. Is a magnificent book. Fascinating and touching. Nina is also a James Mason member! Amazing how she chose to read a book a day for a year as therapy to deal with heartbreaking loss of her sister

Anne wrote: "How about, "It happened one Summer day."?"

I am thinking something more snappy..."Summer Day Shot" ,,,or "In the Heat of a Summer Day"

I agree 10000% Helen MacInnes was one of the truly great novelists in "spy/espionage" genre!!
Favorite of her books!!

Barbara wrote: "I rented "The Bourne Legacy" (with Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz) and loved it. If you like thrillers see this one."

See I love thrillers..and can watch it as an action film..just always felt Robert Ludlum had an older, more suave/tough person (Think an American Connery from Goldfinger era)in mind when he created Jason Bourne..

Love action films!..never saw that one..curious if you saw Sin City..have the bluray..have not watched it yet

Great post Gare!! needless to say..and I have said it many time!! The fact that James Mason never won - 3 nominations- tells me all I need know about the Oscars
Have not watched an Oscar telecast since he lost

I agree...Great thing about Jones was he wrote his war novels front the point of view of the "grunt"
the real fighting man..as Jones was in real life

I notice Tuffy that you do not have an "Author Page" where you can have folks click "Become a Fan" , also lists your books..and covers..not sure how to set one up- but we have many writers here who have Author Pages with their book covers..so I will ask all writers with Author Pages..to please assist fellow member Tuffy on who to create one!

Curious I anyone ever read Manning Coles spy novels?
