I like a good adventure thriller mystery type book which probably covers most
Check out Denzil Meyrick's DCI Daley books also if you like Jack Reacher go and read Mark Dawson's John Milton books they are superb

Into the black is what I'm reading currently all about the development of the space shuttle. Didn't realise it was all started back when Apollo xiii was launched. Another interesting piece was how the computers were all early 70s hardware and were a massive 104k of memory. They had six on board plus mag tapes for all the mission profiles. The attention to detail was staggering.

I've read most of the Jack Reacher books and yeah they are all very samey. I just wish for once he'd get beat up .
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Same here Towk but this last one rambled on and on a wee bit
Check out Mark Dawson especially the John Milton books helps if you read them in order but not entirely necessary

The Spider Shepherd books by Stephen Leather are excellent if you like Reacher. Also Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series are great reads

Flynns books stand alone though there are some personal details that jump about if you read them in wrong order. I could send some epub files if you want

I'm currently reading Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
It's fascinating but I'm having to read most paragraphs a few times for it to register fully.

Now onto Vietnam by max Hastings, bit dry and draws on a lot of previous writings by others. Forgotten voices of the Falklands war is excellent. Another I've just finished was Cod,itsall about the role the fish has played throughout history and was both well written and exceptionally interesting for such a bizarre subject manner.

Just finished that myself tonight, really good read, although I have been swearing like a Leither since I started reading it. On the back of that I just bought A Decent Ride by Irvine Welsh, which is about Juice Terry

Currently on Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges by Anthony Beevor. Excellent as always.
Shrek Par, have you read other books by Max Hastings? I haven't done so myself so just wondering if I should or not. He certainly writes on subjects that interest me.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Beevor writes better and has more substance and research to his books . Hastings tends to follow the well travelled road on any subject ,which is fine if you haven't read about the particular battle before but can be a bit repetitive if you have

I'm back to the start of the Roman legionnaires Macro and Cato series by Simon Scarrow. Lots of battles and good insight in how the soldiers worked and lived but not too heavy reading.
