"Caribbean Calling" Is Awesome . . .,
By
This review is from: Caribbean Calling (Paperback)
J. D. Gordon had his thinking cap on when he wrote "Caribbean Calling." Or maybe it was his fireman's hat for the ex-firefighter, paramedic-turned-author has worn them all. Caribbean Calling is a gem of an adventure, with the Caribbean as the playground. Eddie Gilbert wants to change jobs and latches onto an outfit where wearing a weapon is not optional. First assignment: Find Dr. Elaine Keller, a recent medical school graduate, hoping to earn her stethoscope in a small island in the Caribbean. Instead, she finds herself held against her will, then sold to a drug lord. Eddie and his new buddy Mario are sent to bring her out of her hell. This they do, with some of the finest action-packed pages I have read recently. I wholeheartedly recommend "Caribbean Calling" to those looking to escape into a good book.

A great book!,
This review is from: Caribbean Calling (Paperback)
The Author, J.D. Gordon, signed my review copy and it says "Looks like it, but not a kids book!!!". This is certainly true. The cover looks cute and has a YA feeling, but on the inside it's an adult story about cults, government corruption, and human trafficking. I thought Caribbean Calling was an incredible book. It kept me on the edge of my seat, turning pages late at night, needing to know what happens next. My favorite character was Johnathon aka Kangaroo. I loved his attitude and personality, along with his funky accent. I was hoping that he would have been in the story a little bit more. There wasn't a character that I disliked. The plot was written very well. Eddie, who was a hero for being a firefighter, was also a hero for rescuing Elaine. When I was reading, I found no punctuation mistakes or spelling errors. Caribbean Calling is a wonderful read that I highly recommend. However, I agree with the author and recommend it for mature adults, 18 and older.

Misdirection...,
By catsa! (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caribbean Calling (Paperback)
Yes, the pink & blue cover is a complete misdirection - this is a real "boys' own" adventure. The book is amateurish & oh, so very macho, with lots of shootemup scenes & token females. I can see where Gordon is aiming but he's not a patch on Robert G. Barrett or Carl Hiaasen. Eddie Gilbert has a long way to go before he reaches the heights, & depths, of Les Norton & Mick Stranahan.
