- You get a brisk, old-school frontier adventure through Shann Lantee’s eyes, with Warlock’s dangerous landscape and uneasy human dealings with its native people doing much of the work. The characters are sparely drawn, but the survival tension and strange planetary atmosphere stay with you.
- The Conscience of a Conservative non-fictionYou get a clear, combative window into mid-century American conservatism, with Goldwater arguing for limited government, states’ rights, and individual responsibility. Read it as political history more than settled wisdom, especially because its civil-rights chapter exposes the movement’s serious moral blind spots.
