The Last Punisher by Kevin Lacz
Interesting SEAL team stuff, the author believes he is one of a small percentage of people who is born to kill - he get's relief from it.

To The Death by Patrick Robinson
Final book in series and it's anti-climatic. The series started off excellently and and steadily declined to OK.
Bark of Nigh by David Rosenfelt
Andy Carpenter, Book 19 is another fun and forgettable saga in the enjoyable series.
The New Girl by Daniel Silva
Book 19 in the Gabriel Allon is good, consistent with previous installments. Not great but entertaining.

Game of Snipers by Stephen Hunter
Bob Lee Swagger, book 11, continues the journey with always enjoyable Swagger. Some interesting plot twists including Obama and Trump but not great.

The President Is Missing by Bill Clinton, James Patterson
Excellent. Clinton delivers interesting, often subtle, insights into POTUS.
Mycroft and Sherlock by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Anna Waterhouse
Well written but hard to stay with, sort of boring.

On Borrowed Time by David Rosenfelt
I was just OK with this book. The premise around implanting memories into the main characters brain was mildly frustrating. I wouldn't have known this was written by Rosenfelt if I hadn't seen it.
Big Fish by Thomas Perry
Enjoyable. I think it's early Perry and while a little disjointed you see the author's wit and style.
It's a Long Story by Willie Nelson, David Ritz - contributor
Interesting autobiography about Willie Nelson's life.

Solus by Peter Bowen
A Montana Mystery Featuring Gabriel Du Pre, Book 15. Yeah! This series has been so consistently enjoyable. There's nothing else out there like it. Solus, book 15 in the series, delivers even with high expectations.

Nimitz Class by Patrick Robinson
First book in the Admiral Arnold Morgan series and I can't wait to read the next. Very good, excellent even - only downside is his unconcealed loathing of the Democratic Party.
Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe
Surprisingly interesting - really spoke to growing up in Malibu during the 1970's.

Special Ops by W. E. B. Griffin
Book 9, is the last in the Brotherhood of War series and as corny and macho as it is, I'm sorry there's not more. Really enjoyed this and the entire series.
The Aviators by W. E. B. Griffin
The soap opera keeps going with Brotherhood of War, Book 8 and I can't wait for the next.

Hombre by Elmore Leonard
Unusual for a Leonard, slow western with interesting characters. EL is a high bar and this was just OK.
The Lazarus Vendetta by Robert Ludlum, Patrick Larkin
Turns out to be a Ludlum knock-off but was OK. Abridged which I think was good. Brick was OK narrator.

Neon Prey by John Sandford
Book 29 is pretty good entertainment but not good enough to understand why I've read them all.

A Killer's Mind by Mike Omer
Zoe Bentley Mystery is kind of boring. I tried several times to finish it but couldn't.
Redemption by David Baldacci
Memory Man Series, Book 5 is a pretty good entry in the series but it's not great. This series is enjoyable but missing something.
Saving Bravo by Stephan Talty
Billed as "The Greatest Rescue Mission" in Navy SEAL History the story doesn't live up. Lots of details about how people were raised, well researched but lagging in action.
Black and Blue by David Rosenfelt
A Doug Brock Thriller, Book 3 was my first of the series and it was OK.

400 Things Cops Know by Adam Plantinga
400 Things Cops Know: Street-Smart Lessons From a Veteran Patrolman is very interesting.
Hostile Takeover by Shane Kuhn
The follow up John Lago Thriller is enjoyable but not as good as the first.

While Drowning in the Desert by Don Winslow
The Neal Carey Mysteries, Book 5 appears to be the last in the series. It was light and fun.

A Long Walk Up the Water Slide by Don Winslow
Enjoyable, not as good as the previous books in the series.

Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance
Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance was hard not to like because what Musk is doing is SO amazing. Captivating.
Deck the Hounds by David Rosenfelt
An Andy Carpenter Mystery, Book 18, is like all the others, very enjoyable.
Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda
Creative Selection: Inside Apple's Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs was surprisingly good but only for those interested in Apple's history.
The Genius Dialogues by Bob Garfield
An Audible Original, some of the subjects were interesting, mostly not.

For the Sake of the Game: Stories Inspired by the Sherlock Holmes Canon
Stories were uninteresting and un "Holmes".
