W. Laurence Willis' debut novel, Freedom's Menace is an action-packed adventure that pits heroic agent Trevor Brice against evil mastermind An Lolo. This Asian mastermind has secured the title of Chinese premier and wages a war of terror against the United States. The secret of Lolo's power lies hidden in the volcanic fires of Hawaii; Trevor Brice must brave the wrath of Pele the Fire Goddess and many more mundane dangers to uncover the truth and save America. Freedom's Menace is a fast-paced, vivacious read that can confidently be recommended for personal reading lists and community library collections.

This is an excellent summer read, especially if you're going to Hawaii. Freedom's Menace is set on the Big Island and centers around the Kilauea volcano. Not only is this story action packed, I also learned a lot. I like a good mix of reality with my fiction. This is a well constructed, seamless novel.

Highly recommended!

Excellent effort for a first time novelist. I would have given it 5 stars, but the start was a bit slow. Not to worry, the author makes up for it in spades with a thrilling ride through a volcano. Yes, inside a volcano. I'm heading for Hawaii to view this first hand. I vote this work "a must read" and recommend it to all my friends.

Freedom's Menace has a thrilling ride in a volcano. It was hard to put the book down. Each time I did, I picked it right back up. I can't wait for the next book and hope it is very soon.

This book is killer. Strongly recommended for all who enjoy action novels. The author really knows how to spin an interesting web. Give this a read, You will not be disappointed.

This is an excellent book, one I recommend to all readers of action novels. Finally, someone has developed a realistic character, who shares the human condition with the reader. Nowhere in the story do you have to say, "Yea, right. Dude, that wuld happen." Excellent stuff form a new author.

This was simply the most action packed book I've ever read. And yet with enough factual detail that you feel like you're right there along side Trevor Brice. With all the recent terrorist activity, this story seems like it either has or will happen.
Trevor has fast become my new hero; I can't wait for the next book.
Mr.Larry Willis has already surpassed Tom Clancy.

This novel is packed with action from page one and literally I could not put it down. No sense in describing the content of the novel, suffice it to say that I read it in two days. I didn't view this as just a novel but an example of how strong the American Spirit can become when things get tough. The proof of this was seen on September 11, 2001. I am a Canadian citizen and the novel made me feel the American spirit to the point that I would be honored to also become an American citizen and fight for USA and what it stands for.

This novel is impressive from beginning to end. Not only does the plot move swiftly enough to keep the reader enthralled, but the setting changes continually conjur up beautiful, vivid images in the mind of the reader. I especially liked the relation of the plot to our nation's present-day circumstances. I can't wait to read the next book!

I really liked this book! There was lots of action, starting on the first page and continuing to to the very last! There was also lots of detail about Hawaii. This is a great book for a volcano lover (or anyone else). I can't wait for the next book to come out.
