Is that the one made into a movie years and years ago? Great movie! Haven't read the book.

They are a series of books. They used 2 or 3 to combine to make the movie out of. As to the series, they are an acquired taste, and you either love love LOVE the mood of each book, or reading one or two is more than enough. I read about 8 of them and enjoyed them.

Thanks. I have started the first one but it isn't a smooth read so far. The writing style doesn't seem to click. It feels unnecessarily wordy but it could just be me.

Red Sky Mourning by Jack Carr. The entire series is excellent.

If you like Brad Taylor, Ben Coes, Mark Greaney or Tom Clancy, check him out.

Next up is probably the new Nick Petrie book.

The "unnecessarily wordy" part is the style that polarizes people reading the books...I struggled initially, then noticed that the actions sequences were fairly vivid in my mind as a result...but that's where people either love or dislike the books...

Yes, wonderful books. It is particularly male oriented which may or may not be your cup of tea.

Same could be said of Dickens or Scott. I think it’s worth trying to get through one book. If you still do t like then you know it’s not for you.
