"D-Day; Piercing the Atlantic Wall" by Robert Kershaw. A good book so far with some interesting insights, especially from the German perspective.

Currently reading a selection of books

Mostly The Deluge on Kindle as I'm trying to get into playing By Fire and Sword, at the moment reading the rules sends me to sleep  I-)

Just yesterday I managed to get a copy of Not over by Christmas NATOs Central Front in WWIII and couldn't stop myself from a quick read!!

and lastly dipping in and out of Allenby's War The Palestine- Arabian Campaigns 1916-1918 as this is on the to-do list!

Riding Roughshod Through Dixie by Mark Lardas, about the Grierson Raid, which was sort of filmed as The Horse Soldiers, although I guess John Wayne was never going to be cast as an ex-music teacher.

I'll have to dig that one out again as I seem to recall being dissappointed with this one in comparison to 'It Never Snows in September'

I think this was his first book and to be fair he is going over very well trodden ground. Certainly 'It Never Snows in September' and 'War Without Garlands'  are amongst the best WWII history books I've ever read.

Lancejack (The Union Series) by Phillip Richards - basically the British army in space

The 1st book C.R.O.W. is just as good

Just finished "The house of silk" by Anthony Horowitz.

A great Sherlock Holmes pastiche, even if a whole lot darker than the canon.  :)

Highly reccomended.
Best regards,

"All you need is Kill" by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

http://www.amazon.com/All-You-Need-Kill-Novel/dp/1421527618/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381031255&sr=8-1&keywords=all+you+need+is+kill

Interesting sci fi yarn about an alien invasion and a trooper stuck in a time loop.  Will be a Tom Cruise movie in 2014 but looks like they strayed from the story by the character list.
