Prodigal Son (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book 1)
Dean Koontz, Kevin J. Anderson
Bantam, 2005
You must read this book
+ Dr. Frankenstein is still alive, and so is the Monster
+ Koontz nailed it!
Have you ever read a book you had to force yourself to put down? This is one of those books. This is my 3rd Koontz novel and I must say the best I've read so far. I enjoyed Odd Thomas, hated Forever Odd, and absolutely loved Frankenstein.
The story starts with Victor's first, Deucalion living ...

Nimitz Class

Excellent and accurate
Kept me on the edge of my seat, couldn't put it down. Inaccurate? Hardly. This was written with the consultation of the retired commander of the British submarine fleet.

Clive Cussler's Sea Hunters, Set 1
Mike Fletcher (III)
Acorn Media, 2007
Great sea adventure archaeology
+ SHIPWRECK HISTORY
This set has episode with very unique subjects. These are not the usual but sites like the last resting places of the Prince of Wales and the Repulse, an ocean liner sunk by the Russians at the end of the war and even the flooded remains of a V-2 rocket factory in a cave. I won't spoil the surprise ...

The Curse of Willie Lynch: How Social Engineering In The Year 1712 Continues To Affect African Americans Today
James C. Rollins
Trafford Publishing, 2006
Not THE James Rollins
This is not written by the same author that produced the works of fiction including "Black Order" etc. - same name different person. Caveat emptor.

Airframe
Michael Crichton
Ballantine Books, 1997
This was like an airplane ride!
+ This is why you need to keep your seat belt fastened
+ A different M.C.
Reading this book, for me, was like riding on a commercial airplane.
You get on the plane, all excited. You hear about what's coming up in your city of destination. You strap yourself in. You're all fidgety with anticipation.
Then you wait. And wait. And wait.
You feel like getting off ...

Odd Thomas
Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2006
What an interesting protagonist Odd is!
+ Koontz' best character
+ Excellent as always
Book 1 is my favorite Odd Thomas book, to-date. Awesome story with a memorable character. I thought about Odd long after I put the book down, and it definitely made me want to read more. I started on Forever Odd (book 2) the same evening.
Dean Koontz has created a very interesting character and ...

Springer, 2007
The dawn of a new epoch of amateur astronomy
This is the book that I was expecting for along time. As Professor of Surgery I have to read medical textbooks, and I appreciate those concise volumes dedicated to medical students that can help me, then I suppose that this book could be useful to astrophysics too, not only to amateur astronomers ...

Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2007
THIS IS A GREAT BOOK
+ The Plot Thickens
I have not read any Koontz for a while. This one caught my eye so I decided to order it. I have the hard copy.
I couldn't put this book down. I loved the characters, the plot, the story and most of all the hero. From cover to cover i could not put this book down. By far one one of the best ...

Ghost Force

Ghost Force
I found this to be very entertaining and a good escape.I did not want to put it down. After reading other reviews that were negative, I was just wondering if we had read the same book. The characters were developed adequately to be able to enjoy a thriller like this book was supposed to be. If ...

Deception Point
Dan Brown
Pocket, 2006
Hard as Rock
+ Lots of suspense...
Dan Brown doesn't mess around with science; he uses rock hard facts that will blow your mind. As is his style, Brown delivers plenty of intense action, crafty characters, almost ludicrous dilemmas, and twists that leave you spinning. Read it! -Stephen Prins, author of: Strife of the Lorin

Treasure of Khan (Dirk Pitt)
Clive Cussler, Dirk Cussler
Putnam Adult, 2006
Typical Cussler novel - exciting, yet "far out" on reality.
A fast moving story line that is typically Cussler. Story line background and characters well described and integrated into the story.
