I had no idea a movie was coming out. Ian ("Lovejoy", "Al Sweringen") McShane is either Mr. Wednesday or Lyesmith. I expect this will be one of the few first run movies we see in the theater, HH6 was a huge Lovejoy fan.Originally Posted by Coyotesfan97

I've read that one twice and lent it out several times. Pick up Ocean if you enjoy American Gods.
Golden Prey - about Lucas Davenport, mentioned above. It's ok so far. Interestingly 'tactics' issue about watching too much TV and shouting a warning before opening fire on incredibly obvious lethal threat. Pretty positive SD incident portrayal with a 10/22 and extended magazine.
Yepp I plan to. I'm really liking American Gods

Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Immensely entertaining and a very quick read. Its a trilogy.
Finished Golden Prey. Spoilers below

It's ok. The villains are not as compelling as some of Lucas' best and there is not a sense of tension to catch them. They are bad but not the psychopathic monsters that Lucas crosses path with.
The interesting twist is more in Lucas' job. In the previous book, where Lucas prevented the assassination of a presidential candidate who was a Hillary type, he lost his Minnesota job and the Hillary type offered him a job as a US Marshal to do 'hard' jobs for her as president. So the author was setting up the next book for him to be a secret agent type on the Federal level and interact with the Hillary (who thought he was hot). Oops - she lost and the book mentions her failure to carry the states that HRC lost. So the author seems to be altering that path for Lucas to be a Marshal based in Minnesota and probably not have big deal presidential level skullduggery. Oh, well. I guess Mitch Rapp will have to do that kind of thing. Mist be a bummer to have a series of stories trashed.
Well.
It's not a theatrical release, it's a Starz (and Amazon?) series. Starts tomorrow, April 30.
Ad Ian McShane is Mr. Wednesday.

I finished Anansi Brothers. Meh. The first third is much better than the rest of the book. I hit a point I was no longer invested in the characters and the story was bland. I finished it, and it did pick back up a bit, but the book isn't a patch on American Gods or Ocean...

I preordered Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, and How They Rescued Each Other for my Kindle. I follow them on FB at Fred the Afghan. Short story is Craig a Marine rescued Fred, a stray dog, from Afghanistan.
