Rarely does a writer create a world that I am easily pulled into, But Eric Brown is one such writer.  His latest book, Bigfoot War 3: Food Chain, is a fantastic continuation in the trilogy.  Bringing us once again into the edge of your seat post-apocalyptic world of zombies and rampant Bigfoot tribes.

Mere glowing reviews won't do this book justice, you must experience this read for yourself.  Brown has vaulted into top tier authoring with his unique style and subject matter.  This book is THE masterpiece Eric Brown was destined to write.

Pure genius is a term often over used to describe books of this caliber, but in this case, it just might be the perfect description.  Just stop reading the reviews and download it now!  You can Thank me later :)

Bad Times is a superb action time travel series and Chuck Dixon just keeps the stories coming and the body count multiplying in Book 4! I've enjoyed every single one of these books so far but this story, where the Rangers roll back to where it all began in prehistoric times to rescue their comrade, is a *serious* page turner! I felt I was actually back there amongst the massive beasts of the day (altho there are some adorable little animals as well) including vicious beavers and sabretooths! But the most vicious species back there is humanoid and the Rangers pay them back with Justice and extreme firepower. The chemistry is fantastic amongst the Rangers, I really dig the recent additions such as Bat, an Israeli soldier and Bruce the Macedonian is awesome and an absolute legend. Chuck Dixon knows how to deliver a dramatic ending and this one is epic and extremely tense as the Rangers are pushed to the limit. Throw in shadowy moves in the present and some tense, exciting subplots and you have my favorite of Chuck's many awesome books! 5 stars!!! Can't wait to start book 5!

Eric Brown, author of the Big Foot War books, comes back with another great little tale about mutants, monsters, and organized crime in a post apocalyptic world.  Though the story is titled with the name of one of the best "hitman/sociopaths" in some time, the tale is actually a tale filled with a very large ensemble cast.  In an apocalyptic world where a second apocalypse is about to happen, organized crime bosses toil and argue with each other though aware of the coming doom.  Monsters, entitled the Weepers, are spreading throughout the farmlands where refugees (told through the eyes of one woman named Sheila) flee to the "big city".

Jack, a mutant and hitman, hires himself out to the various mob bosses while avoiding a black-op cyberpunk organization that seems to rule everyone and wants revenge on him for a previous misdeed.  As the weepers head to the walls of the city, Jack is determined to flee the city and somehow escape with his life.  As the various organized crime groups weigh their options and try to make alliances between each other and in some cases with Jack, the story evolves into a violent and over the top action story that could easily make a fantastic graphic novel.

Eric Brown once again hits a home run with this 50+ page novella.  A perfect one sitting read that will most certainly be a one sitting since once you start, you won't be able to put it down until you hit the brilliant ending.

High recommend.

Waterkill Dave Henson Series Bk 0 by Mark Donovan Review

A Yemenis man tragically loses his family, a plane disappears into the Alaskan bush carrying a secret, and thousands suddenly die in a German town. Dave Henson is tapped by the U.S. government to help solve the related mysteries but finds himself drawn in deeper when his wife goes missing. With the mysterious outbreak of a deadly disease in a Yemeni village, followed by an increase in terrorist chatter after the crash of a small airplane in eastern Alaska, CEO Dr. Dave Henson and colleague Ron Blackwell of NSurv Inc. are tapped by the Department of Homeland Security to locate the aircraft wreckage and its suspected deadly contents.  While Henson and Blackwell are in the eastern mountains of Alaska helping the U.S. Border Patrol locate the missing aircraft and its contents, Daves wife, internationally known journalist Dana Cogswell, goes missing while covering another sudden and suspicious epidemic in a small town in Germany.  Dave races from Alaska to Germany to rescue Dana and ends up on a quest to the Middle East to find her. Along the way, he learns of a shocking betrayal of friendship and that the path to Dana ultimately leads to the terrorist leader behind the deadly outbreaks. Waterkill Weaves Cult Religious Fanaticism and Bioterrorism into a Major Threat to Western Civilization

What did I like?  This one hits a little close to home, what with the bombing in New York this past week.  Waterkill is the first book of Marks that I have read but you can be sure that he will be added to my favorite author list.  I have been so fortunate to be able to screen the books that I accept for reviews and 98% of those books have all been awesome and this one leaps to the head of the class.  So believable that it is really scary and makes me not want to think about what can be done to anyone of us.  As this is a prime example of what the terrorists that believe that we are the enemy and want to wipe us from the face of the earth could possibly come up with!  We need to have men out there like Dave Henson and his group of special people to give us the chance to survive.

What will you like?  Setting aside the scare of the storyline, the scientific side is so credible, the authentic feel to the locations, the riveting action, the ideological hatred of Islamic jihadists, the political correctness, action-packed government/military scenarios, and the real thoughts to wake up Americans make this a suspenseful read.  Even though the storyline takes this to a personal vendetta for the jihadists the hatred is real and if we don't get our Leaders to take threats like this seriously the world is dire straits.  I am definitely looking forward to the next Dave Henson adventure.  .  I received this from the author for an honest review with no other compensation.

I have thoroughly enjoyed each Shane Brown novel as well as his short story anthology and MELT is as good or better than all of them. Brown's novels are always page turners with non-stop action. This tale is unique in many ways.  A number of strangers are kidnapped and forced to participate in what might be a deadly experiment or possibly just retribution for their past actions.  They don't know why they've been abducted, or by whom, and neither do we. There's no logical reason for their ordeal and how is it that their captors know deeply hidden secrets about each captive? In typical Shane Brown style people will die - sometimes quickly, always violently and at times in the most imaginative ways. And along the way the author develops the characters well and ultimately provides a well-written ending that offers a cogent, realistic (though scary) explanation for what has occurred. And kudos to Brown for creating a quality novel that (with minor exceptions) takes place in one room. That cannot be an easy thing for any author to pull off successfully.

So many novels these days seem to be new spins on an old story but I cannot think of a similar plot to this one.  So if you like action novels, read this book!  If you like psychological thrillers, read this book! Like me I believe you will enjoy every minute of it.

Yet again, another great read from Dr Bradley! And, as the author points out in his recent booklet on Ebola Preparedness, while the story is fiction, there are a number of good "real world" tips which are easily absorbed.  Some events in the story got me thinking about how prepared (or un-prepared!) I was for events that could happen.
I had been eagerly awaiting "Madness Rules", and bought another post-apocalyptic novel by a different author, and was part way through it when my electronic copy of Dr Bradley's book arrived.  Madness Rules was read from cover to cover in a couple of days, and the book by the other author remains unfinished ... Enough said!
Keep up the good work, Arthur! The plot is developing very nicely, and your writing style is very easyto read.

I've read a number of Eric S. Brown books and this one is one of my favorite. It's based on the movie of the same name, but I haven't seen it so this review is solely based on the book.

Boggy Creek: The Legend is True was a really, really fun, action-packed read with a good story and fleshed-out characters. If you like Mr. Brown's work then I need not say any more, but then again I do. With this book, things stay a little more "even-keeled." This is more of a pure-horror book, dealing with the Bigfoot. Mr. Brown has become a Bigfoot master, writing about them, mixing genres with them, and creating some truly new and terrifying tales. Boggy Creek is more for the horror fan. There is no sci fi here or "new" twist which many of his readers have come to expect. I believe this is one of Mr. Brown's finest works. From the beginning to the end, it delivers on all aspects, but most of all it's a backwoods scare-fest that I just couldn't put down until I finished it. And if you think you've plenty of "Bigfoot stories" then think again. This one is different in tone and feel. Like I said, more for the horror purest! I highly recommend this one whether you've read Bigfoot before or not.

This is the fourth book in the Culinary Competition series. You don't have to read the three previous books but, if you're like me (a bit OCD...lol) , you will want to.
I don't want to give away the plot so I'll leave that up to other reviewers. Just know that I found this to be the most entertaining of the series, to date, and I can't wait the the next book in this fun series.
A great surprise at the end of the book....BROWNIE recipes and who doesn't LOVE brownies!

The third book in the Black Market DNA series... and I hated to see it end! This is another excellent book by Anthony J Melchiorri - and it was hard to put down once again! In "Variant" we see Chris delving deeper in a conspiracy which even leads to Korea! In the meantime, Ana and Robin have their hands full trying to make sense of the situation and trying to stay alive as well.

The characters have grown and are like old friends at this point. The story is beautifully written and keeps you on the edge of your seat with the action. We are in a future where technology surrounds every aspect of our lives, and there are people out to use and abuse this technology for ever greater profit - at the expense of mothers and their newborns... The ethics questions are still there and the possible answers can be frightening. At the center, we have our heroes who are so very human yet have the strength to live up to their convictions and do what is right no matter the cost to themselves... These are the reasons I love this book as we find out more about the ongoing conspiracy that hounds Chris from the beginning of the series. Again, this is a great book to read even if you haven't read the previous two books in the series as the author fills you in with the details you need from the "past" to keep you speeding towards the conclusion! The story keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen next... If you like real heroes, action, intrigue, conspiracy, science and advanced tech... you will enjoy this book!

The thrill and adventure of the Area 51 series shows no sign of diminishing in this third novel; so far, this series seems to get even better with each new entry.  That's easier said than done; already the author has thrown together strands of a diverse set of conspiracy theories, touching on the Egyptian Pyramids and ancient sites in MesoAmerica and China, the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Thule, ancient astronauts, life on Mars, an alien invasion, Majestic 12 and other secret government agencies, Nazi scientists, secret alien bases in the world's most inhospitable locations, etc.  The good guys, whose numbers are dwindling with each book, have exposed the secrets of Majestic 12, shuttled all over the planet trying to locate and stabilize ancient alien command centers, and destroyed an alien fleet coming to attack earth.  After basically one day of rest, the situation becomes even more dire and more complicated.  Whole tribes of villagers are dying en masse in the Amazon River basin.  With the help of a Russian operative, presidential scientific advisor Lisa Duncan, Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte, and their allies at Area 51 (strangely running the whole show with virtually no government intervention of any kind) discover that the alien enemies have now unleashed the Black Death (a souped-up bubonic plague with a 100% kill rate) against the population of earth, planning to rescue a few humans who will do their bidding and return them to earth when the rest of the population has died.  In their race to stop the further spread of the virus and to hopefully find a cure or antidote, they are aided as well as stymied and confused by strange individuals of unknown origin as well as unknown loyalties.  This novel leaves many questions unanswered, which only further heightens my desire to pick up the fourth book immediately.
In this novel, the story is a little more streamlined, as a large part of the action takes place in the Amazon jungles and underneath an ancient Chinese tomb.  Turcotte has to find the source of the virus in order to identify it, and eventually he (and the world) finds himself in a race to find the Mission--the enemy's hidden bioweapons factory--and a cure for the Black Death.  Other exciting things happen--e.g., a nuclear explosion, a dangerous attempt to link up two space shuttles with the hulk of the alien mothership in orbit.  Enough complexities and twists are injected into the plot to keep it exciting and compelling yet not overly complicated.  The characters aren't very deep, and their personal interactions outside of the job at hand are a little contrived, but the story itself is more than sufficient to maintain the reader's attention and deep interest at all times.

Like his first two books, 'Kill Decision' is a non-stop edge-of-your-seat thrill jam. Suarez's grasp of bleeding-edge technology and modern warfare coupled with his ability to develop likable (and despicable) characters gives the reader a great read. His story development and his ability to shock and surprise the reader often comes into play. Our story begins with a series of mysterious airborne drone attacks that appear to be the work of the US military - except the US military has no knowledge of the attacks. The attacks soon become very menacing: swarming autonomous drones that communicate with one another to coordinate their attacks - a frightening development that involves a young scientist who studies the habits of Weaver ants. A group of Special Operations warriors - along with a handful of 'volunteers' - combine forces in an effort to learn who is behind these attacks, and to stop them. They are stymied at every turn and the mystery deepens as they try to figure out how their enemy seems to know their every step in advance. I look forward to Suarez's next book - hope my wait is a short one. This guy is one of the top techno-thriller authors out there. 'Kill Decision' would make one hell of a film. I hope Hollywood is paying attention.

A Noble Cause was an improvement over Greg's first book  Final Price as was Legacy of the Dragon over the previous novels.  I enjoyed all of them but this book was even better.  J. Gregory Smith is going to be a smashing success!

Burly Paul Chang and his quirky sidekick Nelson are back.  This story is one of international terrorism, stalking and political intrigue.

Chang is still recovering from injuries from the previous story.  He is a complex character who is constantly battling his internal dragon.  Nelson's character of the consummate nerd is equally likeable.  You find yourself seeing these two in people you know.  Greg does a great job with his characterizations.

I found the story more colorful and delightfully complex with a cynical view of politicians and their overwhelming personal conceit.  Max as a villain was just about perfect.  The circus connection provided abundant color and sly humor.

A good story, lots of action, likeable characters, what's not to like?  Oh, and lest I forget, a terrific cover!  My only criticism of the book is lack of a sufficient back story.  I have read all of the books and thus had no issues but a reader new to the series may stumble a bit.

J. Greg Smith is on track to be the next Lee Child.  Perhaps we could get Jack Reacher to meet Paul Chang, there would be some serious action in that meeting.  Greg, how about Unleash The Dragon?

I highly recommend this book!

OK, the third book in the series and another great read but this one went by at break neck speed hardly letting the reader catch his breath until the end when you're left with your mouth hanging open and your finger poking your kindle hoping for more pages! The book is going so fast that the end is almost startling. I came a way from this one feeling like it was short compared to the others but it is actually the longest book so far, a testament to the action packed roller coaster ride that this volume is. It's very complex with a lot going on but the author builds the scenes well so you can see exactly what he's describing.

In spite of all of the excitement and action there is still a lot of character development - the dynamics between Chase and Rachel, guilt and optimism over Katie, Chase is becoming very pissed off with the whole infected/EOTWAWKI/government dropped the ball situation, and Dog is a friggin' beast!

I came away from this book dying to know what happens next, in fact, I even bought into the Kickstarter deal to help assure I get to find out!
If you haven't read the first two books, don't bother with this one, you will be hopelessly lost. Buy the other two and start at the beginning. If you have read Voodoo Plague and Crucifixion, you have no choice but to read Rolling Thunder and, trust me, when you get to the end you'll already be on the hook for book 4. Kudos to the author for a terrific first effort and congrats for breaking into the Amazon Horror top 100 authors!

Another great adventure with Professor Robert Langdon!  Dan Brown throws Robert and his protagonists into one pit of snakes after another and the action doesn't stop or give you a chance to breathe.  I'm hooked on Mr. Brown's brand of suspenseful adventure and his intriguing subjects.  The villain is a worthy antagonist, diabolical, driven, and vengeful.  I learn a lot from reading his books.  In this tale, I learned things about our country's capitol that I never knew, rather clandestine information, but more general as well.  After reading about the capitol, I want to visit and see for myself, although I checked a fair number of subjects presented in the book on the Internet.  The only thing I'd add to his book is a map of Washington, D.C.
