Deputy U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens has a problem. He’s found the felon he’s looking for, but that man is missing both of his kidneys. As he figures out what happened, and who removed the criminal’s organs, Raylan begins putting together a series of seemingly unconnected events that aren’t so much about a mystery, but about the people involved. He discovers the truths behind a black market human organ business, as well as the murder of an out of work coal miner, and he manages to make a few friends along the way. In the end, Raylan’s adventures involve some kidney thieves, pot growers, a 21 year old poker playing girl, some seedy horsebreeders, and a cross-dressing gangster.

Fans of Elmore Leonard’s character Raylan (also seen in the hit television series “Justified”) will rejoice at this fast paced, witty novel. Leonard’s prose is at the top of his game in this novel; the way he makes his characters come to life with simple conversations is unparalleled. This book is great if you’re looking to get into some pulp-y material and also has elements of a hard-boiled novel and the intricacies of modern crime stories. A must read!

After waiting five years between completing books in this series, George R. R. Martin comes back with a thrilling and violent-as-ever installation in his terrific series. The action picks up where A Storm of Swords left off, (A Feast for Crows runs parallel to this novel) where we find out more about everything Outside of King’s Landing. Tyrion Lannister, after killing his father, is escaping to the Free Cities and heads for the Dragon Queen Daenrys Targaryean to offer his help and exact his revenge on the rest of his family. Daenrys also has her hands full dealing with the politics of keeping a city safe, keeping her dragons out of danger, and being courted by several highborn men who want to rule beside her.

Meanwhile, in the North, Jon Snow is dealing with wars on two fronts. He has to carefully keep the King of the North, Stannis Baratheon, happy all the while figuring out how to defend Westeros from the encroaching dead walking the land north of the Wall. He will have to bargain and make decisions that will determine the lives of many. We also get a glimpse of Bran Stark and his journey north of the Wall to an ancient place with many secrets. By the end, all of your favorite characters come back, including Arya, Jamie and Cersei, in another installment of one of the most epic fantasy stories of all time. The blood will flow, lies will spread and pacts will be made and broken, but that’s how you play the Game of Thrones. -- EF
