KNIGHT'S CROSS by Chirstine Kling



Think "Davinci Code" at sea. I loved everything about this tale! The characters were engaging, the locations magnificent, and the adventure fun... despite the guns and violence. Pick up a copy, you won't be sorry!

SHUTTER MAN by Richard Montanari



Take a journey into the dichotomy that is the New York Irish community, and it's inexorable ties to both New York's finest and it's unmistakable criminal elements. Irish folklore is alive and well in this dreadful tale, and the need to remove a curse. We see the makings of serial killers, as well as a couple die hard defenders of citizens rights. Near the end, when you're sure you've figured it all out... guess again. This story is not lacking in a few surprise twists!

WORD PUPPETS by Mary Robinette Kowal



I love short story collections, the variety is always welcome. This book does not disappoint, the stories take us from a legendary warrior to Mars. The last three stories, my favorites, take us to Mars and let us experience what could have been. If pressed to describe these tales in one word, it would have to be entertaining!

THE BOOK OF ASH by John A McCaffrey



Welcome to a strange new world, filled with interesting characters. Spend some time with a man, as he approaches the "Day of No Consequence". This is a day you can act out all your aggressions with no reprisals. This bizarre story is quite entertaining and a bit disturbing at times. That said, it's a very interesting read!

OLDENGLEN by Robin Mason & Michael Mason



A fun story with some life lessons thrown in for good measure. Interesting story line about the relationship of man and animal, and their relationship to the earth. This is an adventure story that shows the symbiotic relationship between man and nature in a way that draws you in. Great book for children to read, might just make them more interested in learning about the animal world!
