THE TOAST OF BROADWAY (An Omega-Alpha Mystery) by Ian MacGregger

I must say, I really love this book.

Usually, I do not comment too much on the actual writing that is best left to those whom are scholars of the language. I am humbled by those like my friend, and author, Margaret Jean Langstaff or to many @CedarHillPress; she is much more qualified to comment on the writing. I try to stick with the story. Nevertheless, I am extremely impressed by this author’s style.

Ian MacGregger’s work as a writer is fantastic. There is fabulous character within the sentences, without disturbing the language. Throughout the book, I felt as if I was reading a modern Sherlock Holmes novel.

I understand, there is clearly a subjective factor to style, and this one sure satisfied my personal novel taste buds. It is a story saturated in wonderful personality, and it fits perfectly with the characters.

Ian has created quite a collaboration of interesting, yet, unlikely characters. My favorite was the Scot, Ian, the assistant working with Anna, the paranormal detective. The two create a fabulous pair.

The mystery and mayhem is a wonderful journey filled with wild surprises to the end. You cannot possibly be bored as animals and wildly strange characters emerge to entertain from around the globe. Smooth, tight, and well written, I highly recommend this read.

THE 19th ELEMENT by John L. Betcher

In The 19^th Element, the preface displays an actual copy of a Daily Brief presented to then President George W. Bush, one month prior to 911. The memo expressed concern about a possible strike within the U.S. by Bin Laden. John Betcher's early use of this letter was dynamic. It gave credence to the scenario that followed, and remained foremost in my mind throughout.

The author has a fabulous way with words. I found a great deal of personality in his lighthearted and refreshing, terminology. I personally, liked the term lawyering, I spend many hours working with attorneys, but where I come from; the term is not used.

The 19^th Element is part of a series of thrillers based on James Beck an attorney from Red Wing Minnesota. After completely a long career stint within the government, he and his wife have returned home with their two young daughters to settle into a healthy family environment. John Betcher develops awesome dynamics between James, and his wife. I simply loved their relationship. Beth is a decoder, and James openly adores and respects her intellectually.

The book is a fabulous well-written thriller about nuclear terrorism. John understands and conveys the inner-workings of the nuclear facility with expertise. In light of the Nuclear Plant disaster in Japan, John's thriller is a timely masterpiece, especially for those interested in the structure, and mechanics surrounding Nuclear Plants.

The 19^th Element presents a plausible concern for the potential danger Nuclear Plants possess.

I highly recommend this James Becker Thriller.
