The Ghost Agent
Alex Berenson
Hutchinson, 2008
Good follow up
In Berenson's previous novel we met John Wells, a spy so deep that there were concerns he had gone native. In addition to being a very intelligent thriller, it had a hero who was a Muslem and was very clear that there are peaceful Muslems and those who are fanatics. ...

Not in the Flesh
Ruth Rendell
Hutchinson, 2007
Nice Addition to the Wexford Series
I have been a fan of Ruth Rendell novels for more than three decades but her Wexford novels have never been my favorite Rendell books. Nevertheless, I have read each and every one of them and have found them to be consistently high-quality police procedurals always ...

Illegal Action
Stella Rimington
Hutchinson, 2007
I'm sure glad I discovered this writer
I still need to read her first book in this series and also her autobiography. However, she's certainly carving a niche for herself and I noticed that she's even obliquely referred to by another outstanding lady author, P.D. James, in her recent book, THE LIGHTHOUSE.I ...

Pagan Celtic Britain
Anne Ross
Hutchinson Radius, 1997
Still recommended reading!
A great deal of research and archaeological findings have taken place since this classic was first published. Nevertheless, I recommend this comprehensive volume for its wealth of description of Celtic iconography and other evidence. Scholars may justifiably differ ...

THE LITTLE RED TRAIN STORYBOOK
Benedict Blathwayt
Hutchinson, 2002
4 great stories, even better pictures
This is a great storybook collection for 2-6 year olds. The stories are about 7 minutes long, and the pictures are so detailed, that they are stories in themselves for the older kids. I have read them to my daughter and son for 3 years now, and they don't get tired ...

Our Times: The Age of Elizabeth II
A.N. Wilson
Hutchinson, 2008
When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, there were many who proclaimed that a new Elizabethan Age had begun. Few could have any inkling, however, of the stupendous changes that were going to take place, in Britain and around the world. The collapse of British power in the world and the near-evaporation of its wealth were established facts, ...

My Life
Bill Clinton
Hutchinson, 2004
This book changed my perspective about Clintons...
Being a fatherless child, I can understand the depth of Clinton's feeling now. He has touched a lot in this limited room. I wish, I could get more where I wanted while reading. This is an excellent autobiography. He proved himself to be one of us rather than some elite ...

A Rough Ride
Paul Kimmage
Hutchinson, 1990
Pro Cycling Explained
What's it like to be a wonderfully talented amateur bicycle racer who gets thrown into the meat-grinder of professional cycling? Kimmage answers the question in honest yet depressing detail.
An example: This book explains that the fatigued riders who did not place ...

Ekaterinburg
Helen Rappaport
Hutchinson, 2008
Worth the postage
I took a risk with this book -- rather than wait months for the American edition, I pre-ordered it sight unseen and coughed up an extra 30% in shipping to the USA.
Short version: thumbs up. Had it read in an afternoon.
Long version: Rappaport's even-handed ...
