Knocked off a few more since the election:
Motion, Andrew - Silver; Return to Treasure Island (David Tennant) 56Kb (2012)
Great story about the descendants of the survivors of Treasure Island returning to collect the balance of remaining treasure. Well told - recommended.
Castles of Steel - Robert K. Massie (Richard Matthews) 48Kb (2012)
Heretofore I was pretty ignorant about the Battle of Jutland during WWI. Well told history of the evolution of battleships, transition form coal to oil, the various skirmishes in the North Sea, the Mediterranean - including Gallopoli, culminating in the final Battle of Jutland. Recommended historical.
Batista, Paul - Extraordinary Rendition (Clinton Wade) 32Kb (2012)
It is about a lawyer who is selected to represent an accused terrorist and the difficulty of the deliberately stacked legal system conspiring against him. Kinda boring.
Arlidge, M.J. - Six Degrees of Assassination (Various) 128Kb (2014)
Direct to audio book commissioned by Audible. Good story punctuated by a varied cast and too much music.
Adams, Will - City of the Lost (Jonathan Keeble) 64Kb (2014)
Centered in Turkey/Cyprus - it is a modern day coup-d-tat wrapped up in archeology and legacy terrorism ala Grey WOLVES.
As You Wish; Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride - Cary Elwes (Various) 256Kb (2014)
If you loved the movie you will like this telling of the back story by many of the living actors.
Navy SEALs; Their Untold Story - Dick Couch & William Doyle (Will Damron) 64Kb (2015)
Excellent history of Frogmen from WW2 through today's Prima Donnas. Contains more details not before released.
