Good book to reccomend?

Anything by Robert Ludlum!  I love his books, reading one at current!

If you can find any of the covert one novels, the hades factor or the altman code especially.

Just a heads up, but this book is released this week:

Joint Force Harrier - Cdr Ade Orchard

It's about JFH ops in Afghanistan. It appears (although I haven't seen it confirmed) that some of the proceeds will go to charity, and namely the RNHF at Yeovilton (lets hope it sells as well as Dave Morgan's book!) - as some of you may know, Cdr Orchard is possibly better known for his displays in the RNHF Sea Fury and Swordfish(es?)...

Sniper One by Dan Mills and Fighter Boys by Patrick Bishop ( still reading)

[ShaneG_old]

ANYTHING by Tom Clancy-excellent military/political thrillers
And "Flight of the Old Dog" by Dale Brown I think it was- the best book about a B-52 that you will EVER read!

Any of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventures .

Marine Sniper - A true story about Carlos Hathcock, a veitnam sniper who is incredible with any gun or rifle.

Flyboys - True story of WWII Pacific Theater pilots, I learned a lot about the war reading this, stuff they don't teach you in school, I've read it three times now, very addicting.

The Cobra Event - Fictional (but fairly realistic) about Bio-Terrorism... a terrorist creates a brain virus that reproduces in your brain and slowly, well, liquifies the brain.  Then unleashes it in NYC and officials have to stop the spread and find this guy.  Rather intense and quite scary!  I read that one twice, love it!

I know this thread is a bit old, but seeing as it's been revived again, here's my suggestion:

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a really, REALLY good and captivating read. Tells the story of one day in a Soviet Forced Labour Camp, based off Solzhenitsyn's own experiences. I'd reccommend it to anyone, this isn't your average story!

Heres a good book, "Panzer Commander" The memoirs of Colonel Hans Von Luck. Great book, nice to hear the story from the other side, cool to hear about when they were in the deserts of North Africa, they started trading supplies and having a unofficial cease-fire with a British unit.

Well I will definately keep an eye out. An old but not so much dead thread.

Been tied up with coursework, exams and the such.

I'm not sure how into war type books I am, but I can give it a shot.

Marine Sniper is definitely brilliant! Just finished it today
