Holy moly that was a wild ride. the world-building in this series is awesome! The mystery, the intrigue amazing of course this is only my opinion. We get to meet a new member of Cammie's family. Her mysterious and fun aunt Abby. Zach returns, the electricity between him and Cammie left me wanting more.

I am so glad I dove back into this series.

I want more!

Great film
This is Ridley Scott's best film in years. Considering it's about one man stranded on Mars, it's surprisingly interesting, full of humour and intrigue. Matt Damon puts in a great performance holding a lot of the film on his own, although the supporting cast are fantastic too. It has a really good soundtrack and is also very close to the original book by Andy Weir. One of the best films of 2015.

I Loved it!!! It was different than The Last Namsara but similar. It was well written with an engaging story, action, intrigue, the stories and legends I love so much about this world.

There was also so many feels again. I want to go ride a dragon and visit this world so much sometimes! I love getting lost in it.

If you haven’t checked these out yet then go do it now!!!

Movie Favorite

"A fantastic adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s captivating Ripley books, with the action shifting to New York City and Hamburg (both filmed beautifully by Repo Man’s Robby Müller). Come for the seventies-noir setting, the art-world intrigue, the cameos from the likes of Nicholas Ray; stay for the entertaining Wenders interviews on the Criterion edition, in which he regales us with how he managed to tame both Dennis Hopper and the late, great Bruno Ganz."

The story just gets better and better and I loved this book even more than the first as it takes us further into the future as Catherine is now married to Peter and we witness more of her suffering. I was immediately swept away by the intrigue and romance. Well written plot with superbly developed characters that seem larger than life. I cannot wait to get ensnared in the third book. I highly recommend this author's books.

[Preston Fleming] has quickly become one of my favorite authors. With [Bride of a Bygone War] he hits another home run. The continuing action and intrigue of Beirut in the 1980's is conveyed in a fast paced yet humanistic manner.

Any fan of spy thrillers or the action adventure genre definitely needs to check [Mr. Fleming] out. I will be awaiting the third installment of the [Beirut Trilogy] and any more works by this exciting author.

An Adventure awaits
A tail of adventure and intrigue awaits. You follow a story of a journey that leads you far from the only place you have ever known. It is a tale of wonder and sorrow. It starts off slow but really picks up. It has a wonderful ending and shows the true meaning of friendship and loyalty. If you have never read this I would highly recommend it.

fantastic read
OMG what a fantastic book, I love this series, each book was as gripping as the last. Very sad to see this series end but it ended in a fantastic way. This book is full of suspense and intrigue as well as continuing the amazing love story of the characters. I can't wait to read more from this amazing author in the future.

I was really disappointed when I realized where the plot was going - Christ's bones? Come on, Reichs. But she did a very good job with the plot, giving the reader plenty of intrigue without ever getting into any mystical nonsense. I found the references to The Da Vinci Code highly amusing (there may have been some that I missed, but I haven't read the book, and I was only half-way paying attention when I saw the movie).
