Peregrine's Island is the third volume in the four volume series The Berlin Book. This volume follows the career of the German-American writer, John Schade, the main character of volume one Schade's Passage. He returns to the USA after his tour of duty in Berlin as a cultural affairs officer in the American sector with a pile of notes for a novel about the exile experience of anti-Nazi Germans including his own family. Disappointed with the sales of and lack of royalties from the book, he moves to Key West at the southeastern end of the Florida Keys in 1947 to live cheaply and write a second novel. On the island he meets new friends including Perri who becomes his lover, the photo journalist Francesca, the part time hooker Silver, the blind newsbringer Anselmo, the writer Samuel Mithman (who appears briefly in volumes one & two), and the Jewish German now American sailor Franz Friedmann who becomes a close friend but leaves to join the nascent Israeli navy in the war between the new Jewish state and its Arab neighbors. Matters involving Berlin catch up with Schade throughout the book: His former cultural affairs colleague in that city, William Makepeace, visits to urge him to return to Berlin and write about the Soviet blockade of the western sectors; characters he knew in the city write him giving news of the situation there; and representatives of Israel visit to convince him to talk to gentiles in Miami in an effort to raise money to fund hospitals and support the war effort. The torrid tropical atmosphere of the island leads to all sorts of sensual and sexual experiences for the characters. In the end, Schade finishes the novel and is once again drawn back to the ruptured former capital of Germany, the narrative of which will be contained in volume four, Ursula's Triumph.

Peregrine is the story of a ten year old boy who learns to train falcons and in the process learns about life as well.
A plot to render the shrine that is the Holy of Holies of Islam - yes, the Kaaba - out of bounds to a generation of pilgrims.A plot hatched within the Islamic world in such murky circumstances that two veteran intelligence agents allowed themselves to be ensnared into undertaking a mission which would be the culmination of their careers: the undoing of the plot. The most unlikely of friends, their conversation exhibits that uninhibitedness which true friendship engenders.Though not every detail in the book can be attested to, none of those in the know disputes the general outline of what is narrated here.PREVIEWS'Let the reader be warned: not a pool-side book. A demanding read.''This is not only the story of how two men strove to undo a plot which threatened to ignite an explosion of violence in the Middle East, a conflagration which would have spilled over to other regions, it is a work which pays homage - mainly through the Turk, Sinan - to the legacy that Western Europe has bequeathed to humanity.''Knowingly ignorant of the depth and reach of the conspiracy, they Shlomo and Sinan] set out to avert Armageddon. All this against a backdrop of conspiracy within the Turkish Deep State. The reader is left to wonder whether Shlomo and Sinan were just pawns - witting, willing, but pawns nonetheless - ...or even decoys''I had hoped that the figure of the engaging masclista had died with Leonard Cohen, but this writer outdoes Lenny at his zenith - nadir, rather.' (Eva, once militant now mellowed, Barcelona feminist).'Could a young man have written this young man's chronicle? One doubts it.'
