Rock Solid Spy Fun!

American Assassin by Vince Flynn
A few months ago I was at my local Drug Store waiting for a prescription, when I randomly started picking up paperback novels from the display rack. I decided to read the first sentence of each novel to see who had the best opening line and cared the most about grabbing readers and not letting go. To my surprise, I read twelve top bestselling mass market paperbacks before I hit lucky thirteen, 'The Last Man by Vince Flynn'. Wow talk about a great first sentence. I looked him up and started with his first in the series, 'American Assassin', It is an amazing novel Mr. Flynn introduces the reader to the beginning story of the New York Times Bestselling series about Mitch Rapp and it blew me away. This is a total standout and although critics complained about typos ruining it for them, I enjoyed this rock solid spy action adventure. I read it in a few days and couldn't put it down. No spoilers from me... I didn't know anything about it, but it has all of my favorite elements for a fast gritty story line. Get it now and find out why Vince Flynn has sold millions of books.

Spy, Sci-Fi and Thriller too… Awesome Page-Turner!

Connect: The Call by Michelle Medhat
Michelle Medhat takes on and pulls off a Herculean feat by seamlessly merging Espionage, Science Fiction and Thriller genres. I had no idea at the beginning that this husband and wife team that started out having a normal morning would end up fighting terrorists. Very unlikeable and nasty terrorist have a new weapon in Nano Technology and their victims will never see it coming. Mysterious, gruesome with an exciting mix of events makes for a wild ride well worth the trip. Don't miss this well crafted and fantastic debut novel in The Connected series. I already have book two 'The Shift' on my reading list.
