The wages and spoils of war are the focus in this week’s Newsmax Rising Bestsellers, along with two other issues vexing the homeland. Describing how former warriors can recover from the trauma of the battlefield, and how the U.S. Navy acquired the most valuable prize of World War II are subjects tackled in two non-fiction selections. Then, there is a discussion of government’s dilemma in preventing serious harm to its citizens while protecting our basic rights, and also an in-depth look at the country’s failing foster care system. And, for fiction, there are the latest doings of old familiar friend.
“Return to Sender: A Longmire Mystery,” by Craig Johnson (Viking)
This No. 1 bestseller and the 21st volume of Craig Johnson’s popular Walt Longmire series of mysteries opens with a missing person case of a female letter-carrier. Her route stretches 300 miles every day, so the initial question becomes where to look for her? Longworth follows her route posing as a replacement letter-carrier “and finds himself enveloped in the intrigue of an otherworldly cult,“ according to the publisher. This one is filled with the twists and turns that fans of this New York Times bestselling series have come to expect. “Great yarn,” wrote Al in his review for GoodReads. “Craig Johnson’s trademark keenly honed characterization and clearly articulated sense of place. Superb plot. Bunches of surprises. Great dialog(ue). All of the ‘usual suspects’ plus many more. Now I just hope Mr. Johnson finishes the next one very soon!” [Fiction]“From Trauma To Joy: Life changing lessons that fellow US Marines taught me after traumatic events occurred in my life… Lessons that apply to ANYONE,” by Michael F. McNamara (Post-Traumatic Winning Company, LLC)
