Welcome Henry. We're glad to have you. Your book looks really interesting.

We had a group read not to long featuring Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini and I loved Dudley Pope's Ramage.

Sounds like my kind of story. Welcome to A/A, Henry.

[Sean]

Hi new member, I am from Jersey in the Channel Islands, love Lee Childs, John Grisham, Linwood Barclay, Harlan Coben, Chris Ryan, Karin Slaughter and David Baldacci

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Welcome, Sean.

Ty, I deleted your introduction post because we have specific rules about self-promotion. You are welcome to re-introduce yourself without the promotion.

[Eileen]

Welcome, Sean!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Welcome Sean! That's a great list, man! (I like it).l

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Welcome Alessio! We're glad to have you join us.

By the way... I was stationed in Naples for 3 years when I was in the Navy. I'm not much of a translator and gave it up when the Man at the AGIP station asked me to stop trying to speak Italian because he could understand my English better.

I still chuckle about that. Welcome aboard!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Welcome, Alessio!

[Lisa P, My weekend is all booked up!]

I've been away for a while...Welcome to the group Karen, Henry, Sean, and Alessio!

[Magiccats]

Hi, I read a variety of genres but my favorite is the action / adventure novels. I like Preston/ Child - just finished "Impact" , James Rollins, Cussler and others. I am reading a book by Sarah Wisseman right now. I thought I would try this group as the other one I belong to seems to be immersed in romance right now and to be truthful, I am weary of the romance books. Lol.
I find reading the action/adventure to be better even than watching tv and for the life of me don't understand why they don't convert more of these books into movies on the big screen.
Hoping to find more comrades with similar tastes and be introduced to new books and authors through this group of like souls. Looking forward to participating.

[Travis]

I'm Travis and my favorite author is James Rollins. Love the sigma series.

Halloo~ :) Welcome!

[Joan]

I read several genres and one of my favorites is adventure. I really like Clive Cussler, recently discovered Andy McDermott and am looking for others. I write mysteries, and haven't tried to do an adventure novel. Maybe that will be next. I just self-published a police procedural/thriller that was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. The Hierophant, written under the name J. K. Maze

Any suggestions of adventure authors would be welcome.

Joan K. Maze

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

welcome Joan. We're a lot of multi-genre enjoyers here. It's good to see you here. I liked McDermott's Atlantis story.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Welcome, Joan!

My two favorites, still, are two of the 'originals' in this genre ... Alastair MacLean and Desmond Bagley. If you haven't already read them, they are both excellent.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I'd say yes, there's a lot of positive feelings for James Rollins, both his Sigma Force Novels an his stand alones. If you like modern fantasy (mosters, vampires, werewolves etc.) Monster Hunter Interntational is developing a big following and, there is a lot of action and adventure in those books.

[Eileen]

Welcome, Magiccats, Travis and Joan!

@Magiccats, I think that all the time. I wish they would make more movies out of the action books I read.


I'll second, Monster Hunter International!

Welcome, Joan. The Heirophant looks interesting.

I am not crazy about McDermott. I think he should remember some basic facts of physics--like water only runs downhill. ;-) But he spins a fine tale.

I like some Cusslers. Depends on who the co-author is. I especially like his 'Issac Bell' series, particularly 'The Chase.' I believe he wrote that one by himself.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Welcome to Travis and Magiccats. My eyes totally missed your intro!

Welcome, HelloKittyJedi!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Yea, welcome Travis and Magiccats...how could we miss Magic Cats? welcome, glad you guys are here too!.

I'm on the library list for The Tombs. Very interested to see how this reads as I like some but not all of the Cusslers and some of Thomas Perry's books are on my "love and re-read often" list.

[Renee]

Hi, my name is Renee. I really enjoy Goodreads and am happy about reading groups. I love action/thrillers among many others... James Rollins & Matthew Reilly are a couple of favorites and just read the first Jack Reacher novel by Lee Childs- loved it.

[Eileen]

Hello and Welcome, Renee!

[Sharon]

Welcome, Renee. I've read some of all of those, but have to admit for re-reading, I tend to go back to my early favorites in the genre ... Desmond Bagley and Alastair MacLean.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Welcome Renee! Glad your here. Im a fan of "The Killing Floor" too, you might like The Sentry by Robert Crais (Joe Pike #1)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Welcome, Renee!

[Lisa]

Hi, my name is Lisa Moreno, and I'm a new Goodreads author. This group looks like the perfect fit for me. I'm fascinated by psychological thrillers that stir the mind. I've been trapped in writer's mode too long. I love reading good books and need to get back into being a happy reader. "Beneath the Dark Ice" sounds intriguing, and I'm looking forward to reading it! Thank you, Lisa

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Hi Lisa, welcome. We're glad you here. Dark ice is a fun read. If you check out the discussion threads, you may also get a lot of good ideas for reads. And of course, if you run out of ideas, most of us here have our favorites and we'll gladly share which books those are with you.

[Eileen]

I'm happy to be part of this group. Thank you for the "Welcome".

Welcome, Lisa. Definitely dive into the discussion for Beneath the Dark Ice, when you get a chance!

[David]

Hi, folks.

My name is David and I've been reading and writing horror and fantasy for a while, but now I'm hoping to add more action books to my shelves. I enjoy Tom Clancy, Louis L'Amour, James Clavell, and Michael Chrichton, but I hope to find more authors here.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Welcome, David!
