Terminal List by Jack Carr
A Navy SEAL has nothing left to live for and everything to kill for after he discovers that the American government is behind the deaths of his team in this ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller.
On his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece’s entire team was killed in a catastrophic ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.
Now, with no family and free from the military’s command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he’s learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths of his family and teammates. With breathless pacing and relentless suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law.
An intoxicating thriller that cautions against the seduction of absolute power and those who would do anything to achieve it, The Terminal List is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille.

7 Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli
(in my ongoing, but so far a failing, quest to better understand our Universe... why is it that the more I try to learn, the less I ultimately understand and/or the more questions I have? ... I guess I shoulda maybe put the bong down with a little more frequency in my formative years...

Most of last year was all text books, all the time.
Finally back to reading books that don't put me to sleep after a few sentences (such as taxation on modified endowment contracts - ugh).
For WWII enthusiasts,
The Matt Urban Story
is a current fascinating read. Urban is/was also a hero to many young kids and communities after his war years.
He retired in my hometown and my dad had his book which he gave to me when I was there recently during Christmas. My dad also met him a few times at the local American Legion and sang his praises.

Just finished John Adams, by David McCullough = good stuff! took me awhile to get through, but really interesting read on the early days of our country, and also interesting how 'history doesn't necessarily repeat, but it sure does rhyme!'

I bought that a year ago based on reviews, comments, and recommendations from others similar to you comments. But decided I'm not starting until I have a real sense that the third and final book will come out. I can't invest in a series that does not promise completion.
