Sunday Salon - Two Different and Maybe Good?

Have been reading two completely different, maybe somewhat how shall I say, boring , no "lacking" novels this week. Both by authors not so familiar with me but have read of them.

The Consignment by Grant Sutherland, is ok, but has some inaccuracies of the details reveal a lack of understanding of the American military. Officers going in and out of active duty and F16s have become able to land on aircraft carriers. If you ignore these and other missteps the book isn't too bad. Ned Rourke works as an undercover sales rep for an arms company to help the government catch illegal arms traders.

Thom Racina author of Deep Freeze has written multiple novels over the years, but this one lacks depth. The characters are pretty thin and after fifty or pages of snow, your attention is drawn to what is on the ol' TV! The disaster novel is about a  cosmological climate change in California that brings about a blizzard in Los Angeles. I have not finished this book, so I do hope the end is better that the start!

You all know I am a positive reader, meaning I generally only have good things to say about most fiction novels, but this week I am just letting my feelings out!

One of this books was $3.00 and the other a gift, boy am I glad!

Sunday Salon - Havoc? Could this be Real?

Started Havoc three weeks ago and in between the many summer visits from my grandchildren, I have managed to get to the last chapter today.   The Nano's of my mind are boggled with all the possibilities of what this ever advancing technology can do. Imagine opening the hood of your flying car to see that one inch by two inch engine that takes you to the store and back.

Imagine a laptop that could blow away in the wind!

Wow, I am really dreaming or am I?

R.J. Pineiro really knows the nanotechnology area. But this could mean the end of Homo Sapiens and a world ruled by "smart" machines. Assy, would like nothing better. You see Dr. Giles created Assy, modified Assy, and gave Assy all the info to rule the world. Or so he thought.

Mike Ryan certainly was not going to let a nanoassembler destroy us!

Tom Grant a retired CIA operative was coaxed back into service by Rachel Muratani, a sleek, good-looking, rising star in the agency.

Tom is trying to find Troy Savage his old boss whom Rachel believes has turned to the other side.

Nothing is as it seems, as Troy is secretly working for CIA Director Bane to help catch a mole or moles inside the agency.

All Havoc does break loose as the German conglomerate, CyberWerke is the villain both in the case of the moles and the world-wide Nano horror that is named Assy along with its subordinates.

You will enjoy this book! Cost $3.00! How much is a Big Mac?
