1.0 out of 5 stars This should be a comic book, July 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Land of Fire (Paperback)

Trooper Mark Black!?! He sounds like a comic book hero...and it's just that writing style which I find Ryan uses in his books.

The character is undercover, he's under the watchful eye of his older brother [Andy Black..the names get worse] and there's even a female spy thrown in for good measure. They get compromised and they must fight their way out to the Chilean border. The latter is perhaps the only contribution that Ryan has actual experience of. Then, twenty years later, those naughty Argies are at it again and this time a more experienced Black returns and guess what?...he bumps into that spy again etc. etc. etc.

A poor plot, lifeless characters and an immature writing style. All this book needs is some comic artwork throughout and it will be a book the whole family can enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit dissapointing, April 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Land of Fire (Windsor Selection) (Hardcover)

This book was a bit dissapointing for me, but it's another good story, it certainly ain't great, but i read it with great excitement sometimes.
Ryan knows how to interest people, and even though this is not one of his best, i think it's worth a read.
4 stars are justified.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so good, April 11, 2004

By 

A McNab fan from Holland - See all my reviews

This review is from: Land of Fire (Paperback)

This book was dissappointing, i was expecting better of Ryan.
The story is not so good, the names (Mark and Andy Black)
and it wasn't the usual class of Ryan that i'm use too.
it isn't that bad,there are some nice parts in the story, but overall i'm dissapointed.
I think 3 stars are justified.
