Excerpt: John Michael Crichton (rhymes with frighten; October 23, 1942 - November 4, 2008), best known as Michael Crichton, was an American author, producer, director, and screenwriter, best known for his work in the science fiction, medical fiction, and thriller genres. His books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide, and many have been adapted into films. In 1994, Crichton became the only creative artist ever to have works simultaneously charting at #1 in television, film, and book sales (with ER, Jurassic Park, and Disclosure, respectively). His literary works are usually based on the action genre and heavily feature technology. His novels epitomize the techno-thriller genre of literature, often exploring technology and failures of human interaction with it, especially resulting in catastrophes with biotechnology. Many of his future history novels have medical or scientific underpinnings, reflecting his medical training and science background. He was the author of, among others, Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Travels, Sphere, Rising Sun, Disclosure, The Lost World, Airframe, Timeline, Prey, State of Fear, Next (the final book published before his death), Pirate Latitudes (published November 24, 2009), and a final unfinished techno-thriller, Micro, scheduled to be published in November 2011.

The Vault must be sealed, but a construction accident leads to a miraculous discovery--an ancient tomb containing four Templar Knights, long forgotten, on the grounds of the Vatican.

Phillips"<br/>Published on by University Press of Kentucky</p><p>The conflicts of the Civil War continued long after the conclusion of the war: jockeys and Thoroughbreds took up the fight on the racetrack. A border state with a shifting identity, Kentucky was scorned for its violence and lawlessness and struggled to keep up with competition from horse breeders and businessmen from New York and New Jersey. As part of this struggle, from 1865 to 1910, the social and physical landscape of Kentucky underwent a remarkable metamorphosis, resulting in the gentile, beautiful, and quintessentially southern Bluegrass region of today. In her debut book, How Kentucky Became Southern: A Tale of Outlaws, Horse Thieves, Gamblers, and Breeders, former turf writer Maryjean Wall explores the post--Civil War world of Thoroughbred racing, before the Bluegrass region reigned supreme as the unofficial Horse Capital of the World. Wall uses her insider knowledge of horse racing as a foundation for an unprecedented examination of the efforts to establish a Thoroughbred industry in late-nineteenth-century Kentucky. Key events include a challenge between Asteroid, the best horse in Kentucky, and Kentucky, the best horse in New York; a mysterious and deadly horse disease that threatened to wipe out the foal crops for several years; and the disappearance of African American jockeys such as Isaac Murphy. Wall demonstrates how the Bluegrass could have slipped into irrelevance and how these events define the history of the state. How Kentucky Became Southern offers an accessible inside look at the Thoroughbred industry and its place in Kentucky history.</p><p>This Book was ranked <b>9</b> by Google Books for keyword Detective.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-45895633658054246502016-10-02T03:39:00.000-07:002016-10-02T03:39:08.585-07:00Vicious Circle<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0px" src="https://books.google.co.id/books?id=J2QiEkBtBaIC&lpg=PP1&hl=id&pg=PP1&output=embed" width=500 height=500></iframe><p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=J2QiEkBtBaIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>Vicious Circle<br/>By:"Wilbur Smith"<br/>Published on 2013-10-08 by Macmillan</p><p>Internationally bestselling author Wilbur Smith returns with Vicious Circle--a heart-racing story of family secrets, greed, and revenge.

Publishing</p><p>A dramatic shift is taking place in Israel and America. In Israel, the deepening occupation of the West Bank is putting Israeli democracy at risk. In the United States, the refusal of major Jewish organisations to defend democracy in the Jewish state is alienating many young liberal Jews from Zionism itself. In the next generation, the liberal Zionist dream, the dream of a state that safeguards the Jewish people and cherishes democratic ideals, may die. In The Crisis of Zionism, Peter Beinart lays out in chilling detail the looming danger to Israeli democracy and the American Jewish establishment's refusal to confront it. And he offers a fascinating, groundbreaking portrait of the two leaders at the centre of the crisis: Barack Obama, America's first 'Jewish president', a man steeped in the liberalism he learned from his many Jewish friends and mentors in Chicago; and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister who considers liberalism the Jewish people's special curse. These two men embody fundamentally different visions, not just of American and Israeli national interests, but of the mission of the Jewish people itself. Beinart concludes with provocative proposals for how the relationship between American Jews and Israel must change, and with an eloquent and moving appeal for American Jews to defend the dream of a democratic Jewish state before it is too late.</p><p>This Book was ranked <b>32</b> by Google Books for keyword Cleek's Government Cases.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-77099690918150585132016-09-29T03:39:00.002-07:002016-09-29T03:39:36.570-07:00Judging Edward Teller<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0px" src="https://books.google.co.id/books?id=XlkmmIHiS9UC&lpg=PP1&hl=id&pg=PP1&output=embed" width=500 height=500></iframe><p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=XlkmmIHiS9UC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>Judging Edward Teller<br/>By:"Istvan Hargittai"<br/>Published on by Prometheus Books</p><p>Foreword by Peter Lax, Recipient of the National Medal of Science and the Abel PrizeAfterword by Richard Garwin, Recipient of the National Medal of Science and the Enrico Fermi AwardMany people know Edward Teller as the Father of the H-Bomb. His name tends to generate extreme views. To his supporters he was a hero of the Cold War. To his detractors he was evil personified. Between these extremes was the life of the real man.In this definitive and comprehensive biography, Hungarian scientist Istvan Hargittai, a personal acquaintance of Teller's, presents a balanced portrait of the multifaceted and enigmatic scientist against the backdrop of a turbulent period of history. Taking pains to avoid bias and preconceptions, Hargittai critically examines Teller's personality, family background, and the experiences that guided his actions-correcting many of the myths that others and Teller himself promulgated.Drawing for the first time on hitherto unknown archival material from Hungarian, American, and German sources, the author provides fresh insights that help the reader to understand Teller's motivations, his relationships with friends and foes, and his driven personality. In addition to this research and his own memories of Teller, Hargittai has interviewed for this book such prominent figures as Richard Garwin, Freeman Dyson, George A. Keyworth, and Wendy Teller (Edward Teller's daughter), among others.Hargittai reviews the significant facets of Teller's life: his Jewish-Hungarian origins, forced emigrations, brilliance in science, and devotion to the defense of the United States. He also discusses Teller's ruthless Machiavellism in achieving his goals, which included his pivotal role in the creation of the hydrogen bomb and the second weapons laboratory at Livermore, as well as his damaging testimony against physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Teller's peers viewed this testimony as a betrayal and, in effect, sent him into internal exile, which Hargittai describes as more tormenting to him than his previous emigrations. The author notes that Teller was sometimes called a monomaniac with many manias, such as his fierce opposition to nuclear test bans during the Cold War and, toward the end of his life, his role as propagandist for the Strategic Defense Initiative. Yet, his very excesses may have in fact contributed to the demise of the Soviet Union.Who was Edward Teller-the real Dr. Strangelove, the driven crusader for the H-Bomb, the villain who destroyed Oppenheimer, or the devoted husband, loyal friend, patriot, and strongly idealistic scientist? This monumental work will reveal the contradictory nature of this complex man in all his strengths, flaws, and brilliance.Istvan Hargittai, PhD, DSc (Budapest, Hungary), is the author of several acclaimed books including the six-volume Candid Science series of interviews with famous scientists; The Road to Stockholm: Nobel Prizes, Science, and Scientists; The Martians of Science: Five Physicists Who Changed the Twentieth Century; and The DNA Doctor: Candid Conversations with James D. Watson. Dr. Hargittai is professor of chemistry at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and head of the George A Olah PhD School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

Hardacker"<br/>Published on 2014 by Skyhorse Publishing Inc.</p><p>When a sniper kills four people on Boston Common, Boston homicide detective Mike Houston and his partner Anne Bouchard are sent to investigate the case. Amidst the blood and terror, Houston discovers similarities, likenesses—the killer’s positioning, his choice of victims, and his code of ethics—between the crime scene and his own training as a US Marine scout and sniper. And with the staging of the scene set for prime shock value, Houston has to wonder what it is this murderer intends to accomplish. The connection is confirmed in the worst possible way when the sniper strikes again, this time killing Houston’s ex-wife, severing what’s left of the bond between Houston and his estranged daughter, Susie. It’s personal now, and as the death toll rises, Houston and Bouchard will stop at nothing to find the cold-blooded sniper who’s making a mockery of their department. In a final gesture of cat and mouse depravity, the killer kidnaps Susie, luring Houston to an island on a remote lake in Maine for a deadly, sniper-to-sniper showdown.</p><p>This Book was ranked <b>17</b> by Google Books for keyword Thriller Classics.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-43759344824058258972016-09-29T03:39:00.000-07:002016-09-29T03:39:06.947-07:00The Other Widow<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0px" src="https://books.google.co.id/books?id=pcGxCAAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&hl=id&pg=PP1&output=embed" width=500 height=500></iframe><p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=pcGxCAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>The Other Widow<br/>By:"Susan Crawford"<br/>Published on 2016-04-26 by HarperCollins</p><p>The author of The Pocket Wife explores the dark side of love, marriage, and infidelity in this sizzling novel of psychological suspense. Everybody’s luck runs out. This time it could be theirs . . . It isn’t safe. That’s what Joe tells her when he ends their affair—moments before their car skids off an icy road in a blinding snowstorm and hits a tree. Desperate to keep her life intact—her job, her husband, and her precious daughter, Lily—Dorrie will do everything she can to protect herself, even if it means walking away from the wreckage. Dorrie has always been a good actress, pretending to be someone else: the dutiful daughter, the satisfied wife, the woman who can handle anything. Now she’s going to put on the most challenging performance of her life. But details about the accident leave her feeling uneasy and afraid. Why didn’t Joe’s airbag work? Why was his car door open before the EMTs arrived? And now suddenly someone is calling her from her dead lover’s burner phone. . . . Joe’s death has left his wife in free fall as well. Karen knew Joe was cheating—she found some suspicious e-mails. Trying to cope with grief is devastating enough without the constant fear that has overtaken her—this feeling she can’t shake that someone is watching her. And with Joe gone and the kids grown, she’s vulnerable . . . and on her own. Insurance investigator Maggie Devlin is suspicious of the latest claim that’s landed on her desk—a man dying on an icy road shortly after buying a lucrative life insurance policy. Maggie doesn’t believe in coincidences. The former cop knows that things—and people—are never what they seem to be. As the fates of these three women become more tightly entwined, layers of lies and deception begin to peel away, pushing them dangerously to the edge . . . closer to each other . . . to a terrifying truth . . . to a shocking end.</p><p>This Book was ranked <b>24</b> by Google Books for keyword psycho thrillers.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-1672618211947885512016-09-28T03:39:00.001-07:002016-09-28T03:39:10.142-07:00Detective: Crime Stories<p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=4MZUBgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>Detective: Crime Stories<br/>By:"True Crime, Mystery Classics"<br/>Published on 101-01-01 by Butter Book Publishing</p><p>The very best in Action Adventure , Thrillers and Mystery Short stories.

Brand sets his footage of the aftermath of the incident aside to investigate a strange coincidence: two 100-Swiss-franc banknotes bearing the same serial number have come into his possession. Sensing an opportunity to graduate from celebrity journalism to serious investigation, he has the banknotes analysed, with bizarrely contradictory... and fatal results. Set in the tangled world of finance, politics and the media, Montecristo is a pacy conspiracy thriller full of betrayal and underhand tactics - a sharp and entertaining demonstration of the topical maxim that some banks are simply 'too big to fail'. 'Martin Suter's thriller plunges into the world of money and high society. So well researched that you can't help but reconsider the good old method of keeping your savings tucked away under the mattress' - GQ 'Taking visible pleasure in the plotting and detail, Martin Suter has created a smooth, character-rich play of intrigue which is easily understood despite the complex material, and has well-known names to vouch for its authenticity' - Neue Zurcher 'Martin Suter's gaze is fresh and wicked, his ear for dialogue infallible. Quite simply, his works are literary genius' - Die Wochenzeitung</p><p>This Book was ranked <b>9</b> by Google Books for keyword bestselling thriller.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-26364143342134835072016-09-27T03:39:00.000-07:002016-09-27T03:39:05.576-07:00Heartbroken<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0px" src="https://books.google.co.id/books?id=lZfz56gykbMC&lpg=PP1&hl=id&pg=PP1&output=embed" width=500 height=500></iframe><p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=lZfz56gykbMC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>Heartbroken<br/>By:"Lisa Unger"<br/>Published on 2012-06-26 by Broadway Books</p><p>A shattering new thriller about three women, strangers, on a heart-wrenching collision course none of them could have seen coming. Long after anyone expected Kate to do anything with her life, she did. Using the journals left behind by her aunt and grandmother, she wrote a novel based on a very real generation-old love story that ended in tragedy. On the other side of town, Emily is about to set fire to her life. She’s in a dead-end job and is involved with the wrong man; she can feel herself being drawn into darkness, with horrific consequences. With nowhere to go, she finds herself on the run. Without knowing each other, and with lives that couldn't be more different, Kate and Emily head to the same point on the map: Heart Island, an idyllic place in the middle of a lake in the Adirondacks, owned for generations by Birdie Burke's family. The harsh and unyielding Birdie is at one with this island, which has a terrifying history all its own. She, too, has consequences to face. Heartbroken is a tense, mesmerizing novel about the limits of dysfunctional families, of an island haunted by dark memories and restless ghosts, and of the all-too-real demons we must battle. Wonderfully suspenseful, exquisitely crafted, and written with raw, emotional power, this is Lisa Unger at her very best.</p><p>This Book was ranked <b>10</b> by Google Books for keyword bestselling thriller.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-28104262051985885512016-09-26T03:39:00.001-07:002016-09-26T03:39:09.342-07:00The Sewanee Review<p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NqM5AAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>The Sewanee Review<br/>By:<br/>Published on 1933 by </p><p></p><p>This Book was ranked <b>13</b> by Google Books for keyword Cleek's Government Cases.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-22153752898456838392016-09-26T03:39:00.000-07:002016-09-26T03:39:15.428-07:00Antiquarian Bookman<p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=VZQgAQAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>Antiquarian Bookman<br/>By:<br/>Published on 1967 by </p><p></p><p>This Book was ranked <b>12</b> by Google Books for keyword Cleek's Government Cases.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-55570479675676783382016-09-25T03:39:00.001-07:002016-09-25T03:39:02.338-07:00The Emerald City of Oz<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0px" src="https://books.google.co.id/books?id=BR5OBQAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&hl=id&pg=PP1&output=embed" width=500 height=500></iframe><p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=BR5OBQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>The Emerald City of Oz<br/>By:"L.

He introduced a number of activities in the field of elementary particles, with a special focus on the physics of cosmic rays, and important contributions in applied physics. This biography of Houtermans was written by Edoardo Amaldi and was almost finished just before his unexpected death in 1989. The editors have only corrected typographical errors and have introduced only minimal text changes in order to preserve the original content. Additionally they have collected and included unpublished pictures and memories from Houtermans’ students and collaborators. The text is the result of a thorough and intensive study on Houtermans’ life and character carried out by Edoardo Amaldi. It is more than a biography, since the figure of Houtermans is set in a historical perspective of Europe between the two world wars. This book will be of great interest to historians and historians of science.</p><p>This Book was ranked <b>30</b> by Google Books for keyword murdered physicist.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030223386376808212.post-85022119788305769352016-09-24T03:39:00.000-07:002016-09-24T03:39:15.306-07:00Encyclopedia of mystery and detection<p><img src="http://books.google.com/books/content?id=kUkV26Gm3r4C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api" align="center"></p><p>Encyclopedia of mystery and detection<br/>By:"Chris Steinbrunner","Otto Penzler"<br/>Published on 1976 by McGraw-Hill Companies</p><p></p><p>This Book was ranked <b>3</b> by Google Books for keyword Cleek's Government Cases.</p>Thank you for visiting my book reviews blog!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
