I've finished, "Runner," by William C. Dietz. "In a crumbling futuristic society, Earth is only a myth, the technological advances of centuries have faded into distant memory, and space travel depends on a fleet of run-down, unreliable ships." Memorable characters and story. I enjoyed it.

"The 11th Hour," by Catherine Coulter. The murder of a priest leads FBI agents Sherlock and Savich to their most baffling case yet, in this riveting novel of suspense." Thumbs up.

"Broken Prey," by John Sanford. "In the wake of a series of killings that disturbingly emulates the works of a trio of inmates currently being held at the Minnesota Security Hospital, Lucas Davenport investigates a missing man who was released from the hospital weeks earlier." I always like Sanford's books, and this one did not disappoint.

"Strange Highways," is a collection of short stories and two novellas by Dean Koontz. I actually didn't enjoy the title novella as much as the short stories. These were really good, and surprising. Recommended.

I re-discovered a box of books stashed in the garage, and was quite happy to find them. Looks like several I had not read. Added to my recent shipment from Better World Books that I was still working my way through. I'm a happy camper!
