Hello, I'm new to this entire goodreads thing. I am currently reading The Hit, which is the second Will Robie book by David Baldacci. I look forward to discussing with everyone.
Welcome, David! I too, am reading The Hit I'm about halfway through it.
I enjoyed The Innocent (this months group read) so much I bought the second one in the series and starting reading it.

Think of us as "The Four Horsmen of Prophetic TV and Movie Appocolypse."
Isn't that special?

@Hero, I have become a big mystery fan and I love guessing whodunnit.
@David, love the Will Robie series!
I am reading
as well. I am loving it.....Would make a super good movie, but I guess they would have to film
first.Still reading
as well,and the digital library just let me know that
is available for me as well. Plus, I want to get back to
and to get started on the 1st Matt Helm action thriller:
.I need time, much MORE time to get to all of these plus hundreds of others.........

Hi David, happy reading. Let me know which one you like best. Also, is The Hit a sequel to The Innocent?
Welcome, Adite!Yes, The Hit is the second book in the series. I've read them both and I enjoyed them equally. Will definitely continue with the series.

Thanks, Eileen! :)
Hi folk. I am always a fan of a good action/adventure story. I am usually reading one and listening to one. Currently I am reading
by Nathan M. Farrugia and listening to
by Matthew Reilly. I am enjoying both very much.

by Nathan M. Farrugi and listening to Area 7 (Shane Schofield, #2) by Matthew Reilly. I am enjoying both very much. "
Tim, I haven't read The Serphim Sequence, but the first book of the series The Chimera Vector has been on my to-read list for quite a while. You'll have to let us know how you like it. I have read Area 7 and it was a definite winner with me!
Mod
Hello Tim and Adite, welcome to the group! Sorry I'm a bit late to welcome you guys, but better late than... :P Anyway, to Adite, I've recently read The Innocent and currently almost finished with The Hit...And I found them both to be equally engrossing and entertaining (Well, Innocent a bit more than Hit if we keeping score), so I can wholeheartedly recommend to you both!To Tim, I just very recently found out about Nathan Farrugia's Fifth Column series, and both of the books look like my kind of thriller. Already collected The Chimera Vector, and hope to read it soon!
Looking forward to hear from both of you in our daily discussions!
Thanks for the welcome. I have now finished both the Nathan Farrugia books, The Chimera Vector and Seraphim Squence. I enjoyed both of them. Here are my reviews. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... and http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...I am almost finished Event by David Lynn Golemon. I did not know he existed until a few days ago. Event is great. Great action adventure with Sci Fi I have read in a while. This may become a new favorite series for me.

Hello! I've been gradually joining GR groups with a focus on the various genres I enjoy reading. Today, is Thiller / Action Adventure / Suspense day. Hee, hee. I'm open to venues in which I can find new reads to add to my nook. :D

Hi. I'm a new member to this group. Addicted to reading. Love thrillers, but read all sorts of genres. I know females don't usually like action books and movies. But I do. I'm a Goodreads author. LEON'S LAIR

Welcome Phoenix. I'm glad you found the group. I read just about any genre, and, I really like the good old "action/adventure" books, as well as thrillers etc. (and there are a lot of females yet to come out of the closet as action lovers I think.) welcom to the group and if you have any questions, feel free to ask, one of us Moderator types will do our best to help you and if we can't, I've found that the rest of the group knows more than I ever thought I knew... and that's a lot because I used to have a fairly elevated and inflated opinion of myself and what I know.
Again, welcome!
Thank you for the warm welcome. I had to laugh about "females coming out of the closet," liking the action adventure books and movies. Yep, that's me. I even wrote one, with the help of my male co-writer (and hubby). I love them all: Clive Cussler, Lee Child, Tom Clancy, Baldacchi, etc. I think I will enjoy this group.
Welcome, Phoenix!I'm proud to say, I'm a female whose been "out of the closet" for years when it comes to action movies and books! : ) Why hide in the closet from all those intelligent, good looking men?

Um... do you mean other readers or... men of a ficticious nature?
Of course.... my first thought was of my fellow readers. Could be....those men of the ficticiuos nature come in a close second.
Mod
For us girls it's kind of like being the male on a cheerleading squad. :)

LOL!

I kind of thought it might be like The Big Bang Theory (TV) ... you know... pretty girl... room full of geeks and Nerds...
But, I like your comparison better.

Both of them got the bug by reading Andy McDermott.

I love A/A but need a plot and some suspense. I am hated and despised by movie loving friends and family because I can guess plot twists and sometimes even dialogue because movies have become so predictable. Even when I don't say anything, they look over at me and say "I guess you knew that was going to happen too..."
Yes it is indeed a curse.
