighting men-is heading into the jaws of the bear on a mission to penetrate Akula's home port, the heavily defended Severodvinsk shipyard on the White Sea. But it is the Grayback's, crew-along with the Navy men manning the accompanying Los Angeles class attack sub-who will be put through the most strenuous trials. For when the mission gets hot, it is the warriors of "The Silent Service" who will be called upon to fight their way out of impossible straits.
The Graybar Hotel: Stories
by Curtis Dawkins<P>In this stunning debut collection, Curtis Dawkins, an MFA graduate and convicted murderer serving life without parole, takes us inside the worlds of prison and prisoners with stories that dazzle with their humor and insight, even as they describe a harsh and barren existence. <P>In Curtis Dawkins’s first short story collection, he offers a window into prison life through the eyes of his narrators and their cellmates. Dawkins reveals the idiosyncrasies, tedium, and desperation of long-term incarceration—he describes men who struggle to keep their souls alive despite the challenges they face. In “A Human Number,” a man spends his days collect-calling strangers just to hear the sounds of the outside world. In “573543,” an inmate recalls his descent into addiction as his prison softball team gears up for an annual tournament against another unit. In “Leche Quemada,” an inmate is released and finds freedom more complex and baffling then he expected. <P>Dawkins’s stories are funny and sad, filled with unforgettable detail—the barter system based on calligraphy-ink tattoos, handmade cards, and cigarettes; a single dandelion smuggled in from the rec yard; candy made from powdered milk, water, sugar, and hot sauce. His characters are nuanced and sympathetic, despite their obvious flaws. The Graybar Hotel tells moving, human stories about men enduring impossible circumstances. <P>Dawkins takes readers beyond the cells into characters’ pasts and memories and desires, into the unusual bonds that form during incarceration and the strained relationships with family members on the outside. He’s an extraordinary writer with a knack for metaphor, and this is a powerful compilation of stories that gives voice to the experience of perhaps the most overlooked members of our society.
