The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson by Jeff Delbel This book has best seller and movie written all over it fantstic

The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson

With lucid prose and vivid description, The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson is a skillfully crafted story you will want to read more than once."
- Glenn Dalton, song writer. "Taxi Dancer" "Between the Lies."

Jimmy Eagleson is a powerful, high-living attorney with more money than he can spend, but daily life isn't great. His mincing disquiet from unfilled, stone-cold memories of his biological father is intensified by the animosity of divorce and his cynicism toward the American business world he thrives in. Then, a chest of secret letters from World War II turns up.
Jimmy's flight takes him to a brawl in the Adirondacks' backwoods, sailing in the Gulf of Mexico with a much younger woman, a showdown with his unscrupulous New York City adversary, back in time to Second World War Europe, and finally to a multifaceted and thought-provoking end.


"The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson manages the rare literary feat of telling a compelling story while bringing to life not just one character but several. The story is captivating, and Jimmy, his colorful friends, and his nemesis come unforgettably alive. Even the novel's locales, especially New York City and the Lake Champlain region, breathe."
- David Connelly, Leader of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team, 1981.

"The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson soars into the literary canon on a breath of fresh air, with writing that's genuine and masterful, characters who are unabashedly honest and often delightfully warty, defying standard genre tropes as it tells a unique story that will appeal to readers of both genders who appreciate a great, gripping read. Eagerly awaiting more from this writer!"
- Elizabeth Haydon, Author of The Symphony of Ages series.\

James Chamberlain   owner of j.r novels

Lee Child's new book, Night School

Jack Reacher, still in the Army, becomes involved in an investigation with elite agents from the F.B.I. and C.I.A.

I’ve read all 20 Jack Reacher books, created by Lee Child. I leaped at the opportunity to review copy of his most recent book. You don’t read 20 books by same author unless of course you genuinely like the characters, and “Night School” is no different. Taking place back in the mid-90’s Military Police Major Jack Reacher is reassigned to go back to school – but it isn’t what everyone thinks. It’s really just a cover to investigate a feasible act of treason and terrorism. Reacher teams up with his old friend Sgt. Frances Neagley and a group of new people comprising the FBI, CIA and the national Security Council to find out what is transpiring and how to stop it. The best part of a thriller is finding out what takes place, so I won’t spoil anything, but Jack Reacher does his typical thing and in the end prevails in the usual Reacher fashion. The interaction between Neagley and Reacher, along with the other team members is enjoyable.

That’s the good part, now the part that isn’t quite as good. I like Reacher novels because over the years he has been constant - Jack Reacher is a really interesting character – keeps a clock in his head – always know specifically what time it is. Calculates the physics of a punch before he throws it, etc. In this book, Reacher is a bit more superficial. There is a lot less of Reacher’s thought process in this book and I felt it made the book a bit less fun to read. In fact, I can only give it “4 Stars” because it’s good – very good, in fact… but it lacks a bit of what makes Reacher novels so enjoyable.

Reacher fans will love it. Folks new to the series will enjoy it, as well. I enjoyed it. I just wish Lee Child done a bit more to keep Reacher’s character as exclusive and entertaining as he has done in the past.

Lost Girls: A rapid paced, clenching thriller novel (Detective Kim Stone crime thriller series Book 3)

Amazingly gripping, powerful, action-packed book and undoubtedly one of my favorites.



Lost Girls is the 3rd book in the D.I Kim Stone collection. Even while I have read the prior two
books I in fact think Lost Girls pretty easily reads as a stand alone novel, however would
definitely suggest reading the first two novels also as they are superb books.
The story line in Lost Girls, as a mother or father, truly did make for an uneasy read in areas but
was amazed and truly consumed by it.
I don’t know if it was due to the fact of the dynamics of the case but Kim appeared a lot more
energetic than usual. I genuinely would not want to get on the inappropriate side of her. She
undoubtedly put more than a couple of individuals in their places, which a couple of people
more than well deserved it and I thoroughly enjoyed reading through those sections.
The desperation of the circumstance of the two lost girls really comes through in the book and
Lost Girls genuinely makes for a fast moving and clenching read which, by the finish I was
virtually holding my breath, wishing that Kim and her team would resolve the situation and find
both girls safe and more essentially alive.
The sections with Charlie and Amy delivered chills all through me. You could sense the genuine
fear and terror that both girls were enduring. This is unquestionably not a read for the weak
hearted but for true crime thriller fans this is undoubtedly a must read.
The writer surely knows how to interlace a tale that performs games with the audience minds
never mind the characters. With twists and turns it is a story that will absolutely get your heart
beating.
Fantastic book in which for me is very much a 5 star collection.

Invisible by James Patterson ,David Ellis James Patterson's scariest, most chilling stand-alone thriller yet

Invisible by James Patterson ,David Ellis  James Patterson's scariest, most chilling stand-alone thriller yet,Invisible. Absolutely everyone believes FBI analyst Emmy is insane because she thinks 100s of crimes are linked. What if she's correct.

Absolutely everybody is convinced Emmy Dockery is insane. Preoccupied with obtaining the link between 100s of unsolved cases, Emmy has taken leave from her work as an FBI analyst. Now all she has are the newspaper clippings that wallpaper her room, and her continual nightmares of an all-consuming fire.

Not even Emmy's ex-boyfriend, field agent Harrison "Books" Bookman, will believe her that 100s of kidnappings, rapes, and murders are all linked. That is, until Emmy detects a piece of evidence he can't afford to overlook. More murders are documented by the day--and they're all mysterious. No motives, no murder weapons, no suspects. Could one particular person truly be responsible for these unimaginable crimes?



Excerpt from http://www.jamespatterson.com/books_invisible.php#excerpts

Chapter 1

THIS TIME I know it, I know it with a certainty that chokes my throat with panic, that grips and twists my heart until it’s ripped from its mooring. This time, I’m too late.

This time, it’s too hot. This time, it’s too bright, there’s too much smoke.

The house alarm is screaming out, not the early-warning beep but the piercing you’re-totally-screwed-if-you-don’tmove-now squeal. I don’t know how long it’s been going off, but it’s too late for me now. The searing oven-blast heat within the four corners of my bedroom. The putrid black smoke that singes my nostril hairs and pollutes my lungs. The orange flames rippling across the ceiling above me, dancing around my bed, almost in rhythm, a taunting staccato, popping and crackling, like it’s not a fire but a collection of flames working together; collectively, they want me to know, as they bob up and down and spit and cackle, as they slowly advance, This time it’s too late, Emmy —

The window. Still a chance to jump off the bed to the left and run for the window, the only part of the bedroom still available. The enemy is cornering me, daring me, Go ahead, Emmy, go for the window, Emmy —

This is my last chance, and I know, but don’t want to think about, what happens if I fail —that I have to start preparing myself for the pain. It will just hurt for a few minutes, it will be teeth-gnashing, gut-twisting agony, but then the heat will shrivel off my nerve endings and I’ll feel nothing, or better yet I’ll pass out from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Nothing to lose. No time to waste.

The flames hit my flannel comforter as my legs kick over to the floor, as I bounce up off the mattress and race the one-two-three-four steps to the window. A girlish, panicky squeal escapes my throat, like when Daddy and I used to play chase in the backyard and he was closing in. I lower my shoulder and lunge against the window, a window that was specifically built to not shatter, and ringing out over the alarm’s squeal and the lapping of the flames is a hideous roar, a hungry growl, as I bounce off the window and fall backward into the raging heat. I tell myself, Breathe, Emmy, suck in the toxic pollution, don’t let the flames kill you, BREATHE—

Breathe. Take a breath.

“Damn,” I say to nobody in my dark, fire-free room. My eyes sting from sweat and I wipe them with my T-shirt. I know better than to move right away; I remain still until my pulse returns to human levels, until my breathing evens out.

I look over at the clock radio, where red fluorescent square numbers tell me it’s half past two.

Dreams suck. You think you’ve conquered something, you work on it over and over and tell yourself you’re getting better, you will yourself to get better, you congratulate yourself on getting better. And then you close your eyes at night, you drift off into another world, and suddenly your own brain is tapping you on the shoulder and saying,Guess what? You’re NOT better!

I let out one, conclusive exhale and reach for my bedroom light. When I turn it on, the fire is everywhere. It’s my wallpaper now, the various photographs and case summaries and inspectors’ reports adorning the walls of my bedroom, fires involving deaths in cities throughout the United States: Hawthorne, Florida. Skokie, Illinois. Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Plano, Texas. Piedmont, California.

And, of course, Peoria, Arizona.

Fifty-three of them in all.

I move along the wall and quickly review each one. Then I head to my computer and start opening e-mails.

Fifty-three that I know of. There are undoubtedly more.

This guy isn’t going to stop.

The Target David Baldacci's New Thriller

The Target David Baldacci's  New Thriller

Always said u don't read  BALDACCI NOVEL you live it,this one is no exception.exception. Baldacci who has made his fame and fortune writing action, thrillers is one of my favorite authors.From Zero power ,day of doom to last man standing can't think of a a book written by Baldacci i did not enjoy.

David Baldacci's newest thriller, "The Target," expert assassins Will Robie and his partner,
Jessica Reel, are theoretically offered a clean slate by the federal government on the condition
that they take on a suicide mission.
The us president is aware it could signify his impeachment if they are captured. Evan Tucker,
the head of the CIA, questions they can follow instructions and would like to see them die before
they take the assignment. He tosses them into the Burner Box, a high tech
teaching facility that
is infamous for busting agents, both bodily and psychologically. Tucker tosses the complete
worst at them, and they soon learn that enduring the torture is the easy part of their assignment.
While they are battling to pass the escalating ferocious tests thrown at them, a man in a different
part of the country is waiting for his fate on death row. Even so, he is dying from lung cancer,
and he persuades his doctor to look up his daughter, who was located in witness protection
years before, so he can tell her goodbye.
He has an ulterior objective, and while his doctor contemplates getting in touch with the
authorities, in another part of the world, a North Korean assassin receives a hazardous mission
with worldchanging
implications.
Robie and Reel are intricate heroes, and whatever they do is a enjoyment to follow. However, the
ventures are incredibly short and somewhat patchy from the rest of the story, making it seem
that the operations were short stories that Baldacci tossed in with the rest of the story and
character types. That aside, Baldacci has learned how to get audience to turn the pages, and
he's in prime form here.
