There are four in the Worldwar series, and three (currently?) in the sequel series Second Contact.

There will be a final single novel to finish the whole series.

Which series are you referring to? The 4 set World War books, or the new WWII trilogy that started with How Few Remain?

Also, finished Deception Point over the weekend, and it is a great book. Dan Brown knows how to keep you reading the book long after you should have put it down for the night. Now, I need to pick up Digital Fortress.

Just finished re reading George RR Martin's 3 books in the Song of Ice and Fire series. I really got so much more out of it this time around, I just hope he gets the next book out soon, or I will have to re read them again.

Buy ebooks from Baen, they let you download them, in five formats.

For those of you out there who love action and classical literature, try "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde.

Synopsis: an agent of LiteraTec is embroiled in tracking one of the most dangerous men in this alternative modern day England where the Crimean War is still going.

It is being touted as a Harry Potter for adults. While I might not go that far, there are some great moments in this story.

The World War series is finished off by a single book called "Homeworld"
