Outstanding!,
This review is from: Controlled Defense (Paperback)
Mike Nemsky's life is about to be turned upside down. A man with a mind that should not be wasted, finds himself without a job and uncertain of his future. Money is becoming tight and needs have to be met, a solution has to be found. This is how we are introduced to the main character of Mr. Tanos's book , Controlled Defenses. I have to admit, at first I was getting very angry at this man for just sitting around his living room and not taking the initiative to remedy his problem.He sounded like a wimp at first, allowing his ex-wife to bully him, and learning he had lost a lot of money in past inventions, while others made a killing, it made me mad! That's good for a book to stir emotions in you towards the main character! Soon however, Mike comes up with an idea that will revolutionize football as we know it. He sets out to bring his idea into fruition.You are taken step by step with Mike as he puts his plan into action, using a technology that is placed in the helmet of the player, guaranteed to bring a win to the team. Quite a plan for victory! Now he must put his plan into action, but how?
On a night out Mike meets a man that will change his life. Sal Begalo was the Director of Player Personnel for the Hamilton Courgars. Mike, while in an intoxicated state, lets his plan slip out to Sal who immediately decided he wanted a piece of the action . Mike was not sure, as he wanted his favorite team, the Buffalo Bulls, to have the benefit of his invention. Sal promised him that after a trial run with his team he would make sure they did. Mike also meets a girl, Carla, and falls in love. This is a nice add of tenderness to the storyline. One women will appreciate. To his pleasure she is also very adapt in computers and immediately picks up on what Mike is doing. As it may be, her input only sweetens the pot for Mike, giving him ideas to make his invention better. The games begin! Mike's invention is used by Sal's team and success is made. Money is flowing and all is going well until the faithful day when an accident happens and their plot is uncovered. This sends Sal, Mike and Carla on a run for their lives. There are many twists and turns to the story, that would be too complicated for this reviewer to write here. Let me say this, you will not be bored in this read! Football fans will love this book.Computer gurus will as well. Its technical and also adventurous at the same time.You have another winner Mr. Tanos! Good for you!
