Plague Ship (Oregon Files) 57 reviews Clive Cussler
Putnam Adult, 2008
Great Read
+ Non-stop action + Cussler Is Great
Cussler writes an excellant story of international intrigue. The "bad" people he writes about have very real counterparts in the real world. He brings science into the plot in such a way as to make you believe it could really happen just as he describes it. The plot of mass murder thru disease that ...

Haunting
+ Strong First Showing From French
I read this book about a year and a half ago and I keeping having little flashbacks to it--like sometimes fragments of a dream pop into your mind--that make me wish I was still in the middle of reading this book. I'm surprised by the reviews that describe the book as too wordy or tedious, as I have ...

The Last Patriot: A Thriller 128 reviews Brad Thor
Atria Books, 2008
Brad Thor is outstanding
+ Ntl' Treasure Meets Clive
As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and ...

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12) 279 reviews Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!
First of all let me clarify something.
There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book.
You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only:
Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps!
and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book.
Pitiful.
Specially from the ones ...

This book in the Dexter series takes a different approach than the other 2 books. I read a lot of the reviews here, and I was almost tempted not to bother listening to the audio book version I had. However, its a great read and it delves into Dexter - who he is, why he is the way he is, and what ...

This is a first for George. As with all of her stories featuring Thomas Lynley there is a crime which must be solved, but in this case the crime is really incidental to the main thrust of the story, which is Lynley's journey (both physically and emotionally ...
