Gates of fire by Preston, Historical fiction on Thermopole. If you like ancient Greece this is an amazing book. His other book last of the amazons is just as good.
What fiction book are you currently reading?

Hello, My all time favorite is " Musashi" base on a true person. Today the book is broken up into 3 books. If you can find it "Musashi" the book has over 900 pages, took me one month to read it. Then I pick it up and read it one more time,2nd month. Then I started in the third month and read it for the third time in 3 months. It took a while for me to place the people and places of the actions in the book, but I love the story. Teaches us some great lessons in life. ...............Aloha

I think you are thinking of Pressfield, How does Last of the Amazons compare to Tides of War?

The Cobra Event by Preston
-Good frightening stuff on biological warfare, it feels a bit dated due to the whole current Iraq situation. It really doesn't compare to his real-life book "The Hot Zone" which scared the pants off of everybody about Ebola.
An Oblique Approach by Flint/Drake
Actually a reread, I forgot how enjoyable the Belisarius series was.
A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin
Another reread in preperation for the November release of the next book.
The Dog from Hell by Chris Bunch
Completely forgettable military sci-fi popcorn.

In the middle of Blowback, by Brad Thor
Started to re-read the Burke series by Andrew Vachss - If you have never read these books, you owe it to yourself to get a peek at them. Incredible series of books in the "Crime Noir" style.
