I've read the series three times as well. Great stuff.

Just finished "Enemy at the Gates", by Kyle Mills, the latest in the Mitch Rapp series. It was okay. I miss Vince Flynn's writing of the series.

I’ve been on a John Sanford kick again lately and found time to get into the last couple “prey” series that I haven’t had time to catch up on.

Just getting into the 4th Jack Carr book, “The Devil’s Hand”. While the first 3 were good, I can see that Carr is growing as a writer. He’s no Tom Clancy yet, but he’s doing well for an ex-SEAL. Prior to Carr, I read through the Mark Greeny “Gray Man” books. All good reads.

Just finished "Concrete Blonde" by Michael Connelly. Bosch series # 3

Prob going to start John D. McDonald's Travis McGee series (will be third or fourth time reading them).

Signal Hill Warrior.

It was recently written/published by my former manager and friend, Capt. Charles M. Hemcher USMC (Ret.)

Just came yesterday and it looks like a quick read. Going to dive into it tonight.

FYI-I have no skin in the game on this, other than my respect for him from working as a direct report to him.

I finished "Bad Blood" just before Elizabeth Holmes's trial began. What a story!!

Midway through Vince Flynn's, Mitch Rapp second book of the series. He did a good job on the first two. Very enjoyable reads so far.

The Information by James Gleick, a survey of how man's understanding of information and communication technology has evolved over time starting with African talking drums up to and including modern quantum information theory. Maybe not for everybody, but a fascinating read for us nerds. I'd consider it a must read for anyone who has interest in cryptography and/or communications.

I just finished Werewolf by David Hedges. It's the autobiographical story of his law enforcement K9 days. If one has an interest in what street cops see/do and in particular, with a K9, this is the book for them.

Jack Carr’s The Devil’s Hand, and Savage Son.

Ex-SEAL, clandestine stuff.
