Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.He stands between the general population who is ignorant about the supernatural world and the monsters - vampires,werewolves,fallen angels,fey.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

Reilly's Luck by Louis L'Amour.Its a western.A young boy is abandoned by his own mother(she tells her boyfriend to kill him)The boy ends up with a gambler and he brings him up.Turns out to be the best gamble he ever made.The boy grows up and later kills the people who murdered the gambler.The Daybreakers,Fair blows the wind,Galloway are also good books by the same author.

Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. He discovers that, because Ari himself had hatched Kashet, the dragon is different from others that have been captured live in the wild and must be drugged to be made tractable. Vetch finds he really likes and understands dragons, and soon he becomes the best dragon boy of all. He still harbors anger, however, toward the Tian invasion. Could he, perhaps, hatch a dragon, and then escape to help his people?

Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.

The door to december by Dean Koontz.A psychiatrist's daughter was kidnapped by her ex-husband years ago. When the daughter is finally found, the real fight begins. One by one the people who held her captive become mysteriously tortured and killed. Everyone is afraid the young girl will be next.

Answer 4

hmmm...tough to answer since I don't know your preference, but here goes:

I just finished reading the following books over the last few weeks - they are all really good:

"Lamb, Or the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore. It's funny! It tells the "story" of Christ's childhood through the eyes of his best friend, Biff, who does everything Jesus can't. If you are an easily offended Christian, you might not want to read it, but I didn't think it was offensive at all.

"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran-Foer. It's about a young boy, 9 I think, whose father died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He journies all over New York to try to find the meaning of a key - very good, very funny, very sad. It's good. Foer's "Everything is Illuminated" is really good too.

"Ceremony" by Leslie Marmon Silko - great book and probably one of my all-time favorites. It's a tough read, but worth it. I've read it three times now and find something new out each time. She's Native American and incorporates myths, poems, legends and prose into her stories. It's about a half-blood native American who returns from Vietnam and finds out he doesn't really belong anywhere - it's a great book and really a lot more in depth than that.

"Indian Killer" by Alexie Shermann. A serial killer is loose in Seattle. sounds pop-ish, I know. but Shermann is a great author and really keeps you guessing as to who the killer is.

There's some to start off with. If you need more just ask.

Answer 5

It's an oldie but try "The Dogs of War". It's a book about a mercenary who is hired to help overthrow a small country by a mining company. It's written in first person. I found it very hard to put down.
