Deshi, by John Donahue. It's a follow up, with the same principal character, to Sensei, which came out last year. Great read and a well crafted martial arts thriller.

Pattern Recognition by William Gibson - very good
Crown of Slaves by David Weber/Eric Flint - pretty standard Honorverse stuff, much better than War of Honor.
HMS Surprise by Patrick O'Brian - just starting, but good stuff as usual.

Teeth of the Tiger by Tom Clancy
The Sword of Shannara, Terry Brooks. I hear it's a classic.
Slight change in topic, just slight.
I just finished reading "Men at Arms" by Terry Pratchett. I buy English language books well in advance since there are no bookstores in my city (in Japan) that sell them. So I have several to choose from for my next selection.
Here are the choices I am debating.
Soul Music By Pratchett.
The Final Prophecy (New Jedi Order) by Greg Keyes
Hard Rain by Barry Eisler
The Doublecross Program by Chris Bunch and
Star Swarm by Jerry Pournelle.
Some feedback would be welcome before I crack open my next fiction book.

Hi Don,
I would recommend anything by Chris Bunch. I love his Seer,Demon,Warrior King series..outstanding work. I'm really not that into the "swords and dragons" type of books,but he does a more "believable" job than most.
IMO,Terry Brooks is way overrated. Sorry,Fiesty. Check out George RR Martin's series for some good "fantasy" reading.

*Ahem*....which is a great way to remind me that *outstanding* is maybe not the best choice of words. Ah well....I enjoyed them.

Hard Rain by Eisler! Better than the first book in my opinion.
I really didn't like Star Swarm and I stopped reading the Star War universe books along time ago.

Well then I probably will go to Hard Rain in the near future. Oh, and I am on a mailing list with the author (hence me getting his first two books) and will probably be meeting up with him this summer. Gloat, gloat!!!!! I also have the Clancy novel rmcpeek mentioned.
All these books just waiting to be read... and that is only the begining of the potential. I think I have 50 or so novels waiting to be read. I am on page 61 on The Doublecross Program by Chris Bunch and loving the way it reminds me of his novel "The Wolf Worlds" along with Alan Cole. Thanks Paul B!!!! :asian:
Faithful Unto Death, have to remember the author. Very good writing, mystery.
