John Paul Jones, at sea and in the heat of battle, was the great American hero of the Age of Sail. He was to history what Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey and C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower are to fiction. Ruthless, indomitable, clever; he vowed to sail, as he put it, "in harm's way." John Paul Jones is more than a great sea story. Jones is a character for the ages. John Adams called him the "most ambitious and intriguing officer in the American Navy." The renewed interest in the Founding Fathers reminds us of the great men who made this country, but John Paul Jones teaches us that it took fighters as well as thinkers, men driven by dreams of personal glory as well as high-minded principle to break free of the past and start a new world. Jones's spirit was classically American. Evan Thomas brings his skills as a biographer to this complex, protean figure whose life and rise are both thrilling as a tale of dauntless courage and revealing about the birth of a nation."Superlative... Both Jones and his latest biographer can justly be praised as masters of their respective crafts" ~ Publishers Weekly"Evan Thomas captures all the incongruities, vanities, blazing ambition, and phenomenal courage of his subject" ~ David McCullough, author of John Adams

A husband and wife, mourning the loss of their child… A revered genius, murdered inside his own creation… A centuries-old invention, with the key to ultimate enlightenment. Step onto the grounds of a secluded estate… and fall into the extraordinary. After the death of his son in a car wreck two years ago, Alex Fitzgerald is overcome by a condition known as synesthesia. His thoughts transform into abstract paintings; layered, textured, and visual. Life, tenuous and fleeting life, becomes earthy and sweet like cinnamon. The condition subsides but is replaced by something even more abstract. Kate, his dear wife, having also just lost her mother, must cope with the two devastating deaths while trying to stay in love with a gifted, yet troubled husband. So when the couple receives an invitation to stay at a secluded estate near Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior, it’s a marriage-saving offer they can’t refuse. But from the moment they arrive, the romantic tranquility of the grounds is an illusion. A bizarre man running through the woods tells Alex, "The Reflectory is not finished, it’s never finished, it needs someone," while warning him about a "Tin Man." AT ITS OPENING ARE THE REVELATIONS YOU HAVE SOUGHT An antique boat with a most unusual design hangs on chains in the boathouse at the ready; a conspicuous door that seemingly opens to a stone wall is locked tight. AT ITS CORE, ENLIGHTENMENT Enigmatic notes in Latin and a guestbook entry left by the murdered owner hint of a secret creation made by Isaac Newton. AT ITS END, DELIVERANCE Part romantic suspense, part thriller, The Reflectory is about the texture of ideas, the contour of thoughts, the color of emotion. It’s about finding the one thing missing in life … without knowing you were looking for it. ”The Reflectory opens the door to a refreshingly new way of looking at the human intellect.” —Dennis Herschbach, author of Convergence at Two Harbors. Geared toward readers interested in any of the following keywords: romantic suspense, lighthouses, shipwrecks, big storms, strong female characters, secluded estates, secret messages, supernatural suspense, hidden entrances, antique boats, cliffs, Isaac Newton, synesthesia, psychological thriller, architecture, and the meaning of life.
