The Partisan Divide: Congress in CrisisBy Tom Davis, Martin Frost & Richard E. CohenPreface by David Eisenhower

According to the authors — former chairs of the Democratic and Republican House campaign committees — Congress is incapable of reforming itself without a good kick in the seat from the American public.

“Martin Frost and Tom Davis are uniquely qualified to examine how constant conflict in Washington keeps too many good things from happening. The Partisan Divide: Congress in Crisis is a smart book that asks the right questions and offers some intriguing solutions.” — President Bill Clinton

“Put plainly, this is the most significant political book I have read in a decade or longer. Our system of self-government is manifestly in crisis and the stakes could not be higher. For over a decade, the public has awaited explanations and recommen-dations, which are provided by the book.”

— David Eisenhower, Pulitzer Prize finalist, public policy fellow, professor at the University of Pennsylvania

“This book by two veteran politicians — one a Democrat and one a Republican — shows just how broken our political system is and how difficult it is going to be to get it back on track.” — Bob Schieffer, moderator of Face the Nation and

Chief Washington correspondent at CBS News

“As bipartisan progress becomes ever scarcer in Washington, Frost and Davis have come together to present thought-provoking ideas and insights from four decades of collective experience in Congress. In their powerful insiders’ account of the road into political gridlock, readers will find both the full extent of the problem and new possibilities for a way out.”

— Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Democratic leader and 60th Speaker of the House (D-CA)

“Republican Tom Davis and Democrat Martin Frost have teamed up to explain in lay terms the macro-trends that have contributed to the polarized political environment in the U.S. today. Drawing on their experience as Congressional lead-ers and campaign chairs for their respective parties, this is a must-read for the politically curious.” — Rep. Darrell Issa,

Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (R-CA)

“Tom Davis and Martin Frost are two true Washington insiders who care more about the institution of Congress than their respective parties. Here’s hoping that every CURRENT member of Congress reads this book and uses it as a blueprint of how to get the institution to work again on behalf of the American public.”

— Chuck Todd, moderator of Meet the Press and political director at NBC News

"Tom Davis, Martin Frost along with Rich E. Cohen have written a book that desper-ately needed to be written and arguably no other three people are better qualified to write it. Not a textbook or a ‘tell-all’ book, but really a first-hand, behind the scenes account and explanation of what has gone terribly wrong in Washington and politics, and why.” — Charlie Cook, editor and publisher of

The Cook Political Report, columnist for National Journal

“Martin Frost and Tom Davis have offered their readers an insight into our nation’s current crisis in the 21st century — our system of governance. Their thoughtful anal-ysis and recommendations will provide the American people with solutions in restor-ing faith and confidence in today’s political climate.”

— Dick Gephardt, former House minority leader (D-MO)

Incarnateby James Kahn

Two men find themselves caught up in a complex web of reincarnation and murder. While Vic learns that his fiancée is being stalked, Guy’s dreams of a 19th-century murder suggest scenes from his own previous life, in which he was the killer. The parallel stories trace Guy’s search of an old Irish manor for clues to his former existence and Vic’s attempts to rescue his fiancée. The connection of these twisted tales leads to a shocking surprise that can prevent a series of murders if Vic and Guy manage to unravel the dreams’ true meaning and the reincarnation labyrinth that binds them together.
