Finished: Arc Light by Eric L Harry

I love the books of Eric L Harry. They are well written, well researched & it is so easy to become immersed in the story. You become invested in what is going to happen to the characters as they battle their way through life. Or in the case of this book, as they fight for their life.

Arc Light tells the story of the Third World War - a limited nuclear exchange followed by the invasion & conquering of Russia by the TEAMS alliance ( basically the NATO countries minus a few). It is brilliantly written and the descriptions of the various fights and explosions helps you to feel that you are right there, experiencing what the characters are doing.

Continuing: A Song of Fire & Ice by George RR Hamilton

I have a new Kindle so can go back to reading this! Yay!

Finished: The Independence of Miss Mary Bennett by Colleen McCullough

I love this book - it's all about the OTHER Bennett sisters in the aftermath of Elizabeth's marriage to Darcy. It focuses primarily on Mary - the middle sister. An advantage of this wonderful story is that you don't need to have been a fan or even have read Pride & Prejudice. Mary is truly a woman ahead of her time. Perhaps there is a little of the wonderful author in Mary!

Eric L Harry only wrote a few books. If you haven't heard of him or read any of his books, you are missing out!
