Pillar to the Sky by William Forstchen

Same author as One Second After


The Wright Brothers by David McCullough

At this point in my career, the only good thing I can say about travel is the ability to read or listen to a book. These were both good books and make a nice bookend, one fiction, the other biography non-fiction. Both involve inovation of new technology that most believed improbable. Any advancement requires risk and often results in death before success. Imagine a world where Lt. Thomas Selfridge did not die but the US government did not buy a Wright flyer.

The Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher. Be warned - I have been accused of peddling literary crack by people who have listened to me and read them.

To Try Men's Souls: A Novel of George Washington and the Fight for American Freedom
by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen

This was an excellent read and helped remind me that regardless of how dark the future may look, We as Americans have overcome great adversity in the past. I need to keep in mind that there are still patriots of great courage in this country and if well lead, We are still capable of greatness.

God Bless the Republic!

Am currently working on book 4 of Freehold series.

Blacklabel, prophecy came true, sucked in by freebie and had to buy the rest. All worth reading again.

Read "Freehold", "Weapon", "Better to Ask Forgiveness" and just finished "Contact with Chaos" in this order, I don't know if this was the intended chronological order. I got hooked the same way...... "Rogue" is next for me.

Wild at Heart, Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul. by John Eldredge. Trying to put into perspective what it is to be a man especially in today's world.

Finished Freehold book 4 recently and book 8 of Boyd Craven "The World Burns" series (@ $1.99, still alot of dime store novels out there) this afternoon.

IMO, most series turn downhill around the 4 book mark.

Am undecided about the Freehold series. Books 1&2 were pretty good but it took me alot longer to figure out and identify with the "hero" in books 3&4. Pretty much same with "antagonist".
