Move over Jackal, here comes Pilgrim?
This is definitely the best covert ops/terrorism/murder book I have read this year. Whether it gets into my top 10 best thrillers depends on how long it remains in my memory. There is a lot to remember in a complex 700 page book that left me with so many impressions - intelligent and clever, superbly and deeply plotted, brilliant characterisation, ambitious, enthralling, page-turning, action-packed and mostly unpredictable.
Pilgrim is the codename chosen by a man who doesn't want to exist. An adopted son of a wealthy family he has always been a loner and after college becomes part of an unknown covert US government group. After becoming the star operator in the group in an operation in Russia he goes into anonymous retirement and writes an obscure book under a pseudonym about the forensic background to the perfect crime. Can anyone commit the perfect crime using this information?
On the other side of the world in Saudi Arabia another youth grows up in a world...

Excellent selective guide to Germany's top destinations
Rick Steves guides are always excellent, but there is a major caveat. You have to appreciate Rick's approach to travel to really enjoy these guides. There are three characteristics that set these books apart from other travel guides.
First, they are NOT encyclopedic, but are selective surveys of the countries they cover. Rick does not attempt to cover the country in an exhaustive, comprehensive way. He selects sights, hotels, restaurants, and other attractions based on the things he believes most travelers will want to visit, and prioritizes them. For example, this guide recommends a trip to Nuremburg, but not to Bamberg. He recommends enormously popular Rothenburg, but not lesser-known but equally lovely Quedlinburg. All this adds up to make Rick's book a very much "on the beaten path" guide. His reason? If something is popular, there must be a reason. To really enjoy a guide like this, you have to trust that Rick's recommendations are made based on a thorough...

A brilliant collection of short stories by Pearlman! Worth reading is you can handle mature topics!
I received this book early from another website I belong to. I hope this review is helpful to you.
Pearlman's stories and incredibly descriptive, with an excellent use of symbolism, tone, and some surprisingly cynical surprises.
The short stories primarily take place in Massachusetts, with Rennie as the main character in most.
I must warn you there are some vivid accounts of some deeply troublesome topics, such as female circumcision. For me this was a bit shocking and far outside my comfort zone. However, it was handled in a tactful way and easy to digest once the initial shock wears off.
Overall, the stories are quite intelligent and are based on the simplicity of regular people who experience a shocking or unexpected event/situation. Certainly an interesting, smart, and moving way to spend your time as a reader.
My hat is off to Pearlman and hope you found this review helpful. I didn't want to give too much away. Certainly...

Reset, Booted and Logged On!
I saw Mz. Wild and her book advertised on Facebook and I checked it out. Quite expensive at $9.99 but I took a chance and I'm glad I did. 'Hardwired' started off a bit slow and in fact I didn't think Blake had that much alpha fire. Boy was I wrong. The story picked up and so did the plot. Engaging, hawt sex and a twisted plot that I am still trying to figure out leaves me forgetting the ridiculous price of $9.99 I paid for the initial book in this series, but yes, I do want more.
I like Erica - she's no push over and she is aware of her issues and she's a go getter.
The story does pick up after the first 35 pages with supporting characters also keeping the story moving. There is also a nice surprise in the fact that 'Hardwired' presents diversity in its story characters - hallelujah!!!
I like how Erica uses her own resources not just relying upon Blake's.
HOW WILL THIS SERIES BE SUCCESSFUL? I pray Mz. Wild doesn't wait too long to drop book 2 and I sincerely hope...

"The one true God has now taken charge of the world, in and through Jesus and his death and resurrection."
NT Wright is an author that many are excited about and many are frustrated by. There is good reason for both. NT Wright is a serious scholar and he has helped reinvigorate serious scholarship about the New Testament that is focused on orthodox Christianity.
The main theological frustration, especially for a particular group of Reformed, is that he has focused on Paul and interpreted Paul as not being primarily focused on Jesus' Penal Substitution. He has not ignored Penal Substitution, or said it is not a real part of Christianity, but he has said the focus of Paul is not on Jesus' penal substitution, but on Jesus as King and restorer.
That major focus on Wright's work is front and center in Simply Good News. Wright does fairly well writing either to an academic audience (as his 1700 pages opus on Paul) or a popular audience. Simply Good News (like Simply Jesus, Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope) is popularly focused and has few footnotes or academic...

Mazes, locked doors, sheep-skinned man.....
A thoughtful, disciplined, lonely boy, a beautiful girl, a bird and a sheep man round out the cast of characters in The Strange Library, a short and strange novel with fewer than 100 pages.
The story begins with an unnamed boy returning his library books and looking for more books before returning home to his waiting mother and his pet bird. At the library he is directed to Room 107, located in the basement of the library, where a gruff old man answers the door and asks him what he wants. Startle by the man, the boy asks for a title that popped into his head on the way from school - "How Taxes are Collected in the Ottoman Empire", but really just anxious to get away from the old man. Unfortunately, he soon finds out that getting out of the library will not be as easy as it was to get in. Be careful what you ask for in this library, and be expected to read the books you ask for -- or else!
