Very Plausible World War III

+ Best Tom Clancy Book, Red Storm Rising!!
+ Red Storm Rising a Good Old Book

This is Clancy's only novel that does not reflect the Ryan-verse of his other novels. This one follows mostly one soldier in Iceland. When Russia overwhelms Europe to create the third world war. This novel was a very easy read and is very well written. After reading the book, I felt like i ...
  
  











  



  
Prodigal Son (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book 1)112 reviews
Dean Koontz, Kevin J. Anderson

Bantam, 2005

You must read this book

+ Dr. Frankenstein is still alive, and so is the Monster
+ Koontz nailed it!

Have you ever read a book you had to force yourself to put down? This is one of those books. This is my 3rd Koontz novel and I must say the best I've read so far. I enjoyed Odd Thomas, hated Forever Odd, and absolutely loved Frankenstein. The story starts with Victor's first, Deucalion living ...
  
  











  



  
The Shark Mutiny64 reviews
Patrick Robinson

HarperTorch, 2002

A mediocre read. Entertaining, but lacking a lot.

The Shark Mutiny is the fifth submarine techno-thriller from Patrick Robinson. I enjoy Robinson's writing, since, in contrast to Clancy (whom I also enjoy), Robinson deals a little more extensively with the personal side of the characters that he develops. However, it didn't meet my expectations. ...

Hard as Rock

Dan Brown doesn't mess around with science; he uses rock hard facts that will blow your mind. As is his style, Brown delivers plenty of intense action, crafty characters, almost ludicrous dilemmas, and twists that leave you spinning. Read it! -Stephen Prins, author of: Strife of the Lorin

Excellent Sequel to Odd Thomas

+ If you like Odd....this is a must
+ A really good follow up to Odd Thomas book 1 in this series

Great book. A definite must read and a great follow up to Odd Thomas. The book was hard to put down as I needed to know what happened.

I haven't read this book in a long time, but I feel obligated to write a review due to the vast amount of controversy over it. First, let me just tell you my impressions of the book. I found it riveting to read. It is definitely a page-turner which keeps you hooked until the very end. The ...

This was like an airplane ride!

+ This is why you need to keep your seat belt fastened
+ A different M.C.

Reading this book, for me, was like riding on a commercial airplane. You get on the plane, all excited. You hear about what's coming up in your city of destination. You strap yourself in. You're all fidgety with anticipation. Then you wait. And wait. And wait. You feel like getting off ...

Odd (whose strange name supposedly comes from an error on his birth certificate where the T was dropped from Todd) has come to St. Bartholomew's Abbey ...

Michael Crichton at his best. With today's technology digging deeper and deeper into our brains this book should make everyone stop for a minute and wonder if we need to leave that unexplored frontier alone.

Ghost Force

I found this to be very entertaining and a good escape.I did not want to put it down. After reading other reviews that were negative, I was just wondering if we had read the same book. The characters were developed adequately to be able to enjoy a thriller like this book was supposed to be. If ...

What an interesting protagonist Odd is!

+ Excellent as always

Book 1 is my favorite Odd Thomas book, to-date. Awesome story with a memorable character. I thought about Odd long after I put the book down, and it definitely made me want to read more. I started on Forever Odd (book 2) the same evening. Dean Koontz has created a very interesting character and ...

Crichton's big ticket

+ Nice early work of Crichton

I actually saw the movie before I read the book. I thought the movie was really good until I read the book... Wow! Crichton's writing style is amazing and addictive! Now, when I see the movie, I still think it's good, but it pales in comparison to the book.

Not THE James Rollins

This is not written by the same author that produced the works of fiction including "Black Order" etc. - same name different person. Caveat emptor.
