Buried Deep: A Retrieval Artist Novel - Retrieval Artist, #4

The Catholic Church saved him. At the moment he needed someone most, Father Joe offered him salvation. And he spent his life, and career, trying to live by the rules and order of the Catholicism. But when he returns to Brooklyn to work for the Church after years as a Chicago detective, he finds himself investigating those he thought beyond reproach. And the deeper he digs, the more questions he finds-about his past, about himself, and about the future of the very faith he once considered his salvation. This alternate history story, originally written for the Vatican Vaults anthology, takes place in a world where Pope John Paul (I) does not die a month after his accession in 1978 but instead reforms the Church and opens up the most secret parts of the Vatican Library to scholars. New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch explores what might have happened if some Church secrets came to light years earlier than they have in our own reality."Rusch weaves a convincing alternate history tale of 'what ifs' that interlaces with our own history of those troubled times."-Astro Guyz on The Enemy Within

Anniversary Day: Book One of the Anniversary Day Saga - Retrieval Artist, #10

Legend has it that Abraham Lincoln scrawled the Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope as he traveled to the battlefield to dedicate a cemetery. But the legend belies Lincoln's struggle to carefully choose the right words. Words that must soothe a fractured nation, inspire change and chart the course for the nation's future. Because his speech in Gettysburg will change history, but not necessarily in the way he hopes. Written by a Sidewise Award winner for Best Alternate History, "Well-Chosen Words" first appeared in an anthology called Alternate Gettysburgs. "Kristine Kathryn Rusch looks at the anxiety Lincoln had in selecting the 'Well-Chosen Words' he would speak at the dedication of the cemetery at Gettysburg, while his host, David Wills, fretted about the success of the event itself. The story is well written, with both characters coming to life."-Steven H. Silver, SF Site
