4.0 out of 5 stars Only 'dropped' the book when I finished it, January 1, 2010

This review is from: Double Drop (Paperback)

This book is a nice blend of techno-thriller, murder-mystery, & damn good story.

It's got everything; An opening scene that grips you and pulls you in, a flawed protagonist, a wealth of in-depth color of the author's home town, a cabal secretly pulling the strings, a ham radio setup, & some really yummy sounding food.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the first few chapters were too technically put together. The editing appeared rushed and while all the relevant story detail was there the flow was strained.

But a damned good read!

Double Drop rappels the reader into ta swirl of tension, intrigue and danger amid the stunning high Sierra and its beautiful yet fragile caves. Author Hurtt mixes nail-biting action with a seasoning of wry humor in his story of a grop of cavers caught up in high-level political intrigue played for deadly stakes.
