Timeline
by Michael Crichton
Prey
by Michael Crichton
I
credit Michael Crichton for making me literate again. After not
reading a single book in high school (I didn't even finished the
assigned ones), I picked up Jurassic Park in college and become
a voracious reader.
This
is his latest, an entertaining entry into medieval Europe and
Quantum theory and time travel. Recommended for anyone who loves
adventure stories and would like a layman's explanation quantum
theory's multiverse.
The
Eight by Katherine Neville
Calculated
Risk by Katherine Neville
The
Magic Circle by Katherine Neville
Three
absolutely brilliant books, featuring the most remarkable heroines
that I've found in print. Ms. Neville takes research to a whole
new level and thoughtfully touches on everything from chess to
Elliott Waves. Recommended for everyone who loves a great story.
Recommended for anyone looking for interesting, yet accessible
introductions into advanced fields of study.
Term
Limits by Vince Flynn
Transfer
of Power by Vince Flynn
The
Third Option by Vince Flynn
Separation
of Power by Vince Flynn
For
the first time in years, I've been so impressed by an author,
I've read his entire collection straight through. In the genre
of CIA/Secret Service/Special Forces, Vince Flynn poses all-too-real
scenarios, in both a thoughtful and entertaining way. Anyone who
thinks that the tragedy of 9/11/01 couldn't have been predicted
need only to check the publication dates of this man's work.
Recommended for anyone interested in what likely goes on in behind
closed doors in the last great superpower. It is also recommended
for those interested in advanced communication skills and modeling
as I find myself constantly impressed by what appears to be the
ultimate arena for such skills.
The
Unlikely Spy by Daniel Silva
The
Mark of the Assassin by Daniel Silva
The
Marching Season by Daniel Silva
The
Kill Artist by Daniel Silva
The
English Assassin by Daniel Silva
Perhaps
the best at character development, Daniel Silva is my second favorite
of the genre. From a classic WWII novel to modern-day global thrillers,
he exposes the very real conflicts of interest by those who gain
power vicariously and anonymously through the others' interminable
idealistic wars. Recommended by anyone who enjoys Vince Flynn
for the same reasons stated above.
