A stunning and surprising new thriller, Mitch Silver’s latest novel takes readers from a secret operation during World War II—with appearances by Noel Coward and Winston Churchill—to present day London and Moscow, where Lara Klimt, “the Bookworm,” must employ all her skills to prevent an international conspiracy. Why did Hitler chose not to invade England when he had the chance? Europe, 1940: It’s late summer and Belgium has been overrun by the German army. Posing as a friar, a British operative talks his way into the monastery at Villers-devant-Orval just before Nazi art thieves plan to sweep through the area and whisk everything of value back to Berlin. But the ersatz man of the cloth is no thief. Instead, that night he adds an old leather Bible to the monastery’s library and then escapes. London, 2017: A construction worker operating a backhoe makes a grisly discovery—a skeletal arm-bone with a rusty handcuff attached to the wrist. Was this the site, as a BBC newsreader speculates, of “a long-forgotten prison, uncharted on any map?” One viewer knows better: it’s all that remains of a courier who died in a V-2 rocket attack. The woman who will put these two disparate events together—and understand the looming tragedy she must hurry to prevent—is Russian historian and former Soviet chess champion Larissa Mendelovg Klimt, “Lara the Bookworm,” to her friends. She’s also experiencing some woeful marital troubles. In the course of this riveting thriller, Lara will learn the significance of six musty Dictaphone cylinders recorded after D-Day by Noel Coward—actor, playwright and, secretly, a British agent reporting directly to Winston Churchill. She will understand precisely why that leather Bible, scooped up by the Nazis and deposited on the desk of Adolf Hitler days before he planned to attack Britain, played such a pivotal role in turning his guns to the East. And she will discover the new secret pact negotiated by the nefarious Russian president and his newly elected American counterpart—maverick and dealmaker—and the evil it portends. Oh, and she’ll reconcile with her husband.

If you have lived on this earth for any bit of time, it's safe to say you have seen a worm before. Maybe you have seen one in a fruit or in the garden, on a plant or in the soil. That is usually where worms live, after all. And as you may know, our story is about a worm. But this worm is special. This little worm once lived inside a book. I know it sounds strange at first. "Do books have worms like apple?" you might ask. You see, when a book gets very old, small worms slowly start to eat its pages. They are called bookworms.

Father O'Conor is a poet, who set out to answer these questions: Is the "bookworm" a fact in nature? What is it like? What does it do? What can be told about it? And "they are all answered." The book is in two parts, the first telling about the history of bookworms in literature and the second about their work in books -- in libraries. The existence of bookworms has often been doubted and even ridiculed, but Father O'Conor has seen 72 specimens with his own eyes. "No astronomer, searching the heavens with his lenses, and feeling the throb of joy as the light of a new star breaks on his vision, felt a keener joy" than that experienced by the author when he discovered his first bookworm in the library of Georgetown University. To some authors the bookworm is an insect, to others a bug. to still others a bird making a crowing noise "like a cock unto his mate," and to Father O'Conor, on looking at the Attaginus pellio, "I could but compare it in shape to a miniature whale." The theory of Mr. Blades that the bookworm will not touch our adulterated modern paper is shown to be an error, for our author has found him in the New York World for 1868, and in the Scientific American for 1875. In conclusion, "the facts about bookworms are these" "There are bookworms, the real living insects. They are not a thing of the past, but are doing mischief to-day. They eat not only old books, but all books; not only vegetable fibre but any kind of paper. They are not known. They revel in libraries. They destroy there, where they are not suspected, where the suggestion of their presence would be scoffed at." There is an appendix containing entomological notes by Prof. C. V. Riley, of the U. S. Entomological Commission. The date of the note is 1881. One of the suggestions of Prof. Riley for ridding books of bookworms is that they (the books) be placed in a watertight box and then sunk into hot water. Father O'Conor's little book contains 12 illustrations, nine of them being specimens of bookworms. The book is not only well worth a place on library shelves, but it is well worth reading by the librarian. --Library Journal, Volume 23

Excerpt from The Bookworm: An Illustrated Treasury of Old-Time Literature Either the taste for collecting bookplates is much more widely spread than is commonly supposed, or the study of Heraldry is being largely revived, if we may judge by the fact that the Ex Libris Society now numbers over 350 members. As the society was founded less than three years ago, such a result speaks well for the energy of the council and officers. The annual general meeting and conversazione will be held in January or February next, at St. Martin's Town Hall, when there will be an exhibi tion of ancient heraldic documents and charters, in addition to the collections of scarce bookplates formed by the members. It is understood that owing to the annual change of officers, Mr. James Roberts Brown will relinquish the post of chairman, in which case the present hon. Treasurer, Mr. Walter Hamilton, will be pro posed for that office, and some other member of the council will be elected to take charge of the Society's funds, which are in a very flourishing condition, and are expected to show a handsome balance at the end of the year. Whilst on the topic of bookplates, it may be mentioned that besides the new edition of Mr. Castle's book one is also promised, by Mr. Charles Dexter Allen, on American ex-libris,0 UR note-book.
