From the supplier: Ernest Hemingway's short story 'After the Storm' may have been inspired in part by the chapter titled 'The Grand Armada' in Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick.' Both episodes share a similar plot structure and confront their characters with a version of the realities of death, life and nature. Hemingway's version of this confrontation places human life in the dog-eat-dog world of nature as a whole, making people just another part of the food chain, while Melville more philosophically ponders the highly-valued human characteristics found in nature. Other sources for Hemingway's story are discussed.

One May evening in London, Adam Kindred, a young climatologist in town for a job interview, is feeling good about the future as he sits down for a meal at a little Italian bistro. He strikes up a conversation with a solitary diner at the next table, who leaves soon afterward. With horrifying speed, this chance encounter leads to a series of malign accidents, through which Adam loses everything—home, family, friends, job, reputation, passport, credit cards, cell phone—never to get them back.

The police are searching for him. There is a reward for his capture. A hired killer is stalking him. He is alone and anonymous in a huge, pitiless modern city. Adam has nowhere to go but down—underground. He decides to join that vast army of the disappeared and the missing who throng London’s lowest levels as he tries to figure out what to do with his life and struggles to understand the forces that have made it unravel so spectacularly. Adam's quest will take him all along the river Thames, from affluent Chelsea to the gritty East End, and on the way he will encounter all manner of London's denizens—aristocrats, prostitutes, evangelists, and policewomen—and version after new version of himself.

Ordinary Thunderstorms, William Boyd's electric follow-up to his award-winning Restless, is a profound and gripping novel about the fragility of social identity, the corruption at the heart of big business, and the secrets that lie hidden in the filthy underbelly of every city.

!1: Best Buy William Boyd is a great storyteller and wonderful novelist. I purchased this book after reading Stephen King's rave review. The story is poignant, and while somewhat far-fetched it remains a very solid read. Highly recommended. on Sale!

Ty Hauck is shattered by the news. A close friend from his past, along with her husband and daughter, has been brutally murdered in her home by vicious intruders. Now he will risk everything he loves to avenge her death. . . .
A wealthy banker, seeing his world about to crumble around him, knows his family is in unfathomable danger. . . .
A U.S. government agent watches the sudden bank transfers of millions in cash and suspects that this is the first step in a plot to unleash a wave of global panic. . . .
Ty Hauck hunts the murderer of a friend—and steps into the crosshairs of a sinister conspiracy—in this most electrifying novel yet from New York Times bestselling thriller master Andrew Gross

Private security investigator Ty Hauck, with Naomi Blum, a tenacious agent from the U.S. Department of Treasury, unravels the evidence that joins these seemingly unrelated events—revealing a reckless scheme that stretches from New York to London to central Europe and gives new meaning to the phrase "too big to fail." What began with a tragedy that opened a door to Hauck's past—a door that he thought was long closed—ends with a frantic race to avert a disaster that could shake the very security of our country—and even the world.

±1±: Best Buy First of all, I liked Reckless. No, not as much as the previous novels, but for what it is, it's fine. Characters are believable and there is some emotional resonance throughout, even with the "bad guys."

There've already been a number of good reviews here, so I'm not going to deal with plot at all. Instead, I'll deal with those "amusing mistakes." I write a bit myself and one thing I've learned that I must do in my work is not to forget the name of a character that I first wrote about sixteen chapters ago and am just now reintroducing. Or to be either careless or forgetful and wind up having a highway taking characters in the opposite direction from where I'm sending them. Gross didn't catch a couple of things here, and apparently neither did his editors. They're not consequential in any way, but it is a bid disconcerting to find a character declaring he's from one state when we've learned earlier that he was from another. It also doesn't really matter when the colors of a university's sports team are wrong--even the most careful writer can't research everything and our memories sometimes deceive us--but when the reader who knows the real colors comes across the error, he will certainly lose the rhythm and stall at that place for a while.

Still...I enjoyed the book. That doesn't mean that I believed it, but belief isn't really required for this kind of book.

(I have to admit though that Hauck's love life becomes rather tedious--for a couple of reasons.) on Sale!

±1±: Best Buy I'm enjoying this book so much I'm now looking for two earlier Kidd novels: The Fool's Run and The Empress File.
The main character, Kidd, is a computer expert whose legal occupation is painting and whose illegal one is industrial espionage. His sometime partner in crime is LuEllen, a burglar, who helps Kidd at significant risk to herself and without complaining. She's a thrill junkie -- which is why she is a burglar for a living -- and a really interesting character. In this story, a friend and fellow hacker is apparently shot during an attempted robbery but a closer look suggests he was set up. Kidd and LuEllen take on the bad guys and an alphabet soup of government agencies in their high-tech quest for justice. And the reader is wonderful!!! I could just SEE Kidd thanks to his amazing voice! on Sale!

±1±: Best Buy Lee Child has once again written a real page turner. He does such a good job with character development and in developing the situations in which Reacher finds himself involved.

The brilliant new Virgil Flowers thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.

One late fall Sunday in southern Minnesota, a farmer brings a load of soybeans to a local grain elevator- and a young man hits him on the head with a steel bar, drops him into the grain bin, waits until he's sure he's dead, and then calls the sheriff to report the "accident." Suspicious, the sheriff calls in Virgil Flowers, who quickly breaks the kid down...and the next day the boy's found hanging in his cell. Remorse? Virgil isn't so sure, and as he investigates he begins to uncover a multigeneration, multifamily conspiracy-a series of crimes of such monstrosity that, though he's seen an awful lot in his life, even he has difficulty in comprehending it...and in figuring out what to do next.
