Mightier Than the Sword

A devastating explosion aboard the MV Buckingham sets the stage for an international crisis that draws publisher Harry into a desperate mission. Newly elected president of English PEN, Harry faces pressure to campaign for the freedom of Anatoly Babakov, a fellow author imprisoned in a Siberian Gulag for writing "Uncle Joe," a revealing account of life under Josef Stalin's regime. As Harry pursues this cause, the fates of those aboard the ship and the imprisoned writer become intertwined in a gripping tale of power, literature, and human courage.
