I am absolutely loving this series of books. It should be said though that Milton is definitely his own character and there are more differences to be drawn than similarities between Reacher and Milton. Specifically in his attendance at AA meetings. I have to give Mark full marks for the plot here. It just flows beautifully and I enjoyed how he managed to incorporate characters from the previous book. Apart from Neagley and the like, Reacher often leaves characters behind and we never see them again. Here in the Milton series perhaps things might be a little different. The story here is very strong. Numerous plot twists completely took me by surprise and I was once again in awe at how Milton uses his skills to get out of situations that you and I would completely go to pieces in. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars however is because of what I said at the start of the review. This book had a more relaxed feel to proceedings, while the plot flowed nicely there were still elements that were tied up a little too neatly. That said it was still a truly fantastic read and a great addition to what is shaping up to be one hell of a series. If you are yet to check the series out for yourself, I highly recommend that you do. This, the third, in the John Milton series is the best yet. Milton is now in San Francisco holding down two jobs: independent taxi driver and ice deliverer. He likes to read. They arrive at a fancy house in a wealthy neighborhood. She disappears. Milton has to walk a fine line in any interactions with the police but he feels a sense of duty -- more on that later -- and teams up with her boyfriend to try and find Madison, the hooker. Well-developed story. Aug 30, Barry rated it really liked it. The Driver was another good solid book in the John Milton series. Milton was a British spy and assassin and decided to quit. His employers though his retirement should be from the human race so he is on the run and doing good deeds to people in trouble wherever he seems to be. He is currently driving a hack insider lingo for taxi in San Francisco and he picks a girl who asks to be driven to house out in the boondocks insider lingo for boondocks for a party. He decides to stay to make sure tha The Driver was another good solid book in the John Milton series. He decides to stay to make sure that she is okay, being the good hearted Brit that he is no, that is not an oxymoron. Later he hears a scream, runs into the house and all hell breaks loose. Like the other two books by Dawson that I have read, I enjoyed the ride. The plot is clever but nearly believable, the pace is good and the characters are interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone enjoying super tough guy agent types doing good stuff. If you are tempted to read it, you might consider starting with the first book in the series although that is not critical. May 09, Tom rated it it was amazing. Just read it! Political hacks!

Another excellent episode in what is becoming a must-read series for me, 'The Driver', while not just as strong as the first two books, is a fast-moving thriller and excellent entertainment. Following on 3 months after the events in Mexico, John Milton is lying low in San Francisco, working two jobs, as a taxi driver and delivery man, while trying to find time to attend AA meetings. It is in the order job that he takes a young woman, who turns out to be a call-girl, to a party from which she flee Another excellent episode in what is becoming a must-read series for me, 'The Driver', while not just as strong as the first two books, is a fast-moving thriller and excellent entertainment. It is in the order job that he takes a young woman, who turns out to be a call-girl, to a party from which she flees and disappears. Milton, still atoning for his past 'sins', feels responsible and begins to investigate. The investigation takes on increased urgency when the bodies of other call- girls are found. The more leisurely pace of the plot means that Milton has time to develop some semblance of a personal life with a woman he meets at AA. Beau Baxter from 'Saint Death' also makes an appearance which serves to broaden Milton's world too. I am really taken by the whole 'James Bond, Licence Revoked' nature of these book and, while tighter editing may have been needed in places at times there were references to two 'He's' with some confusion to whom the 'he' referred , I am really looking forward to 'Ghosts' and the introduction of Beatrix Rose. Jan 21, Marley rated it it was amazing. Zipping right through these marvelous books. He's attending AA meetings trying to make amends for his Group days, getting a bit of peace in his life.

Again mayhem ensues when Madison disappears mysteriously and John feels a responsibilithy to find her--even more urgently when bodies of other high-end hookers show up. He and her boyfrirend, whom he befriends, are also suspects, so he's got an even better reason to get to the truth. The Driver is a a whodonit, not espionate or thriller in the sense of spies. John only takes out a few degenerates along the way, but he sure does even the score. Dare I suggest that the governor of California is based in part on Bill Clinton, but there's also Trumpiness about him and Arlen Crawford a bit of Karl Rove, but well,more vicious.

One evening he has to take his fare, a young woman, to a party in an exclusive neighbourhood. Due to the weather, and the location, he offers to wait for her and drive her back into the city.

She then disappears, but the police don't seem to be taking her disappearance seriously, and Milton decides to step in and help out. Once again the characters are well thought out, as is the plot, although some of the writing is not quite up to par with the previous books in the series. There is something about this series which hooks me in as a reader, yet I can't actually put my finger on what it is. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next installment. Better than Saint Death. I enjoyed this story a little more and thought the reasons for getting involved and the story were more engaging. However, I have now got to a point where I don't fear for Milton at all. He is so aggressive and mouthy to most people and is almost invincible. Hopefully the series fleshes him out and brings in some legit danger going forward. A good, fast paced read. Jun 24, Maggie rated it liked it. This is third book in series. Really do not understand the great reviews for this to be frank. John Milton is an ex hitman who would kill someone as soon as look at them and then go for a meal and sleep like a baby without a care in the world. However John does the absolute opposite. He is working as a taxi driver living pay check to pay check. While working he picks up a girl in his taxi. While chatting John discovers she is a prostitute. John agrees to take her to her next job and decides to wait for her as its an isolated neighbourhood. The story progresses in this way. Would see it as a middle of the road read but easily instantly forgettable. Feb 10, Bob Ryan rated it it was ok. This is Dawson's third in the John Milton series. Milton is still running from his British overseers and finds himself in San Francisco as a tax driver. He delivers a young lady to a party and the story begins. Its a solid plot, the villain is substantial and the supporting characters are adequate. It's a short book so there's not a lot of back story that Dawson included in the first two volumes of Milton. I missed the back story, it helped to hide the shallowness of the Milton character. I just This is Dawson's third in the John Milton series. I just finished the first book in Silva's "Gabriel Allon" series. Comparing Milton to Allon really discloses the weaknesses in writing, plot and character development between the two.

Some of the drivers in the stack might participate by transforming the request from one format to another. These drivers do not communicate directly with the device; they just manipulate the request and pass the request along to drivers that are lower in the stack. The one driver in the stack that communicates directly with the device is called the function driver ; the drivers that perform auxiliary processing are called filter drivers. We could expand our definition of driver by saying that a driver is any software component that observes or participates in the communication between the operating system and a device. Our expanded definition is reasonably accurate but is still incomplete because some drivers are not associated with any hardware device at all. For example, suppose you need to write a tool that has access to core operating system data structures, which can be accessed only by code running in kernel mode. You can do that by splitting the tool into two components. The first component runs in user mode and presents the user interface. The second component runs in kernel mode and has access to the core operating system data. The component that runs in user mode is called an application, and the component that runs in kernel mode is called a software driver. A software driver is not associated with a hardware device. For more information about processor modes, see User Mode and Kernel Mode. This diagram illustrates a user-mode application communicating with a kernel-mode software driver. Software drivers always run in kernel mode. The main reason for writing a software driver is to gain access to protected data that is available only in kernel mode. But device drivers do not always need access to kernel-mode data and resources. So some device drivers run in user mode. He rushes through the hotel but is not in time to stop all of the bloodshed.

View 1 comment. Aug 01, Basia rated it it was ok. So here we go. Buckle your seatbelts, kiddos. The Driver has a really slow beginning. One of my largest problems with the novel is that you can tell Hart Hanson is used to writing television scripts. Especially at the beginning of the novel, it reads more like a screenplay, and throughout, the narrative is peppered with superfluous descriptions—in scripts, you have to tell so you can show on the screen, but in a novel, all you have to do is show. There were times when I felt like Hanson wanted me to sit down and draw out a roadmap of LA and the surrounding areas while he was driving. There were paragraphs of this stuff. It was painful. My main problem, though, is just with Hart Hanson. Michael Skellig is not a likeable protagonist. He has all the makings of the antihero trope. Too many times I felt like Hanson would show me Skellig doing or saying or thinking something that would make my lip curl, and then immediately trying to get me to like him again. Skellig would objectify a woman or talk about how he wanted to get a woman into bed, but then Hanson would remind me that Skellig is madly in love with and wants to marry a woman who just wants to keep things casual, as if that was some sort of excuse. As if him lusting after women—one of them being her best friend—now was supposed to make sense. Hanson would insist, a little desperately. This book was also pretty horrible about women. Skellig being a misogynist and an asshole is one thing. Hanson trying to make me excuse him for it or Hanson just straight-up being those things himself are another. I guess because Skellig told the reader himself multiple times that he was an asshole, that was supposed to make up for it because he was self-aware? I could honestly rant about the ridiculousness of the treatment of women in this book for ages. The tense changes a lot, too. Sometimes in the middle of chapters. Maybe they were still trying to decide which tense to use? Fixed it. Get rekt, Hart Hanson. View all 5 comments. Mar 17, Sue Em rated it really liked it. Adrenalin - filled thriller.

So far, he's gathered a small group of them around him in his limo company. It's more than just a company, it's a family -- a place for them all to heal. These are the strangest, most tragic, yet funniest group of characters you're likely to meet this year. You'll This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader. You'll be glad that Hanson introduced you to them as well as being a little angry that he does what he does to them. Avila blackmails Skellig into driving for him regularly no, really which gets Skellig involved in Avila's less-than-legal activities. All Skellig is trying to do is keep Avila alive -- and maybe find out why people are trying to kill him. But Avila's criminal associates and rivals don't understand that, they think Skellig is an accomplice, assistant, or just generally in cahoots with Avila. So they come looking for a pound of flesh from Skellig and his little found family, hoping that'll result in them getting what Avila owes them. All it does is provoke Skellig. Skellig isn't your typical thriller figure -- he's got a couple of PhD's -- one in mathematics, a sense of duty and loyalty, a knack for categorizing people using Hippocrates' four humors hey, it beats Myers—Briggs Types -- at least for entertainment value , and an odd sense of humor. I don't know that Hanson's setting this up as a series, but if he is, Skellig is going to be one of my favorite series' leads soon. I just don't know what to say about him. He's an interesting weasel of a character. There are times when you'd like Skellig to just walk away and let the police or some criminal or another take him out. Other times you feel sorry for the kid and hope someone protects him from himself and his dumb choices. The plot moves quickly -- not so much that you don't get invested in characters, their hopes, dreams, phobias -- and steadily. There's a wit to the writing, as well as to the dialogue. Skellig's right-hand-man is his former interpreter, an Afghan man, is wise, funny and wily -- he's also Skellig's conscience pretty often. The two of them going back and forth is one of the highlights of the month for me. Really, for a debut, this is some outstanding work. Ari Fliakos does a fantastic job -- accents, voices, emotions, humor -- he nails them all. Last year, I listened to his narration of Mr. Penumbra's Hour Bookstore , which was easily as good as this. But I didn't recognize his voice -- the only reason I know both books had the same reader is that's what the Internet tells me -- the performance he gives is so good. I've got to make a point of listening to more things with his name on them. Just as smart, just as witty, just as. This is probably the best thing that Hanson's ever brought into the world, I hope this is the first in a long line of novels from him. I'm always bouncing back and forth between more "serious" non-fiction books, "literary" books, books I read for research, and books in the genre I write in: crime thrillers. I knew very little about Hart Hanson. Very quickly, however, I knew Hanson is writer with a unique talent. The "voice" that came through in the first per I'm always bouncing back and forth between more "serious" non-fiction books, "literary" books, books I read for research, and books in the genre I write in: crime thrillers. The "voice" that came through in the first person narrative captivated me. Listening to Michael Skellig, the protagonist, was lots of fun. Skelling is fresh, intriguing, and attractive. But when the story line became too sketchy and jumpy, that "voice" wasn't enough to carry this novel to success. Too much seemed too forced too often. That included characters, plot points, Skellig's sudden ability to beat down and maim bad guys in unbelievable situations, and that thing with being able to hear the voices of dead people- albeit only ones that he killed. Hey look, the Bones guy wrote a book! And it's pretty dang good! I'm an easy mark for crime fiction with unconventional main characters, and this certainly scratches that itch with its vet limo company owner with a wildly mismatched family.

I'm between 4 and 4. When I saw that Hart Hanson, creator of the television show Bones , had written a thriller, I jumped on it pretty quickly. And while there are certainly similarities between the show and the book, particularly the smart-ass banter between the characters, The Driver is a rip-roaring, complex, humorous, and satisfying thrill ride, with some fantastically memorable characters. Michael Skellig is a limo driver, the owner of his own limousine company. A former I'm between 4 and 4. A former Army Special Forces officer who has seen and done things he doesn't like to talk or think about, he hears voices on the wind of those he has killed in the past. But strangely, these voices don't mean him harm, they warn him of impending danger, and sometimes force him to wise up before something goes totally awry. Skellig's employees are all fellow veterans, each with their own set of issues to deal with, whether physical, emotional, or cultural. Do they tell me things I don't know or things I just don't know consciously? Are those voices my own guilty subconscious trying to tell me something and the only way to get my attention is to speak to me in the voices of those whose lives I've taken? Or do ghosts actually exist? While waiting for Avila to come out of a hotel, he is waiting with his car in an alley when the voice of one of his victims warns him that trouble is on the way. He rushes into the hotel and is able to thwart an attack on Avila's life, although in the process one of Avila's bodyguards is killed. And when Skellig wakes up in the hospital a few hours later, he finds himself the only suspect in the bodyguard's murder. Being at the right and wrong place at the right and wrong time throws Skellig into the midst of Avila's problems, which further intensify around the time he blackmails Skellig into becoming his personal driver. People around Avila keep winding up dead, and Skellig is too curious and too noble just to let things unfold around him. And as the danger mounts for Skellig and his colleagues, it also causes friction in his relationships with his sometime-girlfriend and attorney , Connie, and his friend and periodic nemesis, Detective Delilah Groopman, Connie's best friend, with whom Skellig has always been a bit infatuated. The Driver is a wild ride which will make one hell of a movie. Hanson has created some complex characters whom I hope to see more of, and as you might imagine, he has a knack for memorable dialogue and some pretty fantastic action scenes. He throws in some gimmicks as well which irritated me a little—in trying to describe how one character speaks, he writes many of the words this character says In Capital Letters, and another tends to talk in fragments, so. He writes. That way. See what I mean? But those quirks aside, I really enjoyed this book and hope it's just the start of a long relationship with Skellig and his ragtag band of compatriots. This is a fun, cool read, and hopefully it marks the start of a fantastic writing career for Hanson. Thanks for making this available! View all 20 comments.

I could see this book as a movie, or even a TV series with the core group of characters getting involved in another zany adventure each week. My favorite character was Bismarck Avila, a skateboarding hip-hop mogul. However the main group was comprised of Michael Skellig no nickname the owner of a limo service and his employees Ripple, Lucky and Tinkertoy. Skellig winds up being the driver for Avila and that puts him at the center of a series of criminal and violent situations. The book generally had a jokey tone, although at the end it became very violent. Everyone in it is a wiseass. The women in the book had responsible jobs detective, doctor, lawyer but they really just existed to be hit on by one of the male characters, who are apparently irresistible. The book was pretty entertaining, but I doubt that I would dvr the series. The tone would get tiresome over time. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. Jul 10, Thamy rated it liked it. This is a book I had problems measuring how much I liked but it's undeniable that I liked it. So let's call it a 3. Skellig is veteran and now a limo driver who is forced to work for a skater celebrity, whose life he had just saved. However, danger is not over and Skellig has just gotten himself in a mess so big even his friends could be in danger. This is an action-filled thriller narrated in first person by Skellig, who also tends to speak to the reader. I'm not sure I can call it a different This is a book I had problems measuring how much I liked but it's undeniable that I liked it. I'm not sure I can call it a different style but it surely isn't conventional. It has its cons, though. I think Skellig is a character who would work much better on a screen, he has this attitude and he loves trying to evade by being funny, except his jokes aren't funny, not even to the characters in the book. I'm sure that would be great on a TV, when you're able to see the face he's making at that moment. In fact, most of the funny scenes would have been funnier if played by an actor, so I think I'd watch a live action of this book. Now, as a book, it also is quite enjoyable. Even though I'd frown most of the time to Skellig's attitude, it got to a point I'd giggle just because he was doing it again. I definitely can't complain about him being out of character. As for the plot, we have some mystery but the plot twists aren't strong. I think this is more the type of story for you to enjoy as it happens instead of feeling excited about what hasn't yet. Just sit and enjoy, I'd say. The really big flaw is the romance. I wasn't even expecting any to happen but as it did I need to mention this: what the hell? Actually, I was generous calling it romance. Skellig's love? One page he was head over heels and even heartbroken about Connie the lawyer, and then he'd be thinking again and going after Delilah the detective All that in a weird, borderline-bipolar manner. I think Hanson was going for a love triangle because, in theory, there was lots of potential. He failed. I wish those parts were just erased from the story, they were just too weird. I almost forgot to mention but Hanson was obviously worried about diversity. I won't got in details but he's got almost all here. Immigrants, people with disability, homosexuals and, of course, women. I view this positively, despite the main guy still being a white American man, so I think those more knowledgeable in this could raise concerns. For me, I say, "yay! I don't usually read book written by men, action, book starred by men I had a great time, and I hope to read Hanson's next work soon. I wonder if this will be made into a series? The story was pretty much closed but I feel there's a chance. Many thanks to the publisher for giving me this opportunity. A lot of humor, as well as serious thoughts about the plight of our veterans. Larry H wrote an excellent review of this title review- read it, and also take note of his totally fab new pic!

It had all the elements you love, but with a touch of humor. Mich Big thanks to Dutton Books for the copy in exchange for my honest review! His current client is a skateboarding mogul, Bismarck Avila and his bodyguards. Skellig is also the owner of the limo company and he, along with his group of employees, is a veteran. Specifically an Army Special Forces sergeant and his training kicks in — something changes in the wind causing him to think one thing: troubletroubletrouble. He goes running in to get Avila and just in time, because two Chechen gunman attack and kill one bodyguard and put Skellig in the hospital. When he wakes up in the hospital he finds himself in custody and is the only person of interest in this murder. Will he be able to clear his name and save Avila? I loved the writing. While some people might find it to be overly descriptive or, at times, too comical, I felt that it worked very well for this book! I love when thrillers and mysteries have all of the elements we love but also have something that sets them apart. The characters were great and the mystery was there to keep the pages turning. The relationships and interactions between the characters were genuine and showed how unique they all were — with most being wounded veterans, Hanson presents the different mental effects very well. There were some violent parts towards the end, so that added to the thriller elements we know and love sometimes. Overall, I loved the added humor. Hart Hanson perfectly meshes comedy with mystery!

Skellig barges onto the scene just in time to save his client and to involve himself and his crew in a world of trouble involving deceit, millions, corrupt law enforcement, and all the action sequences your heart could desire. Fans of Carl Hiassen will absolutely love this crime fiction debut from Hart Hanson. The novel is terrifically sharp. I grinned through much of the book with a good number of involuntary guffaws sprinkled in. The story is filled with a wild cast of characters and circumstances. Skellig's narrative is wonderfully fun in the face of some pretty dire situations. A quick and pleasurable read. Recommended for a reader looking for a good time and a must-read for Hiassen fans. He owns a limo company that employs some vets and an Afghan interpreter who are fighting their own demons. The company has three limos, 1 with all the bells and whistles, 1 classic and 1 that is probably haunted. Celebrity skateboard mogul, Bismarck Avila, prefers to ride in style. He rushes through the hotel but is not in time to stop all of the bloodshed. Their struggles were real and their devotion to each other was clear. The plot is action packed, thrilling and suspenseful with twists galore. Dangerous situations valiantly described brought the drama to life. I can easily see this book made into a movie. The story had me on the edge of my seat. I am not sure if this book will become part of a series, these characters went through so much in this one. He is definitely an author I want to see more from. I keep hearing this referred to as "a thriller" and I'm not sure that's how I would classify it but I don't always know when something shifts from thriller to mystery or suspense. I laughed aloud more than once. It is clear that Hanson as a show runner for Bones knows characters and dialogue and that is where this novel shines. It is really hard for me to p I keep hearing this referred to as "a thriller" and I'm not sure that's how I would classify it but I don't always know when something shifts from thriller to mystery or suspense. It is really hard for me to pick a favorite because they are all so layered and delightful. I'm not sure what I would have rated it if I didn't listen to the audio but the narration is so good that it cemented it as a 5 Star read for me. Jun 24, Claire rated it did not like it Shelves: unfinishable. It is sickening to read both on an intellectual level given the nature of white male perpetrators of sexually violent crimes on disabled people, racial minorities, and women and in a gut emotional level. View 1 comment. Aug 01, Basia rated it it was ok. So here we go. Buckle your seatbelts, kiddos. The Driver has a really slow beginning. One of my largest problems with the novel is that you can tell Hart Hanson is used to writing television scripts. Especially at the beginning of the novel, it reads more like a screenplay, and throughout, the narrative is peppered with superfluous descriptions—in scripts, you have to tell so you can show on the screen, but in a novel, all you have to do is show. There were times when I felt like Hanson wanted me to sit down and draw out a roadmap of LA and the surrounding areas while he was driving. There were paragraphs of this stuff. It was painful. My main problem, though, is just with Hart Hanson. Michael Skellig is not a likeable protagonist. He has all the makings of the antihero trope. Too many times I felt like Hanson would show me Skellig doing or saying or thinking something that would make my lip curl, and then immediately trying to get me to like him again. Skellig would objectify a woman or talk about how he wanted to get a woman into bed, but then Hanson would remind me that Skellig is madly in love with and wants to marry a woman who just wants to keep things casual, as if that was some sort of excuse. As if him lusting after women—one of them being her best friend—now was supposed to make sense. Hanson would insist, a little desperately. This book was also pretty horrible about women. Skellig being a misogynist and an asshole is one thing. Hanson trying to make me excuse him for it or Hanson just straight-up being those things himself are another. I guess because Skellig told the reader himself multiple times that he was an asshole, that was supposed to make up for it because he was self-aware? I could honestly rant about the ridiculousness of the treatment of women in this book for ages. The tense changes a lot, too. Sometimes in the middle of chapters. Maybe they were still trying to decide which tense to use? Fixed it. Get rekt, Hart Hanson. View all 5 comments. Mar 17, Sue Em rated it really liked it. Adrenalin - filled thriller. Original characters. Story told with intelligence and humor. Really View 2 comments. This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader. He also came back with a burden to help Vets. So far, he's gathered a small group of them around him in his limo company. But when their base is attacked, a massive explosion summons a swarm of the undead. They escape and must seek out the Haven, a rumored sanctuary up north, while the father teaches his daughter to shoot, drive, and survive before time runs out. Average movie, story, acting. Nothing outstanding, however, I did feel for the daughter. Watchable if nothing else available. Looking for some great streaming picks?
