Into the Storm (The Thunderbird Chronicles #2)

This second installment of the Thunderbirds Chronicles reunites its main characters four months after the first book, Into the Dust, ended. As Augusto trains Janey in transformation, telepathy, and how to draw energy from sacred spots in the desert in order to continue her father’s work, Janey and her family are not only threatened by the gangsters who killed her father, but by secrets her loved ones are concealing. Even as Janey believes she and Augusto are working toward the same goal, she gradually discovers the breach that time travel forms between them, as well as the fact that his goals may not match hers.

I received this ebook free in exchange for an honest review, and I can truly say I found the story gripping — so compelling, in fact, that I can’t wait for the next installment. However, trying to read Into the Storm without having read its predecessor is confusing, so I strongly suggest reading Into the Dust first, which is what I did.

A Red State of Mind: How a Catfish Queen Reject Became a Liberty Belle

Nancy French is one of those right-wing Christian Republicans who thinks she's striking a blow for smart, funny conservatives (yeah, I know, an oxymoron). All she demonstrates is that she's a smug, self-righteous asshat.

Plum Island

Given that Plum Island is an animal disease testing facility for the US government, I expected a cross between Richard Preston and Michael Crichton. The island's actual purpose, however, proves to be a red herring for recuperating NYPD cop John Corey, who struggles to solve the murder of two government biologists by digging through the island's legends & history. Despite the lack of scientific intrigue, DeMille lays out a very human story and leaves the reader satisfied at novel's end.

Beat the Reaper

Not only is Josh Bazell a doctor who can write, but he puts Michael Crichton & Robin Cook to shame with a fast, gripping tale that, in this post-Soprano age, seems all too realistic. Dr. Peter Brown works in the hospital from hell when he runs into an elderly man from his past, and suddenly Pietra Brwna's WITSEC protection is gone. What follows is one of the fastest-paced books ever written. Readers should prepare themselves for high levels of gore and mutilation -- Chuck Palahniuk's Rant is the best comparison -- but just as Pietra Brwna knows how to jerk out a man's throat with his bare hands, Josh Bazell grabs the reader with Peter Brown's tale and doesn't let go until the blood-splattered end.
