A timely, high-stakes political page-turner.

Behind-the-scenes betrayal, intrigue, and dirty politics are just another day at the office for this thriller, centered on the highest stakes of politics, national security, and ecological fragility. Allen Hansen is a sitting senator running for reelection and the leading opponent of the Sentinel Act, a bill crafted to give the FBI unchecked power to collect U.S. citizens' data, and a corrupt president has ordered an operation to uncover Hansen's past as a college activist, and possible ecoterrorist. But it's two women who are at the heart of this story. Deirdre Owens, the campaign manager for Senator Hansen, desperate to protect him from the press and the plots of the President. Then there's Lauren Bastini, the radical one-time leader of the Oakland Four, now 73, disfigured from an attempted firebombing of a biotech company, and still committed to the violent destruction of the U.S. Government and of corporate America. The author draws on a background in national security and politics to weave an exciting story alive with tension, jolts, and contemporary political resonance. Riveting and relevant. Flawed or seriously damaged characters-all are one or the other-capture the reader's attention and pull them into a scarily credible plot.

The Motorcycle Diaries in reverse as a group of privileged Americans in 1974 travel by land from California to Buenos Aires to visit a friend. Descriptions of the last days before globalization, out of touch with everyone from home. The three endure long bus rides, perform rock and roll songs for Indians, are jailed in Chile after hiking with smugglers through the snowbound wastes of the high Andes. Freedom Pure Freedom, a fictional version of the same story with some of the same characters, imagines a reverse Peace Corps where a poor Indian farmer is brought to the United States.

Sexo, drogas y rock and roll en los Andes, este relato de viaje de tres jóvenes estadounidenses en la ruta captura el espíritu de los años 70 y describe un mundo al borde del cambio. Comenzando en California, estos inocentes se toparon con un camino de drogas, prostitución, contrabando y rock en su ida a Buenos Aires y su retorno a través de una odisea de seis meses y 20.000 kilómetros por tierra comparable a "Diarios de motocicleta" y "En el camino". Relatado a través de fotos de viaje y de historias, estos dos libros en uno describen el gran abismo cultural entre los Estados Unidos y América Latina en tiempos en que la población nativa se encuentra excluida de la sociedad moderna, y generales despiadados asesinan a los jóvenes que se les oponen. Aparentemente ajenos a los peligros que constantemente los acechan, tres hippies logran encontrar un período de libertad pura en América del Sur.

In 1960s Virginia, teenage Beck is growing up, and struggling to come to terms with two tragic deaths in the family. As the daughter of the U.S Senate Majority Leader, Beck is expected by her grandmother to embody virtue and maintain a pristine reputation. But Beck yearns for "a boyfriend, to be a normal girl." Her childhood love, Randall, runs away to become a musician but returns when Beck is sixteen, finally ready to love her. But a single night together leads to a potentially career-destroying political scandal that only her grandmother can help hide: pregnancy. Oshins's experience as a singer/songwriter shines through as Beck explores the "rush of independence and teenage freedom" in garage band rock and roll. The sets of lyrics peppered throughout the narrative mature with the characters as the narrative touches on heavy, period-appropriate topics such as the Vietnam War, abortion, drugs, and mental illness, but doesn't allow them to overtake the story. Moments of welcome levity lighten Oshins's exploration of themes like religion as a means of redemption and the fallout of a life based on lies. Beck's journey is compelling. Oshins devotes welcome time to exploring Beck's surrounding friends and family, a richly characterized group that includes her charming but reckless step-sister, Sonia-Barton, desperate to grow up too soon, and the villain-esque Miss Kitty, abrasive, outspoken, and trying to rebuild her life by going into the music business. Readers will enjoy spending time with characters that are flawed, real, and struggling with inner demons.
