Dale Brown's Dreamland: Retribution (Dreamland (Harper Paperback))
Dale Brown, Jim Defelice
Harper, 2007
Futuristic warfare in a hunt for missing nuclear warheads
To say that the "Dreamland Team" is futuristic probably is correct but I am sure that many of the weapons and equipment that are part of this novel do actually exist. This is the sixth Dreamland novel that these two authors have written. If you like military action ...

Retribution
Jilliane Hoffman
Berkley, 2004
Retribution
I really enjoyed this book. It is a page turner if there has ever been on. One positive complaint, too many law enforcement acronyms. Other than that I can only say good things about the book. It's really good!

Between Vengeance and Forgiveness: Facing History after Genocide and Mass Violence
Martha Minow
Beacon Press, 1999
Here is a lady who is not afraid to tackle the big issues.
For anyone interested in international law or human rights, this is a must-read. I am assigning this book to my undergraduates this semester because, although the subject matter is complex, Minow's prose is clean and spare. Minow does a terrific job of summarizing ...

Retribution: A Lew Fonesca Novel (Lew Fonesca)
Stuart M. Kaminsky
Forge Books, 2002
Lean writing and a great mystery that will haunt you
Kaminsky's books always get under my skin, even when I pick them up at the worst times - when I'm half-awake, feeling distracted or just not prepared to lose myself in a good book. Even so, I usually can't put down a Kaminsky novel until the very last page. This time ...

Real heroes
Thank you, Savo, for being brave to share your story with the rest of the world. I was excited knowing the book is coming out, but I was also aware it would face me with my own experiences which I keep locked somewhere deep down in me. But I could not even imagine how ...

Israeli And Palestinian Narratives of Conflict: History's Double Helix (Indiana Series in Middle East Studies)
Indiana University Press, 2006
It's hard to hear the other side
This is a very useful book for anyone who wants to understand the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Each side tells the story in a way that blends fact, emotion, and a particular point of view. It's hard to build relationships with others when we don't have ...

Retribution (City of God Series #3)
Randall Ingermanson
Zondervan, 2004
I couldn't have been more impressed
It's been a few weeks since I finished this book but the message still sticks in my brain. Randy did an incredible job researching the history and comprised a gripping story that glues you to each page. The plot is so intense and twisting that there's no way of knowing ...

The Politics of Retribution in Europe
Princeton University Press, 2000
Intriguing Exploration Of European Retribution After WW II!
It's an old and acknowledged saw that "to the victors go the spoils". What should be added to this splendidly commonplace bit of street lore is the similarly well-acknowledged fact that it is indeed the victors who get to write and thereby promulgate the official ...

Jody Offen
PublishAmerica, 2005
To Love A Vampire
Jody Offen did an awesome job on this, her second book in the Guardian Of The Night series. Her first book, Garden Of Stones, from the same publisher is exciting and a fresh way of viewing vampire romance. My suggestion is read them both and then wait anxiously for ...
