1.0 out of 5 stars
just a light diversion, December 6, 2010
This review is from: Imminent Engagement (Paperback)
I went through this book in a couple of hours. By the second half of the book I was basically skimming the pages to see if the plot had any interesting aspects to it. The characters are two-dimensional, maybe even one-dimensional, stereotypes. Often you read a review of a book that claims the text could be reduced by 30-40% and make a better read. This book would have been better if it had more text, especially character development. There was no sense of anticipation or wondering what would happen to the hero. The hero gets in a jam and, within two pages at most, everything is quickly resolved. Everything happened so fast it seemed like the author was in a hurry to get finished with it. This book could be used for a great TV series, as long as the series wasn't longer than one hour, as it had lots of action and nothing to engage the brain. A real disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent combination of vivid action set in pivotal history, November 15, 1999

Another gem from Bill Frash. Once again the action is thick as his characters are drawn into pivotal events in history. The scenes at sea are so descriptive you can almost smell the salt air.
