I've been reading a series on The Marine Corp. by W.E.B. Griffin. There are eight books in The Corps series, and there is a new one in hardback that I'm waiting to be released in paperback.

Until it is released in paperback, I just picked up volume one of his Men At War series called The Last Heroes. It is a fictional historical type book about the creation of the OSS.

Getting caught up on some of my spaceflight history stuff, I've had a lond dry spell of no space books:

"Failure is Not an Option" by Gene Kranz
"The Unbroken Chain" by Guenter Wendt
"Lost Spacecraft- The Search for Liberty Bell 7" by Curt Newport
(those are my space ones)
and "B-29 Hunters of the JAAF" by Koji Takaki and Henry Sakaida-
interesting doing a little reading from the "other side" of the battle line, especially one side I never really gave much thought to.

Suganami, ever read, "A Man Called Intrepid"? An interesting book about a fascinating man.

Botnst

No, I don't think I have.

Do you know who the author is?

I'm sorry and a little embarrassed to admit it, but other than for occasional wanderings born of topics here, most of my free reading is done at

Oh I forgot. I picked up "Elmo's Wash and Dry" the other day at Border's. Pretty cool book, take it in the bathtub and you can see the special colors.

Many years ago I read 'Odette' by Reuben Berkovitch (now out of print, but amazon have it). Inspirational tale of real-life courage.

Odette was an allied agent for SOE in occupied France:
