Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA
Richard C. Hoagland, Mike Bara
Feral House, 2007
Good as Far As It Goes
The authors bite off a bit more more than they can chew in this book, but they deserve praise for making the effort to uncover the black hole known as NASA. People who think the face and the pyramids at Cydonia are natural rock formations are the same people who think ...

The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life In God
Dallas Willard
HarperOne, 1998
Magnificent
I am not sure how to write a review for a book that I will reference for the rest of my life. I had great expectations for this book before beginning it and they were all met. This book is about the Sermon on the Mount and so much more - discipleship to Christ.

The Rise of the Fourth Reich: The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America
Jim Marrs
William Morrow, 2008
Well Documented and Difficult to Refute
This book is extensively sourced and footnoted, making it easy enough to verify the allegations for yourself if you are so inclined. I took a few weeks to go through this book and was able to trace many of the key assertions. Sadly, the Bush Administration has moved ...

Vince Flynn
Pocket Star, 2006
A Page Turner
My first Flynn novel, definitely not my last. Kept me turning pages (clicking on my Kindle) while family around me welcomed in my new grandaughter.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
John Perkins
Plume, 2005
Very thought provoking.
I enjoyed the way the author tied details of modern history to the events of his life. Very thought provoking. I think it is striking the way the individuals who critique it for a lack of statistics provide none of their own.

Behold a Pale Horse
William Cooper, Milton William Cooper
Light Technology Publications, 1991
Will you believe??
Interested in conspiracy theories? This book has them all. It's not an easy read, but once you get used to the writers style it becomes easy to go through. There are copies of documents in this book that are questionable, even though they look legitimate. I find it ...

The True Story of the Bilderberg Group
Daniel Estulin
Trine Day, 2007
'The Open Society and its Enemies' revisited
Sir K. Popper has always stressed that general conspiracy- and complot theories were pure imaginations of bogus historians and paralyzed politicians. He also stated that the only justification for taking up arms was to defend democracy.
Well, in this book Daniel ...

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)
Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
I read it, and I liked it
I am surprised at the number of negative reviews on the 12th Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. I enjoyed the book and as most Reacher fans look forward to the next in the series.

The Secret Cardinal
Tom Grace
Vanguard Press, 2007
Enjoyable
"The Secret Cardinal" is an exciting and interesting story that's a definite step up from many of the suspense books out there. The story focuses on two main threads, the first being an attempt to rescue a Chinese bishop from a long incarceration in prison in China and ...

Executive Power
Vince Flynn
Pocket Star, 2004
Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp novels
If you like political intrigue and/or spy novels, I suggest doing yourself a favor and just buy all of Vince Flynn's books now. Start with "Term Limits" and you'll be hooked. "Executive Power" is excellent. But, of course I have followed these characters through the ...

Juggler of Worlds

Tor Books, 2008
For the real fans
After I said in my review of "Fleet of Worlds" that it ". . . begs for a sequel of its own at some point, set in some future when certain constraints established by the other works in the Known Space universe have been removed. It would be interesting to see some of ...
