Yeah, that's true. The day I got back (on September 11, of all days) it was 112 degrees. I forgot how hot it could get here.
Pretty interesting. Not convincing, though--for someone who writes mysteries, she's pretty lax on proof. Several of the things she cites as definitive proof for her accusal are subject to debate, particularly the DNA evidence.
I've heard that as well. They say one of the suspects was Prince Albert.
Thanks. I can't wait.
I finished Horns this morning, and now I started Lisey's Story.
I'm about halfway thru "Prey" by Michael Crichton. Can't remember who recommended it on the board, but it's top notch, a very good read. THANKS!
Going to start A Storm of Swords (Game of Thrones series). I'm considering going straight through to book five, but I'm not sure.
The one by "Michael Asher"? Yep, read it. What actually happened will probably never be known - as in, what the mission was, etc - since BTZ, The Real BTZ, The One That Got Away, et al, were all (presumably) subject to MoD clearance. Then there are those who claimed "Andy McNab" was a bit of a fantasist anyway, so like you, I don't know what to believe. It's interesting stuff, though.
Strictly speaking, you're not supposed to tell anyone which unit you're with anyway under the conditions laid down by the OSA, but most squaddies do. UKSF is obviously a special case, but one advantage is that no one ever believes you if you say you're in whichever unit, be it 22 Reg, 21 Reg (Artists), 23 Reg (TA), SBS, "The Det/14 Int Group"...whatever. Deep **** awaits those who tell, but you've got the usual guys who end up on the telly, undisguised but presumably using false names, and I know one of my godfathers was 'in' (many moons ago) so the veil slips now and then. But for all I know, you know all this and more. Who's to say?
(The funny thing was, when my godfather told his wife which unit he was in, she didn't believe him. She thought he was one of the REME guys attached to service their vehicles. She only got confronted with the real truth when he died, almost 30 years after he got out.)
IIRC, the other troop's Mobility.
Have you read Go! Go! Go! by Rusty Firmin and Will Pearson at all? It's an account of the Iranian Embassy siege.
Do it! There's a lot of negativity about the fourth book, but I didn't see it. Once you adjust to the idea that it has very little of the 'big' characters, it's really pretty interesting. Book 2 is definitely my favorite so far, but they're all worth reading.
Good book with an interesting premise. I'm glad you like it!
Have you read Airframe? I enjoyed that one more than Prey, though that was still a good book.

#1 fan (Annie Wilkes cousin) 1st cousin Mom's side
Was he in the can?
Prey scared the crap outta me! Because it could happen!
I started Harbor by John Ajvide Lindqvist. It has started out sufficiently creepy.....
AND it is WONDERFUL, sliced up three huge chunks for bite-size nibbling and hid it where the family will not think to look.
My Chocolatier verified the rumor stated here in another thread that chocolate could be in short supply as she stated 'unfortunately chocolate and coffee are usually from war-torn or the poorest of countries including those who are battling Ebola in Africa, yes, there could be a problem.' She also stated that she would not put it past the big chocolate companies taking advantage of bad situations as the above to raise their prices.
Albert was quite the boy, but murder??
