Heading out of town tomorrow and the little brother is letting me borrow the kindle.  Any suggestions of books to get?  I love John Grishman and have read all his books so similar to that is good.  I also enjoy books like One Second After and Patriot.  Thanks

I have been working on "lights out." I think a guy here wrote it. I do not know if you can get it on a kindle but I have enjoyed it so far


I have been recommended by someone "its your ship" kind of a cool story behind it. It is more of a win friends influence people book but it seems to come from a stand up guy and i did see that you can get it on ebook. I just haven't motivated myself to buy a motivational type book.

Anything by Vince Flynn. His first was Term Limits and then Transfer of Power which introduced Mitch Rapp and began that series. I highly recommend his books. Brad Thor is another good author.

OK, a good friend recently recommended "License To Pawn"...

I have not read it but it's on top on my current list.

He's in the IT business rather than the pawn business but he was thoroughly entertained by the book and came away with a new respect for Rick.
