Red Storm Rising 286 reviews Tom Clancy
Berkley, 1987
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 Mutiny 64 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. ...

Deception Point 191 reviews Dan Brown
Pocket, 2006
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

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 ...

Airframe 539 reviews Michael Crichton
Ballantine Books, 1997
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 ...

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.

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 ...

The Andromeda Strain 376 reviews Michael Crichton
Avon, 2003
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.
