Story4 out of 5 stars 2,540
Two blood-spattered strangers awake, locked in the trunk of a car - with a murdered cop and the smoking gun. Aside from raging headaches and no idea what's happened, they appear to have nothing in common. Troy thinks it's 2001 and he's still a combat surgeon fighting terrorists in Afghanistan. Emmy believes it's 2002 and she's still grifting a living from the streets of L.A.

Broken up dialogue smart comments that were more like a teenager than adult. Dick Hill was not at his best. Hadn’t read Tigner before and probably will leave him to his fans.

On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.

Soldier of Fortune meets ideal Seal
Reviewed: 05-20-18
This is a story for Soldier of Fortune readers, conspiracy believers, those who believe that Liberals are what’s wrong with our country and for weapons enthusiasts. If you are not in one of those categories you will waste your time or if you are like me listen to the entire reading sadly thinking there are folk for whom this book would appeal. A limited number I hope!

Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coast hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi, after high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back. Not once. Not until the unimaginable occurs. Unlike the missions Robie undertook in the service of his country, where his target was clearly defined, digging into his father's case only reveals more questions. Robie is drawn into the hidden underside of Cantrell, where he must face the unexpected and possibly deadly consequences of the long-ago choices made by father and son.

A torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isn’t easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction. So with detective constables McCrabban and McBride, he goes to work identifying the victim. The torso turns out to be all that’s left of an American tourist who once served in the U.S. military. What was he doing in Northern Ireland in the midst of the 1982 Troubles?

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

A moving story of the south in the 60's from the viewpoint of "The Help", black maids who serve in the homes of the middle and upper class whites in Jackson, Mississippi.This was an emotional story for one such as myself who grew up in Virginia and had a "colored" maid serving in our home.The readers are excellent.This is a book not to be missed .

Dave Robicheaux returns in another Bayou adventure, this one more gruesome and gut-wrenching than any that have come before. Hurricane Katrina has ravaged New Orleans, leaving the streets and buildings flooded and the city awash with opportunists, looters, and vicious criminals. There is no order, no law. Police are shooting randomly at innocent people, prison guards have abandoned their posts, and bodies float through the streets and hang from trees.

Wow! Terrific story and the reader is wonderful. Being in NO after Katrina the images were vivid and often I recalled my own visions of the 9th ward. Story line holds attention and one finds oneself concerned for characters and their ultimate end.

"If Robert Littell didn't invent the American spy novel," says Tom Clancy, "he should have." In this spectacular Cold-War-as-Alice-in-Wonderland epic, Littell, "the American le Carre," takes us down the rabbit hole and into the labyrinthine world of espionage that has been the CIA for the last half-century. "Ostensibly a single novel, The Company can also be listened to as an anthology of cracking good spy stories," says ( Publishers Weekly).

Wow... I had my doubts. The length was almost a put off BUT what a terrific listen! The story captures many crisis that my 65 years remembers. The reader maintains the intrigue and does a marvelous job with many voices and languages. This is a spy novel that rivals LaCurre.
