Pile of Bones is a delightful short story featuring Suri and Minna, two characters from Sullivan's "The Legends of the First Empire" series. This is my first exposure to the world of Elan, and it's made me excited to explore more.

The First Conspiracy

The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington   by   Brad Meltzer   and Josh Mensch   4 Stars   I found The First Conspiracy to be a very interesting account of a little known and seldom written about aspect of the American Revolution: a British plot to turn colonists (and especially colonial soldiers) to the British side and (possibly at least) to capture and perhaps kill George Washington and other colonial generals.   I won the book in a Goodreads giveaway, so first of all I’d like to thank Goodreads, the publisher, and the author for a chance to read and review the book.  When I entered the giveaway I didn’t realize that this was a “Young Reader’s Edition” of the book.  I was apprehensive when I first saw that but still found the book very interesting and informative.  The only major concession to “Young Reader’s” I noted was the very short chapters.   Highly recommended. https://www.goodreads.com/book/sh...

The Last Card

The Last Card: Inside George W. Bush's Decision to Surge in Iraq by   Timothy Andrews Sayle   (Editor) , Jeffrey A Engel   (Editor), Hal Brands   (Editor), William Inboden   (Editor) 4 Stars The Last Card is an excellent, scholarly review of the Bush Administration’s decision to surge in Iraq in late 2006 – early 2007.   It is not a review of the surge itself, but rather of the decision-making process that led up to the surge.   Drawing on oral histories from most of the major participants as well as analysis from both critics and admirers, it presents a remarkably non-politicized review of the workings of the Bush Administration in making this critical decision.

The Wax Pack

  The Wax Pack: On the Open Road in Search of Baseball’s Afterlife by   Brad Balukjian   3 Stars   I was disappointed in The Wax Pack .  It wasn’t that the book was bad; it was enjoyable enough.  It’s just that I expected something very different, and something that I think would have been considerably more.  The concept grabbed me as soon as I saw the book for the first time:  open an old pack of baseball cards and then track down the players pictured to find out what their lives after baseball have been like.  Unfortunately, there was far too much of the author’s own story and far too little of the players’ stories for my taste.  There really wasn’t anything about Brad Balukjian that I was particularly interested in, but I really wanted to know a lot more about the players he managed to meet. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51312349-the-wax-pack
