Just finished Twilight's Last Gleaming by Walter Wager. Very good very 70's thriller about a gang of murderers led by a disgraced Major taking over a nuclear silo and holding the USA to ransom. Wager wrote several thrillers including Telefon and 58 Minutes, the original story for Die Hard 2.

I'm now reading Last Man At Arlington by Joseph DiMona and then The Executioner: War Against The Mafia by Don Pendleton. This last one is starting off like Reacher crossed with Death Wish but written in 1969.


I trust you've read the Parker novels from Richard Stark/Donald Westlake? I liked the Mel Gibson film but the Statham one was utter pish.

Always meant to try the Bolan books.

Just started the Burning Man by Alan Russell - the first in the Gideon and Sirius series. They're on a deal on kindle at the moment.

So far so good. I have the first three books and think I'll enjoy them.

Gideon is a K9 cop and Sirius his dog, based in LA. Quite a dramatic start to the book but I'll leave it there so no spoilers.

Night School. Just finished it. Could have been a bit better but otherwise good. 4/5 IMO.

My brother got me the first two Expanse books for my birthday. So read them and then have a look at the TV series I guess.

Peter F Hamilton's - Night without Stars

I love his work and am really enjoying this one - just over 50% through it (its about 800 pages long)

Looks interesting - might buy this and then get SWMBO to read it as she is always saying she want to know more about "Science"

I haven't read a lot of it yet but I went to a talk/book signing thing by the author and she told a story that I hope is in there about a compressed air cannon and a box full of jelly, which was just brilliant.
