Announcing... The Kroese Cruise! (Pronounced "KROO-zee Krooz"):

I mentioned this a couple days ago on Twitter and Facebook, but I'm pretty sure everybody thought it was an April Fool's joke. So here's the official story: there really is going to be a Rob Kroese Fan Cruise ("Kroese Cruise" for short). It's a seven day Mexican Riviera Cruise departing from Long Beach on November 18. Along the way...

Robert's Recent Updates

Mercury Rises by Robert Kroese
" Wonderful romp. While Mercury Falls was full of *nudge-nudge* moments that I felt distracted from the story, Mercury Rises lets the story dictate more of the comedy. There are still some of those moments that Rob can't help but throw in, but overa... "

The Detachment by Barry Eisler
The Detachment (John Rain, #7)
by Barry Eisler (Goodreads Author)
read in January, 2012
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Never read one of Eisler's books before, but he's a fellow Amazon author and the price was right.

The Detachment pulled me right in, and I appreciated Eisler's eye for detail and sense of realism. I also liked the way he played with the double meaning...more

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing

This book is frankly terrifying.

Rickards starts with a historical tour, highlighting the near-catastrophic results of two previous currency wars — the first of which led to the Great Depression and World War II, and the second of which led the malais...more

Licensed to Kill by Robert Young Pelton
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I'm torn about this book. On the one hand, it's a fairly balanced study of the phenomenon of private military contractors with a lot of really interesting information in it. On the other hand, it's poorly organized, often back-tracking to cover groun...more

Bertrand Russell
“Leibniz was somewhat mean about money. When any young lady at the court of Hanover married, he used to give her what he called a "wedding present," consisting of useful maxims, ending up with the advice not to give up washing now that she had secured a husband. History does not record whether the brides were grateful. ”
Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy
