Die By Wire is a top drawer novel of suspense with many interwoven elements from the risks the public is unaware of in aviation to child brides and the gradual introduction of Sharia law in other countries (and soon here?). An engrossing thriller that really IS thrilling. I was turning the pages to find out what would happen next to Longbow the heroine and I loved the conflicts in the relationships, the deeper emotions than one typically sees in suspense novels. Defintely worth buying!! Highly recommended.

Die By Wire is a fast paced and exciting thriller. Mostly set in Amsterdam, I can (as someone who lived there many years) attest to the accuracy of Mr Perdue's portrayal. Of the climate, atmosphere, street scenes, even the Dutch political scene. It all seems very real. Contemporary and scarily plausible, I recommend this book for any and all who enjoy the genre.

I read it in a day! As always, Perdue has written another page turner to say the least. A cool premise as well. Where does he get these ideas?? I loved cruising through Amsterdam as well.

That's the sound of me responding to Lew Perdue's latest fast-paced, explosive Bestseller, Die By Wire. What a great read....if you like Bourne novels or better, the Matt Damon driven movies, you will be very happy to get a copy of this timely, techno-traveloque-social injustice thriller. Having spent weeks in Amsterdam and its suburbs, I was fascinated by Perdue's uncanny use of time, places and local color. Although, I wish he had included a series of maps. I ended up using a street map of Amsterdam to look up the various locations cited to add another dimension of realism to the story. Did I mention that Mr. Perdue knows weapons and weapon systems? What makes all of his novels seem so spot on contemporary is his excellent use of the lingo and semantics of modern military weaponry and how they are used. His intense research into aircraft avionics and sympathetic coverage and presentation of modern day versus "old ways" Sharia Law would bring both Captain Chesley Sullenberger and Angelina Jolie to tears. In fact Angelina Jolie would be a great Mira Longbow! Indeed, I also know who would be perfect for the "Colonel" depicted on page 133 as well! Needless to say Mr. Perdue is at the top of his form with this top to bottom, wire to wire winner.

This one really sucked me in and was very hard to put down. Its a little disturbing to know how much non-fiction is in there. Don't think I'll be getting on a plane anytime soon.

I have been reading Perdue's books for years and this is the best yet! The premise is creative at a time when everyone is rehashing the same old themes. I am so tired of the same old, same old.

The book is fast, tightly written, and exciting with a twisting plot that leaves the reader on the edge of their seat. The clock is always ticking...All of the characters are smart, strong and resourceful, especially, Mira, the heroine. No dumb blondes or scenes where you can't believe the heroine has done something so out-of-character stupid, just to make the plot work.

And the technology in the book is cutting edge and creative. What fun to see it in action. If you love a really good, fast-paced action thriller, this one is for you!

This book starts off fast and doesn't let up -- hard to put down. It's a fun, exciting, fast-paced read - perfect summer beach reading -- in the winter! I recommend it! (I even paid full price!)

This is a really good novel that keeps you captivated throughout the story. The heroine reminded me of myself when I was a bit younger, not the action but the love aspects I mean. I enjoyed every page of it and look forward to reading more of this author. I have even recommended it to some of my closest friends because I liked it so much.

As a writer of thrillers, Lew Perdue can't be topped. Exiting read. This is his umpteen thriller. Where does he get this stuff? Amazing!
