Re: What are you reading?

I was tempted to give it a try, but then discovered the kindle version is more expensive than the paper version :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sad-Tale-Bro.../dp/1841497835

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sad-Tale-Bro...A3TVV12T0I6NSM


I'm starting to get somewhat tired of this...

I love that series! Haven't read "World War" or "Colonization" for years.

Re: What are you reading?

Just finished Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Reilly - A very fast paced Indiana Jones type thriller.

About to start Third Secret by Steve Berry - A similar genre but with the main character solving more mental rather than physical puzzles.
