Candle Sparks

 Goodman, Lilly
Seeking adventure, dog musher Heidi Ravison moves to a tiny remote town in Alaska's interior knowing nothing about either the quirky characters that composed the community nor the harsh flavor of the land which renders it enchanting. Her many backwoods adventures, which range from having to haul drinking water at fifty degrees below zero, to searching for a wrecked bush plane, lead Heidi to realize a passionate love for the land. But when she finds herself amidst a bitter battle between conservationists and recreational snowmachiners, Heidi learns that Candle, Alaska can break hearts as well. Sprinkled with satire, Candle Sparks brings the reader along on a vivid journey into the wilds of bush Alaska.

 Walden, Ron
Pipeline security guard, Dan Webster, and pump station technician, Gwen Stevens, discover a nuclear device inside an ultrasonic inspection pig, and are convinced it is a part of a sinister conspiracy involving the pipeline. They discover a multinational plot, Cinch Knot, masterminded by influential oil and shipping leaders to restrict the flow of oil by nuking the pipeline and driving the price of oil upward. Thus, the fate of the Alaska oil pipeline, Valdez, pristine, Prince William sound, and economic stability of the world, as well as the lives of thousands of people are threatened unless the bomb is disarmed and the schemers are stopped. Fast moving -- Cinch Knot's 200 pages takes the reader on an intriguing international chase to stop the scheme, and to the story's surprise ending.


Demons of Stony River

 Willard, Tom
Demons of Stony River, a unique story about an extremely solitary animal, the Alaska wolverine, is more than a good fictional story about one of nature's most fascinating animals. It is a highly informative study of fauna and flora, wilderness, and nature. Written as fiction, and accompanied by accurate information and drawings of Alaska's flora and fauna -- 192 pages -- fully indexed. The author's expertise and knowledge is based on first hand observation and experience with the exactitude of a biologist. Tom tells it the way it is in nature with her endless cycles and survivals of the fittest. The beauty of wilderness is described with touches of poetic splendor. The stark realism of the bloody fight for survival with nature in the raw, is told with no punches pulled, yet without cheap sensationalism. This book tells it like it is in a clean, clear, easy to read style for young and old alike. Anyone with an interest in the reality of nature will find this book worth the reading.


Forgiving Rose

 Mc Cart, Janet
The many-faceted nature of friendship among a group of "forty-something" women is revealed in all its glory and tackiness when the one who struck it rich drowns in her hot tub in Anchorage, Alaska. Forgiving Rose is a novel of mystery, friendship, and romance. Surprising circumstance surrounding the death of a manipulative but endearing friend brings seven women back to Alaska for her funeral, and a most uncommon wake. As old friends reunite, gossip, and relive old times, they find each of them has mixed feelings about their deceased friend, Rose. Details about Rose's hot tub death are revealed as these women connect with the deceased's boyfriend, ex-husband, and stepson. Friendships are tested as ironies unfold, unlikely romances strike -- and extravagant surprises await them. When longtime friends hold a wake for Rose, they find that remembering her is easy, but forgiving Rose takes almost more than they can give.


Gold in Trib 1

 Anderson, Douglas
Gold in Trib 1 is an account of a flying, hiking, and gold prospecting adventure in wild, present-day Alaska. It is the story of the exploits of two good friends and their adventures while prospecting for gold. It is a factual account where possible and where not factual, it is the way they would have liked it. As a result, readers will enjoy the book for what it is, and will not take it so seriously as to dash off with expectations of finding their fortune. There is still much gold in Alaska, but Douglas may have made discovering the Glory Hole, wherever it may be, sound somewhat easier and more financially rewarding than it really was.

 Anderson, Douglas
As a sequel to Gold in Trib 1, Doug's new book, Mystery in Trib 2 is an interesting blend of fact and fiction; factual in terms of the flying, hiking, and gold-mining two friends enjoyed; fictional in the form of a cleverly woven mystery concerning the loss of a World War II military aircraft. The story is well researched and so masterfully formulated the reader will be hard pressed to separate historical fact from fiction. Mystery in Trib 2 portrays wilderness Alaska accurately and as it can be experienced by anyone fired with a lust for outdoor adventure.


Pray for Justice

 Otte, Marc
When a mutual friend and fellow church member is murdered during a prison break, two modern-day deputy U.S. Marshals, Skip Garret and Terry McGreggor, are spurred into a horse back chase after three ruthless outlaws through the rugged mountains of northwestern Montana. The manhunt pits them, not only against vicious killers and the remote Montana wilderness, but against hate, their own spirituality, and the hard decisions a lawman must make in the discharge of his duties. Without most of the conveniences of a present-day peace officer, the friends are content to rely on their trusty mountain horses and personal strengths. Not until the most famous of all Mormon gunfighters, Orrin Porter Rockwell, pays them a visit from across death's veil, do they come to realize the importance of relying on a power far greater than their own. Pray for Justice reads like your favorite western novel.

Guided by a member of the famed Royal Canadian Mounted Police and armed with nothing more than a cryptic warning from the famous Mormon gunfighter and sometimes guardian angel, Porter Rockwell, Deputy Garret must leave his wife whos expecting their first child and head north to search for his friends who hope for rescue -- but are trying desperately not to be found.
