Most recent of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels I listened to was Make Me.
Mothers Rest, the town, really is disturbing. It sure puts a double meaning to the term Dark Web

Just finished “Eight Lives Down” by Major Chris Hunter. Excellent read about his tour in Iraq as EOD.

Well, almost six years later... I finally finished it [ROFL1]. I would start it and stop reading for a couple of weeks and have to start over. My GF and I were talking one night and she reminded about audio books. I looked it up on amazon and there it was, narrated by Dave himself. I started it about a month or so ago and finished just now (18 hours 44 minutes long). I would mostly listen to it whenever I was driving. Really, really, beneficial book. I am looking forward to finding more audio books now that I have found a way that I can enjoy them.

Just finished the second book in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series, Fools Moon. Fun read if you enjoy a twist on detective noir novels like the stuff by Dashiell Hammett.

Sticking with my penchant for dystopia stories, last week I finished reading Founders - A Novel Of The Coming Collapse by James Wesley Rawles.

The premise of this story is a total collapse of American society, not by EMP but by economic collapse. The story follows several individuals located in various parts of the nation and how they survive The book has a heavy religious/Christian theme to it, but as a Christian myself, I didn't find it too distracting.

As with any of the dystopia books I read I need to sit down and go back through a few parts and make notes for myself (ideas for bug out bag contents and lessons learned sort of thing).

Just finished William Forstchen’s “The Final Day” third in the “One Second After” series.

Started Dan Brown’s “Origin”.

Recently read "The Moat in God's Eye" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournell. Reading The Gripping Hand now.

I've read and re-read that series (many books!) and they just get better and better.

Just starting “The Terminal List”, by Jack Carr. It’s a fictional novel, written by a former SEAL, about a SEAL who unleashes vengeance after ending up on the short end of a government conspiracy. It’s the guy’s first book, pretty good so far. It’s nice to read something in which the info about firearms and shooting seems accurate.
