Mid-April 2017 reading....

Here's a section of books that I'm reading....

1)  The Lost Stars:  Shattered Spear by Jack Campbell.  I'm about 2/3 way through this last The Lost Stars novel.  It's been entertaining so far.  I'm curious to see how everything ends next week....

2)  The Road to Guilford Courthouse:  The American Revolution in the Carolinas by Buchanan.  It's hard to remember that the American Revolution was really a civil between loyalist Tories and Patriot Whigs for control of the continent.  Interesting read.  I'm at the point of Cowpens, which I already read about.  It's been a hard read to digest all the information that the author provides, however.

3)  I finished Posiedon's Wake by Alastair Reynolds.  Interesting story about space explorers from Africa coming back home to Earth centuries later...

4)  I also finished The Madness of Alexander the Great:  And the Myth of Military Genius by Gabriel.  See previous blog entry for comprehensive review.

5)  I recently started was Such Men as These:  US Naval Aviators During the Korean War by Sears.  Starts in with Mitcher and his posting on the USS Valley Forge in 1952 in the Sea of Japan.

6)  My final book was Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.  I barely started it before putting it down last Easter....
