DARWIN's RADIO by Greg Bear

Greg Bear's powerfully written, brilliantly inventive novels combine cutting-edge science and unforgettable characters, illuminating dazzling new technologies--and their dangers. Now, in Darwin's Radio, Bear draws on state-of-the-art biological and anthropological research to give us an ingeniously plotted thriller that questions everything we believe about human origins and destiny--as civilization confronts the next terrifying step in evolution. A mass grave in Russia that conceals the mummified remains of two women, both with child--and the conspiracy to keep it secret. A major discovery high in the Alps: the preserved bodies of a prehistoric family--the newborn infant possessing disturbing characteristics. A mysterious disease that strikes pregnant women, resulting in miscarriage. Three disparate facts that will converge into one science-shattering truth. Molecular biologist Kaye Lang, a specialist in retroviruses, believe that ancient diseases encoded in the DNA of humans can again come to life. But her theory soon becomes chilling reality. For Christopher Dicken--a "virus hunter" at the Epidemic Intelligence Service--has pursued an elusive flu-like disease that strikes down expectant mothers and their offspring. The shocking link: something that has slept in our genes for millions of years is waking up.

TIME'S EYE by Stepehn Baxter

For eons, Earth has been under observation by the Firstborn, beings almost as old as the universe itself. The Firstborn are unknown to humankind—until they act. In an instant, Earth is carved up and reassembled like a huge jigsaw puzzle. Suddenly the planet and every living thing on it no longer exist in a single timeline. Instead, the world becomes a patchwork of eras, from prehistory to 2037, each with its own indigenous inhabitants.

 

Scattered across the planet are floating silver orbs impervious to all weapons and impossible to communicate with. Are these technologically advanced devices responsible for creating and sustaining the rifts in time? Are they cameras through which inscrutable alien eyes are watching? Or are they something stranger and more terrifying still?

 

The answer may lie in the ancient city of Babylon, where two groups of refugees from 2037—three cosmonauts returning to Earth from the International Space Station and three United Nations peacekeepers on a mission in Afghanistan—have detected radio signals: the only such signals on the planet, apart from their own. The peacekeepers find allies in nineteenth-century British troops and in the armies of Alexander the Great. The astronauts, crash-landed in the steppes of Asia, join forces with the Mongol horde led by Genghis Khan. The two sides set out for Babylon, each determined to win the race for knowledge... and the power that lies within.

 

Yet the real power is beyond human control, perhaps even human understanding. As two great armies face off before the gates of Babylon, it watches, waiting....

If you are into psychological thriller/suspense i find Jeffrey Deaver's The Coffin Dancer and The Blue Nowhere as an interesting pocket book to read. Not only is it full of suspense and twists but it will keep you're eyes glued to the pages as the climax approches.

 

The Coffin Dancer is about an ingenious killer who changes his appearance even faster that he adds to his trail of victims. It'a a race against time before the killer strikes again.

 

On the other hand, The Blue Nowhere is a story of an extremely talented computer hacker who likes the challenge of getting to close to his victims & be able to stab them in the heart. Police had to seek help from a convict hacker to track down the killer. Two computer wizards engage in the kind of high-tech combat neck to neck.

 

Jeffrey Deaver also wrote the story of the Bone Collector which was later on adopted into a film.

easy and soothing to the soul? try robert fulghum's books, esp. the 1st one: "All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten". easy read, inspirational, it's a collection of essays taken from the author's life experiences. you will learn to appreciate the things we take for granted, the simple things in life. the author's a pastor or something like that.
