Book excerpt: In the near future, the debt-laden U.S. owns a technology that renders it "the world's best-defended Third World country." The only real outer-space planning is in Common Europe, so young American "space cadet" Jerry Reed goes to work in Paris. He falls in love with and marries Soviet career bureaucrat Sonya Gagarin and the story jumps ahead 20 years, blending world events with a focus on their family. Sonya's star has risen with the Euro-Russians' while Jerry has been stymied by pervasive anti-Americanism. Daughter Franja has her father's space fever and enrolls in a Russian space school; son Bob, fiercely curious about an earlier, admired America before it was run by xenophobic "Gringos," enters Berkeley. Ten years later the U.S. is a pariah, Euro-Russia the pet of the civilized world and the Reeds scattered - politics forced Jerry and Sonya's divorce, Franja speaks only to her mother and Bob is trapped in "Festung Amerika." A series of odd, occasionally tragic events brings the family (and the world) together. Despite some tech-talk this is not science fiction: the first two-thirds of this hefty book is chillingly logical, if sometimes very funny, and while the "happy" ending may seem forced, Spinrad ( Bug Jack Barron ) gives us a wild, exhilarating ride into the next century.

Book excerpt: BECHA PYCCKAR - RUSSIAN SPRING is a gripping, unconventional, historical novel. It is told from a Russian point of view that depicts the struggles of every day Russian life in 2014. With a dose of Russian history and politics to add, BECHA PYCCKAR is also controversial. The main character is Natalya Kalinina, a KGB agent who becomes involved in the clandestine "Russian for a New Revolution" (RNR movement aimed at liberating Russia from colonial rule. At the same time, as the RNR movement pursue its objectives of ending the West's hold on Russia which includes intervening in Hawaii to rescue that State Governor's daughter from the U.S. Military, Natalya finds herself falling in love with an American Moscow-based CIA agent. With Russia experiencing one of the worst winters in decades with little food and fuel and many Russians dying, the country faces the specter of civil war when the Governor of Russia's karelian Republic and the Commander of Russian troops based there stage a take over of Western-run facilities. Suddenly global events take a life of their own. The world approaches the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Decisions must be made by Natalya Kalinina and her American boyfriend. They must decide where loyalties lie as their countries become further estranged with Washington plotting a Kremlin coup. Will they compromise their principles to accommodate their romance or have their relationship torn apart? And ultimately will Russia and the world survive?

Book excerpt: Shows that the Russian Civil War was not a struggle between a Communist future and a Tsarist past but rather was a bloody fight among diverse factions in a postrevolutionary state. Focusing on the sparsely populated Arkhangelsk region in northern Russia, Novikova shows that the anti-Bolshevik government there, which held out from 1918 to early 1920, was a revolutionary alternative bolstered by broad popular support.
