I just finished The Venom Business by Michael Crichton, using the pseudonym John Lange. I thought I had read all of Crichton's novels, but it turns out he wrote eight novels under the Lange pseudonym while he was in medical school. (So there are seven more Crichton novels I can hunt up!) In any case, this one involves a smuggler who gets involved as a bodyguard for an old school friend, and after a couple assassination attempts has to start wondering if maybe he isn't the target, not the friend. It's a "men's action/adventure" novel, with a bit of mystery added in (and some scientific background stuff, as is typical for Crichton). It was a good read.
Next up, I'll be starting Driving Heat, allegedly by Richard Castle of the "Castle" TV show - but ghostwritten by a person unknown. These novels are supposed to be the ones Richard Castle wrote during the TV series, but I have to mentally transfer the characters to their TV roles as I read them. (For example, Richard Castle is Jameson Rook, and Kate Beckett is Nikki Heat.) The others have been okay; we'll see how this one goes.
