The Attack by Kurt Schlichter

The signs were all there, but nobody paid attention. They didn't want to. For years they had been sneaking through our porous southern border. Watching, waiting, planning. The day finally came and suddenly 12,000 heavily armed Islamic Jihadist attacked in unison all over the United States. No one was safe. No place was safe. The fanatics mission was to kill as many Americans as possible before they themselves died as martyrs. They were brutal. Torturing, raping and maiming people just because it was fun to them. The recorded much of their savagery and posted it on the internet. The attack lasted three days. In the end 172,000 Americans were dead. They were trying to break us.

This book takes place 5 years later. The author is touring the country and collecting the stories of those who survived. He interviews a wide array of people. Politicians, various officials, LE, Military, first responders and just ordinary people who got caught up in the attack. The book is set up so that each chapter is one person's story.

The book is fascinating and horrifying. The scariest part is that it could actually happen.

Oops ...posted wrong. Anyway, this is the kind of book that intrigues me. I just ordered it...it sounds like one I won't be able to put down.
 
My reading goes in waves also. There was a time I would have two or three books on the go at the same time, and I would get through them within a week or two. Not so much anymore, but when I get into a really good one it doesn't take long..

Right now I am reading a psychological thriller called "Psychosis". It is a tale told in first person to the reader. The is losing his mind, as his past and present are melding together as he is coming to grips with his crumbling marriage, the loss of his parents, etc. He is a chronic womanizer and is trying to fix that too. Normally I would have finished this book by now, but with all the stuff going on with my mom it has been hard to follow and so I have to keep going back to get his story straight again.

I just ordered The Attack that @Grayfox posted about. I am really looking forward to reading that one.
 
An old book. It's a retelling of some of the viking sagas, sort of historical fiction rather like Allan Eckerts American saga stories. Mostly real characters written in real settings but a fictional narrative. Have read it a number of times. They made a movie from it with Richard Widmark and Sidney Portier, I believe the actors were.

I love historical fiction. This looks like a good read.
 
This book by a Susanna Gregory. Historical fiction at its best, IMO. She has two series, one about a 1300s doctor in Cambridge, and this one about a spy in Restoration England. Probably about 30 books in all. She writes exceedingly well and captures your imagination. Highly recommended.
