Here is a link to the first two chapters from his website:

Today marks the release of Michael Palmer’s newest medical thriller Political Suicide and to celebrate, Palmer has graciously offered to giveaway a SIGNED Hardcover Edition here on the Lazy Day Books Blog! We’ll tell you how to enter for your chance to win at the end of our review.

I have to say the Prologue is one of the best I’ve read in quite a while and the shock value alone is enough to quickly propel you through many chapters while searching for answers to your questions. I mean, what kind of purely evil person would ever want to do such a thing to the truest, bravest, most honorable men of our armed forces? Because as soon as you read it, you know that wasn’t something these men signed up for, or were ever trained to do, or could ever believe in.

Which means somebody did this to them. And that person absolutely must be stopped.

Book Review: The Last Man by Vince Flynn

Mitch Rapp is back!

The last two Rapp Series books went back in time to show us how Mitch Rapp became the meanest, toughest, baddest CIA Counter-terrorist Operative ever. American Assassin set the stage and showed us the whole selection and training process and gave us just the right amounts of insight into his psyche. The second prequel, Kill Shot, was a great action thriller and showed us more about Rapp’s development history.

With The Last Man, we are back to a modern-day setting in Afghanistan, where a CIA agent has gone missing.

Book Review: Whiplash River by Lou Berney

Whiplash River by Lou Berney, although a sequel to Gutshot Straight, stands on its own. The main character, Shake, while losing the peace of mind he has worked hard to create becomes inevitably intertwined with an interesting cast of characters.

In the midst of his life literally hanging in the balance, he tries to resurrect an old flame, solve the enigma that is Harrigan Quinn who he begrudgingly partners up with, and dig himself out of the hole that is sure to consume him.

The Last Refuge by Ben Coes is Book 3 in the Dewey Andreas series and primarily revolves around the at-odds political landscape of three countries: Iran, Israel and The United States.

Israeli Special Forces Commander Kohl Meir (and great-grandson of Golda Meir) is kidnapped by the Iranians off the streets of New York City. Meir is not only a high-profile name for the Iranians to capture, but he also is one of Israel’s deadliest operatives who specializes in killing terrorists. The Iranians are seeking revenge for the deaths of four of their undercover operatives and believe Meir is responsible. They put on a farce of a public trial and…

Book Review: The Abbey by Chris Culver

Book Review: The Abbey by Chris Culver

We have a guest post today from Tammy T., one of my favorite people! Tammy is a fellow book lover and she has a wicked sense of humor. Most days, she’s the one who keeps me sane.

I just finished reading The Abbey by Chris Culver, and I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It was not what I expected, based on the description given in my e-reader, and I was prepared for it to be an okay read. I decided to give it a try anyway and am so glad that I did.
