A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: As if being a priest in this day and age isn't difficult enough, try shepherding two parishes, located hundreds of miles apart, at the same time. A predicament of biblical proportions indeed, but one the indomitable Father Tim Kavanaugh and his cheerful wife, Cynthia, can handle, with a little help from the Lord--not to mention their friends--in Jan Karon's A New Song, the fifth installment in her much-loved Mitford series. When asked to act as interim minister for a tiny island parish in North Carolina's Outer Banks, the recently retired Father heeds the call, all the while trusting in a divine master plan: "He had prayed that God would send him wherever He pleased, and when his bishop presented the idea of Whitecap, he knew it wasn't his bishop's bright idea at all, but God's., Penguin, 2000, 4, Graywolf Press.

With an almost unlimited budget, the Team--consisting of a CIA officer, two Special Forces commandos, and one outnumbered Marine--is authorized to track vital intelligence and then take immediate action. Called upon to track a quantity of radioactive waste that has gone missing in the former Soviet Union, the Team is faced with the fact that this material is now in the wrong people's hands. . . .

R eprinted by permission. All rights reserved. CHAPTER I Antonio's Scheme The raw and mighty West, the greatest stage in all the h istory of the world for so many deeds of daring which verged on t he insane, was seared with grave-lined trails. In many localities the bad-man made history in a terse and business-like way, and a lso made the first law for the locality--that of the gun. There w ere good bad-men and bad bad-men, the killer by necessity and the wanton murderer; and the shifting of these to their proper strat a evolved the foundation for the law of to-day. The good bad-man, those in whose souls lived the germs of law and order and justic e, gradually became arrayed against the other class, and stood up manfully for their principles, let the odds be what they might; and bitter, indeed, was the struggle, and great the price. From t he gold camps of the Rockies to the shrieking towns of the coast, where wantonness stalked unchecked; from the vast stretches of t he cattle ranges to the ever-advancing terminals of the persisten t railroads, to the cow towns, boiling and seething in the loosed passions of men who brooked no restraint in their revels, no one section of country ever boasted of such numbers of genuine bad-m en of both classes as the great, semi-arid Southwest. Here was on e of the worst collections of raw humanity ever broadcast in one locality; it was a word and a shot, a shot and a laugh or a curse . In this red setting was stuck a town which we will call Eagle, the riffle which caught all the dregs of passing humanity. Unmapp ed, known only to those who had visited it, reared its flimsy bui ldings in the face of God and rioted day and night with no though t of reckoning; mad, insane with hellishness unlimited. Late in t he afternoon rode Antonio, broncho-buster for the H2, a man of li ttle courage, much avarice, and great capacity for hatred. Crafty , filled with cunning of the coyote kind, shifty-eyed, gloomy, ta citurn, and scowling, he was well fitted for the part he had elec ted to play in the range dispute between his ranch and the Bar-20 . He was absolutely without mercy or conscience; indeed, one migh t aptly say that his conscience, if he had ever known one, had be en pulled out by the roots and its place filled with viciousness. Cold-blooded in his ferocity, easily angered and quick to commit murder if the risk were small, he embraced within his husk of so ul the putrescence of all that was evil. In Eagle he had friends who were only a shade less evil than himself; but they had what h e lacked and because of it were entitled to a forced respect of s mall weight--they had courage, that spontaneous, initiative, heed less courage which toned the atmosphere of the whole West to a ma gnificent crimson. Were it not for the reason that they had drift ed to his social level they would have spurned his acquaintance a nd shot him for a buzzard; but, while they secretly held him in g reat contempt for his cowardice, they admired his criminal cunnin g, and profited by it. He was too wise to show himself in the tru e light to his foreman and the outfit, knowing full well that dea th would be the response, and so lived a lie until he met his fri ends of the town, when he threw off his cloak and became himself, and where he plotted against the man who treated him fairly. Rid ing into the town, he stopped before a saloon and slouched in to the bar, where the proprietor was placing a new stock of liquors on the shelves. Where's Benito, an' th' rest? he asked. Back ther e, replied the other, nodding toward a rear room. Who's in there? Benito, Hall, Archer an' Frisco. Where's Shaw? Him an' Clausen a n' Cavalry went out 'bout ten minutes ago. I want to see 'em when they come in, Antonio remarked, headed towards the door, where h e listened, and then went in. In the small room four men were gro uped around a table, drinking and talking, and at his entry they looked up and nodded. He nodded in reply and seated himself apart from them, where he soon became wrapped in thought. Benito arose and went to the door. Mescal, pronto, he said to the man outside . Damned pronto, too, growled Antonio. A man would die of alkali in this place before he's waited on. The proprietor brought a bot tle and filled the glasses, giving Antonio his drink first, and s ilently withdrew. The broncho-buster tossed off the fiery stuff a nd then turned his shifty eyes on the group. Where's Shaw? Don't know--back soon, replied Benito. Why didn't he wait, when he know ed I was comin' in? Hall leaned back from the table and replied, keenly watching the inquisitor, Because he don't give a damn. You --! Antonio shouted, half rising, but the others interfered and h e sank back again, content to let it pass. But not so Hall, whose Colt was half drawn. I'll kill you some day, he gritted, but bef ore anything could come of it Shaw and his companions entered the room and the trouble was quelled. Soon the group was deep in dis cussion over the merits of a scheme which Antonio unfolded to the m, and the more it was weighed the better it appeared. Finally Sh aw leaned back and filled his pipe. You've got th' brains of th' devil,' Tony. Eet ees not'ing, replied Antonio. Oh, drop that lin go an' talk straight--you ain't on th' H2 now, growled Hall. Beni to, you know this country like a book, Shaw continued. Where's a good place for us to work from, or ain't there no choice? Thunder Mesa. Well, what of it? On the edge of the desert, high, big. Th e walls are stone, an' so very smooth. Nobody can get up. How can we get up then? There's a trail at one end, replied Antonio, cro ssing his legs and preparing to roll a cigarette. It's too steep for cayuses, an' too narrow; but we can crawl up. An' once up, al l hell can't follow as long as our cartridges hold out. Water? in quired Frisco. At th' bottom of th' trail, an' th' spring is on t op, Antonio replied. Not much, but enough. Can you work yore end all right? asked Shaw. Yes, laughed the other. I am 'that fool, A ntonio,' on th' ranch. But they're th' fools. We can steal them b lind an' if they find it out--well, here he shrugged his shoulder s, th' Bar-20 can take th' blame. I'll fix that, all right. This trouble about th' line is just what I've been waitin' for, an' I' ll help it along. If we can get 'em fightin' we'll run off with t h' bone we want. That'll be easy. But can you get 'em fightin'? a sked Cavalry, so called because he had spent several years in tha t branch of the Government service, and deserted because of the d iscipline. Antonio laughed and ordered more mescal and for some t ime took no part in the discussion which went on about him. He wa s dreaming of success and plenty and a ranch of his own which he would start in Old Mexico, in a place far removed from the border , and where no questions would be asked. He would be a rich man, according to the standards of that locality, and what he said wou ld be law among the peons. He liked to day-dream, for everything came out just as he wished; there was no discordant note. He was so certain of success, so conceited as not to ask himself if any of the Bar-20 or H2 outfits were not his equal or superior in int elligence. It was only a matter of time, he told himself, for he could easily get the two ranches embroiled in a range war, and on ce embroiled, his plan would succeed and he would be safe. What d o you want for your share, Tony? suddenly asked Shaw. Half. What! Half? Si. You're loco! cried the other. Do you reckon we're goin g to buck up agin th' biggest an' hardest fightin' outfit in this country an' take all sorts of chances for a measly half, to be d ivided up among seven of us! He brought his fist down on the tabl e with a resounding thump. You an' yore game can go to hell first ! he shouted. I like a hog, all right, sneered Clausen, angrily. I thought it out an' I got to look after th' worst an' most impor tant part of it, an' take three chances to you fellers' one, repl ied Antonio, frowning. I said half, an' it goes. Run all th' ends , an' keep it all, exclaimed Hall. An', by God, we've got a hand in it, now. If you try to hog it we'll drop a word where it'll do th' most good, an' don't you forget it, neither. Antonio is righ t, asserted Benito, excitedly. It's risky for him. Keep yore yall er mouth shut, growled Cavalry. Who gave you any say in this? Hal f, said Antonio, shrugging his shoulders. Look here, you, cried S haw, who was, in reality, the leader of the crowd, inasmuch as he controlled all the others with the exception of Benito and Anton io, and these at times by the judicious use of flattery. We'll ad mit that you've got a right to th' biggest share, but not to no h alf. You have a chance to get away, because you can watch 'em, bu t how about us, out there on th' edge of hell? If they come for u s we won't know nothing about it till we're surrounded. Now we wa nt to play square with you, and we'll give you twice as much as a ny one of th' rest of us. That'll make nine shares an' give you t wo of 'em. What more do you want, when you've got to have us to r un th' game at all? Antonio laughed ironically. Yes. I'm where I can watch, an' get killed first. You can hold th' mesa for a mon th. I ain't as easy as I look. It's my game, not yourn; an' if yo u don't like what I ask, stay out. We will! cried Hall, arising, followed by the others. His hand rested on the butt of his revol ver and trouble seemed imminent. Benito wavered and then slid nea rer to Antonio. You can run yore game all by yore lonesome, as lo ng as you can! Hall shouted. I know a feller what knows Cassidy, an' I'll spoil yore little play right now. You'll look nice at th ' end of a rope, won't you? It's this: share like Shaw said or ge t out of here, and look out for trouble aplenty to-morrow morning . I've put up with yore gall an' swallered yore insultin' actions just as long as I'm going to, and I've got a powerful notion to fix you right here and now! No fightin', you fools! cried the pro prietor, grabbing his Colt and running to the door of the room. I t's up to you fellers to stick together! I'll be damned if I'll s tand-- began Frisco. They want too much, interrupted Antonio, ang rily, keeping close watch over Hall. We want a fair share, an' th at's all! retorted Shaw. Sit down, all of you. We can wrastle thi s out without no gunplay. You-all been yappin' like a set of fool s, said the proprietor. I've heard every word you-all said. If yo u got a mite of sense you'll be some tender how you shout about i t. It's shore risky enough without tellin' everybody this side of sun-up. I mean just what I said, asserted Hall. It's Shaw's offe r, or nothin'. We ain't playing fool. Here! Here! cried Shaw, pus hing Hall into a seat. If you two have got anything to settle, wa it till some other time. That's more like it, growled the proprie tor, shuffling back to the bar. Good Lord, 'Tony, cried Shaw in a low voice. That's fair enough; we've got a right to something, a in't we? Don't let a good thing fall through just because you wan t th' whole earth. Better have a little than none. Well, gimme a third, then. I'll give you a slug in th' eye, you hog! promised H all, starting to rise again, but Shaw held him back. Sit down, yo u fool! he ordered, angrily. Then he turned to Antonio. Third don 't go; take my offer or leave it. Gimme a fourth; that's fair eno ugh. Shaw thought for a moment and then looked up. Well, that's m ore like it. What do you say, fellers? No! cried Hall. Two-ninths , or nothin'! A fourth is two-eighths, only a little more, Shaw r eplied. Well, all right, muttered Hall, sullenly. That's very goo d, laughed Benito, glad that things were clearing. The others gav e their consent to the division and Shaw smiled. Well, that's mor e like it. Now we'll go into this thing an' sift it out. Keep mum about it--there's twenty men in town that would want to join us if they knowed. I'm goin' to be boss; what I say goes, spoke up A ntonio. It's my game an' I'm takin' th' most risky end. You ain't got sand enough to be boss of anything, sneered Hall. Yore sand is chalk. You'll say too much someday, retorted Antonio, glaring. Oh, not to you, I reckon, rejoined Hall, easily. Shut up, both o f you! snapped Shaw. You can be boss, Tony, he said, winking at H all. You've got more brains for a thing like this than any of us. I don't see how you can figger it out like you do. Antonio laugh ed but he remembered one thing, and swore to take payment if the plan leaked out; the proprietor had confessed hearing every word, which was not at all to his liking. If Quinn should tell, well, Quinn would die; he would see to that, he and Benito. All new ma terial copyright 1992 by Tom Doherty Associates, Inc. ., Tor Books, 1992, 2.5, Pocket Books.

When asked to act as interim minister for a tiny island parish in North Carolina's Outer Banks, the recently retired Father heeds the call, all the while trusting in a divine master plan: "He had prayed that God would send him wherever He pleased, and when his bishop presented the idea of Whitecap, he knew it wasn't his bishop's bright idea at all, but God's., Penguin, 2000, 4, Graywolf Press.

R eprinted by permission. All rights reserved. CHAPTER I Antonio's Scheme The raw and mighty West, the greatest stage in all the h istory of the world for so many deeds of daring which verged on t he insane, was seared with grave-lined trails. In many localities the bad-man made history in a terse and business-like way, and a lso made the first law for the locality--that of the gun. There w ere good bad-men and bad bad-men, the killer by necessity and the wanton murderer; and the shifting of these to their proper strat a evolved the foundation for the law of to-day. The good bad-man, those in whose souls lived the germs of law and order and justic e, gradually became arrayed against the other class, and stood up manfully for their principles, let the odds be what they might; and bitter, indeed, was the struggle, and great the price. From t he gold camps of the Rockies to the shrieking towns of the coast, where wantonness stalked unchecked; from the vast stretches of t he cattle ranges to the ever-advancing terminals of the persisten t railroads, to the cow towns, boiling and seething in the loosed passions of men who brooked no restraint in their revels, no one section of country ever boasted of such numbers of genuine bad-m en of both classes as the great, semi-arid Southwest. Here was on e of the worst collections of raw humanity ever broadcast in one locality; it was a word and a shot, a shot and a laugh or a curse . In this red setting was stuck a town which we will call Eagle, the riffle which caught all the dregs of passing humanity. Unmapp ed, known only to those who had visited it, reared its flimsy bui ldings in the face of God and rioted day and night with no though t of reckoning; mad, insane with hellishness unlimited. Late in t he afternoon rode Antonio, broncho-buster for the H2, a man of li ttle courage, much avarice, and great capacity for hatred. Crafty , filled with cunning of the coyote kind, shifty-eyed, gloomy, ta citurn, and scowling, he was well fitted for the part he had elec ted to play in the range dispute between his ranch and the Bar-20 . He was absolutely without mercy or conscience; indeed, one migh t aptly say that his conscience, if he had ever known one, had be en pulled out by the roots and its place filled with viciousness. Cold-blooded in his ferocity, easily angered and quick to commit murder if the risk were small, he embraced within his husk of so ul the putrescence of all that was evil. In Eagle he had friends who were only a shade less evil than himself; but they had what h e lacked and because of it were entitled to a forced respect of s mall weight--they had courage, that spontaneous, initiative, heed less courage which toned the atmosphere of the whole West to a ma gnificent crimson. Were it not for the reason that they had drift ed to his social level they would have spurned his acquaintance a nd shot him for a buzzard; but, while they secretly held him in g reat contempt for his cowardice, they admired his criminal cunnin g, and profited by it. He was too wise to show himself in the tru e light to his foreman and the outfit, knowing full well that dea th would be the response, and so lived a lie until he met his fri ends of the town, when he threw off his cloak and became himself, and where he plotted against the man who treated him fairly. Rid ing into the town, he stopped before a saloon and slouched in to the bar, where the proprietor was placing a new stock of liquors on the shelves. Where's Benito, an' th' rest? he asked. Back ther e, replied the other, nodding toward a rear room. Who's in there? Benito, Hall, Archer an' Frisco. Where's Shaw? Him an' Clausen a n' Cavalry went out 'bout ten minutes ago. I want to see 'em when they come in, Antonio remarked, headed towards the door, where h e listened, and then went in. In the small room four men were gro uped around a table, drinking and talking, and at his entry they looked up and nodded. He nodded in reply and seated himself apart from them, where he soon became wrapped in thought. Benito arose and went to the door. Mescal, pronto, he said to the man outside . Damned pronto, too, growled Antonio. A man would die of alkali in this place before he's waited on. The proprietor brought a bot tle and filled the glasses, giving Antonio his drink first, and s ilently withdrew. The broncho-buster tossed off the fiery stuff a nd then turned his shifty eyes on the group. Where's Shaw? Don't know--back soon, replied Benito. Why didn't he wait, when he know ed I was comin' in? Hall leaned back from the table and replied, keenly watching the inquisitor, Because he don't give a damn. You --! Antonio shouted, half rising, but the others interfered and h e sank back again, content to let it pass. But not so Hall, whose Colt was half drawn. I'll kill you some day, he gritted, but bef ore anything could come of it Shaw and his companions entered the room and the trouble was quelled. Soon the group was deep in dis cussion over the merits of a scheme which Antonio unfolded to the m, and the more it was weighed the better it appeared. Finally Sh aw leaned back and filled his pipe. You've got th' brains of th' devil,' Tony. Eet ees not'ing, replied Antonio. Oh, drop that lin go an' talk straight--you ain't on th' H2 now, growled Hall. Beni to, you know this country like a book, Shaw continued. Where's a good place for us to work from, or ain't there no choice? Thunder Mesa. Well, what of it? On the edge of the desert, high, big. Th e walls are stone, an' so very smooth. Nobody can get up. How can we get up then? There's a trail at one end, replied Antonio, cro ssing his legs and preparing to roll a cigarette. It's too steep for cayuses, an' too narrow; but we can crawl up. An' once up, al l hell can't follow as long as our cartridges hold out. Water? in quired Frisco. At th' bottom of th' trail, an' th' spring is on t op, Antonio replied. Not much, but enough. Can you work yore end all right? asked Shaw. Yes, laughed the other. I am 'that fool, A ntonio,' on th' ranch. But they're th' fools. We can steal them b lind an' if they find it out--well, here he shrugged his shoulder s, th' Bar-20 can take th' blame. I'll fix that, all right. This trouble about th' line is just what I've been waitin' for, an' I' ll help it along. If we can get 'em fightin' we'll run off with t h' bone we want. That'll be easy. But can you get 'em fightin'? a sked Cavalry, so called because he had spent several years in tha t branch of the Government service, and deserted because of the d iscipline. Antonio laughed and ordered more mescal and for some t ime took no part in the discussion which went on about him. He wa s dreaming of success and plenty and a ranch of his own which he would start in Old Mexico, in a place far removed from the border , and where no questions would be asked. He would be a rich man, according to the standards of that locality, and what he said wou ld be law among the peons. He liked to day-dream, for everything came out just as he wished; there was no discordant note. He was so certain of success, so conceited as not to ask himself if any of the Bar-20 or H2 outfits were not his equal or superior in int elligence. It was only a matter of time, he told himself, for he could easily get the two ranches embroiled in a range war, and on ce embroiled, his plan would succeed and he would be safe. What d o you want for your share, Tony? suddenly asked Shaw. Half. What! Half? Si. You're loco! cried the other. Do you reckon we're goin g to buck up agin th' biggest an' hardest fightin' outfit in this country an' take all sorts of chances for a measly half, to be d ivided up among seven of us! He brought his fist down on the tabl e with a resounding thump. You an' yore game can go to hell first ! he shouted. I like a hog, all right, sneered Clausen, angrily. I thought it out an' I got to look after th' worst an' most impor tant part of it, an' take three chances to you fellers' one, repl ied Antonio, frowning. I said half, an' it goes. Run all th' ends , an' keep it all, exclaimed Hall. An', by God, we've got a hand in it, now. If you try to hog it we'll drop a word where it'll do th' most good, an' don't you forget it, neither. Antonio is righ t, asserted Benito, excitedly. It's risky for him. Keep yore yall er mouth shut, growled Cavalry. Who gave you any say in this? Hal f, said Antonio, shrugging his shoulders. Look here, you, cried S haw, who was, in reality, the leader of the crowd, inasmuch as he controlled all the others with the exception of Benito and Anton io, and these at times by the judicious use of flattery. We'll ad mit that you've got a right to th' biggest share, but not to no h alf. You have a chance to get away, because you can watch 'em, bu t how about us, out there on th' edge of hell? If they come for u s we won't know nothing about it till we're surrounded. Now we wa nt to play square with you, and we'll give you twice as much as a ny one of th' rest of us. That'll make nine shares an' give you t wo of 'em. What more do you want, when you've got to have us to r un th' game at all? Antonio laughed ironically. Yes. I'm where I can watch, an' get killed first. You can hold th' mesa for a mon th. I ain't as easy as I look. It's my game, not yourn; an' if yo u don't like what I ask, stay out. We will! cried Hall, arising, followed by the others. His hand rested on the butt of his revol ver and trouble seemed imminent. Benito wavered and then slid nea rer to Antonio. You can run yore game all by yore lonesome, as lo ng as you can! Hall shouted. I know a feller what knows Cassidy, an' I'll spoil yore little play right now. You'll look nice at th ' end of a rope, won't you? It's this: share like Shaw said or ge t out of here, and look out for trouble aplenty to-morrow morning . I've put up with yore gall an' swallered yore insultin' actions just as long as I'm going to, and I've got a powerful notion to fix you right here and now! No fightin', you fools! cried the pro prietor, grabbing his Colt and running to the door of the room. I t's up to you fellers to stick together! I'll be damned if I'll s tand-- began Frisco. They want too much, interrupted Antonio, ang rily, keeping close watch over Hall. We want a fair share, an' th at's all! retorted Shaw. Sit down, all of you. We can wrastle thi s out without no gunplay. You-all been yappin' like a set of fool s, said the proprietor. I've heard every word you-all said. If yo u got a mite of sense you'll be some tender how you shout about i t. It's shore risky enough without tellin' everybody this side of sun-up. I mean just what I said, asserted Hall. It's Shaw's offe r, or nothin'. We ain't playing fool. Here! Here! cried Shaw, pus hing Hall into a seat. If you two have got anything to settle, wa it till some other time. That's more like it, growled the proprie tor, shuffling back to the bar. Good Lord, 'Tony, cried Shaw in a low voice. That's fair enough; we've got a right to something, a in't we? Don't let a good thing fall through just because you wan t th' whole earth. Better have a little than none. Well, gimme a third, then. I'll give you a slug in th' eye, you hog! promised H all, starting to rise again, but Shaw held him back. Sit down, yo u fool! he ordered, angrily. Then he turned to Antonio. Third don 't go; take my offer or leave it. Gimme a fourth; that's fair eno ugh. Shaw thought for a moment and then looked up. Well, that's m ore like it. What do you say, fellers? No! cried Hall. Two-ninths , or nothin'! A fourth is two-eighths, only a little more, Shaw r eplied. Well, all right, muttered Hall, sullenly. That's very goo d, laughed Benito, glad that things were clearing. The others gav e their consent to the division and Shaw smiled. Well, that's mor e like it. Now we'll go into this thing an' sift it out. Keep mum about it--there's twenty men in town that would want to join us if they knowed. I'm goin' to be boss; what I say goes, spoke up A ntonio. It's my game an' I'm takin' th' most risky end. You ain't got sand enough to be boss of anything, sneered Hall. Yore sand is chalk. You'll say too much someday, retorted Antonio, glaring. Oh, not to you, I reckon, rejoined Hall, easily. Shut up, both o f you! snapped Shaw. You can be boss, Tony, he said, winking at H all. You've got more brains for a thing like this than any of us. I don't see how you can figger it out like you do. Antonio laugh ed but he remembered one thing, and swore to take payment if the plan leaked out; the proprietor had confessed hearing every word, which was not at all to his liking. If Quinn should tell, well, Quinn would die; he would see to that, he and Benito. All new ma terial copyright 1992 by Tom Doherty Associates, Inc. ., Tor Books, 1992, 2.5, Pocket Books.
