Its an action book, main character is a Marine, tough bugger too!! Its basically a hollywood blockbuster movie, but as a novel, you can totally imagine watching it in the cinema!!!

If you like action movies/ novels, im implore you to check this one out, its fantastic!!

I just started reading another of Reilly`s books, called *Temple* Starting off slow, but hope it gets better!
i keep meaning to check out his books. i think i still have enough tax return money left over to go buy another batch of books, lol...

I just started reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy....it's very cool. The movie trailer looks like it might just be as cool as the book. You can't beat Viggo.

I just read Dean Koontz' "Intensity".

I needed a book for work, and this was the only one I could find at Wal-mart. Synopsis appeared kinda generic, but it was GREAT. It really explores, in depth, the mind of a sociopathic serial killer. I find that kind of stuff very interesting, as I have a degree in Psychology.

Very good "catch and chase" style book. I actaully got goosebumps a couple times. I don't get that much from reading. If you're into horror novels at all, I highly suggest you give this one a shot.

Nightmares and Dreamscapes is my favorite short stroy collection. I HIGHLY recommend checking out 'Desperation'. My favorite book of all time.
