The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
In the early days of Puritan Boston Hester Prynne braves the stigma of adultery by wearing the
embroidered scarlet "A" on her clothing.
A somber and compelling tale of love, pride, and moral struggle, The Scarlet Letter is considered
Nathaniel Hawthorne's masterwork. A story of passion and atonement in Puritan New England,
Hawthorne's story grows out of a radical ambivalence to America's spiritual, intellectual, and
imaginative heritage.

HAMMER'S SLAMMERS
Lt. Arne Huber was old enough to be a veteran but still young enough to have principles. He commanded a platoon of combat cars, leading from the front because he was a Slammers officer and that's the only place you can lead.
From Huber's first minutes on Plattner's World, he was in the middle of hot, flaming war. He knew that wasn't going to change until the Slammers either left the planet or his relatives back on Friesland got a coffin with a warning to bury it unopened.
