Hey, Brittany, we're glad to have you here. Thank you for joining us. Do you have a favorite author or series? (what are you reading now?)
Hi Everyone!!! I'm so excited to join this group!! I'm in love with all of James Rollins books I've read a couple of them twice and thinking of giving the whole collection a go again!!! I've read some Clive Cussler he's a pretty good fall back. I've also read some Lee Child I mean how can you not when where ever you go there people reading Lee Child. I haven't read Preston or Reilly so if someone can give me some suggestions on where to start with either of these authors that would be great!!My newest favourite has to be Noah Boyd. I highly suggest both his books Bricklayer and Agent X to everyone.
I think I've said enough for now but I look forward to getting to know everyone and the discussions!!!
Amy
Welcome, I just started Reilly, and I'm enjoying the heck out of it! (watch out for the killer whales!)
I'm also a Cussler and Rollins fan too (and Ludlum). It's great having you here. Jump right in!

My name is Pax and I'm an Adrenaholic. Room responds, "Hi Pax!"
It all started about thirty years ago when i picked up a Mack Bolan paperback. That led to Phoenix Force, which led to Ian Flemming which led, which led, which led. Now here I am with all of you. Please be kind.
All time Favs- Shibumi by Trevanian, Tactics of Mistake by Gordon R. Dickson.
Favorite action adventure series- The Traveler series by DB Drumm (suspect it was written by multiple authors.)
Hello!
Thanks everyone that welcome me! @ Hugh no right now I dont have a favorite aurthor or anything I just read random books. Right now I'm waiting for a book come through mail should be here by monday called Wolf Hunt: The Burning Agesby Sebastian P. Breit. Has anyone read it before? It sounds really intresting I can't wait to read it!!!
I haven't heard about it, but I'm interested. Let us know how it goes. If your interested in ideas to read, let us know. I'm looking up Wolf Hunt: The Burning Ages, what have you heard about it?
This is what the preview says "2024. The world we know is crumbling. A devastating war in the Persian Gulf has left the global economy in ruins, and civilization itself is beginning to crack under the strain. When a war-weary task force of NATO ships races against time and a rival fleet to prevent Brazil's descent into a murderous civil war, their mission is unexpectedly upset by a mysterious tempest. Thrown back in time, Captains Steven Flynn and Florian Hallwinter with their crews emerge in the year 1940 as the world is gripped in the fires of World War Two.Presented with the opportunity to change both past and future for the better, they find themselves drawn into a maelstrom of conflicting interests. While overcoming the suspicion of their natural allies of the time proves harder than they imagined, they soon discover that even the best intentions carry the seeds of doom. For whereas Flynn is American, Hallwinter and his crew are from Germany...
Wolf Hunt is as much about the journey of these two similar yet different groups of men to change history itself as it is about the clashes—and the clash of cultures which ensues—along the way. For the Americans, it's about witnessing a place that calls itself America—the America of the 'Greatest Generation' even—but which culturally and socially is rather alien to the place they know. For the Germans, it's as much a story about clashing head-on with their nightmares as it is a quest for national redemption." Sounds like a crazy book to me which I love. Any book that sounds like tons of surprises in it or makes you think about the past or future I'm into.
That sounds COOL as sh..er.. very cool (and I've already looked it up and put it on my TBR list.
That sounds really good. Thank you for bringing it here.
I've read The Wolf's Hour which is also very cool but that sound exciting. "Crazy book" too.

Hello everyone. Joined goodreads recently and still updating my booklist. Just noticed this discussion and wanted to say Hi. I am an omnivore when it comes to books but I can take a bit more blood and gore.
Hello Gokan, welcome. If you're looking for Blood and Gore, try J A Konrath's Trapped, or Endurance. His "Jack Daniels" series is pretty good to and has some vicious murderous scum in it.
There is a Horror Action Adventure thread too. You can share and maybe find something on it that's worth reading too.
Your welcome Gokahn. Afriad and Disturbed are two more horror books by J A Konrath who also writes under the name Jack Kilborn.
Welcome Brittany, Gokahn.
Hi Pax. I was a big Mack Bolan fan back in the early '70s (just about the time I went into the army). After Pendleton stopped writing them I lost interest. And of course I read Fleming back in Jr. high (I think they call that middle school now). Never read Phoenix Force. I'll look them up.

Welcome Emmanuel. You might want to look at some of the other threads in this group. There's a lot of discussion about Books by James Rollins and Clive Cussler. And I've just started to read the "Scarecrow" books by Riely.
If your looking for some suggestions, I'd be glad to toss some ideas your way, or you can just pull them from discussion here.
I'm glad your into reading. People here get excited about books too. Welcome.

Welcome to all the new members. I am already getting some great suggestions. We're glad you joined!
Welcome Emmanuel. Enjoy.
You know, I could never get into Clive Cussler. My late wife enjoyed his stuff, but somehow it just left me cold. We can't always agree.

Hello everyone! I am Spencer Brokaw and I am 12 years old. I have recently published an action/adventure ebook available on Kindle, Smashwords, nook, and iBooks. Next week it will be available in paperback. It is called
I have a blog http://www.spencerbrokaw.com and I love reading action books.
Hi, I'm DM Coffman. Ever wonder what really happened when the top-secret US spy plane collided mid-air with a Chinese fighter jet over Hainan Island in the South China Sea? It happened on Sunday, April Fools' Day in 2001. What was the US spy plane really doing there? Did you know that the US spy plane can carry 24 soldiers in full gear? And why did China wait so long to report the incident? Why were the news reports so conflicting with US news? Check out my fictional account of The Hainan Incident, based on my personal experiences while living there for 4 years.

Call me an old fogey but I don't recall even thinking about publishing a book at 12.
Feel free to put your book on our shelf D.M. It sound svery interesting. Thank you. I actually knows a guy that was on the Navy Plane that the Chinese forced down a few years ago. I think it was an E2 Hawkeye, Not that he's telling me much about it. I'll have to read yours.
