Yes, I enjoyed this one a lot. An excellent SF/Action story. I hadn't realised (& it doesn't become apparent until half way through the book) that this is also in way of a sequel to Crystal Rain. An excellent SF/Action story.

Now for what I think will be a straight fantasy, Stealing the Elf-King's Roses by Diane Duane. Her "Young Wizard" series is excellent, and I'm looking forward to seeing what she does with Elves.

I started Jack: Secret Histories by F. Paul Wilson yesterday.
The book I wanted someone to buy for me in the Kindle store and convert ... but that didn't work out and miraculously, I got that book for christmas in the good old paper version. "Geographical restrictions" my a$$ - amazon ships the paper book but not the kindle version to Austria.

Anyhow, I knew it was categorized as Young Adult, but I never thought it'd make me feel like I was 13 or 14 and reading Hitchcock's ??? or TKKG or Five Friends

Let's see...I'm currently re-reading "1984" by George Orwell on my Sony, "Under the Dome" by Stephen King in hardback, and "Before the Frost" by Henning Mankell in paperback.

Just a side note...The selection of ebooks on this site is amazing! I don't know if anyone who contributes will see this here, but thank you for your efforts. I appeciate it!

Finished 'All Together Dead' by Charlaine Harris. Better than the last one. I am going to keep going and finish them.

I just finished the novels and am reading the shorts stories now. I really enjoyed the series. I found it got better as it progressed.

I'm reading Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir. The story is historical fiction about the circumstances of Lady Jane Grey getting the throne rather than Henry VIII's daughter Mary (later Bloody Mary). It was our book club required read for this month.

Having the Sony PRS-505 is great. I don't have to go out to find the book!

I"m a big fan of Alison Weir. I have that one on my list together with the ones about Isabella and Elizabeth respectively. I have already read the Six Wives of Henry VIII which was excellent.

I'm about a quarter the way through Under The Dome. Well written and good character development but, so far, it lacks that suspense and darkness that some of King's better books had especially It and The Stand
