Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker
Thomas Nelson, 2006
Great Book!
This book is a great one!!! It was my first book by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti. It was full of action, suspense, and adventure that kept me glued to the book the whole time I was reading it. I especially enjoyed the ending of the book! I TOTALLY reccomend this book for Ted Dekker or Frank Peretti ...

The Bourne Ultimatum (Bourne Trilogy, Book 3)
Robert Ludlum
Bantam, 1991
Great plots!
I was first introduced to Jason Bourne via the movies, but happened across the Bourne Ultimatum and fell inlove with the book which was my first Ludlum. I like the various plots and it actually made me wish that the movies had followed the books much closer. Having said that, the movies were quite ...

The Andromeda Strain
Arthur Hill, David Wayne
Universal Studios, 2003
Sci Fi at its Best
+ Good Movie
+ The original outdoes the new version
Made in the 70's, this movie still has the suspense and good acting as it did when it was first released. Moreover, the film does a masterful job of staying close to the book. Indeed, having read the book, I feel I can make this statement with a clear conscience. Whether the newer made for TV ...

The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town
John Grisham
Doubleday, 2006
Well researched documentation - remarkably written!
+ The worst of times
This real-life story is very emotional, rousing and compelling and in my opinion also very exciting. Even if you know the outcome already and the writing style isn't out for suspense. The nonfictional narration is constructed as a history of a criminal case and less intended as a thriller. In the ...

The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Anchor, 2006
Elitist Criticism Aside, It's Genius
+ Dan Brown
+ Hard to put down.
Loathed by elitist literary critics, wannabe highbrows and religious conservatives, The Da Vinci Code is by any measure a work of genius. To dismiss it as pop drivel is to overlook the fact that countless writers are striving to produce catchy pulp fiction that will propel them to stardom and ...

Invasion! (Warhammer)
Mike Lee, Nathan Long, ...
Games Workshop, 2007
Excellent Short Story Collection
This is an excellent collection of Warhammer short stories.
The first (None So Blind) & last (Perilous Visions) stories deal with the same events from opposite viewpoints and are fascinating look at the High-Dark Elf conflict.
The remaining vary from (relatively) simple stories of physical ...

The Last Templar
Raymond Khoury
Dutton Adult, 2006
Waaaiiiit a Minute People....!!!!!!
Sheesh!!!! What did you expect??? This is a summer beach read potboiler---and for that purpose it's perfect! This is not high literature. If you enjoyed Dan Brown, you'll enjoy this. If you are into Templars and the Gnostic Gospels, you'll enjoy it even more. Sure, it has the typical cardboard ...

Grail Conspiracy: A Cotten Stone Mystery
Lynn Sholes, Joe Moore
MIDNIGHT INK, 2005
This is not a DaVinci clone.
+ Do not compare this to the Da Vinci Code!!!
+ I enjoyed this Christian Fanstasy very much
This is not Da Vinci. It's not any less than Da Vinci either in it's plot and scope . I have become addicted to these historical/religious thrillers that have a central premise built around the Bible, Christ, the Holy Grail, Knights Templar, Virgin Mary, the possible bloodline of Jesus etc. In this ...
