4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Twist, April 13, 2002

Great book, it is not often that an author can come up with such a comprehensive book as this on his first try. This had it all, a great story, good characters, wonderful action and a quick pace. This is an exciting book that at its heart is a conspiracy theory. Ok the story is almost not believable, but if you close one eye and get into it you will have fun. The taking of the whole East vs. West story line and throwing in cult like clan was very interesting. Each time I was ready for a plot twist, action or drama it was there. The characters just explode in your memory - you do not get them out of your head. The ending was also a good one - you are expecting something close but the author has come up with something better. I was a little disappointed in the love story, it seemed forced, almost like the publisher said the book would sell better with the love story. Overall, this was a great effort.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably insipid, April 26, 2002

By 

Paul Berlin (Berlin,Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Disciples (Paperback)

The story is totally insane. Private mercenary groups operating inside the US. A "family" with information about each and every country. And as usual, only one man to stop them. It is simply boring. While it might be acceptable for conspiracy freaks who believe that it was really the CIA who killed Kennedy and think that "Area 51" is a top secret military base with live aliens, the normal person would think it wild, to be classed as sci-fi or fantasy. A person who has read Dale Brown, Tom Clancy, or Larry Bond would know this is absolutly impossible. If you want something worth your time, get "Nimitz Class" or "Day of the Cheetah" (while "Day of the Cheetah" is more of a flyer's story, its beginning is extremely interesting).
