| JoeB have you gone crazy? I thought you were reading Havoc by R.J. Pineiro? What does investing in nanotech have to do with Havoc? Well its interesting I get a newsletter to sign up for from Forbes about investing in nanotechnology. I started to laugh after reading about half of this alarming novel. Tom Grant, a retired agent with the CIA, is suckered back into service by Special Agent Rachel Muratani with a promise of more than enough money to retire His job is to track down his old boss and trainer who is supposed to be dead, Troy Savage. Little does he realize his real position is to save our species! Assy, the prototype nanoassembler, who is highly intelligent, self-propelled and self-replicating has a mission to destroy humans. Now why would I want to invest in nanotech, Mr. Forbes? Final assessment next week! |

Sunday Salon - Raise Havoc or Hell
| My oldest treated me to three new books for Father's Day and she always seems to know what I don't have in reading materials. The one I grabbed first was Havoc, by R.J. Pineiro. Reading the first chapter, I thought of one of my early heroes, Ray Bradbury. Not in style but in the futuristic style of this novel. |
Nanotechnology is what the future holds for all of us, but this terrifying book is not what I want to be involved in the future.
A stolen nanoassembler with the ability to recreate itself, destroying any object or human capabilities, and able to comprehend new information makes for a fascinating read!
Well enough till next week!
Happy Father's Day!

Sunday Salon>The Watchman< Fact or Fiction
| I do not know where I've been, but this is the 11th thriller to feature Joe Pike, the ex-cop,ex- Marine, ex-mercenary and now bodyguard. Also my first Robert Crais novel. Where have I been? Mr. Crais is the author of the Elvis Cole mysteries and Mr. Cole plays an important role in this fast paced, twisted plot, flawed character mystery thriller. |
A young heiress, Larkin Conner has unknowingly become the target of hitmen. When several attempts are made on her life, her multi-millionaire father calls in security professionals, and they call Joe Pike.
One night while returning home, she accidentally hits a car, injuring its passengers. Before she can call for help, the driver speeds off and a man in the back seat disappears down a nearby alley.
As Pike and Cole try to figure out why Larkin is a target, they realize that essentially everyone claiming to want to protect her is hiding behind a facade, withholding information that will save her.
Looking forward to finishing this exciting book this week!
