Books I read .....a few days back...

White star : James Thayer Two snipers in a dual where only one survives. Yep,this book provides plenty of excitement for action fans. "Owen Gray is a New York City district attorney and the adoptive father of three orphaned Asian children. Previously, Gray was the premier marine sniper in Vietnam, where he was credited with 96 kills. The past is mostly forgotten, though, at least until a Mafia chieftain standing with Gray in front of a courthouse is killed by a sniper. Days later, a petty crook is shot through the head while Gray is walking with him toward a waiting police van. Unbeknownst to Gray, the sniper is a figure from his past who nearly drove him to suicide. What starts as seemingly random violence on the streets of New York is actually an invitation to a deadly duel between the world's two best snipers. " Luciano's luck : Jack Higgins An okish sort of thriller for 16 year olds, 2nd WorldWar story ...too mild for me. Currently reading Rat Trap : Craig Thomas There was relief at Heathrow when the damaged British Airways 707 touched down safely. But something was wrong.

The hijackers wanted a terrorist returned in exchange for the lives of the aircraft's passengers and crew. The exchange could be made safely. Until the prisoner escaped...
