  • The Dragon Factory
    • Rated 4 stars

    “The Department of Military Sciences (DMS) comes under attack by the Vice President who wants to take control of the DMS computer systems. Church, the head of DMS does what he can to ensure that the VP is not successful. While the DMS teams are avoiding the NSA and other federal authorities, a bigger threat is brewing that would change the world as we know it.

    After the trouble with the NSA dies down, Joe Ledger and his team embark on a mission with little knowledge of what is ahead, or knowing whom to trust. The team encounters forces that shouldn't exist. They must deal with the world's most dangerous and dyfunctional family.

    This was a great follow up to Patient Zero and I'm definitely looking forward to reading Maberry's next Joe Ledger adventure, The King of Plagues.”

  • Blood and Ice
    • Rated 3 stars

    “First off, I did enjoy the story, but I felt it took far too long to get to the meat of the story. Once the characters are set up and the young couple are free of the ice, the pacing of the story definitely improves. Robert Masello does an excellent job of painting a picture, it was easy for me to visualize the characters and the icy backdrop. In the stories defense, I mostly read thrillers, so where I found weakness in the pacing of Blood and Ice, other readers may be perfectly happy with it.”

  • From Cape Town with Love
    • Rated 4 stars

    “The story had a slow start, introducing readers to all the characters. Once Tennyson was forced out of the kidnapping case by the FBI, the story starts to pick up. With the Tennyson series it's not so much about the mystery it's about his life. The growing relationship between Tennyson, Chelsa and his dad made a good backstory. I still don't know how I feel about Marsha, she's one of those either-you-hate-her-or-you-don't characters. I loved the ending, I felt it was a good resolution for Tennyson, a sort of self-discovery about himself.”

  • Blonde Faith
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I read that Mr. Mosley will be writing 2 more books in the series. Although I really enjoyed this book, originally believing it was the final bow for Easy Rawlins, I'd expected more from the story. But since Easy's story is continuing, my excitement level has risen. I had originally given Blonde Faith a 3.5 because I thought there wasn't enough closure given, but I'm upping it to 4.”

  • Dillon and the Legend of the Golden Bell
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Dillon finds himself in trouble once again in a new adventure. Dillon and his companions travel to a remote warring region to retrieve the Golden Bell. Of course the journey is plagued with dangers as he faces mutated creatures, a vengeful military commander, gangsters, a powerful madman and an unspeakable evil.
    Dillon and the Legend of the Golden Bell is a fast paced over-the-top action adventure story. Author Derrick Ferguson makes reading fun as readers are pulled along for the ride of their lives.”

  • Executive Power
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Mitch Rapp seems to have the same answer for how the CIA should handle a threat. Despite his repetitiveness for wanting to kill the enemy, you have to respect him for the way he can convince his superiors to see things his way. And when they don't, well hell, Mitch Rapp is going to do the deed anyway. Another good book from Vince Flynn.”

  • The Naked Edge

    The Naked Edge

    by David Morrell
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I enjoyed the book. Though you don't need to read the first book in the series, I would recommend it, so that you have an opportunity to understand the dynamics between Cavanaugh and Jamie. The first book is called The Protector.”

  • Dillon and the Voice of Odin
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Written in the fashion of the classic pulp novels made popular by characters such as Doc Savage and The Shadow, author Derrick Ferguson has created a new adventure hero whose toughness and bravado will be long remembered after you finish reading this book.

    Dillon is hired to retrieve a ring. There wasn’t supposed to be any trouble. He was told by his client that it was an easy in, easy out retrieval. Dillon finds out rather quickly that nothing is as unproblematic as it first appears. With a huge bounty set on Dillon’s head, he and a reluctant maiden in distress are chased throughout the countryside of England by not only a group of ruthless mercenaries, but also by the British government.

    Thing worsen as Odin, a criminal mastermind, uses a destructive weapon to cause havoc around the globe. The world’s governments must turn to one man to bring down Odin and his organization, but with assassins on his trail, you will wonder if Dillon can succeed.

    Dillon and the Voice of Odin was simply a thrill ride from beginning to end.”

  • Chronicle of the Liberator
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Thomas Jackson didn't think much of himself or the world around him. As far as Thomas was concern, he was an ordinary man simply living out a life that seems to never change. But on the day he should have died, his life had changed. Transported by alien technology to a space ship, Thomas was told he was to become Earth's savior, but to do this, he must assassinate a ruthless alien leader who wishes to end peace and reignite a war. Thomas has no choice but to agree.

    After receiving training, Thomas is taken to a world called Harmony. The Erza who are the inhabitants of Harmony believe that Thomas is their prophesied hero called the Liberator, who would lead them to freedom from foreign invaders. There, Thomas learns first hand the art of war as he struggles to save the Erza from ruthless alien leader, Supreme Commander Konif'on, who has aspirations of rebuilding a grand galactic military.

    Author Ronald T. Jones did an excellent job with description, characters and setting the mood throughout the entire story. He actually makes you feel as if you were standing in the middle of a heated conflict as he takes the reader through the battle on Harmony. The story's pacing was perfect as Thomas is taken from his meager existence on Earth to eventual hero on Harmony.

    This is a book that is definitely worth the time to read. Bravo
    ”
