=O New fiction at Memorial Library: Andrews, V.C. "Web of Dreams" (Pocket Books, 1990). The number one best selling saga of the Casteel family comes to an spellbinding conclusion in this volume, a mesmerizing tale of for- bidden obsessions, heartless be- trayal, and a desperate search for love, safety and a family to treasure. Mauney Asimov, Isaac (Doubleday, 1989). For close to 40 years, Asimov has thrilled millions of readers worldwide with his renowned sci- ence fiction series. Now, in a major publishing event, the Grand Master of Science Fiction brings to life his first new world in nearly two decades. It is AD 2236. Earth and its 100 space colonies are crowded, oanarchical, socially degenerate. Just two light years distant, hidden in a corner of the Galaxy, looms a star that neighbors Earth' sun, a star that supports its own burgeoning planetary system. When Nemesis was discovered it was seen as the last hope for the human race, a starting point for a brave band of adventurers led by the brilliant, if megalomanic, Commander James Pitt... "Nemesis" Chappel, Fred. "Brighten the Corner Where You are." (St. Martin's Press, 1989) Joe Robert Kirkman's day starts before dawn on a balmy May Friday in 1946 in the mountains of North Carolina. He is up a tree, hunting the mythical devil-possum with the other three members of the Crazy Creek Wildlife Appreciation Committee and an as- sortment of dogs barking on far be- low. Later this day he will rescue a girl from drowning, debate the the- ory of evolution with his students in third period General Science at the old schoolhouse where he teaches, confront the philosophical goat on the schools' roof and a mysterious custodian in its base- ment, and finally somewhat worse for the ware after an unusual day, Joe Robert will face the school board with his job on the line. Shining Armor" (Pocket Books, 1989). In her first novel to be published in hardcover, Jude Deveraux has created her most enchanting hero and heroine yet, in her most spe- cial, most moving love story, the romantic fantasy of every woman's dreams. Donnelly, Frances "Shake Down the Stars" (St. Martin's Press, 1989). The setting is England, and the time from 1939 to 1945--six turbu- lent, dramatic years that changed millions of lives. This book is the story of three of those lives--three young women and their friends, families, and lovers. Francis, Dick. "Starlight" (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1989). In his stunning 28th novel, Francis again proves he has no equal. As Derek Franklin, an in- jured steeplechase jockey, nears the end of his career, he is thrust into trouble and mayhem by the acci- dental death of his older brother, Greenville. "I inherited my broth- er's desk, his business, his gadgets, his enemies, his home, and his mis- tress,” says Derek. "I inherited my brother's life and it nearly killed me." Once again, Francis shows he is a consistent winner and gives a very good ride. Howatch, Susan "Ultimate Prizes" (Alfred A. Knopf, 1989). This is the third and most en- thralling book yet in Howatch's ex- traordinary new sequence of nov- els. The narrator is Neville Aysgarth: witty, intelligent, power- fully ambitious. Driven by memo- ries of his impoverished childhood, a drive tempered by his ardent faith, he has learned to seek world- ly success in its more subtle forms. This is a rivetting exploration of the interplay of past and present in the human psyche, and of the war- ring hungers for sin and salvation in the human soul. 4 Jong, Erica "Any Woman's Blues" (Harper & Row, Publisher, 1990) Rose Turner With her ground breaking ten Deveraux, Jude.

This novel deals with one of the most important and dif- ficult subjects of our times: emo- tional addiction and codependency. Murdock, Iris. "The Message to the Planet" (Viking, 1989). An enthralling story of love and betrayal, faith and doubt, this novel tells of a charismatic thinker and healer and of the men and women whose destinies are inextricably linked with it. At the novel's center is Marcus Valler, a mathematician, who is pursued by his ardent but uncertain discipline, Alfred Luden. Luden believes Valler has discov- ered a secret which is of vital im- portance to mankind. His friends are more skeptical. Murdock de- scribes the rise and fall of a frus- trated metaphysician, and the be- wildered striving of men and women confronted with the mys- teries of being human. Pentecost, Hugh. "Patterns for Terror" (Carroll & Graf Publisher, Inc., 1990). Pentecost, one of the most con- sistently entertaining mystery writ- ers of the last 50 years, is the cre- ator of the endearing series detective, Uncle George Crowder-- the central figure in this existing suspense novel. Uncle George is roused early one morning by his nephew, Jerry, who has just wit- nessed the death of a local school teacher. An autopsy revels that the death occurred from a ruptured pouch of heroin concealed in the stomach. And from there, the stun- ning inference that the dead man was a drug courier.

As society faces the implications of human evolution first-hand, and political maneuvering threatens to tear their clan apart, the mutants must find a way to protect their identity, their lovers and their very lives. Thorndike, John. "The Potato Baron (Villard Books, 1989). A powerful novel of love, mar- riage, and the ties that bind men and women together, this novel asks a timely question: In a mar- riage of equal partners, who de- cides where and how to live? Lyrically powerfully, it deftly ex- plores the commitment and the + challenge of modern marriage, a shared life close to the land, chil- dren, and finally, what happens when the foundation of a couple's life is threatened. Both dramatical- ly compelling and emotionally true, it again proves the power of John Thorndike's remarkable tal- ent. Vidal, Gore. "Hollywood" (Random House, 1990). The time is 1917, and Woodrow Wilson is about to lead the United States into the Great War in Europe. In California, a new indus- try has been born: picture plays, and with it has come an unprece- dented ability to manipulate reality. America is on the eve of a dramatic and irreversible transformation. This is history as brilliantly imag- ined and recreated by Gore Vidal. Through both fictional and histori- cal characters, Vital captures America on the eve of its plummet from isolation and its subsequent rise to world hegemony. Once - more Vidal proves himself a superb story teller and an excruciating per- spective writer fascinated by pow- er, intrigue and human nature.
