Commenter<\/a> and friend Mary T. likes to read of the sea when near the sea, but that means very different things to different bookstore visitors: seafarers, cottage renters, overnighters, or summer people, like me. The folllowing are some newly published possibles.

\nLeClair, Jenifer. Rigged For Murder (Windjammer Mysteries)<\/a><\/em>. Durban House Press, 2007. <\/strong> Paperback already!<\/p>\n

Set in Maine on a windjammer and featuring a Minneapolis Police detective on leave, this mystery with romance got a \u201cdandy\u201d in the St. Paul (MN) Pioneer Press<\/em> (2\/17\/2008). With likely ties to Tenants Harbor, as windjammers sail from nearby Rockland harbor and sometimes stop in Tenants Harbor, this is a Roseledge Books MUST, but for whom? Suggestion from Kathy, my best spotter of the remote.<\/p>\n

Pope, Frank. Dragon Sea: A True Tale of Treasure, Archeology, and Greed off the Coast of Vietnam<\/a><\/em>. NY:Harcourt, Inc.\/Harvest, 2007.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adventure on the high seas, a plus. Vietnam might interest the getting-older sailors, even if –or maybe because — the wrecked ship has a boat load of fifteenth century ceramics. In the NYTimes Book Review\u2019s \u201cPaperback Row<\/em>\u201d of new and noteworthy. Probably for seafarers, maybe veterans, and for sure, me.<\/p>\n

Gibbins, David. Crusader Gold<\/a>.<\/em> Bantam Books, 2007.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cUnderwater adventure\u201d and \u201cunearthed medieval map\u201d (or their equivalent) were the lure words in the NYTimes Book Review \u201cPaperback Best Sellers: Mass-Market Fiction,<\/em>\u201d and the book, so far, is a good gamble. I\u2019m only on Chapter 3, but the book starts with a great map that includes the Mediterranean and all the North Atlantic Ocean a story needs to include noted stops in England, Greenland, and, yes, the Viking remains in Labrador. Chapter 1 has a quick historical overview of Istanbul, in Chapter 2, the Vinland Map, a long time, if sometimes peripheral interest, is evoked, and Constantine is linked to the Vikings. If I\u2019m really lucky the Irish monks might show up, too. I love this, and those who liked Clive Cussler\u2019s Treasure<\/em> might, too.<\/p>\n

And not to forget:
\nO\u2019Hanlon, Redmond. Trawler: A Journey Through the North Atlantic<\/a><\/em>. Vintage, 2006. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Author O\u2019Hanlon\u2019s travels are always amazing. This time he takes to the sea. North Atlantic alert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
