Secret Justice by James W. Huston

Another macho right wing novel, this one extolling the virtues of torture. I enjoyed it. Rat water boards a terrorist and is brought to trial. In a case of mistaken identity the actual terrorist is out to do bad things to the US of A.

The Hundred Days by Patrick O'Brian

Another great episode. Napoleon is making a push - interesting history and story. Wish this series would never end.

Yellow Admiral by Patrick O'Brian

Very enjoyable. Only thing bad to say is that it is the 18th in the series and there are only two and a half books remaining. O'Brian is terrific.

First Family by David Baldacci

Fun book, using some characters from the Camel Club trilogy. Parts of the plot were questionable but all in all an enjoyable listen.
