Although I've thoroughly enjoyed Kyle Mills's prior books, I held off on this one in fear that it would be an anti-tobacco rant.

Wholly concur and recommend Ted Dekker. Excellent author with really fresh and unusual Christian fiction. I've not yet read BLINK, but it's on order. I have read TH3EE (sp?), as well as all three books of the CIRCLE trilogy. Excellent reading.

I read ~100 novels per year, primarily thrillers when I can find good ones. I'm always on the lookout for great fiction.

I loved the first of the "black/white/red" trilogy," but didn't like how he developed it. "Three" was ok. "Blink" is much better.

Don't worry about "Smoke Screen" being an anti-tobacco rant. I think he offers a way out of this whole mess. :)

By the way, if you haven't read Caleb Carr, "The Alienist," that is very good. His second book, I didn't think, was quite as gripping. And I love all Nelson DeMille books.
