About the author
Joseph Wallace
58 books60 followersI am thrilled to announce that SLAVEMAKERS, the follow-up to my novel INVASIVE SPECIES, will be published by Ace Books on December 1!
Set twenty years after the apocalyptic events of
INVASIVE SPECIES ("You might want to read this one under the bed"--Jack McDevitt), SLAVEMAKERS was a blast to write. I loved being able to use some of the fascinating--not to mention creepy--facts I've learned during my previous career as a writer specializing in science, natural history, and the environment. It's a strange, spooky world out there....
Along with another novel--the historical DIAMOND RUBY--I've contributed mystery/thriller short stories to collections ranging from BRONX NOIR to ICE COLD (edited by Jeffrey Deaver); I was honored when my story "Custom Sets" was selected by Lee Child for inclusion in a BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES anthology.
I hope you'll enjoy!

Excellent pictures, good collection of documents spanning the sport, and it features Roger Angell (always worth a good two stars). Entertaining because it was published in 1994, which means that half the guys mentioned as "the next big thing"/"poised for greatness"... weren't.
Oddly, seems to favor Ted Williams over Joe Dimaggio in the part that covers their careers, but Dimaggio over Williams everywhere else. Also seems to favor the Yankees over the Red Sox (I swear it's not the Sox fan complex talking), though talking about Yaz and Fisk more than any Yankees player of the same period - but the writer's a Mets fan, according to his blurb. Crazy baseball fans.
