At any given time we only have a 90-day supply of food in the United States. What happens when the food runs out? This is the basis for Famine, a scientific thriller. America's corn crop is threatened by a dramatically destructive disease, turning healthy corn plants into withering stalks with ears like festering black popped corn. The nation faces food shortages and rationing as corn is the key ingredient in most of our foods. Farmers, agricultural scientists, and political leaders from Iowa, Tennessee, Washington and Chicago join forces to combat the disease, citizen's fears and corporate opportunism with dramatic actions. Famine is a convincing and riveting look at how such a "quiet" disaster could develop and how it could cripple our society.

In the spring of 1831 Abraham Lincoln, along with two relatives, built a flatboat and set off down the Mississippi River for New Orleans. He spent a month in this, the most sophisticated, opulent American city of the day, and never wrote or said a word about the things he experienced there. In this novel, John Roll, an irrepressible 17-year-old Sangamon Town lad, tells the tale of the weeks Lincoln and the others spent building the boat, their on-the-river adventures, and their discoveries in New Orleans. Come along on the journey. Ride the river and walk the streets of 1831 New Orleans. Meet the boatmen, merchants, slave owners, free persons of color, musicians, drunks, and, of course, the young Abe Lincoln. See how the impressionable, curious Lincoln comes to terms with the complexities of the day and considers his future in this rollicking adventure.
