New Arrivals - Moscow Rules by Daniel Silva

Available July 22nd we have the new thriller by Daniel Silva - Moscow Rules. In the ongoing adventures of Israeli super-spy Gabriel Allon we have trouble brewing in Moscow from the remains of the Soviet empire. A ex-KGB turned 'businessman' turned merchant of death is up to something nefarious. Allon must track down this arms dealer, find out what he's up to, save the bad guys family, all before....

Good summer read!

Silva was Claudette Yamin's favourite author. Elliot Yamin's mother was one of our regular customers until her passing earlier this year. It was little sad to see this book arrive as I am sure she would have enjoyed it. She is missed.

New Arrivals - Killer View by Ridley Pearson - Signed Copies!

Both store have received signed copies of Ridley Pearson's new thriller - Killer View. This thriller, set in stark contrast of the wealth of Sun Valley and the Libertarian views of the generational ranchers, is a lesson in the inefficiencies of competing bureaucracies and corporate greed. This fun ride may even teach you a thing or two about how to evade pursuers in the snow - hibernating bears can be your friend!

New Author Alert! - David Benioff, City of Thieves

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a personalized signed copy of Benioff's new book, City of Thieves. Normally I would view this as a blatant attempt to get me to push a book that I would normally never read nor order for either of my stores. One very slow afternoon I started looking around at the piles of books publishers were sending me in the hopes of getting the book onto my shelves. The book by Benioff caught my eye so I sat down for a little read.

In a word - Really Good! (ok, that's two...)

The book is a quest of two young men during the siege of Leningrad. Bonds of friendship, the discovery of love, adversary, failure, triumph... all the themes you would expect but done freshly in a novel setting. The war and the vagaries of the WW2 Soviet system and it's complete disregard fro human life create the backdrop for the story and if your not careful you may learn a thing or two.

A nice uplifting story that would make a good summer read although I recommend you save it for a snowy night by the fireplace for optimum enjoyment. I have several copies at the Richmond store at 40% off the list. Grab one today!
