Book Review: Project Nemesis By Jeremy Robinson

2019-03-10

gotta admit, I've never really been a fan of the Godzilla-type stories. Not in movie form, and I've certainly never read a book about them.

And then I picked up Robinson's Project Nemesis - specifically because it was written by Robinson.

Now I can't wait for my second strange beast book!

The basics: Guys find something in Alaska. Later, one of the guys heads a team working on human regeneration. Hands some strange...

Book Review: Ragnarok By Jeremy Robinson

2019-03-10

If you like globe trotting action (ala PULSE or THRESHOLD), you'll love the first half of this book. If you like more one-location action (ala INSTINCT), you'll love the second half/ final battle of this book. If you want to know what happens with the Chess Team spread all over the planet, each off doing their own thing, and how they come back together, you'll love this entire book. If you love action mixed with a bit of sci-fi, you'll love this entire book. If you like balls to the wall action, you'll love this entire book.

Robinson is quickly gaining more and more space on bookshelves, bot...

Book Review: Resurrect By Kane Gilmour

2019-03-10

RESURRECT is Kane Gilmour's first work, and I would EASILY put it up there with other first works such as Dale Brown's Flight of the Old Dog, Clive Cussler's Mediterranean Caper, or Tom Clancy's Hunt for Red October. Yes, this book is THAT good - or better.

The action starts with a plane crash in a remote region of China near Tibet, picks up with the survivor and her rescuers being chased through a mountain by people trying to blow them up, and...

Book Review: Seven Principles Of Good Government By Gary Johnson

2019-03-10

I've been following the Governor since some friends started talking about him a couple of years ago when he launched the Our America Initiative. Honestly, before that point, I'd never heard of the man.

Even though I've been following him for a couple of years and know quite a bit about him and his positions, this book revealed far more that even I didn't know - and convinced me even more that this is the man that America needs in the White House.

For example, while I've always known him to be forthright, I didn't know to the exact extent he held himself until reading the c...

Book Review: The Crypt Of Dracula By Kane Gilmour

2019-03-10

Gilmour warns at the outset to the book that he is a big fan of the 70s and earlier incarnations of Count Dracula, and he sticks to that warning throughout the book while doing a superb job of showing what vampires are SUPPOSED to be like.

From the opening scene of the book where a pile of ash gets bloody and a creature arises, to the first time we see our hero and see the reaction of the ...

Book Review: The Djinn By Kent Holloway

2019-03-10

This is my first book from J. Kent Holloway... and it most certainly will NOT be my last!

The action starts off with King Solomon (you know, ancient Jewish king, Son of David, Solomon's Temple, all that jazz) thirsting for knowledge - and nearly paying for it with his life.

Several centuries later, during the Crusades, a new man - Baron Gregory - seeks the same knowledge. He has...

Book Review: Trial By Fury By Douglas Preston

Preston (of Preston and Child fame) writes an interesting piece, but one thing is sorely lacking:

Book Review: Why Men Hate Going To Church By David Murrow

2019-03-10

I finally finished reading David Murrow's "Why Men Hate Going to Church (updated)", after having put it down for a couple of months while I read other books and worked on other things.

The best I can say about this book is that it is a gold mine, in the truest sense of the term. You see, my wife watches Gold Rush on Discovery Channel, so I wind up watching quite a bit of it with her. On that show, various crews move around literally TONS of earth, searching for a few specks of gold. That is EXACTLY what you will be doing reading this book - searching through tons of detritus (to put it gently) for the occasional HINT of something worth noting.

To say I was disappointed in this book would be a statement in contention f...

Book Review: With By Skye Jethani

2019-03-10

Skye Jethani's With: Reimagining The Way You Relate to God was my first book through the BookSneeze review program, and I'm honestly glad I found the program and this book on it. You see, this is one of the more mind blowing books I've ever read - which is saying something, considering I've read books such as Ted Dekker's Circle Series and most books Bill Myers has put out.

If you want to quit reading this review now, I'll leave you with this: READ THIS BOOK. You will NOT regret it.

Some details:

Mr. Jethani - an editor of a leading Christian magazine - uses the first half of the book to talk about the four basic ways most of us relate to God:

L...

Book Review: Callsign King By Jeremy Robinson And Sean Ellis

2019-03-09

I've read every single book Mr. Robinson has put out so far, though Mr. Ellis is new to me. So I have a pretty good feel for Mr. Robinson's writing...

... and like the title says here, I couldn't tell that there were two authors involved in this project. It flows just like any other CHESS TEAM book, though the only member of the Team that appears in this one is the titular leader.

The story is GREAT - basic...
