The Doomsday Conspiracy

Originally Published: 1991
Author: Sidney Sheldon
Genres: Action, Adventure, Romance, Mashup Fiction, Fiction, Espionage, Thriller, Suspense, Science fiction

This was my first book by Late Mr. Sidney Sheldon. The way I got hooked to his writing was by accident and I am glad it happened.

One of my cousins was on a visit and she brought this book with her to our home. One night I was sitting in the dining room, having coffee and thinking about starting a new book. By chance I saw this book; it was on the table across from where I was sitting. I looked at the cover, read a bit from the back cover, and started reading.

I read a few pages and was about to leave for my room when I realized it was not my book so I left it where I found it. But I was already addicted to this new world.

The next day I found the book in the TV lounge and started reading again. Basically, I was reading it in episodes and it was like being on a drug that you can’t have because I didn’t want anyone to know that I am reading it. After all, I was not on talking terms with my cousin. Few days passed like this and then she left and took her book with her. I was still in the middle of the story so the next day I went to the book store and bought a copy of my own.

The story is gripping but sometimes sad, but that is a part of the plot and the mystery is going to make you crazy. Even with all the drama, action, suspense, and thrills, the book is written in a very simple and understandable way. Don’t confuse it with the doomsday conspiracy or the cold war because it has nothing to do with that. It is about something else and you should read it in the book instead of me telling you about it. The pace is almost perfect; you don’t get bored and even with the parts with “sadness.”

Some writers were so accurate about the new world conspiracies, that you start to believe that they had time machines or they already knew what the governments are planning because they had informants working for them. Mr. Sidney Sheldon was one of these writers.


Synopsis:
“OPERATION DOOMSDAY… ACTIVATE…

Commander Robert Bellamy of US Naval Intelligence is dispatched on a top secret mission. A weather balloon carrying sensitive military information has crashed in Switzerland. Bellamy must locate the ten witnesses to the incident so that they can be sworn to secrecy.

But as he conducts his search Bellamy begins to suspect that he, too, is being hunted, by an unknown lethal force… that what he was told about the balloon was only one part of an almost unbelievable happening..”

Influence: Dan Brown the author of The Da Vinci Code, named The Doomsday Conspiracy as the book that inspired him to write thriller fiction, citing its "simplicity of the prose and efficiency of the storyline"


This book and the story are going to make you believe.

Nine Lives

Originally Published: July 2021
Author: Danielle Steel
Genres: Women's Sagas, Women's Friendship Fiction, Family Life Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Women’s fiction, Mothers & Children Fiction, Women's Domestic Life Fiction

After reading about the genres of this book, you may think I read books from this genre also and my answer is yes I read almost everything that I can get my hands on, plus don’t forget, it is written by Miss. Danielle Steel. Who I thought was a man for a long time until I saw her picture and that was something that I will never forget because the same day I found one more blunder in my life and it was about another writer, Late Mr. Sidney Sheldon, I thought he was a woman. I loved his writing and am feeling sad about losing him at the moment while writing about him. I wish he was able to write more because I loved his great ideas. The next review is surely going to be about one of his books.

The books related to genres that are about mothers, women, family, and children are usually eye-openers and teach us a lot of lessons if written properly. No need to write with spice and twists, just a normal family drama and daily situations are enough to make a book famous and number one on any top ranking list. That is why I read these books so I can learn something about how to be good with family and the women around me.

I can’t say that I read all of this author’s books but yes I read a lot of them. If you read her previous books then you kind of know this book also but it is as good as any other book by her. I normally never spoil the story or tell anything about the story but here I must tell something about this one…this story is about a woman who lives a very dull and boring life because of her past and now she is changing because of something from the past. In simple words, if you want an adventure with romance and excitement and be quick and happy about it, then read this book because it feels like the time is flying with this book. It is a fast and easy read and you can actually finish the book in one sitting if nothing else to do.

The bad side of this book is the repetitive stuff and in some cases the wooden and stiff characters but for some these characters can be real and you may start to care for them. Sometimes a book is the same but the way we read or understand it is not the same. Like someone who doesn’t know the author’s style may feel robbed when trying to read this book but for the fans, it is a great story. So the choice is always yours. I am not going to give it full points due to this reason but in my heart, this book deserves a hundred points.


Synopsis:
“NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman who longs to avoid risk at all cost learns that men who love danger are the most exciting in this moving novel from New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.

After a carefree childhood, Mary Margaret Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a dashing daredevil Air Force pilot, died when she was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother warned her to beware of daredevil men and avoid risk at all cost.

Following her mother’s advice, and forgoing the magic of first love with a high school boyfriend who was too wild to feel safe, Maggie instead sought out all the things her mother had lost—a predictable partner, a stable home, and a regular paycheck. She chose to marry a dependable, kind man who was a reliable husband and successful accountant. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life. Until tragedy struck again.

Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from San Francisco to Rome, Paris, and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the very same irresistible, thrill-seeking man she’s spent thirty years trying to forget, Maggie becomes terrified that rushing into love and sharing his life may very well end in disaster. But ultimately, while Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories of her past, fate will surprise her in the most astounding of ways, as she walks the tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.”

I can’t give this book a hundred points even if I want to do that because that will be like cheating with the people who read my reviews and trust me when deciding to buy a book. It has its flaws and many readers may not like this book and the writing style of Miss. Danielle Steel, even some fans may feel angry at the repetitive style or same formula of writing.

I am sure it is unintentional and the concept and story may seem kind of the same but it is not. And for those people who say I can see the plot and story even before it happens…my reply is: I can tell even the dialogue of many movies even before the actors speak; the reason Is very simple, I read a lot, and after you have that much data in your mind, you can really start to act like a supercomputer so just relax and enjoy what you just bought and don’t spoil it for others.

Papillon

Originally Published: 30, April 1969
Author: Henri Charriere
Genres: Historical Latin America Biographies, Historical Germany Biographies, Crime & Criminal Biographies, Biography, adventure, suspense, thriller, True Crime, Historical French Biographies, Drama

This book is in my opinion the granddaddy of prison escape books and movies. The story spans more than fourteen years and is about a guy who was wrongfully accused of a murder he never committed. This book was an immediate success and became a bestseller instantly, achieving widespread fame, and is considered a classic. It was the number one bestseller for twenty-one weeks in France alone, with more than 1.5 million copies sold in France alone. Two hundred thirty-nine editions of the book have since been published worldwide, in twenty-one different languages at the time of writing this review. (28/08/2021)

I bought this book just because I had the offer to buy any book for twenty-five percent price and I was looking for a huge book so I can get the most out of this deal and luckily I found this book. I am glad I choose this and when I started reading this book, I forgot about the time but even with the way it is written, I felt the time stop whenever I was reading about “Papi” pacing in his prison cell. It was hard to read at times when you realize a person was a prisoner for life and had to count every second of it, especially when he was innocent. I actually felt like being with him in the cell when he was in for solidarity. And again with him whenever he was spinning plan after plan for escape. This book and “Papi” are going to teach you so much about life that you can never learn in a free life. It’s about the freedom that we never even notice and just live our lives without appreciating the beauty and happiness around us.

Clearly one of the best reads I ever had. A classic.
The story is all about courage and the will to fight and never giving up in any situation. I learned a lot from this book and it helped me become a better version of myself.

Papi did something in one part that I was not happy about. Without spoiling anything, it is about two sisters. You’ll know what I am talking about when you read the book. Other than that I loved the book.


Synopsis:
“Henri Charrière, nicknamed "Papillon," for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: escape. After planning and executing a series of treacherous yet failed attempts over many years, he was eventually sent to the notorious prison, Devil's Island, a place from which no one had ever escaped . . . until Papillon. His flight to freedom remains one of the most incredible feats of human cunning, will, and endurance ever undertaken.

Charrière's astonishing autobiography, Papillon, was first published in France to instant acclaim in 1968, more than twenty years after his final escape. Since then, it has become a treasured classic--the gripping, shocking, ultimately uplifting odyssey of an innocent man who would not be defeated.”

“A first-class adventure story.” — New York Review of Books.”

Papillon 1973
