just stumbled into smith. starting at the start of his Egypt series then I'll go into the others. I'm glad he's been writing a while- usually I find an author I like and I'll burn thru all his books and find myself disappointed there are no more to read- most recently DeMille and James Rollins for example.

I still gotta get to cornwell. I think it did a search at the library and none came up so I gave up.

Smith's books are harsh and gritty....hero's and heroines die right along with the bad guys.

Yeah but more realistic, not fantasy/science fiction.

Making my way through Sergio De La Pava's 'A Naked Singularity' (great title!). Originally self-published, this 800+ page book is both brilliant, and frustratingly self-indulgent. It could have benefited from some editing, but at what cost? This guy, a public defender in NYC, is so talented, like a Pynchon, or a Vollmann. Bookmark this guy; he has the real sauce.

Killing Patton was a great read. Chocked full of history. Ike, FDR, Truman, Churchill, Hitler and Stalin.

Our Young Adult novel REDEMPTION'S WARRIOR is gathering steam on AmazonKindle. If you like YA genre or have older teens in your home...check it out and give it a review.

Wasn't he killed in a car accident or something? Why would that be the book's premise?

I understand that, and neither of us are fans, if I presume correctly. But at least his other 'Killing' titles made sense, as the subjects were murdered. Patton, though? It was a car accident.
