I recently finished three of the four "science of discworld" compendiums and the Tiffany Aching discworld novels from Terry Pratchett...

I really like the Nac Mac Feegle or The Wee Free Men. It's ashame that Pratchett has passed away. Discworld is an amazing literary universe.

I'm currently reading Robert Crais's novel, The Promise. It brings together Crais's team of private detective Elvis Cole and Joe Pike with characters from his previous book, Suspect, K9 officer Scott James and his jarhead war dog, Maggie. Great page turner story and superb writing--I should finish today. If you like detective mysteries I highly recommend Robert Crais' books. I've read them all.

If you're a dog person you should first read Suspect, then The Promise. You can thank me later.

Read that over a month ago.

Sorry, I meant the paperback was just released. I didn't want the Kindle or hardcopy edition...

Finished Stephen Coonts "Flight of the Intruder" recently. Enjoyed it, nice change from all the low quality freebie post apocalyptic novels I read. Will probably try out a few more Coonts offerings.

Going to try Hummers recommendation on Robert Crais first.

I'm reading "Command and Control" about the growth of the nuclear arsenal, the strategic plans for their use and the many, many mistakes made in handling them. Based on the stories in the book, its amazing to me that we've never had an AD of a nuke...yet.

That sounds pretty interesting. There was a documentary I saw a few years back about how Pakistan got nuclear capabilities. It was pretty scary, considering how much former Russian scientists had a hand in it.

I'm almost finished reading "The War on Cops" by Heather MacDonald... Really great read! I highly recommend. Now if I can finish "Inferno" by Dan Brown before the film comes out.

Any Mark Goodwin fans?

Very thought provoking author for some folks.

Been reading the "Hell's Gate" series by David Weber, and the most recent Safehold series book. Hope there's another Safehold book coming to wrap up the aftermath - rather abrupt end after nine damn books...

Also the latest emberverse book, "Prince of Outcasts".
