Aaah, February...
February is the month of icky snow, icy cold, and the
bloodthirsty desire to hunt down those blasted snow fairies. No wait, this is supposed to be a
positive view of February.
Positive...good things…don’t look at the six
inches of new snow covering your blooming Daffodils, Sia…
Ah, yes, back on track. It’s the month of love,
sweethearts, candy hearts, flowers, and romance in the air (providing you’re
inside, where it’s warm and not outside freezing your tush off—which is probably
why this is the month of love).
Anyway, I digress. So, find your favorite comfy seat, a
nice snuggling blanket, grab something hot to warm you (not the hot guy
on the side, ladies); I was thinking coffee, hot chocolate, or tea.
My assistants are searching high and low for list of reads that are
sure to please—I sure enjoyed them! These were books I read for pleasure. I don't get a chance to do that as often as I like.
The wisdom of faith. The
power of science. The evil of man.
In the U.N. building in New York City, a U.S. Ambassador contracts an unknown virus after opening a threatening letter. In a slum near Paris, a rogue geneticist is found dead, tortured and defiled. His last message, a desperate plea for help, was sent to an old friend and fellow outcast, the ex-CIA agent and former mercenary named Hawker. His final legacy appears to be the fingerprints he left all over the letter to the Ambassador.
Consumed by thoughts of revenge but fighting to see the truth, Hawker teams up with NRI operative Danielle Laidlaw on a quest to find the killers and track down the secrets his dead friend may have lost or sold.

The Vindicarn War is a distant memory and Byron’s days of piloting Cosbolt fighters are over. He has kept the promise he made to his fallen mentor and friend - to probe space on an exploration vessel. Shuttle work is dull, but it’s a free and solitary existence. The senior officer is content with his life aboard the Rennather.
The detection of alien ruins sends the exploration ship to the distant planet of Tgren. If their scientists can decipher the language, they can unlock the secrets of this device. Is it a key to the Tgren's civilization or a weapon of unimaginable power? Tensions mount as their new allies are suspicious of the Cassan's technology and strange mental abilities.
To complicate matters, the Tgrens are showing signs of mental powers themselves, the strongest of which belongs to a pilot named Athee, a woman whose skills rival Byron’s unique abilities. Forced to train her mind and further develop her flying aptitude, he finds his patience strained. Add a reluctant friendship with a young scientist, and he feels invaded on every level. All Byron wanted was his privacy…

What am I reading right now? Kathleen and Michael Gear's Searing Wind—I've been reading their books since they first published them. I'll let you know my thoughts when I finish it.
Oh, and if you see that blasted Snow Fairy? Kick her winged self far north, would you?
Thanks
