Hostage

Hostage to the Devil: The Possession and Exorcism of Five Contemporary Americans

Malachi Martin

HarperOne, 1992

Made me more repentant for my sins
Praise Jesus!!!! This book seriously made me shiver but I got two very important things out of it: 1.) a new respect for the exorcists who risk their own lives to help the victims of possession; 2.) an urgency to remain in God's grace and avoid sinning as best as I ...

Hostage: A Novel

Robert Crais

Fawcett, 2002

Wow! (A review of the audiobook)
I must be out of the loop - I am a Crais fan but have never seen this book before nor have I seen the movie that other reviewer referred to. Nevertheless, despite my previous ignorance I found this book to be thoroughly enjoyable. More than that, I found it to be ...

Guests of the Ayatollah: The Iran Hostage Crisis: The First Battle in America's War with Militant Islam

Mark Bowden

Grove Press, 2007

Bowden Delivers a Masterpiece
Guests of the Ayatollah presents the extensively researched, impelling non-fiction style for which Bowden has become widely acclaimed through his other best sellers. As someone who has read other Bowden books, I felt Guests of the Ayatollah is his best book to date. ...

Transfer Of Power (Mitch Rapp Novels)

Vince Flynn

Pocket Books, 1999

Enjoyable read
Vince Flynn has certainly done his homework. I enjoy all of his books, great character development, realistic. Highly recommended if you like intrigue, and difficult to put down once you get started!

Hostage to Pleasure (Psy-Changelings, Book 5)

Nalini Singh

Berkley, 2008

This series rocks
Finally we get the long awaited story of Dorian Christensen, the Dark River Leopard, whose only flaw is that he can't shift to a cat. Due to the inner conflict after his sister's violent murder, everyone is worried about him. He despises the Psy, but when Ashaya ...

News of a Kidnapping (Vintage International)

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Vintage, 2008

Well documented, well translated
This is my first attempt at GGM's work. The author's writing style is very different in accounting the events happened during that kidnap saga. As he explains the events unfolding, he carefully adds the background information of the appropriate character(s) involved ...

The Negotiator (The O'Malley Series #1)

Dee Henderson

Tyndale House Publishers, 2005

love this series
I love reading mystery and suspense and have never read a Christian writer before... I must say that this is one of the better series that I have read. I could not put the book down until it was finished and then read each of the O'Malley books every night thereafter!

Amber Morn (Kanner Lake Series #4)

Brandilyn Collins

Zondervan, 2008

the last in a thrilling series!
Amber Morn is the final book in the Kanner Lake series by Collins. The story is gripping, perhaps more so because I have read the first three books in the series, Violet Dawn, Coral Moon, and Crimson Eve. By now, I feel like I "know" the characters. I found ...

Word of Honor (Newpointe 911 Series #3)

Terri Blackstock

Zondervan, 1999

Proof that Terri Blackstock knows her stuff!
I would have to say that Terri Blackstock has shown her abilities as a writer once again in this book. She has demonstrated an absolutely excellent writing ability when it comes to this whole series! I greatly enjoyed "Word of Honor," and some of the themes of a ...

The Hostage Bride

Jane Feather

Bantam, 1998

loved it
i loved this book it had alot of elements that make up my kind of book. i mean Portia was not classically beautiful but had fire in her which made for great dialogue between her and the mischievious Rufus, i think miss Feather did a good job on this one.

Bullets, Bombs, and Fast Talk: Twenty-Five Years of FBI War Stories

James Botting

Potomac Books Inc., 2008

Great Read
Full disclosure...I was an FBI agent and worked in the L.A. office when Jim Botting was also assigned there. We knew each other but never worked together. He was known as a great agent and I now I know he is a great writer. BULLETS, BOMBS and FAST TALK is a ...

Bel Canto

Ann Patchett

Harper Perennial, 2002

A Song of Love
As winner of the PEN/Faulkner award, Ann Patchett's Bel Canto possesses beauty, lyricism, and elegance. From the first page, the author commanded my attention and held my interest. The plot wasn't one that enthralled me as I read the back cover of the book; yet, I ...

The Four Adventures of Richard Hannay: The Thirty-Nine Steps/Greenmantle/Mr. Standfast/the Three Hostages

John Buchan

David R Godine, 1994

Classic adventure yarns
As my title says, the Four Adventures are real classics that spawned a whole library of imitators. Written as they were during the First World War and immediate post-war period by someone who both hob-nobbed with the political movers and shakers of the time & may have ...
