PKFanThe John Wells series by Alex Berenson. It fills the gap until the next Gabriel Allon book comes out.

JSWHere are two great books that I recently finished. If you’re looking for a good zombie book I recommend
Zombie Road: Convoy of Carnage by David A. Simpson. If something historical is what you are looking for
90 Minutes at Entebbe by William Stevenson is a great one.

henryaz To fill in, I've been working my way chronologically through Joseph Finder's works. They are very good action novels.
After being on the waiting list at my library, I finally got Mark Greaney's latest,
Relentless, Gray Man book #10. Will be starting that this coming week.

TMatsCatching up on some of the classics this year. Already finished “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey,” now working on “Don Quixote.” In between some recreational reading as well. Read Matthew McConaughey’s memoir “Greenlights,” which I’ll describe as “interesting,” but not much more than that.

ggileSince there has been a lot of discussion about Amazon's production of 'Without Remorse' I decided to pull the book down off the bookshelf, blow the dust off and reread it rather than watch the movie version.
