No Man's Land by David Baldacci, 420 pages

No Man's Land is #4 in Baldacci's John Puller series.  Chief John Puller, Jr. works for the US Army Criminal Investigation Command.  In this outing, retired General John Puller, Sr. (our John's father) is accused of murdering his wife over thirty years ago.

John Puller, Jr. begins an investigation to find out what really happened to his mother when she disappeared when he was just 8 years old.  Government conspiracies and lots of bad people get in the way of finding out what happened.  Veronica Knox and Robert Puller step in to help. 

Verdict:  not too deep but enjoyable.

The Escape by David Baldacci, 480 pages

"The Escape" is book #3 in Baldacci's John Puller series.  John Puller is a military investigator in the Army.  His father is a retired general with dementia.  His older brother, Robert, was a military star in the Air Force a few years ago.  Now he is in military prison in Leavenworth, Kansas after being convicted of espionage.

Robert somehow escapes from the inescapable prison and John Puller is called in to help capture him.  But . . . was Robert actually guilty?

This is typical Baldacci.  Thrill a minute, men's men and tough women.  Oorah.

The Courier by Andrew Britton 469 pages

As military thrillers go, this one was okay.  It is certainly full of mystery and intrigue.  It is also full of LOTS of technical information and middle eastern names and locations.  Ryan Kealey is a spook.  His uncle was a spook who during World War II was instrumental in preventing the Germans from transporting a nuclear device via submarine.  Now that device has been found in the Artic.  Ryan forms an unlikely partnership with a young Farsi-speaking nuclear physicist to track down the device before it can be used.  However, he cannot do this without old school help from his Uncle Largo.  An interesting read, especially for some one who enjoys lots of tech speak and details.
