The Unlikely Spy
Daniel Silva
Signet, 2003
Silva is taking a month out of my life!
I stumbled across "Mark of the Assassin" a couple weeks ago. Upon completion, I purchased every available novel written by Silva.
"The Unlikely Spy" is more complicated than most thrillers. It is also not as polished as his later novels. It does clearly show a ...

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Sanction
Eric Van Lustbader
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
This is the best of the Lustbader-Bourne novels to date...
Since Mr. Van Lustbader isn't trying to re-invent the wheel here (and let's face it: he'd be stupid to even try), he has taken on quite a daunting task of picking up where Ludlum left off with his most beloved character: Jason Bourne/David Webb. The Bourne Legacy was ...

I absolutely Love the secret. I have the book, the audio and the DVD! The Secret was put together so well. I have always known about the law of attraction but after "The Secret" my life has completely changed.

Moscow Rules
Daniel Silva
Putnam Adult, 2008
VINTAGE SILVA/ALLON
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, as I have all the other works of Silva. His books are always fast paced, exciting and with a "can't put it down" quality. It was good for him to tackle another world problem we have today as far as hi-tech arms dealing and arming ...

Brad Thor's character, Scot Harvath, is a great hero. The book is a great, fast-paced read. I enjoy that Brad Thor does a lot of research on his books. It is a great thriller!

The Kill Artist
Daniel Silva
Signet, 2004
The Artist Here is Silva
Silva writes a past-paced, ferocious opening to his Gabriel Allon series of books with this excellent thriller. He goes a step beyond other thriller writers -- including Le Carre -- with compelling action and authentic characters. He paints his assassins as humans ...

Blowback: A Thriller
Brad Thor
Pocket, 2006
Ingenious plot
Having read several of Thor's novels, I think this is his best one to date (May 2008). The back drop for the story is Hannibal's crossing the Alps to attack the Roman Empire, and a book called the Arthashastra (which is actually a 15 volume Indian treaties on ...

The Bourne Identity (Bourne Trilogy, Book 1)
Robert Ludlum
Bantam, 1984
Wow - blows the movie right out of the water!
I first read this book 4 years before the movies started coming out, and it blew me out of the water. Wow. I read spy/action books all the time, and this was amazing. James Bond is the classy blue-blooded spy - he wouldn't stand a chance going through what Bourne did ...

Spook Country
William Gibson
Berkley Trade, 2008
Brilliant, but not perfect
The good: This book has some brilliant characters which ultimately intertwine around a caper based climax at the end. The writing is clever and a joy to read, and paints a very realistic and plausible world, once you get past the first chapter, which was like another ...

Stalin's Ghost: An Arkady Renko Novel

Remarkably good at details of Russian life
Martin Cruz Smith wrote a few detective novels taking place in Russia. His knowledge of Russia is intimate and he knows things about the country that are inaccessible to academic researchers.
Stalin's Ghost is a good story with detective Renko solving a very ...
