Binging on Taylor Anderson's Destroyermen series and Robert Crais's Elvis Cole/Joe Pike books.

Anderson's writing style drives me crazy at times...he relies more upon ellipses than anyone I've ever seen (besides myself -wink-). And he tends to recap in each book far too much, and can go long stretches with very little plot progression.

Nonetheless, I find the characters, though somewhat cliched, strangely addictive and compelling. It's one of those series that you keep thinking while reading, "This would make a great HBO series."

In fairness, it seems that it's one of those originally planned as a trilogy that the author kept going after the books caught on with the public. I'm on Book 4 (of twelve so far), and hopefully it's just transitioning from the original tightly-plotted books to an expanding alternate reality fantasy universe. Think GRRM with GoT Bks. 4 & 5.

I loved this. One of the best non-fiction books that I have read in quite some time. I highly recommend it.

Started:
