Now available in trade paperback, "Twilight of Heroes" is a tale of international suspense set amid the recent drug wars in Latin America. The novel follows an American colonel plagued by his conscience, a female doctor fighting deadly odds, a dangerously arrogant American ambassador, a Bolivian playboy who falls in love with the woman he planned to betray, and a teenage assassin from the slums of Colombia. Ranging from the lawless South American backcountry to the halls of Washington, D.C., this is the finest novel--or work of any kind--written about the men and women whose fates are tied to politics, cocaine, and the gun.

A huge volume of edge-of-the-seat science fiction adventure, including: * The Long Twilight: Grayle and Falconer met in relentless combat with no quarter in prehistoric ages past, their endless battle now remembered only as dark myths and legends. Now their long battle is nearing its climax—and the final battleground is an uncontrolled experimental power plant that threatens the Earth itself! * Night of Delusions: A detective is hired by men claiming to be government agents and given an assignment that may lead to his being hailed as the savior of the nation—or executed for treason. His mysterious clients also give him devices to use in the assignment, devices which seem to be far beyond anything of which human technology is capable. And as he doggedly pursues the case, he finds that the very fabric of reality seems to be changing around him, even to the point that he himself seems never to have existed! * Plus three short novels of equally stunning concepts and breathtaking action.

As a child, Val FitzPatrick often saw the displaced Utes ride by in the twilight, returning to their forbidden homelands for the traditional autumn hunt. Val’s family was one of the first to homestead Ute lands, and his account of the Northern Ute removal is told from the unique perspective of one who knew and respected these displaced people. “Red Twilight” also recalls the experiences of Val’s fellow pioneers in northwest Colorado in the late 1800s. Included is a rare oral history by one of the Ute warriors in the Battle of Milk Creek, as well as excerpts from the long-forgotten diary of Wils Rankin, early cowboy and nephew of Joe Rankin, scout of the ill-fated Major Thornburgh.

Wisdom Literature is that divine revelation which occurs neither in a straightforward divine/human confrontation where God appears and just spells it out, nor in a human conjuring of knowledge, experience, or reasoning. Rather, the revelation of God found in Wisdom Literature occurs in ways that make the revelation trickier, in dreams, visions, but also narratives and the like which are a kind of murky, gray area similar to the light of early sunrise or late after sunset when things are not entirely clear-the "twilight zone." T. A. Perry, author of The Honeymoon is Over, has once again brought both the creative impulse and a critical mind to the study of some of the most enigmatic passages of the Hebrew Bible. What is the source of Wisdom? What, in fact, is the Biblical understanding of Wisdom? And how is wisdom revealed and understood? Wisdom is not limited to the so-called Wisdom Literature of the Bible. It is found throughout, but too often in poorly understood passages that seem out-of-place within the wider context in which they are found. Perry provides fresh insight into stories often avoided for their difficulty. Insightful, incisive, ingenious writing characterizes Perry's work. What can the serious student of the Bible learn from the story of Judah and Tamar, from the riddle proposed by Samson, and from the words of Qohelet (Ecclesiastes) reflecting on the advancing years of life? One learns that God's Wisdom is profound and can be visible in the sometimes murky light of the twilight zone at the start and end of a day. This book will appeal to a broad audience, including pastors and rabbis who want penetrating insights into some of the more difficult passages of the Hebrew Bible; informed lay persons, both Christian and Jewish; and scholars in the field of biblical interpretation and particularly those interested in the Wisdom literature of the Hebrew Bible.
