"These espionage thrillers contain a wealth of information about the world in which we live and travel."

Kelly Noble, Gold Mine Processing Manager, recommends Assassin's Strike by Ward Larsen.

I enjoy reading espionage thrillers, especially those that are written well and contain plausible plots. Ward Larsen is among the best writers in the genre. His David Slaton novels are exciting, adventurous, action packed and riveting.

Every year, Nina throws a huge party at her home in Malibu, and everyone who is anyone goes to this party. The story follows the progress of the night of the party but also has flashbacks through the life of Nina’s mother and Nina as a child.

The children of the famous Mick Riva were put through a lot during their life, especially because Mick was such a terrible father...
