February 12th is the birthday of former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Considered by many to be the best President in the country’s history, there is no shortage of books written about the man. From non-fiction like Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin and the expansive Lincoln by David Herbert Donald, to historical fiction like The House of Lincoln by Nancy Horan, and all the way to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith, the former President is very well represented on this website.
Underdogs by Stephen Leather
Andy “Deadman” Bird was once an elite SAS operative, but a disastrous mission cost him his hearing, his career, his home, and his family. Now surviving on the brutal streets of London, his only constant is Tyson, his fiercely loyal combat dog. When Andy and Tyson stumble across a vicious alleyway murder, they are thrust into danger once again, becoming targets of ruthless killers determined to silence anyone who knows too much.
With enemies closing in, Andy turns to the former teammates who once trusted him with their lives. Together, they uncover a deadly tangle of organized crime and political corruption that reaches far beyond a single killing. Outnumbered and underestimated, Andy proves he is far from finished. In Underdogs by Stephen Leather, survival depends on loyalty, grit, and the refusal to stay down, even when the world has already taken everything else.

From the Sidelines by Rachel LaBerge is a heartfelt sports romance about ambition, friendship, and finally risking everything for the love that has always been waiting.
