Based on a true story—P. T. Deutermann's Trial by Fire is a dramatic WWII novel of attack, survival, and triumph on board an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. One unmistakeable sign of a terrific writer is when you pick up one of their novels ... in which you have limited…
I'm embarrassed to report that I lost track of Dean Koontz somewhere along the way. When I saw the coming attractions on my reading list looking a little light, I scrounged around and found THE SILENT CORNER, the first book in the JANE HAWK series. I noted that it is…
It’s mighty rare for an author to sustain a series for as long as John Camp, a/k/a John Sanford, has for his Prey novels featuring Lucas Davenport & Co.I’ve read every book in the series, starting when Sandford did with Rules of Prey published in April 1990, 31 years ago in perfect…
Jeffery Deaver is a prolific author with several outstanding series characters. His website describes the wide range of his writing. I agree with Deaver's characterization that Lincoln is an improbable hero, and despite being Deaver's most popular character, I've never gained much momentum from the Lincoln Rhyme series.The Cutting Edge is the…
It's nice to see Kathy Reichs hitting a milestone in July, 2021 with novel #20 in her Bones series, The Bone Code, . You may recall she took off a year after book #18 in the series to deal with a personal health issue, but came back strong with #19, A Conspiracy of Bones, published…

Get ready for Fiction Fridays … because we’re going rogue!
I intend to roust your senses, pillage your serenity and stimulate your discovery of the good, the bad and the only fiction genre where a ranch breakfast is a steel metal jacket dipped in cordite.
We’re going to mix it up … on Fiction Fridays … and talk about the books which fill the Mystery-Thriller-Suspense genre.
They sire rabid fans and beget a rogue’s gallery of unaccountable tough guys, a few cerebral types and shameless sidekicks. That’s going to be part of Fiction Fridays … starting now!
Most of us who love this genre are passionate about our favorite characters.
We’re looking for great stories, new authors, undiscovered gems and the unexpected twists and turns that keep these books at the top of the best seller lists.
No PC sensibilities, no hand holding, no singing kumbaya around the campfire.
Some days, a little street justice and a big-time ass-whuppin’ is just what we need. (more…)
What have I gotten myself into? Lately, Dead or Alive
Don’t forget that I’ve just forged through two, 1,000 page books, Ken Follett’s Fall of Giants, and now Clancy’s tome
Gimme a break this time, okay?
You’re in the right place
I’m glad you’re here, though
and don’t worry if it seems like you landed on the wrong planet

Some of you may have seen The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963), and thinking, wow, that’s some spooky sh**
But did you know that John le Carre is a pseudonym
I didn’t
for David John Moore Cornwell? He was actually a spy for MI5 and MI6 in England and left the service to write novels once this blockbuster hit
Next on my shelf will be his latest, Our Kind of Traitor, which reportedly is the “old” John le Carre
