Looking for something to read?

I highly recommend Brad Thor's Path of the Assassin. This is the second book in a series about secret service agent Scott Harvath. The first in the series was called The Lions of Lucerne. These books are something like a cross between Dan Brown's writing and the Bourne series of movies. They're fast-paced thrillers set in fantastic International venues.

I enjoyed The Lions of Lucernce, but I liked Path of the Assassin even better. Within just a few pages I found myself drawn into the story in such a way that I was unable to put the book down. And with the short-chapter format, I found myself constantly saying "just one more chapter". I read it three sittings in two days.

If you haven't read Brad Thor yet, I highly recommend his writing. You're getting into a series, though, just so you know. There are already five books in the series, if I'm reading Amazon.com correctly.
