Book Review by Joseph Snoe-The Spymasters: How the CIA Directors Shape History and the Future
I learned a lot reading Chris Whipple’s THE SPYMASTERS: HOW THE CIA DIRECTORS SHAPE HISTORY AND THE FUTURE, and I’ve already forgotten most of it. The introduction was an eye-opener.

RICH BLOOD by Robert Bailey: Book Review by Joseph Snoe
RICH BLOOD is the sixth Robert Bailey legal thriller I’ve read.

Book Review by Joseph Snoe-Double Exposure
By Alfred Gough and Miles Millar The reviews are all over the place for Alfred Gough & Miles Millar’s DOUBLE EXPOSURE. Me, I really enjoyed it. If you like the James Bond/Jason Bourne/Indiana Jones quick action stories, there’s a good chance you’ll like DOUBLE EXPOSURE. Basic story: In 1962, David Toland, Korean War hero turned…
