THE ONLY THING TO FEAR

John Fitzgerald "Shafty" Kennedy has another mission. His boss, Admiral
Leahy, thinks enemy code traffic points to an assassin in FDR's personal
circle. Who wants to kill Franklin D. Roosevelt? Why? And how? JFK and glamorous
Hollywood star Lauren Wolfe are the "detectives" as the clock ticks down
to April 12, 1945, in Warm Springs. ISBN 0- 812-54815-9. Currently

THE RETURN OF PHILO T. McGIFFINIn this comic and irreverent novel, an underground classic for years among Annapolis grads, Poyer recreates the hothouse world of the Naval Academy. From the day he reported in for Plebe Summer, everyone agrees: Philo T. McGiffin was a wimp. The original Philo McGiffin, Class of 1882, was a mythic master of outrageous escapades who became a symbol of subversive individualism to generations of mids. His namesake nearly buckles under the emotional, physical, and mental stresses that are the lot of every plebe. Yet gradually "The Mouse" learns to triumph in the grand style of his predecessor. Republished in trade paperback by the U.S. Naval Institute Press, ISBN 155-750689-2. Download first chapter.
Sorry, I don't have any of the original hardcover St. Martin's edition left. Wish I did! The Naval Institute trade paperback edition has also sold out. But you can order it from my First Edition page -- as long as I have a few copies left. Don't delay, there aren't many in the attic.
