[The Happy Locust]

A trip to Borders and I now have my books for the next few months.

Picked up the rest of the Night angel trilogy, the sequels to the Way of shadows book I mentioned previously.

Picked up the first of the Chronicles of The Necromancer: The Summoner. looked interesting and if it works for me, will pick up the rest of the set.

And on the subject of the undead, also now have the Zombie Survival guide to kill time with.

Love that book! I've had it in my in my back back I take to school and work for the past 5 years!

My girlfriend is taking a class in university which studies Tolkien. Back in high school, I read a lot of his work, and really enjoyed it. For xmas she got me a copy of The Children Of Huirin! Can't wait to finish my current book and dig in!

I recently read "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin. I will probably read the rest of his "A Song of Fire and Ice" soon.

I've been reading Warhammer 40K books recently, focusing mainly on the Space Marines. I'm currently working through the Ultramarines Omnibus. So far it's a good read.

Time to plug my current favorite suspense/thriller writer Duane Swierczynski. He’s a master of violence & mania. I’m a huge fan of his novels and comics.

Start off with The Blonde, a screwball spy thriller. Jack Eisley meets a mysterious woman in a bar who claims to have poison his drink. Unless she can keep someone within ten feet of her at all times, she'll die. And if he wants the antidote, he must help her out while a government agent hunts her down.



Severance Package.
Then move onto my favorite Swierczynski book Severance Package, an absolute roller coaster of a novel. What happens when you discover your co-workers are actually black op CIA assassins at your dead end job and your boss tries to kill you? Jamie DeBroux hates his job at a financial service company. One day at a meeting, Jamie's boss reveals he is forced to close the office and must kill everyone. The company is a front for a black ops organization and everyone is actually a secret agent/super spy except for Jamie. It takes place over two hours and on one office floor but it's total mayhem.

Severance Package is so much fun. Not to sound like a Hollywood agent but it's literally Die Hard meets And Then There Were None. I can literally see these movies being directed by Guy Ritchie or Quieten Tarantino.



Duane also has some non-fiction books. I love his The Complete Idiot's Guide to Frauds, Scams, & Cons and The Spy's Guide: Office Espionage. Fun reads and I suppose practical if you plan on committing crimes.




Duane is also contributing to the GI Joe: Tales from the Cobra War anthology and earlier this year, GI Joe: Cobra Special #2 had the entire novella in it. It combines several things I love: car chases, explosions, and GI Joe. Love it.

Mass Effect: Retribution-A pretty good Mass Effect novel.


Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne-The first prequel novel reveals a lot of Loghain's backstory and explains his hatred of Orlais and shows his first meeting and early adventures with King Maric. There is also hint that Maric might be Morrigan's father which would make her Alistair's half-sister (or cousin maybe depending on how you look at it) and if you have played the game with a female character then you know what I'm talking about.
I'm not 100% sure about it though.

Dragon Age: The Calling-Second prequel reveals how the Grey Wardens return to Ferelden trying to capture a renegade Warden and Duncan becomes the leader of Ferelden Grey Wardens. I haven't read it myself but it's supposed to explain on things stated in The Warden's Keep DLC and Dragon Age: Origins-Awakening.

I've been reading Warhammer 40K books recently, focusing mainly on the Space Marines. I'm currently working through the Ultramarines Omnibus. So far it's a good read.

Ah, the trials and tribulations of the venerable Captain Uriel Ventris! Awesome stuff. Hurry up and read, cause' next in the series is "The Killing Ground", followed by "Courage and Honor". I believe that yet another Ultramarines title has surfaced in hardcover as well.

I finished WH40K Fallen Angels and started on Warriors: Omen of the Stars-"The fourth apprentice" since it FINALLY came out in paperback. And Winds of Dune sits patiently on my shelf waiting for me to finish.

Those books look intriguing, SC. Might have to give them a try. However, my next book will most likely be The Lincoln Lawyer, but I'll see the movie first. I know, books are usually better than the movies, but that's why I want to see the movie first. If I read the book, I'll know EVERYTHING. But movies usually leave out a decent amount of info, so the book should still be a good read.
