Description: Red Storm Rising 

“Red Storm Rising”,
by Tom Clancy

A gripping novel by Tom Clancy describing the build up to a possible World War, all triggered by the need for oil. Extremely well detailed and a great read, this is a must read for anyone interested in military literature and wartime stories.

 

Description: The Innocent (Will Robie,#1)
“The Innocent”, by David Baldacci             

This work of fiction is for anyone who likes reading books with a fast moving and action packed plot.  It follows the exploits of Will Robie and his crusade to escape from the system that he was once a part of, and is now out to destroy him. The book provides a great amount of detail around his escape and his subsequent actions to protect his own life as well as that of a child who was merely at the wrong place at the wrong time!


Description: Cover of the book showing title in white letters against a black background in a banner above a painting of a portion of a tree against a red background

“To Kill a Mockingbird”, by Harper Lee

A lovely read with a message thrown in, this book, written in 1960, is as relevant as ever. The plot drives home the message of shunning discrimination and standing up for one's beliefs irrespective of how other's perceive the same situation.
