Uncivil Liberties by Calvin Trillin

What if you were framed for murder and everyone was hunting you?


Kossrak created an omniscient machine for the Thymord Order. In return, they double-crossed him, seeking to eliminate him. He must survive the Day of Cleansing while being hunted by a vindictive assassin and a powerful sorcerer.


Vixen searches for Lorrek, desperate to find him before the Thymord Order does. She needs Kossrak's machine to do so.


Lorrek wishes Kossrak to erase him from the system so the Thymord Order cannot track him.


Who will find who first? Can Kossrak survive either encounter?


Find Me If You Can is the seventh book in a riveting science fiction and fantasy series filled with near-misses, steampunk worlds, and cranky assassins.

CALVIN TRILLIN

Calvin Trillin has been acclaimed in fields of writing that are remarkably diverse. A staff writer for The New Yorker for forty years, Trillin has been called perhaps the finest reporter in America. His antic commentary on the American scene and his books chronicling his adventures as a happy eater have earned him renown as a classic American humorist.

Trillin was born and raised in Kansas City, MO. He graduated from Yale in 1957, served in the army and then joined Time magazine. After a year covering the South from the Atlanta bureau, he became a writer for Time in New York.

In 1963, he became a staff writer for The New Yorker. From 1978 to 1985, Trillin was a columnist for The Nation, writing what USA Today called simply the funniest regular column in journalism. From 1986 through 1995, the column was syndicated to newspapers. His columns have been collected in five books: Uncivil Liberties; With All Disrespect, If You Can't Say Something Nice (1987), Enough's Enough, and Too Soon to Tell. From 1996 to 2001, Trillin did a column for Time.

Since 1990, Trillin has written a piece of comic verse weekly for The Nation. In 1994, he published Deadline Poet, his account of being a commentator-in-rhyme on the news of the day.

Trillin's books have included three comic novels, a collection of short stories, a travel book and an account of the desegregation of the University of Georgia. His three antic books on eating -- American Fried, Alice Let's Eat and Third Helpings -- were compiled in 1994 into a single volume called The Tummy Trilogy. His memoirs include Remembering Denny and Messages from My Father, both New York Times bestsellers.

Trillin lives in New York City.
