The Ski Jumpers (2022)
Peter Geye
"The Ski Jumpers is a remarkable story about love: between two brothers, and between a father and son. But it's also about the intense love of place, and a time in three lives when gravity had less hold and a spirit might fly. Peter Geye brilliantly captures the physicality of our connection to a landscape and to the moments when--despite incalculable loss--we bring the best of ourselves."

Dark August (2020)
(Gus Monet, book 1)
Katie Tallo
"What elevates Tallo's galloping story is the freshness of the writing, and the deep explorations of character. An imaginative thriller--as much about family, loss, greed, and a young woman's attempt to find a place in the world, as it is about solving a long-buried mystery."

American War (2017)
Omar El Akkad
"Omar El Akkad has created an American future that is both terrifying and plausible."
