An Irish Country Doctor
For me this book was an easy, quick, read that I could hardly put down. The dry, witty, humor gave me many laughs. I especially liked watching the relationship develop between the old, established, doctor and the young, new doctor. A very good read that I have passed on to others.

Irish Tiger
To be short and sweet and to the point, if you like Greeley's style you'll enjoy this book. I haven't finished it yet, but so far I have found it a very enjoying read.

Blasphemy 113 reviews
Douglas Preston
Forge Books, 2008
Excellent 'mysteries of the universe' thriller
As an avid reader of thrillers, especially ones with a measure of the supernatural (these are also the types of books I like to write), Blasphemy is a book that I absolutely had to have based on the story description. It plumbs the depth of some of the most fascinating topics - the big bang, supercolliders, science & religion, the mysteries of the universe...what's not to love?! Blasphemy goes ...

People of the Weeping Eye (First North Americans) 5 reviews

Forge Books, 2008
superb ancient North American thriller
Almost a millennium ago, an advanced civilization existed on what is now the Moundsville section of Alabama. Split Sky City had one thousand inhabitants with giant palisades and mounds built as a gate to protect the citizens. Like suburbs, additional villages were located nearby along the river and occasionally one tribe conquered another. Alligator Town has been attacked and the Chief Clan of ...

The Last Jihad (Political Thrillers Series #1)213 reviews
Joel C. Rosenberg
Forge Books, 2003
Wow! Thrilling and Thought-Provoking
The back-story of this novel is almost as good as the book itself. Joel Rosenberg predicted terrorist attacks against the United States--even imagined they'd come in the form of kamikaze airplane attacks--BEFORE the events of 9/11. This book begins to paint a picture--drawn on his real world experience in and around the Middle East, Washington and elsewhere--about why today's events are unfolding ...

Amazing journey through pre-Columbian Central America
Incredible journey through Central America before and up to the devastation that was the arrival of the Europeans. Gripping story with a lot of action wrapped in insightful historical perspective. Great characters and although the life of the main character may be a little too big to be one person's life the context and the environment through which he takes you is extremely believable and pretty ...

The Machiavelli Covenant39 reviews

I hope there's another installment....too good to end!
"The Day After Tomorrow" is one of my all-time favorite novels and one I recommend constantly. So I had extremely high hopes when I stumbled upon "The Machiavelli Covenant," and it did not disappoint! [I had not read "The Exile" but it did't interfere with my enjoyment or understanding of this book.]
I am so confused by the negative reviews of this book, since I thought it was supurb from ...

The Lance Thrower - Jack Whyte
A friend, who knows my taste in books put me on to Jack Whyte some time ago. I found a copy of The Skystone, read it, then went out and bought the rest of the series. The Lance Thrower continues with what I describe as a 'can't put down' book. Mr Whyte certainly knows how to capture one's attention and I love the way a jolly good yarn is woven around a little of the history of Britain. An awesome ...

Moving and engaging
This novel by Orson Scott Card about the life of the matriarch Rebekah, is at once moving and engaging.
Unlike some novels, such as Sarah by Marek Halter and The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant, where the women are portayed as worshiping idols and other gods, she is shown as a strong women, devoted to the service of Yahweh since she was little, as are the other matriarchs in the Women of Genesis ...

Premise: This the 19th book in the Midnight Louie Mystery series. This volume brings into play the Red Hat Sisterhood - an organization for women over 50 that encourages freedom, fun, and that life is not lost once that benchmark is reached. For PR wiz Temple Barr, this gig should have been a piece of cake - that is until murder enters the scene and Electra Lark, Temple's fun loving landlady is ...

Elmer Kelton
Forge Books, 2008
Drought, civilization and compromise
This book is unlike any of Kelton's other works. The time setting is the 1950s and the seven-year drought we experienced during those years. The plot/theme is the end of the era of independence and freedom among cow men ... the time when they told themselves the drought forced them to sell themselves to the government to receive hay in return for their souls and their pasts. I think of this ...

One Star is One Star Too Many
George Noory is no Art Bell. He is ignorant of many of the subjects on which he interviews people, and you can occasionally hear a smirk in his voice when he's talking to a caller. He does occasionally have an interesting guest, but C2C generally has become drivel since Art Bell's latest retirement. I sure hope that he comes back. The book is as bad as the show. It is a surface treatment of ...

When the CIA is tipped off that one of its most wanted men is going to be in Bologna, Italy, Ferg and the First Team are tasked to apprehend him at any cost--but under no circumstances can Italian authorities be made aware. There is just one problem: no one has seen the man in over ten years, and he is only known by a decades-old code-name: T-Rex. This assassin has been involved in the murder of at least a dozen prominent western leaders, and ...
