LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1) Sargasso by Edwin Corley: The Sargasso Sea, the Bermuda Triangle, and an interesting
possible solution to the Triangle mystery. Pretty good adventure story.

2) The Thomas Berryman Number by James Patterson: An early work by the creator of
Alex Cross. It's a good thing that he came up with Alex Cross, this was a somewhat confusing
story of murder and politics that was hard to follow at times.

3) What If? vol.1 by Richard Lupoff,ed: Not at all what I thought when I bought it. Assumed
it was an alternate history collection; instead it turns out it's the editor's concept of stories
that should have one the Hugo award but didn't. After reading them, I don't think most of them should have won instead of the actual winners.

4) Velocity by Dean Koontz: Billy Wiles gets a note and has to decide which of 2 unknown people
lives and which one doesn't. From there it escalates until Billy fights back. Excellent
Koontz book, possibly one of his better ones.

5) A Pirate Looks At Fifty by Jimmy Buffett: Yes he does, and then writes this travelogue/memoir. And a fascinating one it is, not only can the man write songs, but
he can just plain write.

6) 3rd Degree by James Patterson: Lindsay Boxer vs home grown terrorists in this one.
SPOILER ALERT: In this one - one of the murder club women dies.
