James Byron Huggins
Harvest House Publishers,U.S.
Great Book
Huggins does a masterful job of combining Christian truth with modern warfare. The hero realizes that in order to defeat evil, sometimes you must take up a "sword" and fight. I would highly recommend it.

The Day of Reckoning ( " Star Wars " Jedi Apprentice)46 reviews
Jude Watson
Scholastic, 2000
good padawan gone bad
This is one of my favorite books. I always like books where good guys go bad. Xanatos was Qui-Gon Jinns former padawan. He already went to the dark side. When Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi went on a mission to Telos Xanatos' home planet. They ran into a surprise. Xanatos was waiting for them. They fell into many of Xanatos' traps yet in the end of the book the jedi manages to put Xanatos in a ...

Ten Degrees of Reckoning17 reviews

UTD Press, 2007
Ten Degrees of Reckoning
Ten Degrees of Reckoning by Hester Rumberg is a haunting yet heartwarming book that is difficult to put down while you are reading it and even more difficult to forget once you have finished the last page. The injustice of the events pervades your very being and yet Judy Sleavin's persistence in living demonstrates the power that love can have one one's life. A must read.

Dead Reckoning17 reviews
Robert A. Furlani
Writers Club Press, 2002
Thrilling Action from Beginning to End!
I normally don't care that much for action books but this book was great! It had a little bit of everything for everybody. There was a little war action, some prison action, some robbery action, bombs and more! Everything you could ask for! This would make a wonderful movie. Very descriptive and thrilling to the very end.

A Damaged Man Against A Damaged World
The Reckoning chronicles John Morrison's journey as he struggles to survive in a post apocalyptic world. His once imperfect life is now complicated by a strange sulfuric fog that pollutes the air and water and 'changes' people, ultimately killing them.
John's life was far from stellar before 'it' happened. As the current story unfolds, the author begins each chapter with a glimpse into John's ...

Timing is Everything
There are stories that are ponderous and meaningful. There are stories that are light and carefree. There are stories that are tedious and depressing.
Then there are stories that you whip through (it's so easy to read), and at the end of it you nod, smile and say, "That was a neat story. That was a good story."
Dead Reckoning IS the latter. It's a good, neat story. It is deft in its ...

The Beast: A Reckoning with Depression39 reviews
Tracy Thompson
Putnam Adult, 1995
One of the best books abot Depression I have ever read
This is a book from the inside out, meaning the author writes well about the subject because it comes from within. I have read several books about depression, and this is the one that has impressed me the most. Honest, well-written, and it tells it like it is. At times I found myself disagreeing with the author's actions (but who am I to judge) as if she was a character (see, it reads like a good ...

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2008
I cried and cried until all the tears in my eyes dried up . . . . ; _ ;
Now . . . having read all 10 books of Last of the Jedi, I have come to the conclusion that THIS is the best work Jude Watson-san has ever done, really ! ( Um . . . my second favourite is Jedi Quest, by the way. )
Well . . . to be frank, I was already on the verge of tears when I was only half way through the story . . . and . . . I was really crying ( silently ) while I was reading the last ...

Liam Galvin

A journey begins...
"Deadly Reckonings" is an amazing novel about one family's greed and desire for wealth and power, creating an ultimate race caught between the dredges of good and evil, fighting for their own survival. Up and coming author, Liam Galvin creates a genre all his own, interweaving mystery/ suspense, romance/ spiritualism, and a touch of murder and mahem to captivate even the toughest of readers.

Reckoning...dead
Carter Crosby's first in a series book leaves you waiting for the second. A fast and mesmorizing tale of Russian Mafia, the tragedies of Afghanistan, plus a study of humans' fine line between souls - friendships and betrayals - make this book intriguing. Can't wait for #2!

Complete Stories of Robert Bloch: Final Reckonings (Complete Stories of Robert Bloch, Volume 1)4 reviews
Robert Bloch
Citadel, 1998
A Bloch Party
Robert Bloch's first volume of complete stories is gruesome fun. Some of his most famous and chilling short stories can be found in this collection. Many of these stories were translated into either film by Amicus productions (The House That Dripped Blood, Asylum, Torture Garden, Tales from the Crypt, etc.) or made into a radio play. Among the great stories contained are "Mannikins of Horror" ...

Tanya Parker Mills
BookSurge Publishing, 2008
Unusual romantic thriller set in Saddam Hussein's Iraq
Part of the power of this first novel comes from Mills' skill in creating interesting characters, and part comes from the veracious atmosphere she creates, and part from a masterful command of narrative. Like all successful novelists, Mills allows the reader to know exactly what the reader needs to know, but no more. Or perhaps I should say there are enough plot twists en route to an ...

North Reckoning5 reviews
J.T. Jernberg
Dorrance Publishing Co. Inc., 2007
A unique Western with plenty of action
If you like original Westerns, you'll like this book. The novel draws upon themes common to Westerns, such as revenge and justice, but it combines and twists them into a unique story. The ending in particular is quite original. It's not the stereotypical ride off into the sunset, but it's still fulfilling. Don't worry; there's still plenty of gunfights to keep the plot moving!

Great!
Dear God...please tell me more people have read this book than it appears! First of all, at Barnes and Noble I had to ORDER it because it wasn't in stock! Then I see only one person has reviewed it! These books are great; the feel is so Bram Stoker and yet the stories are different enough that it's not just a copycat...I hope this book gets all the recognition it deserves because I thoroughly ...

A Happy Accident
I first came across Sniegoski's "Fallen" series by accident while working as a councelor at a Maine summer camp. It was the best thing ever. Ever since reading the first book, I've been officially hooked. "The Reckoning" continues with all the power and enticing action that started in the first book. It just keeps on going. I was beyond impatient to get the book, and very smug while ...

The Second Family: Reckoning with Adolescent Power6 reviews
Ron Taffel, Melinda Blau
St. Martin's Press, 2001
Peers for Positive Encouragement and Parents for Direction
Before reviewing this book, you should know that it includes extremely foul language, very explicit descriptions of sex acts, and other material that exceed what you would find in an R rated movie. Dr. Taffel acknowledges this, but feels like it is important to conveying his message. I agree. Many aspects of this book could be describing when I was a teenager back in the 1960s. Dr. Taffel ...
