The Reading List

 

A personal favorite.

Many authors have tried to replicate Forester’s work, but the Hornblower series of books and countless associated works is top of the list for adventures on wooden warships.

What I’m reading.

This is my second John Ringo novel. It is a zombie apocalypse story based on very familiar ground. So far it’s entertaining, but I can say with certainty that I liked Live Free Or Die better

What I just finished.

The Captain handed this one off after reading it for book club. It is a collection of stories of women veterans who served in war zones. There are some gut wrenching and heroic stories, and they are told by the women who were there.
