“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

I'm Dominic.
I am currently wading through a tall heap of Lee Child's books, mainly because I liked the Jack Reacher fillums with Tom Cruise. Apparently Mr Child is less than happy about having his six foot odd subject in the books being played by a short arse in the shape of Mr Cruise

Hi Dominic,
You may have already them, but if you like the Lee Child books, then I can recommend the Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter and the Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbo.
Kind regards
John

'The Victorian Parson' by Barry Turner.
‘The Book Seller of Kabul’ by Åsne Seierstad
ISBN 1 54408 047 1 (Virago © 2003)
Read this a couple of years ago, but thought I would read it again as I enjoyed it first time round.

I just finished reading 'Pygmy', by Chuck Palahnuik.
If ever a book was to divide opinion it's this story. It took me a couple of chapters to 'get it', then I realised what fun it was in a slightly wicked sort of way. Certainly very different and imaginative. Review: https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...lahniuk-review Palahnuik by the way, wrote 'Fight Club'.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
