ENDER'S GAME, by Orson Scott Card a Sci-fi Classic

ENDER'S GAME, by Orson Scott Card 
Ender's Game Ender's Game (1985) is a armed forces science fiction book by American author Orson Scott Card. Placed in Earth's foreseeable future, the novel reveals a 6 year old genius star ship commander.


If i told you this book was about a 6 year old genius star ship commander you probably would not read it,even if i told you it was the best written book since Orsen Wells war of the worlds you mite pay a little bit of attention.This book is being made into a movie that for sure will be block buster of the decade trust me when i tell you i am not a sci-fi buff but this is a classic, one of the best written books of the last 30 years.
Ender" is somewhat under rated, due to the simple fact its story of one boy's redemption in the face of unspeakable crimes is concealed as a entertaining  space-story. So if you are one of those individuals who as a rule stick to just one category (or as a buddy of mine told me the other day: "I'll read anything but science fiction") PLEASE don't let that stop you from reading this extraordinary book. And if you do give it a chance, please don't read anything at all further about the plot; the full effect of Scott's genius is best felt with no previous preperation (that's why I haven't given a plot summerary). When he ultimately pulls all the threads of the story together, you'll feel like you've just slammed into a brick wall. 
Absolutely not to be missed.

Don't Order Dog (Jeri Halston Series) (Volume 1)
Brilliant Twentysix
year old Jeri Halston, beautiful down right gorgeous has amazing intellect.
She really should be killing it on Wall Street or speedclimbing

ladder. But she is not. Perhaps her father’s death the year prior to is responsible. Possibly it’s a
25 year life crisis. Even Jeri does not know for certain. That’s why she’s bartending for pretty
faced coeds
and geriatric men at Joe’s Last Stand Saloon. Tending bar at the old saloon on
Historic Route 66 seems to be to be the ideal way to sort things out. At least, that was the
strategy. But then the correspondence started coming. Crazy, rambling confessions of love from
an unidentified admirer, postmarked from every corner of the globe. A Polaroid photo in each
letter unveils a enticing glimpse of their sender, but never his identification. And always the same
strange sign off – Don’t order dog. Jeri can’t help but be fascinated, and after posting the letters
in the saloon, so is everybody else. But it isn’t until an overzealous Homeland Security agent
named Tom Coleman begins checking out the trail of Jeri’s mystical writer that a pattern starts to
appear. A horrific pattern. A pattern that will throw Jeri’s life into turmoil and force her question to
everything she knows about the world, her country, and even herself.

Tropical Daze (Jack Steven's Adventures) [Kindle Edition] screaming to be made into a movie

Tropical Daze (Jack Steven's Adventures) 
The initial voyage was an easy fun read just what I was searching for. But with "Tropical Daze" Beckman's design and expertise as a writer took a big step forward and recorded his status as one of my "favorite authors".A story of sailing,flying, the CIA, war, thieves, criminals, and inevitably heroes is a book pleading to be produced as a movie. Tantalizingly frustrating, Beckman slams the reader right into Captain Jack's shoes and we feel his every emotion in this roller coaster ride. In Tropical Daze, John Beckman executes some literary expertise, creating another fast paced adventure with his strong leading character types, Jack and Amy, who also happen to have an entire first-novel focused to them in Tropical Knights. Daze is complete in itself with an even larger cast than Knights. John proceeds the adventure/romance, taking up exactly where the first novel ends.This tale, moved along by a high level of danger and excitement, is a guaranteed page-turner!

The Julie O'Hara Mystery Series,by Lee Hanson in order

Castle Cay (Julie O'Hara #1)
When her closest friend passes away in Key West, Julie O'Hara knows he never would have
committed suicide. On her behalf, there's only one issue: Was it an accident, or was Marc
Solomon slain?
A body language expert, Julie takes her knowledge along with her hunch and flies to Boston for
the memorial service, where she meets Marc's handsome and dangerous brother, Avram,
whose griefstricken
stance doesn't deceive her at all.
But the mystery is Castle Cay. Julie learns an astonishing fact from a well known Beacon Hill
attorney about a place she never wanted to think about again...the Solomons' private island in the
Abacos.
One step ahead of real danger, Julie enters Key west, only to find herself cornered by a frantic
killer, having pulled a string that unravels a deadly conspiracy...and on her own troubled past.
I liked this book, but it felt like there were some gaps that could have been filled.Little more
character development for one,the plot is amazing and the mystery is there nice first book well
worth the read.


                                                 Barnses@Noble
                

This is the book two in the Julie O'Hara series, coming after Castle Cay. And to say that I was
amazed is an exaggeration.
Julie O'Hara is a body language specialist; someone who has primarily worked with attorneys to
assistance in picking juries. Now Julie will be using her unique skills in clearing up what looks to
all to be a suicide. After all, she is the first one to have found the victim and has seen the scene a
little differently than the police did.
This book had me hooked right from the begining and the idea behind Julie and her profession is
a unique one since I've mainly only seen "body language experts" being used as secondary or
tertiary characters. This was plotted very firmly, with only just enough clues as was absolutely
essential. It took me by surprise when the true attacker was finally discovered. The characters
Julie and her boyfriend Joe, a private detective and her partner in this book, are appealing and
very likeable.
The only flaw in this novel was that the dialogue between some of the characters seemed a bit
stiff or boring.good read i like it.

Mystral Murder, Volume 3 The Julie O'Hara Mystery Series

With Mystral Murder, Lee Hanson has created the finest Julie O'Hara story to date. It is one of those books you will find hard to stop reading, because it is plotted so well and the characters are thoroughly gripping.

Chatting of the plot, I do not want to give too much away, but let us just say that the author has  written a story that will live long in the memory. The psychological centre of this fine book is Julie's wonderful relationship with Joe. The reader gets the opportunity of watching these superb characters face a number of challenges together.
This is by far best book of the series it is a easy read i enjoyed it,.

Doctor Sleep: A Novel by Stephen King (Author) review [King's long-awaited 36-years-later sequel to 1977's THE SHINING.]

Stephen King comes back to the character and location of one of his most wellknown
works of
fiction ever, The Shining, in this instantaneously riveting story about the now middleaged
Dan
Torrance and the very unique twelveyearold
girl he must save from a tribe of murderous
paranormal s. As i have always said about every other King book is worth reading this King's
longawaited
36yearslater
sequel to 1977's THE SHINING this one of the ones you want to
read.
This novel didn't replicate the level of horror as The Shining. However, I was not very old when I
read the initial novel and the miraculous terror of The shining can't be entirely recaptured. This
book was as fantastic a sequel as could ever have been anticipated to follow up a story that
holds that significant of a position in our combined pasts.
Tend not to read this book if all that's necessary for you is to return to The Overlook Hotel and
insane Jack Torrence. Neither of them are revived except as a summary of Danny Torrence's
historical past. The Overlook Hotel burned up. That's how Jack Torrence, died when he failed
save the Overlook by not removing the defective boiler.. There are reflects from the past,
rehashes, but this isn't as much of a sequel as it is a new story starring old characters.
King quickly updates us on what transpired to little Danny and his mother Wendy, as well as the
old cook who shared the shine with Danny. That update was pretty damn scary in it's own. I
won't tell you, but some revisitations
were made.
In Danny's adult years the story becomes less insanely crazy/scary than the first book.
Nevertheless, King's storytelling and ability to scare are still incredibly strong. This is a different
tale entirely than The Shining, with only a little overlap. Don't expect to encounter that same level
of terror and you won't be let down.
There was also a very human side of this story. Death and dying, the fight for sobriety, King dealt
with a lot of his personal demons I believe. He is 65 years old now, a time when many individuals
reminisce.
Read it you will enjoy the story it is number 8 on Amazon best seller list
