July 2020 Chockful of Action/Adventure Group Read Nominations

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Our first group read theme in the Cycle Process we're using to select themes is: Chockful of Action/Adventure.

So let's pick books that are action-packed, from beginning to end.


(Please recall that we don't vote for books we've already had as a group read--There's a link below to check our list of previous group reads).

Here are the other considerations:

1. One nomination per group member. The books must be nominated with a Goodreads link by clicking on 'add book/author'. If a book does not have a Goodreads link, it will not be added to the poll.
2. Books need to be readily available, ie, in print (able to buy new or in ebook format).
3. Books should have some degree of action/adventure content.
4. Past group reads are not eligible to be nominated again. The past group discussions remain open for members to comment. You can view the list of past reads here:

5. Books must be either standalone or first in a series (or they may be later in a series if constructed to be read as a standalone).
6. Authors are asked not to nominate their own books or solicit nominations from members.

Please feel free to include a blurb for the book so others know a little about the book, along with your Goodreads book link.

The poll will go up on June 12th.

I nominate Deep Six by Clive Cussler.



A deadly tide of poison flows into ocean waters. A ghost ship drifts across the empty northern Pacific. A luxury Soviet liner blazes into a funeral pyre. The Presidential yacht cruises the Potomac night—and the President disappears without a trace.

Dirk Pitt takes on a sinister Asian shipping empire in an intercontinental duel of nerves. In his most dangerous, fast-paced adventure, he fights to save the US government—and to seize one desperate moment of revenge!

I nominate Wicked Deceit by Chase Austin
I read the prequel and it had plenty of action.

Here's the blurb:
What do you do when your own President wants you dead?
You call Sam Wick.

Task Force-77 (TF-77) is a black ops team of NSA and the US Military. This is the team, the U.S. government calls when it needs to get people out of the most dangerous places on earth.

Sam Wick. Task Force 77's best. Master Extractor. Perfect Assassin. Where the government cannot and will not go, he will.

His mission: Extract Carlos Cruz-Diez—a New York Times reporter from the clutches of death.

Location: Venezuela Consulate in Vienna, Austria.

The Obstacle: Venezuela’s National Intelligence Service has sent sixteen of their best to execute this mission.

Timeline: Twenty-four hours.

Time is running out. Bullets are flying. Bodies are piling up. Nothing is as it seems.

Will Sam Wick succeed?

Hi I will nominate the Day Vinci Code

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

The link on the bottom of page is broken for Iphones and could not find that in the group page for past reads. So please include where the past reads can be found..

The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery thriller novel by Dan Brown. It is Brown's second novel to include the character Robert Langdon: the first was his 2000 novel Angels & Demons.

Book format ranges between $4 - 10 bucks and the electronic formats I was able to cut a paste from Google.
