And his grandfather has one more surprise for him. Sewn in to the endpaper of the journal is a strange piece of Nazi symbolism. This simple discovery will launch him on a breathless chase across Europe and deep into Germany's dark past. There are some who will kill to find that which is lost, and although he doesn't know it, Saintclair holds the key to its hiding place.

Til tross for en del umuligheter likte jeg denne korte boka. 0.99 US$ paa Amazon. Historien var bra og boka var ikke saa verst skrevet. Jeg leser glatt flere fra denne forfatteren. At China har lyst aa dominere South China Sea er jo slik det er i virkeligheten. Saa noe lignende kan jo faktisk skje ?

China seeks to dominate the South China Sea and the East China Sea, and claim all deposits of natural gas, oil and other natural resources for China. Their desires conflict with the interests of Philippines and Japan. The Philippines is unable to stand, toe to toe, with China’s military power. A seeks a way to resist Chinese aggression, a way to fight back. It finds a way — the only way it can.

Japan without any tactical nuclear weapons must find a way to stand, toe to toe, with China’s tactical nuclear weapons. China seeks revenge from old hatreds inflicted on China by Japan during the second WWII. Japan must break its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Agreement to withstand Chinese aggression.

A Japanese-American naval academy graduate kills the submarine's crew. Then commandeers the America Navy’s most powerful nuclear submarine The USS Hercules and brings it to the aid of Japan. The US Navy must recovery its nuclear submarine before it causes a nuclear war. But they don’t know who has commandeered “The Hercules” or where is it.

China’s Prime Minister is determined that China’s should be respected. Because its economy is almost the world’s largest, it’s the most populous country in the world. Their army is the world’s largest, its Air Force is very capable and its Navy is growing every year. China now demands respect and sovereign over the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

China’s Three Gorges Dam is destroyed and China seeks revenge. Toyko is set afire and nuclear missiles fly. A Chinese businessman launches a risky conspiracy to halt events before they tumble out of control and China travels a path of destruction, a route it has taken so many in the past.

Helt enig med din beskrivelse. For min del vil jeg si Stephen King er som god vin, han blir bare bedre og bedre med aarenee. OK, av og til dukker det opp ei flaske med korksmak. Men de siste par boekene hans viser at han er tilbake for fullt.

IT, The Stand, og selvfoelgelig boka om tidsreisen tilbake til 1963 for aa hindre mordet paa Kennedy staar for meg som hans mesterverk.

My all time favourite writer

Hva kan jeg si, en serie som har action saa det holder, fra ende til annen. Billig i innkjoep i tillegg. Les den hvis du liker action og adventure. Her er det mer enn nok. En 5 paa terningkastet for denne

Book 6 in the Matt Drake series. These books should be read in the correct order. A last stand is coming – a battle of battles. Matt Drake and the SPEAR team return in a brand new action-packed adventure! When Drake is captured and sent to a remote Russian prison, little does he know that the last remaining member of the Shadow Elite has already set in motion a reckless, uncompromising plan to control or destroy all life on Earth. The battle for the survival of the human race begins in ancient Babylon, where Alexander the Great discovered and warned of a second way to activate Odin’s doomsday device. His solution was to forge seven swords of Babylon and connect them to the Tower of Babel. Drake's team enter a deadly race to find and discover how to use these swords to combat the catastrophically powerful weapon of the gods before it's too late. If they fail and the doomsday device is activated, the world will burn. Through high camaraderie, betrayal, and endless twists and turns, the team launch a rescue attempt for Drake, then face skirmishes in Russia’s Red Square, and fights among the ruins of Babylon until they come to a final desperate battle where all three tombs and the darkest black hole in existence – the ancient Pit of Babylon – have to be assaulted simultaneously. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Ikke helt min stil, men en utrolig sterk historie. Og slike ting skjer jo jevnt over i det store utland, heldigvis ikke for mange slike saker. Saa jeg ender opp paa en 4 paa terningen, kun paa grunn av den sterke historien.

"...there's nothing better than a book by [C.M.] Gleason!" --Robyn Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Bond meets The Da Vinci Code but with higher stakes!"
"If you like Andy McDermott or Matthew Reilly, get this book."

A new agency, a new era, and Matt Drake goes head to head with the government of North Korea. Whilst en route to investigate an assassination threat, Drake and Mai Kitano are blown out of the skies and cast adrift in a storm-tossed ocean before being marooned on a deserted island.

Back home, the clock is ticking, but the deadly jigsaw puzzle of events refuses to fit together. Assassins stalk the streets of Washington DC. Civilians are being murdered by ordinary-seeming Americans turned expert killers for no apparent reason.

Hayden and her team search for the fateful link between five total strangers. Mai tries to almost single-handedly capture the enemy island, and Drake storms his way over land from North Korea and across China and Europe, destroying a human trafficking ring as he goes.

And as the pieces finally come together and time is running out the new team are thrust into a literal race against time, a deadly interstate contest of vehicular warfare, where only the hardest, fastest and most capable men and women will make it out alive.

Though it could be the biggest find of her career, Marina fears there is a connection to her grandfather—the patriarch of a Siberian tribe and eco-terrorist group—and that he will draw her back into the fold.

Meanwhile, it’s clear the eco-terrorists are planning a new attack on U.S. soil, for they leave a trail of dead bodies and injuries in their wake…leading up to something far-reaching and deadly.

From the ancient copper mines of Northern Michigan, to the suburbs of Chicago, the thick, humid rainforest of Ecuador, and a hidden temple deep in the Amazon jungle, Amazon Roulette will have readers on the edge of their collective seats as Marina races against time to stop her family from its destructive plan.

Ubaat bok, spion bok, charm school - jo denne boka hadde det meste, og klinker til med en 6 paa terningen hos meg. Technothriller i topp klasse

Jeg synst faktisk denne var meget brukbar og koste meg en 3-4 timer med aa faa den unna. Jeg strekker meg faktisk opp til en 5 paa terningen.

Ideen og historien er bra. Men ikke fullt saa bra skrevet, av og til er det noen merkelige hopp i handlingen. Men det er potensial i denne forfatteren.En sterk 3 er det jeg strekker meg til

temaet var for saavidt interressant, men jeg synst boken ble kjedelig. Kun en 3 paa terningen fra meg.

Helt grei bok.
