You may be asking yourself, "Why should I listen to a random guy who I don't even know as to what books I should read?" Good question. (If you asked my wife, she would probably say you shouldn't. She stopped listening to me a long time ago, but I digress.) Anyway, here's the answer, because I'm just like you. I've been married for just short of an eternity. I have a couple of kids, a job, and a bunch of bills. I love sports, booze, swearing, hanging out with the fellas, and reading. I read a lot. I read at lunch, I read on the throne, I read every night in bed before drifting off to a fitful sleep (Why am I reading as opposed to doing something a little bit more cardio intensive in bed before going to sleep? See above.) Anyway, I've been building my library for a few years now and have over 270 volumes in it. I'll be posting a couple of reviews a week (in theory). I'll start with some of my favorites from the past and add new books as I finish them. Read the reviews, buy the books, and enjoy!

Intercept by Patrick Robinson

This book pisses me off.  Don't get me wrong, I think old Pat wants his book to piss me off.  The premise of his work is that we capture a bunch of terrorists, ship them to Gitmo, get an American (bleeding-heart liberal) president who catches feelings over their 'mistreatment' and insists on them getting their day in court, after which they get released back into society.  Then we have to wait for them to try to blow something up before we get the chance to kill them like we should have done in the first place.  While it sounds far fetched, I could absolutely see this happening.  THAT'S what pisses me off.  That and our boy Pat gets a little loose with his plot towards the end.

Anyway, as far as terrorist hunting novels go, this one is fine.  Go ahead and read it if you don't have anything better to do.
