Books!

Sorry, silly title, but I had a question. I watched a documentary on private security not too long ago and they featured author Brad Thor on there and spoke about the controversy he started with his book "The Last Patriot"- Glenn Beck said he might become targeted by Muslim extremists and the book has been banned in Saudi Arabia. Well I want to read his books now since the reviews have come back so great. Book one is called "The Lions of Lucerne" and they're similar to other favorite authors of mine like Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy. Question is: Has anyone read "Lions" and if so what did you think?
We should make this a sticky and talk about our favorite fiction...

I have picked up a few of his books but just could not get into them.

How come? Have you read Vince Flynn? And I read some of the W.E.B. Griffin "Presidential Agent" series, wow! Loved them, but just haven't had a whole lot of time to get into reading until recently and want to check out Thor.

I have read all but his latest book... I enjoyed them all.
Lions is a great read...
Vince Flynn is good also.

All of those above are on my list but I am working on The Stand now. And not just the regular version but the extended version in which King added back 500 pages of story removed from the original...this one will take me a while. Good read though...

Others read in the last few months...

Bravo Two Zero
Last Light (terrible book)
Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse
Lights Out
Starship Troopers
One Second After
The Overton Window
World War Z

Can you see a theme (besides Bravo Two Zero and Starship Troopers)?

You have a room in your house that is locked and says "Do not open until SHTF"?
Good luck with The Stand, I've heard that's a good one, but takes a large chunk of time to complete.

Not yet but in process...

I'm a big Vince Flynn fan, but now I want to try the books you mentioned Ronin.

I got it on my Kindle which doesn't have page numbers so I really didn't know how long it was. Shit, just looked it up and it's about 1500 pages...

Got rid of all my King books after I heard him spew his lib rants.
