...and shorter still.

Doctor Sleep - Stephen King
The Given Sacrifice - S. M. Stirling
Glory Road - Robert A. Heinlein
Into the Storm - Larry Correia
Come and Take Them - Tom Kratman
Treecat Wars - David Weber, Jane M. Lindskold

I've noted my problems with the King novel elsewhere. I've read Glory Road so many times I've lost count. I enjoyed it each time. Stirling provides a nice wrap up for the current arc in the Emberverse series. The Correia, Kratman, and Weber novels are of the expected quality and well worth reading.
