Jeff Shaara - No Less Than Victory
Start: 7:30 pm
Highlands Ranch: Historian and master storyteller Jeff Shaara will read from and sign his new book No Less Than Victory: A Novel of World War II ($28.00 Ballantine), the crowning achievement in his soaring World War II trilogy, which reveals the European war’s unforgettable and harrowing final act. Presenting his riveting account through the eyes of Eisenhower and Patton and the young GIs who struggle face-to-face with their enemy, and through the eyes of Germany’s old soldier, Gerd von Rundstedt, and Hitler’s golden boy, Albert Speer, Shaara carries the reader on a journey that defines the spirit of the soldier and the horror of a madman’s dreams.

Andrea Israel & Nancy Garfinkel - The Recipe Club
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Emmy Award-winning television producer and writer Andrea Israel, and award-winning graphic designer and food and wine writer Nancy Garfinkel, will read from and sign their first novel The Recipe Club: A Tale of Food & Friendship ($24.95 Polhemus Press). Lilly and Val are lifelong friends, who, in childhood, vow to form an exclusive two-person club. As they grow into adulthood they write intimate letters in which they share hopes, fears, deepest secrets, and recipes—from Lilly’s “Lovelorn Lasagna” to Valerie’s “Forgiveness Tapenade”—until the fateful day when an act of kindness becomes an unforgivable betrayal. Now, decades later, while trying to recapture the trust they’ve lost, Lilly and Val reunite once more—only to uncover a shocking secret. Will it destroy their friendship, or bring them ever closer?
