The New York Times bestselling author delivers the follow-up to No Time for Goodbye—an electrifying novel of suspense in which a family’s troubled past is about to return in more ways than one. And this time, they may not be able to escape
I have just finished reading this book but hadnt read No time for goodbye but it was brilliant - we are passing it round our office and all the ones who have read it so far had really enjoyed it

Don't think I'll be attempting Pillars of the Earth any time soon... but I'm enjoying hugely Ken Follet's WHITEOUT...great story well told.

Ben Carson's 'Gifted Hands'. Very readable but he comes across as rather arrogant. (Not surprising, really.)

I have just started Carstairs - Hospital for Horrors by David Leslie ..... a bit of an insight into the treatment of the criminally insane, very disturbing.

Re: What book are you reading now?

Vulcan 607.
It's about all the preparation and execution of the bombing of the airfield at Stanley in the Falkland Islands in 1982, by a single Vulcan bomber.
Performing this was a far more complicated enterprise than you could imagine, the distance to be covered being 4000 miles each way (from Ascension Island) and requiring many air-to-air refuellings. Many other difficulties too, such as no satellite navigation or ground references (over open sea, of course) to guide them.
The Americans insisted that it couldn't be done, but we showed them!

Those were the days when you could be proud to be British!

I'm also reading War & Peace. I used to think I would never get through it but watching the tv series has helped me remember the characters.
