Train and Bus Journeys never lend themselves to "quality" readings for me, I always prefer some page-turner ,a guy saves the world, a guy and a gal save the world, a team of guys and gals save the world, type of reading. In this genre, one of my favorite authors is Jon Land(http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/7015/). The first Jon Land book I read was the Lucifer Directive (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0821713531/104-1027607-4326311?v=glance) . In my opinion its one of his best works and one of the best page-turners I have read. The latest Land book that I am reading is The Tau Vengenace. No its not about a group of Jats saving the world, infact it's about a sect of die-hard Jews playing around with a deadly weapon (aka The White Terror), and the take-no-prisoners, kick-ass Blaine McCracken on their trail. Engrossing stuff!!
