Exceptional read.
This by far is one of the best books I have read in a while. I read it cover to cover in one day and I am a fairly slow and detailed reader. I could not put it down. Without A Badge takes you deep into the life of a narcotics investigator with such a zeal for cleaning up the streets that it is personally motivating. I am now reading for the second time. I can't wait until I see this one in ...

Deadliest Legacy
I was pleased by the intrigue from the start and the creativity throughout the entire book. The book held my interest from the start and just went up from there. The characters were well developed with a realistic and believable plot for such an incredible story. The poetic descriptions of the characters, city and neighborhoods made the book a treat if not a classic. I just hope there will be ...

A moving tale
There are not many books that can bring me to tears, but this one did it. The lives of the people in the book are as amazing as they are sad. It reminded me just how strong some people can be. And just how evil others can be. In the middle of the worst natural disater in history people were actually praying on those who had just lost everything. I spent some time in Thailand years ago, but I ...

Review of Deadliest Art & To Die In Provence
Some might have said that Norman Bogner was playing bad poker and attempting to draw to an inside straight when he wrote `To Die In Provence' in 1998. After all, he was a writer of mainstream fiction -- Seventh Avenue, The Madonna Complex, California Dreamers, among others - and the Provence book is a mystery. But after you read it you find it is much more than a mystery. The major characters, ...

Exposing a "Lost War"
There is no better historian of the Indian Wars writing today than Gregory Michno, and in his latest book he more than confirms that judgment. His previous books, which include Lakota Noon and The Mystery of E Troop (available on amazon) - hands down two of the best histories ever written of the Battle of the Little Bighorn - established Michno's credentials as a historian par excellence and ...

I love this book!
This book is presented in an easy-to-read format and is full of great information and fabulous recipes. I finally understand what trans fat is and why it is so bad for you.

Not Just Horror: Much in here for Mainstream audiences
Michael Oliveri's debut novel is more than just great entertainment, and it's more than just the winner of the prestigious Bram Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association (First Novel category for 2001). In part, it's a study of socio-economic and gender subjugation--of what happens when an entire class of people is forced into the servitude of another, denied its basic civil liberties, and ...

It reads like a mystery novel
Waldholz does a wonderful job of transporting the reader into the world of cancer research through stories and events of the scientists, doctors, and patients who are paving the road to the greatest discoveries in medical history. I really enjoyed how the author was able to make medical science easy to read and understand. The book is exciting, uplifting, and reads from one event to the next ...

Reads like fast-paced fiction, but it's all true!
This excellent title, from the "Read it to believe it!" series, reads like gripping, fast-paced fiction, but it's all based on the incredible eyewitness accounts of those who were on or near Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980. Written at about a 4th grade level, this one gets checked-out a lot every May in our Washington State elementary school library. I often make an annual tradition of reading ...
America's Deadliest Battle: Meuse-Argonne, 1918 (Modern War Studies)

Robert H. Ferrell
University Press of Kansas
, 2007
Excellent, but brief, history
As Ferrell says in his introduction, most Americans today don't know much about our country's involvement in the First World War, despite its influence on the following century and the world we live in today. This volume gives a wonderfully succinct overview of America's entry into the war in 1917, including justified criticism of President Wilson and Sec. of War Baker's inability to put the ...

A classic in the Osho genre
"The East has committed one mistake: it has been trying to reach to the stars without going deeper into the earth, and it has been a complete failure. The West has committed another mistake: it goes on growing the roots into the earth, into matter, and it has forgotten completely about the stars"...this is what Osho writes. "Faith is the greatest hindrance in people's search for truth. ...
Mathew Swain: The Deadliest Show in Town

Mike McQuay
Bantam Books
, 1982
Pulp Science fiction at its best
This is cyber-punk before there was such a thing. The future that McQuay paints..."where ghettos are war zones, the rich hide behind six inches of armor plate, and the cops work for the highest bidder"...is compelling and his use of language is superb. These Mathew Swain books are dedicated to Raymond Chandler and its a very apt choice; Mike McQuay has created the perfect futuristic private eye, ...

I've never had to live through a hurricane. Living in the Midwest, I don't see it happening in the near future, and after reading HURRICANE FORCE I can say that I'm glad! If you've ever wondered about the destructive force of these massive storms, this is definitely the book for you. Although a large portion of the book focuses on the August 2005 arrival of Hurricane Katrina to the Gulf Coast, ...

This attempts to understand the radioactive aftermath
The reactor at Chernobyl was too large and too well engineered to produce the kind of explosion that is considered typical for weapons, but it was capable of reaching temperatures that were much higher than mere fireman could cool by spraying water on the blaze. For most of the people involved in fighting the fire, the temperature was a minor problem compared to the radioactive storm of particles ...
