Colorado, January 1977. Eighty-year-old Edith Goodnough lies in a hospital bed, IV taped to the back of her hand, police officer at her door. She is charged with murder. The clues: a sack of chicken feed slit with a knife, a milky-eyed dog tied outdoors one cold afternoon. The motives: the brutal business of farming and a family code of ethics as unforgiving as the winter prairie itself. In his critically acclaimed first novel, Kent Haruf delivers the sweeping tale of a woman of the American High Plains, as told by her neighbor, Sanders Roscoe. As Roscoe shares what he knows, Edith's tragedies unfold: a childhood of pre-dawn chores, a mother's death, a violence that leaves a father dependent on his children, forever enraged. Here is the story of a woman who sacrifices her happiness in the name of family--and then, in one gesture, reclaims her freedom. Breathtaking, determinedly truthful, The Tie That Binds is a powerfully eloquent tribute to the arduous demands of rural America, and of the tenacity of the human spirit.

A broad river swept smoothly along under the hot orange sun of the planet Klydor. The land on either side lay silent and uninhabited. Then around a bend in the river came a crude raft, carrying five young people from Earth. All five had been exiled to Klydor by ColSec, a section of the harshly authoritarian Organization, which had ruled Earth since the “Virus Decades.” They were to found a colony or perish. And perish they nearly had. Their spaceship had crash-landed, but these five survived. Now, with limited supplies and only the weapons they had made, they were exploring, searching for a place to build a colony—not for ColSec but for themselves.One piece of equipment that had stayed relatively intact was Guide, a data-storage computer that had come to be almost a sixth member of the group. And Guide gave them a piece of frightening news: it had picked up a signal from this new region of Klydor—a signal that could come only from an Earth spacecraft. It had to mean that ColSec agents were on Klydor.But who it really is in that spacecraft, and why they are there, turns out to be even more startling and frightening. The young people find themselves embroiled in a new battle for survival, which also has at stake the continuation of a rebel uprising against the Organization. In this action-packed sequel to Exiles of ColSec, Douglas Hill once again proves himself a master of spine-tingling, fast-paced science fiction.
