Impact

Impact is one of the best thrillers I've listened to/read this year.
Douglas Preston hits this one out of the park...actually somewhat further...but I don't want to give anything away.
I was listening to Impact as I drove down the Northeast Extension of the PA turnpike and tried to guide my car from being in one of seven lanes, into being in one of two lanes. I was on my way to a work-related meeting - a meeting that was NOT pleasant in its message and I couldn't wait to get back in the car to listen to the story.

Listening to Preston Douglas or Lincoln Child or a Douglas/Child book is a tutorial in writing the thriller. I say "listening" because listening gives me, as a writer,  a deeper sense of how to move the action.

Going to Amazon now to see if I've missed one of his/his/their books.
But I doubt it.
Preston Douglas rocks and Preston Douglas and Lincoln Child rock!!!
Can you tell I'm a huge, huge fan?

Sick but still "reading"

While running to Doctors to CVS for meds to home, I was listening to Impact by Douglas Preston. I'm a huge fan who reads anything and everything he and Lincoln Child write - together or separately.
Impact is (at least in the beginning) about an asteroid but Preston uses Corso  and Friedman as names for two of his characters.
Am I the only one that sees the relationship? As soon as I heard them, I went "Whoa!"
But that's because I'm weird.
I will be back to read more when the medications kick in.
But I'm also doing NaNoWriMo.
