MY FRIDAY 56

Even so, the spell of seduction Hunt had woven over Powell still held:  Everything and everyone involved in the MicroCosmic deal would come out golden if Hunt’s scheme succeeded. Because Anthony Tiburon Hunt had gotten his hands on the invention of the century:  a superconducting microprocessor.

MY BOOK BEGINNINGS

The church was dark until John Fortunato struck the match. The point of light revealed rows of votive candles in red glass sleeves. John touched the match to a wick.

“God keep you Jamie Doolan,” he murmured.

GOODREADS SYNOPSIS

As a soldier in Vietnam, John Fortunato fought in the crushing darkness of the tunnels of Cu Chi, from which the Vietcong launched their deadliest operations. Back home in Elk River, Illinois, he secretly re-created those deadly tunnels. Partly a memorial, partly a kind of exorcism, they now lie hidden beneath the town’s peaceful streets.

But that peace shatters when Fortunato witnesses the brutal sidewalk shooting of an innocent victim. The vicious crime is only the first assault by a man who will wage a full-scale battle to control Elk River. And on the front line is John Fortunato, whose secret tunnels will provide the battleground for his own war. As his enemy is about to learn, when this veteran warrior goes down, he’s just beginning to fight.

  2. The plotline sounds intense. The beginning sentence is pretty descriptive and would make me want to keep reading. Also, I lprefer the second cover, it is a bit more action-oriented

  5. Probably not for me, but I can feel the need of the character to rise up and protect those who are wronged.

    Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.

  8. This sounds like a book my husband would enjoy more than I would, even though the main character sounds like an interesting and complex person.
    I like the first cover best. It grabbed me, and I think it would be appealing on a bookstore shelf.
    Thank you for visiting my blog. Your comments are appreciated.

  9. I like the second cover better. the first one is kind of dull. The story sounds really interesting. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Have a great weekend!

  13. This is the first time I’ve seen this book anywhere and it sounds good! Adding it to my list. I like the second (purple cover with 2 men) best. Here’s my Friday meme

  14. I honestly don’t know what to think of this book based on the snippets. It feels “dated” somehow, kind of like an old Crichton which was probably groundbreaking at the time. I like the first cover better aesthetically speaking, but I think the second cover suits it better (it probably was the original one or an older copy!)

  15. Running way behind on my visits from last week.

    This one sounds like a Grisham or Clancy thriller. Very suspenseful. Hope you enjoy it.
