1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth your time., June 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart of War (Paperback)

This book was a real dissappointment. It really had no character development and the ending was predictable. I rate it with one star only because there is nothing lower available.

I love this book! It took four days to read this book. I could not put it down and when I did my mind would wander back to the book and so therefore I never got any of my other work done, until I read some more of the book. It's worth it! It also keeps you guessing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truscott wins the war, November 14, 1997

This review is from: Heart of War (Hardcover)

"Heart of War" is a suspenseful, rapidly moving story of contemporary life in the U.S. army. It's a post-cold-war tale of a military that is struggling to adjust to new realities. There is no communist menace to fight any longer, so the fights within the armed services revolve around politics and gender and sexual identity. The plot centers on army major Kara Guidry, who battles the prejudice against women that still exists in the army, while she investigates an on-base murder. It's a murder mystery-thriller-romance that succeeds remarkably well on all three levels. And Truscott should be given credit for developing a gay character (Randy Taylor) who is a real flesh and blood human being, instead of the unrealistic negative stereotype that so many authors seem to rely on. Truscott has created a well written, intelligent thriller. Like all well written thrillers, it will grab your attention and hold it. But this one will also make you think.
