May 2016

"The Kraken Project" by Douglas Preston was action packed and held my interest throughout. Wyman Ford and a scientist race a murderous Wall Street group to find an artificial intelligence. The ending was especially clever and thought-provoking.

"War Hawk" by James Rollins & Grant Blackwood is the new Tucker Wayne / Kane novel. Former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne, and his highly trained Malinois shepherd Kane, while trying to protect a woman and her son, are pulled into deadly conspiracy. Another can't-put-it-down novel by Rollins & Blackwood. Several of the action sequences are seen from the dog's point of view. Great book.
