Biographies of contemporary American political figures constitute several of this week’s selections in Newsmax Rising Bestsellers. There is one that recalls the life and times of one of America’s top legal luminaries, considered a leading constitutional scholar in the classroom. Two others recount the life of a former and (as of this week) current U.S. president. Another offering describes how to resist the psychological warfare being waged upon the American people by our own government. And the fiction selection is an instant New York Times bestseller.“Now or Never (31) (Stephanie Plum),” by Janet Evanovich (Atria Books)

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum buries herself into her work to stall for time and avoid the pickle she put herself in — being engaged to two different men. And her list of fugitives is a doozy. They include a self-proclaimed vampire with a penchant for beautiful women, an online Robin Hood who steals from the middle class to give to the needy, and a wealthy trafficker of young girls. Underneath it all, she has to decide what to do about the two guys she said “yes” to. “Stephanie Plum fans will be pleased to know that book No. 31 is classic Stephanie Plum at her finest,” said Debbie for GoodReads. “Janet Evanovich’s writing always provides light comedic relief to some of the heavier types of books I may be reading. I never seem to tire of her witty cast of characters or their antics. I was laughing out loud by the sixth page and continued throughout the story. I love Lula and Grandma Mazur, and all the other crazy characters.”  [Fiction]“Legal Gladiator: The Life of Alan Dershowitz,”  by Solomon Schmidt (Skyhorse)

Here’s the long-awaited biography of the renowned Harvard law professor emeritus, legal eagle, and Newsmax contributor affectionately known as “Dersh.” He rose from a failing Brooklyn high school student to become one of the most celebrated legal minds in America. Dersh was the youngest law professor in Harvard’s history, and represented the likes of Claus von Bulow, Mike Tyson, O.J. Simpson, Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald Trump. “Schmidt briskly dispenses with Dershowitz’s early life, reaching the day of his Yale Law School graduation by page 33 of the 351-page text. Most of the balance is taken up with the stories of Dershowitz’s famous cases and clients, including Claus von Bülow, O.J. Simpson, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump,” wrote Susan McFadden for The Law Society Gazette. “The resulting book will be of interest to anyone wishing to hear the Dershowitz view of Dershowitz.”  [Nonfiction]“PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order,” by Robert W. Malone MD MS & Jill G. Malone, PhD (Skyhorse)
