Tempered by Fire Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Backhaus, Phyllis $19.95 Tempered by Fire is a journey through the life of one woman whose faith in God and family led her from a happy childhood in South Dakota to being a beautiful wife and mother, to being a scarred widow in Alaska who fought to survive physical and emotional trauma and came out the other side with dignity, humor, and compassion to lead an inspiring and active life as wife, mother, and grandmother. She has truly lived Philipians 4:11-13 (NIV} "...I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." The Adventures of Balto Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Chargot, Pat $8.95 Balto, the great Alaska sled dog, has been dead since 1933. But he still stands larger-than-life on Dogdom's Mount Olympus, where the world's great canines are immortalized. Yet few people know Baltos true story. Only one small part has been told, and even it has been distorted. Several Balto books have been written. There's even a Balto animated movie, but it, too, is largely fiction. (Balto was NOT part wolf!) Like the books, the movie leaves off where this book begins — and tells the best part of the story. Balto was only three years old when he helped carry serum across Alaska from Nenana to Nome to save the town's children from diphtheria. As leader of the last dog team in the life-saving relay race, he became an overnight sensation — a BONEa fide international celebrity. But much more happened after that. Balto lived for eight more years. His days unfolded like a sled expedition to the North Pole, carrying him in an exhilarating rush over smooth snow one minute, an icy hummock the next. And how does the new story end? With a heart-thumping surprise that you can't imagine — and neither could have Balto. Hook up your harness, step into Balto's booties, and mush off to Balto's true story. The Alaska Supreme Court Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Larsen, Courtney $12.95 Judges of the Alaska Supreme Court have repeatedly shocked and outraged Alaskans with rulings that have negated the majority voice of the Alaska Legislature and the will of the people. The Alaska Supreme Court: Supreme Judges or Supreme Legislators? is a case study of the particular state supreme court case, The Alaska Civil Liberties Union et al. vs. the State of Alaska and the Municipality of Anchorage, which mandated that those government employer-sponsored benefits originally allocated only to dependents of married persons now be provided equally to persons in same-sex domestic relationships. This ruling was made in spite of various attempts by the Alaska legislature and by the people in amending both Alaska Statute and the Alaska Constitution. How much further will the Alaska Supreme Court go in eroding our true form of governmental democracy--the republic? In other words, how many more laws and state constitutional amendments will the Alaska Supreme Court overrule, be it on this particular subject or on any other? The Alaska Supreme Court: Supreme Judge or Supreme Legislature? provides simple, common-sense arguments and practical actions the  layman may undertake to initiate major reformations in the judicial branch of our state government, and to restore the power of law and logic to the people of Alaska--you!

Larry Kaniut, Author of Alaska Bear Tales The Man From Sheep Mountain Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Ueeck, Kim $19.95 Ed Ueeck's (eek) life in Alaska would earn him several titles such as Master Trapper, Sourdough, and The Man from Sheep Mountain. Arriving in 1929 with just change in his pocket, Ed never looked back. Matanuska Valley's snow-capped mountains only strengthened his resolve to make it on his own. Within a year, Ed purchased a remote 80-mile trap line which circumvented Sheep Mountain and was running the trap line on showshoes by himself. Any small mistake on the trap line could cost him his life with no one to come to his rescue. Once, a wolverine he'd trapped came to life as Ed carried it over his shoulder. Quickly emptying his trusty 30-06 into the angry wolverine, Ed narrowly diverted disaster. From having one of his cabins burn to the ground in mid-winter to a near shootout with a trap line jumper, Ed's story is a fascinating window into the life of one of Alaska's true pioneers.

The Oil Producing Economic Alliance (OPEA), through Ryan Carlson, presents a too-good-to-be-true offer to the emerging Red State American republic. Continuing on from where his last book The Fraternity: Alaskan and Russian Roulette left off, C. David adroitly inserts the heroes into an unsettling story predicting our near future. Combining his knowledge of the American and Russian oil patch with the street savvy of his military intelligence cohort, Stan Williams, Ryan once again convinces Stan to join forces with his must trusted Russian friend, ex-KGB Colonel Alexander Romanoff. Their goal is to strike a deal with the OPEA to help stem the rapidly declining American influence in world politics and economics, restoring America's status of the twentieth century, based on equal partnership with China and Russia. It is clear that Gleason has enough familiarity with the Russian political scene to bring authenticity to his novels.
