SNOWFLAKES ON THE DON: This action-driven historical novel carries its two main characters from the Battles of Britain, Stalingrad, and the Drava, where the "invincible" Stalin Division was smashed by anti-communist Cossacks... to America and the Cold War. Test pilot for the "Thrillcat" fighter, Jan Komaiko and his friend, Tom Trenton, along with their families join the Freedom Brigade to save the "American Way." Visit Long Island, West Virginia, Pennsylania, California... there's football, canoeing in an upstate NY lake, Romance... and a fighter plane crash in upstate Walesville, NY. Another thrill: this authentic, descriptive story includes one of the most daring rescues imaginable. FEATURE!!-- Front cover is famous Jan Chelminski Cavalry painting of mounted Cavalry officers...owned by Dr. Ray and Maureen Haag, Bay Shore NY Chamber of Commerce "Citizen of 2007" --- $22.95 + $5 priority s&h&track.

EYES THAT HAUNT: The exciting, on-the-edge opening in the cold north proved to me to be written for those who love hunting, fishing, adventure and danger. The faithfulness of a white wolf saved from the grip of death returns the favor to this man of men on the cliff in an avalanche. What story line could be more thrilling? Trapper -- with his Yukon family of wolves living in Home Free Valley -- falls into a fatherly role as his long-missed daughter Tandi forgoes a love affair to make a daring incredible journey to find him. The author has a lovely ability of placing the reader on location. I understood the characters, even the wolves. [But Mrs. Cowper takes issue with one perhaps wild chapter in the book (Ch. 7). She is probably right; but I'd like to see any other reader's views... eln] ...Quality p'bk, 140 p., $17.95 plus $5. Priority s/h/tracking.
