Book Description

October 1, 2003

EYE IN THE SKY

Cyclops One: America's most advanced airborne laser system. Capable of taking out a dozen missiles and warplanes from three hundred miles away, it will change the face of combat forever -- perhaps rendering war itself obsolete. Until the plane carrying it vanishes in a storm over the Canadian Rockies.

With the specter of sabotage -- or something worse -- looming over the entire operation, America's top investigators are called onto the case. The best is Special Agent Andy Fisher, whose irreverent manner and unorthodox techniques have gained him the reputation as both a genius and a wild card within the FBI. As Fisher's investigation deepens, more questions emerge about the laser, the hyper-secretive private agency that developed it, and the true motives of those involved in the Cyclops One project -- a conspiracy that may end with the beginning of World War III....

5.0 out of 5 stars Craft and Style, July 29, 2004
By 
This review is from: Cyclops One (Mass Market Paperback)
Jim DeFelice is a writer with craft and style. His character development goes beyond the pedestrian and trite descriptions of other action authors. He puts you in the pocket of FBI agent Andy Fisher as his right-brain analyses keep his cohorts two steps behind his cloud of cigarette smoke. Makes you want to have a scotch and a smoke with him - just don't offer to play barroom darts!

I first discovered DeFelice's writing in his opening four paragraphs of 'Wolf Flight' in Coonts' 'Victory - On The Attack'. His opening page of 'Wolf Flight' took me over with his striking literary beauty. What clarity and significance of writing! It's the kind of writing that English professors should assign as Summer reading to incoming freshmen. The kind of writing perfection that the book critics miss every day, to their eternal shame.

Put DeFelice on your Author Search. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't miss the thrills!, October 20, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Cyclops One (Mass Market Paperback)
What Arthur Conan Doyle did for detective fiction, Jim DeFelice does for the techno-thriller. And CYCLOPS ONE certainly lives up to expectations. Andy Fisher, the flip, funny hero of the novel, drives this nail-biter like a runaway freight train. DeFelice fans get ready for the ride of your life!

5.0 out of 5 stars EDGE OF YOUR SEAT EXCITEMENT!, October 3, 2003
This review is from: Cyclops One (Mass Market Paperback)
DeFelice pulls out all the stops in his techno arsenal creating vivid characters amid up to date world events. His chain-smoking FBI agent, Fisher, is one of the most vivid heroes in the genre. I couldn't put it down.
