“Jute has clearly conducted a great deal of research into everything he describes, investing the novel with an air of prophecy. His moral and ecological concerns are important.”
Times Literary Supplement

Andre Jute's Iditarod is the finest piece of fiction that I have read about The Greatest Race on Earth. Packed with adventure at every turn, nail-biting suspense, touches of endearing humor and the fine, subtle thread of romance, this tale speaks to what readers crave.

THE SURVIVOR by Andre Jute

 

...recalls Russian literature at its finest. VANGUARD ELITE was a real pleasure to read, the writing is rock solid and flawless – every word is the right word, in the right place. The next volume is written and awaiting publication. Bring it on.
abrwrite/LibraryThing

The exploration of the mindset of the Revolution is fascinating.The complex nature and motivations of the revolutionaries and the sorry state of Russia at the time are explored in a way that makes the suffering palpable in an engaging way without pretending that the people who want to be in charge are necessarily as noble or capable as some of them would like to believe. The author does a good job of presenting the Revolution itself as a another character, and through its atmosphere and details begins to offer a commentary and explanation for what history will further bring.
J. A. Beard/Good Book Alert

It reads like a literary classic and as a screenplay for a historical documentary miniseries. The language is lush, vibrant even when describing the horrors associated with the Bolshevik Revolution. The imagery through words painted by author Andre Jute makes me feel that I am moving through an art gallery where I wish to study every aspect, explore every color, more than once. I cannot remember when I have read a book of this caliber in recent years.
Doug Glassford/Amazon

"I am reading this now. So well-written, with the combination of graceful, elegant prose and tough subject matter that makes Andre one of the best around."

BROTHERS & ENEMIES
PRIVATE INTIMATIONS
TROPIC OF TREASON

BROTHERS & ENEMIES
Stalin was paranoid. He had good reason to be. He planned a new Terror. Somebody plotted to kill him before he could start the new cycle of arrests and executions. But it wasn't the Jewish doctors Stalin killed for it. The plotters were people Stalin overlooked as totally loyal, true patriots.
PRIVATE INTIMATIONS
In immediately postwar Italy, among the reprisals and communist wrecking, Joshua Adams and Hillel Hirsch play off the Mafia and the Camorra on the international black market to raise the funds to buy an entire nation, plus the loyalty of the yet-to-be Israeli they aid and abet against the British, who want only to send Jewish refugee ships bound for Tel Aviv to the bottom of the Mediterranean. In Ankara, meanwhile, their friend Kim Philby is hours from being exposed.
TROPIC OF TREASON
William Harvey McQueen is the FBI's point man against Stalin's killer goons and atomic spies. Years before he would be introduced to President Kennedy as "the American James Bond", he exposes spies with offices in the White House itself. Tropic of Treason tells how— and above all why — David Adams recruits Harvey McQueen to the CIA, where he exposes Burgess, McLean and Philby as Russian spies.

Cold War, Hot Passions series by Andre Jute

Cold War, Hot Passions
by André Jute

The epic saga
of ten intertwined families
who live and die by their love of
their Russian and American motherlands
and the searing passions they
arouse in each other

FROM THE STORMING OF THE WINTER PALACE...

In the beginning they were impassioned young revolutionaries risking only own their lives for justice. The prince, the soldier, the peasant and the baroness became the founders of three families, steadfast in love and war, whose generations are enfolded in the sweep of humans and inhumans, inquisitors and victims, the betrayals of friends and family, the show trials of colleagues, the psychiatric tortures of dissidents, that was Russia under the Communists, right up to glasnost, when the fourth generation must answer the question, Was the result worth three generations of tragic suffering and sacrifice?

And the Americans who opposed them for liberty, the patrician Adams family, the refugee Hirches, the redneck Remptons who became political powers in the land, the McQueens who did not count the price of rising from smalltown mid-America to the highest levels of the nation, the Drexlers who had always served their country, the implacable Southern Hubbells who could — and did — threaten Presidents, and the clever Talbots whose shy Joanne married the handsome Russian who was the cleverest traitor of them all.

In his first novel for two decades, a storyteller who has always had a knack with the true history of men and women will touch your heart and thrill your mind with the risks these men and women took with their lives and their families for the ideals they were born to — which some betrayed, and some paid too high a price for in love, even with their lives.
