Nicholas Watson is a United States counter terrorism Agent, a position that places him in danger every day he is alive. This excellent book tells of Nicholas' adventures as he tries to stay alive, do his job well, and still find time for love, all of which are very difficult in his business. The author has spun a great tale full of danger, love, and some humor. Until you read the book it is hard to tell if Nicholas' real motive for his life is the adventure and the danger or the love affairs he thinks and hopes he will have. His main job on the first assignment in the story is to destroy munitions and some of the enemies connected with those munitions. He is in and out of immediate danger but not every time. Sometimes he gets too deeply involved and can't make a clean get away and the author makes the reader grin and bear it until the last pages of the book.

While on assignment Nicholas sees a beautiful woman while going through an airport in South America, and he just has to meet that gorgeous woman who he immediately is infatuated with but can't quite catch her. She is just as illusive as he is normally. You might know that when he wants to meet and be with someone, circumstances are dead set against him. From that moment on every time he travels to another nation he is searching for that same woman. He feels she has to be the one for him but how will he ever find her. Meanwhile danger goes on and Nicholas travels, gets in trouble, hides, searches, blows up munitions, kills some bad guys, all the time hoping he will meet that woman again.

The woman holds the same position as Nicholas for another nation so when he finally does meet her, they both know that their love is forbidden since they are actually at war with each other. How in the world can they pull this off? Kalyna Muzak is the woman's name as Nicholas soon finds out. Their adventures as they each work for opposing nations become sometimes hilarious but I am sure it is not funny for them. Eventually Nicholas is given orders to blow up a building containing many people along with munitions and Kalyna. As he watches the building blow knowing his one chance at love since his first marriage failed is gone. His chance for love will have to end in that collapsed building.

Larry Johnson has written a story that will be liked by almost any type of reader whether they like love, murder, torture, humor, suspense, and twists written in a way that is easy to understand.

Death At Willow Creek Mine, The Ultimate Cover-Up Written By J. D. Savid

A short book containing a fairly good story that takes place at an old gold mine in northwestern Nevada that had ceased any major production in 1942. There were a few seams of ore scattered throughout the mine but no major mining had taken place since it was closed during WWII. Three brothers, Aaron, the oldest, Nathan, the middle aged brother, and Hector, the youngest, had survived the years since other family members owned the mine, most of which had passed away. None of the brothers were well educated but they knew the area they lived in and also the mine even though they rarely went into it. Hector was the exception going into the now very dangerous mine six days a week to bring out any ore, gold, or anything he might think was worth mining that would bring them some money.

The book starts by telling about their families and what happened to them. Some deaths might have been a bit suspicious but the boys weren't that smart to push that issue. One day Hector found a vein of interest so he planted some dynamite in the holes he had drilled. He then set the blasting caps to set off the dynamite, lit the fuses, and left the area. He heard the blast go off and thought they had all worked successfully. He figured he would find out the next day. Unlike the other two brothers, Hector worked hard. He also had a far-thinking brain that he used in dreams and sometimes while awake. He would see things and was not sure if they were real or imaginative. Aaron was deeply religious being a regular bible reader and the meal prayer recited. Hector was the cook. He would plan his meals while working in the mines then go home and cook them.

Everything the boys did and where they did it were old backwoods style. They knew little if any about the outside world. Their home was crude, clothes old, their truck was old, even to the small cabin that Hector lived in. Nathan loved to visit the dump where he found many different things he would bring home including some naughty pictures. The boys were not ignorant when it came to wishing they had a girl to be around and enjoy even if it was just talking and they looked at them all they could. The mine inspectors made a visit and the mine was not ready for inspection so they finagled a way to make them come back later for the inspection. And so life went on with what some would think as a monotonous life but to the boys, every day was an adventure.

As I said, the book is small but gives a decent story about mountain boys and others in the area, some in very small communities, and some living by themselves hidden in the mountains.
