Commander Ken Carodine (yes, this gent is a Naval Reserve Officer) has produced a wonderful, well paced, finely constructed military thriller. The plot is virtually flawless, every twist and turn is plausible. The characters are deftly developed, with each individual's past subtlely combined with the action. Ken's prose is crisp and descriptive, portraying the details without bogging down the reader's interest. I would not be surprised to find All The Tea the focus of a Hollywood studio in the near future.

I read the book based on the reviews; I was not disappointed. The book it fast-paced with interesting characters that seem like real people with real problems we all experience today. The plot was intelligent with several unexpected twists. The Navy backdrop was interesting and believable because of the author's great attention to detail and knowledge.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It made me think about our relationship with China and how it continues to evolve. For me a good book leaves me thinking - this one is a real winner.

"All the Tea" is a page turner! I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the pacing, and the characters of this truly unique novel. It has to be the first Naval Reserve novel in this genre. The plot is timely and fresh. The characters make you love, hate, cheer and boo.

I recommend this to anyone who loves Naval or international intrigue. It is a winner.

All the Tea is great! It has a strong plot, engaging characters, and enough realism to make you wonder. The author leaves the door open for additional books with the same characters, and I can't wait until they are available.

The story has enough intersecting sub-plots to keep things interesting, but maintains a strong basic story line throughout. Overall, this is a great read that I highly recommend.

The book was a gift for my spouse and he loved it!! He looks forward to reading more.

This book is a real stinker. The plot is just OK, but the real problem is that Carodine can't write his way out of a damp paper bag. His prose is hackneyed, and his characters are weird stereotypes. He's an obvious Tom Clancy wannabe, but Carodine is actually a worse writer than Clancy, which is saying something.

Just recently came across this book and couldn't put it down. "All the Tea" is available in paperback under the title "Nuclear Dragon." We need more books from Ken Carodine!

I really got this book for my step-son in Michigan. He's a state trooper and really goes for the 'good triumphs over evil'.

I read through the first chapter just to be sure it seemed like something he'd like ... darned if I didn't get hooked. Wound up buying another copy so I could finish it.

It is soooooo nice to get a book like that. Doesn't happen often.

All the Tea, by Ken Carodine, kept me on the edge of my seat! Follow the hero on this fast paced international thriller. You'll be absorbed by all of the twists and turns and find yourself up at all hours of the night trying to outsmart and out maneuver his adversaries. I was biting my nails for Ben and his new family, hoping for the best outcome.

It's the author's first published work, and I'm eagerly anticipating the next one.

All the Tea is just what I've waited for. Ken Carodine is in the league of techno-thriller authors of Robert Ludlum, Clive Cussler, and Tom Clancy. Well written and believable, it had me on the edge of my seat. Where's the next one?
