Editor’s Picks:

NONFICTION
General self-sufficiency and survival
Rolling Bay Farm- Life on a Micro Farm Blog 2011-2012
”This year finds us moving to a much larger farm on beautiful Bainbridge Island, WA. We expand our market garden, start breeding Finn sheep and Berkshire hogs and open a fully stocked farm stand. This publishing is a mixture of recipes, snippets of small farm life and how-to's for you farm lovers!”
The Utlimate Survival Tin (Survivor Series)
The Urban Survival Tin (Survivor Series)
Preparing for the Coming Collapse of the U.S. Dollar 2nd Edition (Surviving in the New America)
“This book is less about why the Dollar will collapse than about what everyday people, like you and I, can do to prepare themselves for the collapse. If you are like me, you don't have extra money to be investing in gold coins or precious metals. You know that utilities will according to the President, "necessarily skyrocket". How will you handle an electric bill that is four times what it is now? I've read other books on Quantitative Easing, the Collapse of the Dollar and other Economic Meltdowns coming our way. I'm left with the burning question at the end of them all. "What can I do about it?" We've been trained to believe that all we can do is vote fiscally responsible every 2, 4 or 6 years. But voting isn't going to put food on the table. Half the time, the ones we vote for end up turning into the ones we voted against.”
2012 The Survival Guide
“will help you be prepared for any situation that might arise from floods to economic collapse.” From reviews, apparently translated from another language and not all that well, but has decent information, not just for the Dec 21, 2012 issue.
VB-2012 Sun Position - High accuracy solar position algorithms - a resource for programmers and solar energy engineers (VB-2012 Programming by Example)
“Knowing how to calculate the sun's position in the sky with very high accuracy is at the core of just about all solar energy research, whether for site planning, or real time aiming of the most sophisticated concentrating receivers, heliostats, and photovoltaic tracking systems. Sun Position's Visual Basic algorithms meet that core need. “
A Steelheader's Way: Principles, Tactics, and Techniques
“Steelhead legend Lani Waller covers the essential elements of fishing for trophy steelhead with prose as beautiful and surprising as the fish themselves. The blend of how-to and why-to not only captures the essence of these elusive fish but also uncovers what it takes to consistently bring them to hand. Waller shares his techniques for swinging wets and waking dry flies, including proper approach, presentation, and his favorite fly patterns, both classic and contemporary. Chapters on hunting trophies, equipment, casting, and conservation provide readers with a life's worth of wisdom learned from his time on the water.”

LOST ISLAND SMUGGLERS (The Sam Cooper Adventure Series)
Youth adventure story. Loved by kids.
Prisoners of the Williwaw
“What would happen if three hundred hardened convicts petitioned the United States Government for an abandoned island where, accompanied by their families, they would be set free to earn their own way? Overwhelmed by prison budgets and prison riots, the government agrees and sets the prisoners free on windswept, treeless Adak in the Aleutians, the site of a former 'hard duty' Navy station….”
Survivors
“A collection of short stories exploring the pivotal moment where the decision is made: do I want to be a survivor, or just a victim? Will I allow abuse or tragedy to limit me, or do I rise above it? Some choose to surrender and be victims, some choose to recover and be survivors.”
Butterflies: A World War II Short Story
“gripping short story of a young Hitler Youth, Hans Wagner, forced to fight and die for his country. The date is April 30, 1945: the German war machine has broken down, leaving Berlin vulnerable to attack. On this fateful day, the Reichstag will have its Nazi flag torn down, replaced with a Soviet flag. In the end, faced with all the odds, what will Hans choose to do?”

Lethal Circuit: Explosive Spy Action for Mystery Thriller Fans (#1)
Many high reviews. “A Chinese satellite is on a crash course with Earth. It contains enough plutonium to irradiate a large city. And that's the good news... ”
Simple Simon (An Art Jefferson Thriller)
“It took years to develop. Cost billions to perfect. A cryptographic system so advanced it safeguards the United States' most vital secrets. It is secure. Impenetrable. Until sixteen year old autistic savant Simon Lynch happens upon a forgotten snippet of code, his damaged brilliance breaking the cipher with ease and unwittingly marking him for death. Soon, elements of a pathological government security apparatus are hunting him, as is a beautiful, sadistic Japanese assassin working for enemies who will stop at nothing to learn the secret locked in Simon's mind. Only FBI Agent Art Jefferson stands between the innocent young man and these corrupt forces, putting his career, his freedom, and his life on the line to save Simon.
Simple Simon was made into the Bruce Willis film 'Mercury Rising'.“
Tag - A Technothriller (The Zumar Chronicles)
“On 15 March 2110, 6.3 billion people will die at the hand of one man. A man with a twisted vision, to make humans a better, more intelligent race… In the wake of Arbitrator Jonah Oliver’s interrogation of Jibril Muraz, a prisoner of UNPOL, his secure life disintegrates into one of lies, corruption, conspiracy and murder due to what he learns. Jonah is thrown into a race against the clock to stop a plot designed to eliminate two-thirds of the population. The odds are stacked against him. He soon finds his past is not what he thought it was, those closest to him cannot be trusted, and what he’s learned could get him, or worse, his loved ones, killed.”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
The Breeders (The Breeders Series)
Dystopia, including reproductive issues. “Sixteen-year-old Riley Meemick is one of the world's last free girls. When Riley was born, her mother escaped the Breeders, the group of doctors using cruel experiments to bolster the dwindling human race. Her parents do everything possible to keep her from their clutches-- moving from one desolate farm after another to escape the Breeders' long reach. The Breeders control everything- the local war lords, the remaining factories, the fuel. They have unchecked power in this lawless society. And they're hunting Riley.”
The Gauntlet Assassin (An Action Thriller)
Many high reviews. “Just over a decade into our future, America is a stricken country where jobs are scarce, health care is a luxury for the wealthy, and hope rides on the annual Gauntlet games--a punishing physical and mental competition where the victor brings not only pride but an economic windfall back to his or her home state.”
Damned (Empire Saga)
Appears to be in the Hunger Games vein. “It took 200 years for the United States to successfully divide itself, and when it did, 16 states seceded from the union to form their own empire. The staple of the empire’s brand of meritocracy and justice is its criminal justice system where convicts are moved for life to the reservoirs, borders and dams, where they provide free labor, energy production, and a placebo against the Empire’s fear of being re-absorbed by the US. Endless paths lead to being dammed, with only one way out earned at the annual Pardon Games. …”

The Girl from Red Lion Square
“In many ways the years of the Regency were remarkably similar to our own – huge inequalities of wealth, political unrest, economic turmoil. In other ways they were completely different – the choices available to women of ‘quality’ were few, and unattractive; social rules and etiquette were restrictive, travel and communication slow. This charming, ‘traditional’ Regency Romance, which echoes the work of Georgette Heyer at her best, explores all of these similarities and differences through the experiences of one young lady in a Regency London full of character, humour and surprise. “
All the Blue-Eyed Angels (An Erin Solomon Mystery)
Very many high reviews. “Investigative journalist Erin Solomon sets out to solve a mystery that's haunted her since childhood: a fatal fire at the Payson Church of Tomorrow, the isolated fundamentalist community where Erin lived with her father for the first ten years of her life. When what was presumed to be cult suicide turns out to be anything but, Erin returns to her hometown to find the truth behind the tragedy. Now, isolated on the Maine coast with an old flame and a handsome newcomer with his own dark past, Erin will risk everything to uncover the secrets of Payson Isle - secrets someone will kill to keep buried.”
