Super Casino: Inside the "New" Las Vegas

How come noone recommended me this book !!??
....surprise ! I could only find the paperback edition (while stealing a deal !). It is the best book (of too many written) about what's really happening behind-the-scenes in the casino life -- L.V. style. Not only that I strongly recommend it to those who go and play, and waste, while "dreaming" of an instant win, but now I will read more from Pete Earley : his style is terrific. I think he can ...

A long read but worth it
What an education you will recieve from reading this book. The majority of the public will never have any clue what goes on in the life of a "protected witness"or how the "system" works ... that's one of the things that drew me to the book. Is Shur slanting the story, aggrandizing his own reputation? Whatever. *The other thing that drew me to read it ... when I was in college in Southern ...

5 STAR WRITING & STORY FOR A 3 STAR SPY GUY !
Ames was unduly lucky to have not been "netted" much sooner. Mr. Earley gives us a very well written piece of work.Ames was certainly not Kim Philby or 007;but He did get away with His betrayal for some years,and that alone makes it worthy for any 20th Century Historian. The little tidbit of a quite 'hot potato'betrayal story on Henry Kissenger is worth the cost of the book alone.Earley is also ...

Must Read
This is a groundbreaking book, revealing the evolutionary changes in the modern spy game. One learns more about the political realities of modern Russia through this lens than anything any western journalist could find. One sees what today's leaders want hidden as well as what they want exposed. There are some golden oldy's here as well. I found the KGB "scientific" corruption of Carl Sagan ...

Another Great Job Pete.
I really enjoyed reading this one, and didn't want to put it down. The story is great and really well written. It kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat the entire time I read it. I really reccomend that people read, Operation Grey Wolf "High Value Target". If they liked this book, they'll love Operation Grey Wolf "High Value Target", by C. Ray McManus.

The better of the two books written about the Lundgren case
I own both of the books about Jeffrey Lundgren, and this one is by far better than the quick-and-dirty "Kirtland Massacre" by Sasse and Widder. It goes into a great more detail and is far less scattered. I knew the Avery family, all five of them, from the time Dennis and Cheryl started attending the same RLDS congregation as my family in the early 1970s, up through the early 1980s, when they ...

Hot House

Bantam, 1992

A Must Read for All Correctional Workers
This book was written by a civilian (a person who was neither a correctional employee nor an inmate) about life in a federal correctional facility. It is held in such high regard as a factual and honest account that it was recommended by the instructors from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. Since personally reading The Hot House more than ten years ago, I have purchased copies of ...

Sad and Shocking!!!!
What an absolutely chilling expose of the mental health treatment system in our affluent country. Or should I say "non-treatment system"? Shameful. Tragically, hundreds of thousands of mentally ill people are out on the streets, not receiving treatment thanks to deinstitutionalization. And the ACLU can take much of the "credit" for this. Earley's pain comes through in his writing, but he has ...

Circumstantial Evidence

Audio Scope, 1995

Couldn't put it down!
This book has SO many twists and turns you won't be able to put it down. It's a true life story that follows a murder in a small Southern town in the 1980s. The town is racist, and a black man gets sentenced to death on circumstantial evidence for the crime. The book doesn't reveal who may have really done the murder until the last few pages! Meanwhile, a million different scenarios are offered ...

Family of Spies

Bantam, 1989

portrait of treachery
"Family of Spies" is an excellent account of the Walker family spy ring, perhaps the most devastating spy ring ever to operate in the USA, certainly within the US Navy. One is constantly amazed in this book by the extent of John Walker, Jr.'s treachery, deceitfulness and total psychpathology. There isn't a person he doesn't try to use, a life he doesn't try to destroy. It also shows the ...

DISAPPOINTINGLY LAME
Started out good...i.e. the writing was good, the story was different, characters were cliché, but I ignored it. Then it all started to collapse on page 135...i.e. things just became too unbelievable to ignore. And the ending was disgustingly lame. Even if 9/10 of the book happened to be good the ending alone would have killed it. In a nut shell. A Chechen (islamic) freedom fighter is ...

The Apocalypse Stone
Pete Earley

Forge Books, 2006

"Judge not, lest ye be judged." These words have rarely if ever crossed the mind of Aberlene county judge Evan Spencer. From a middle class background, he graduated law school, married into wealth, and now has his eye on a Supreme Court seat. All seemed to be going well for Judge Spencer, until he received a package from an old college friend he hadn't heard from in years containing a cryptic note and a small stone. But in trying to track down ...
