"For sheer reading pleasure Ladee Hubbard’s original and wildly inventive novel is in a class by itself.”
—Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize-winning author of The Bluest Eye, Beloved, and Song of Solomon

—Stewart O’Nan, author of West of Sunset
 

Sons and Soldiers

Sons and Soldiers

Available in Print, E-book, or Audiobook.

“A must-read. ... Poignant. ... Henderson is a wonderful storyteller who has written a never-before-told chapter of the Second World War.”
―Jewish Book Council

“A revelatory work about a group of Jewish men whose World War II journeys are so implausible and heroic it’s difficult to understand why so few of us knew about them before now. A book of fear, flight and almost divine retribution.”
―Steve Twomey, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Countdown to Pearl Harbor
 

See What I Have Done

See What I Have Done

Available in Print and E-book.

“[The] novel is compelling, scary―and gruesomely visceral.” ―Entertainment Weekly (one of Summer’s 20 Must-Read Books)

“A dazzling debut novel that is as unsettling as the summer heat that permeates the crime scene . . . an unusually intimate portrait. There are books about murder and there are books about imploding families; this is the rare novel that seamlessly weaves the two together, asking as many questions as it answers.”
―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Sea Power: The History and Geopolitics of the World's Oceans

—Publishers Weekly

"No one understands the importance of the oceans and their impact on today's security better than Admiral Jim Stavridis. He is a leader and a sailor who stands out in every way. This is a must-read book.” —Senator John McCain

—Jennifer Ouellette, author of The Calculus Diaries and Me, Myself and Why: Searching for the Science of Self

Cro-Magnon

Cro-Magnon

You will too.”  —Philip Connors, author of Fire Season: Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout

“A terrific book that all designers—but particularly those who live in the West—should study as we re-imagine our relationship with forests and western landscapes.”
—Garden Design Onlin
