Preston Fleming writes realist thrillers set in exceptional times and places, from Siberia during the Russian Civil War (MAID OF BAIKAL), to explosive 1980s Beirut (DYNAMITE FISHERMEN), to a near-future gulag-style labor camp in Utah (FORTY DAYS AT KAMAS). His experience as a diplomat, lawyer and corporate executive, combined with his ultra-lean writing style, lend rare authenticity to his stories. All of Preston’s six novels have received praise from KIRKUS REVIEWS and other publications.

Quotes by Preston Fleming (?)

“Every end justifies the means? —No! The end justifies all the means? —No! Every end justifies all the means? —No, never!” —Menachem Begin, Prime Minister of Israel”

“Each man’s destiny is different, Paul,” Gallucci continued. “Sometimes it calls for action, sometimes a change in attitude, and sometimes simply suffering and acceptance. When it’s suffering, you have to remember that your own pain is totally unique in the universe. Nobody can relieve you of it or suffer it in your place. It’s the way you bear it that gives your life its special meaning. “Dostoyevsky once wrote that there was only one thing that he dreaded: not to be worthy of his sufferings. The way I see it, what determines whether a man is worthy or not are the choices he makes. No matter how desperate the conditions, no matter how great the suffering, no one can deprive you of that last inner freedom to choose your attitude toward life.”
