Annie Garrow, a full-blooded Mohawk, was walking down a road she had walked down many times. With her were twenty-four dyed ash splint baskets. She was heading to Hogansburg, a small village in New York. She was still on the reservation, she had relatives that lived all around this part of Akwesasne, but she had crossed an invisible line. An act that would lead to the Supreme Court of the United States of America and change the perceptions of Mohawks had about government jurisdictions and their land.

Could the South have won the Civil War? This question has been asked and answered affirmatively dozens of times. But how likely was it, in reality? Now Andrew J. Heller (Gray Tide in the East) explores this fascinating subject using the tool of counterfactual analysis, instead of uninformed opinion, to look for an answer in Decision at Antietam. As always, Heller rests his arguments on solid research of the historical records and the works of reputable historians, both scholarly and popular, to which he adds his own imaginative, yet authentic, eyewitness accounts.

UMPA Eleven, Rise of the Machines is the story of a robot who is an exact duplicate of a man. Doctor Cynthia Malone convinces the design teams at her company to produce a new kind of robot called a Utility Mechanoid Programable Anthromorph, or UMPA for short.

“A fascinating and lesser-known part of Mafia and WWII history, this
brilliantly-researched novel is quite an eye-opener!”

"Dock workers shout and swear coarsely. You can almost smell the
creosote and tobacco smoke as they do while the impression of a New
York metropolis coming into its own is particularly potent. As a
narrator he never has us at a loss as to our location, and using
something of a film maker's palate, he lets the streets and docksides
of New York become a central character in their own right."
- Hilary A. White,
The Sunday Independent,
“Like a sunken treasure ship this intriguing wartime
story has now been well and truly excavated.”
- Irish Daily Mail, London
“I was a bit wary as I began reading, thinking the use of colloquial
speech and vocabulary would make the book hard going. However I was
wrong; instead it gives the book a distinctive flavour, alongside the
descriptions of a bustling New York."

“I felt compelled to write and tell you that once into the last
fifty pages, on my way home one evening last week, I missed my train
stop by two stations reading the chase scene at the end."
Christina Rossi, Philadelphia, PA
Just a quick "Thank you" for Operation Underworld. Being a
girl, I'm usually not a fan of crime-related stuff, but I got this one
off my boyfriend's shelf to read something during a trip - and boy,
did the trip seem short!"
- Irene, Rome, Italy
"I have been a history enthusiast for many years, and was frankly
bowled over by the historical accuracy of the novel, as well as the
effectiveness of the device used to carry the story. Historical
fiction so often tends to be either too dry to capture one's interest
for long, or superficial fun to read, but at the expense of historical
accuracy. With Operation Underworld, Mr. Kelly seems to have found the
happy medium that balances both.
Now of course, we are all anxiously awaiting his next historical
novel."

“I am greatly enjoying Operation Underworld. The visual and
auditory image of the two guys in the hold of the ship striking the
water valve in unison to the choral strains of the Anvil Chorus made
me burst out laughing! That is such a great visual, in such a weird
context!
