Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12) 278 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 ...

Atria Books, 2008
Brad Thor is outstanding

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 ...

Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel (Elvis Cole) 71 reviews Robert Crais
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Great book, great series overall
+ Another great book
I had never read any books by Robert Crais prior to 2 months ago when I picked up Chasing Darkness. I had seen the name Elvis Cole here and there and thought any book with a PI named Elvis was probably going to be a joke, literally and figuratively. I am glad I overcame my own foolish ...

Dead Time 31 reviews Stephen White
Dutton Adult, 2008
"Dead Time" is a suspensful thriller for the older crowd.
+ Dick Hill is a great reader.... however,
Thrilling, cliffhanger novel. I've never read any of Stephen White's novels before but the nice cover and "New York Times Best selling author" definetely attracted me to this book.
PROS:
-Very thrilling! Very fast-paced book, you can expect to finish this book in 1-2 weeks.
-Intricate plot, ...

Fire Study (Study, Book 3) 39 reviews Maria V. Snyder
Mira, 2008
Too good to be the end!
+ An Ok finish... + Snyder's imagination does not disappoint!
Loved it! I love the characters. They tend to develop, yet stay true to their nature. A great love story without being entirely focused around being a romance novel. I just hope this isn't the last in the series. :( There is just too much left to explore!

I was delightfully surprised by a Patterson book that escapes the confines of his usual murder mystery novels and suspends the very reality that makes many of his other novels so powerful. I related greatly to Jane as a child, and it brought back many of my own painful memories that were good to ...
