Adapted from the short story by Richard Matheson, who also scripted, Duel sketches in a little bit of domestic tension in David’s backstory, just enough to give him a reason to defend himself. Here is VOLUME THREE of RICHARD MATHESON: COLLECTED STORIES. His knowledge of.practically everything is amazing! Pawnbroker is also spellbinding, and I'm looking forward to his next thriller, Unallocated Space. He's another southern writer, which makes his thrillers even more special to me. * Seven Unholy Days by Jerry Hatchett - I love Jerry's writing style. It's imaginative and smart, and I can't wait to read the next in the series. Another vampire book! This one is about a necromancer who slays vampires. I'm a vampire fan now! MFTI is really good, but MFTII is a lot better! Very hard to put down! And Elaine is a southern girl. I've never been much for vampires or erotica (though my books have some pretty graphic sex scenes), but Elaine's characters are so lovable and believable, and the storyline is so engrossing, they sucked me in. * Master For Tonight I & II by Elaine Barris - I edited both of these books. That, aside from being a really great thriller. * The Firm by John Grisham - Being from Alabama, I love that this book mentions places on our Gulf Coast. Gut wrenching and smart, with humor sprinkled throughout. * A Time to Kill by John Grisham - I love Grisham's sarcastic humor. Sienna, fearful of what the governments of the world might do with Zobrist’s technology, had not intended to release Inferno but to hide it.

As a result, the human population will decrease over time, thus avoiding what Zobrist saw as an inevitable environmental collapse. And since the virus embeds in the germline, it will also render one-third of unborn humans infertile as well. Dan Brown’s new novel, Inferno, features renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and is set in the heart of Europe, where Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centred around one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces. Remorseful, Sienna confesses that the Inferno virus will not kill billions but instead will randomly render one-third of the world’s population infertile. She almost escapes but turns back when she realizes she has nowhere else to go. When Langdon discovers that Sienna is also present in the cistern, he chases her across the city. They track Inferno to Istanbul’s ancient cistern, but they are too late, and the virus is released. Fearful that Sienna intends to release the plague on her own, Langdon joins Sinskey, Brüder, and the provost (who allies with the others following the discovery of Zobrist’s plot) in traveling to Istanbul, hoping to find Inferno before Sienna.

In this book, Stone Soup, three soldiers came marching down the road towards a French village. However, I must say it was delightfully refreshing that for the most part this novel remains a funny comedy, with these two facing off in some of the silliest cases imaginable. I was immediately put on edge with the worry that eventually these two must get involved in a courtroom drama, have a misunderstanding about a case, or somehow or other become enemies at some point in the game. Braden represents the prosecution Gabrielle the defense. Our lead characters start off with fun courtroom banter as opposing counsels for the Public Defenders office. When this novel first started I’ll admit I was slightly worried about what it would entail. Overall this was a light and fun read with a steamy side to boot. Can true love overcome a lack of privacy, interference by jealous rivals and the insanity of the criminal court system? Find out in the book that reviewers called a “Stand-out Romantic Comedy.” Together Gabrielle and Braden discover that the path to true love is not always smooth, and is sometimes tread upon by some really wacky people like crazy ex-girlfriends, kinky politicians and a gentleman who throws a wine and cheese party in his pants. Gabrielle Ginsberg is a public defender with plenty of nerve and Braden Pierce is an assistant district attorney with a whole lot of swagger. Constantly going toe-to-toe certainly heats things up a bit! The courtroom antics of our lead characters are like foreplay. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson's inventiveness within the Gothic tradition: 'Olalla', a tale of vampirism and tainted family blood, and 'The Body Snatcher', a gruesome fictionalisation of the exploits of the notorious Burke and Hare. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with the 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.
