Global Terrorists Beware!, January 6, 2006
This review is from: No Shortage of Evil (Paperback)
FBI Special Agent Donald Corbitt's life is as bleak and empty as the apartment in which he barely lives. Confronted with a corporate scandal, a series of murders, and bomb threats, Corbitt is forced to examine terrorism in all of its forms, and also to reconstruct the thoughts and actions of killers in order to anticipate their moves. And, yet, despite all of this, our hero seems to have the blanket of hope pulled around his shoulders.
As he discovers new clues about the evil which surrounds him, Corbitt also manages to meet, and become interested in, his colleague Jocelyn Hafner. This sweet relationship provides a contrast to Corbitt's professional life, causing him to contemplate the recipe for the delicacy known as "Happiness Soup." This perfectly spiced dish is one that keeps our hero, and the reader, from falling into the dispair that would cloud the minds of most people.
Debut author David S Rosenberg tackles several difficult subjects in his post 9/11 world of terrorists and federal agents. This wild ride of suspense is tempered nicely by humorous and even romantic moments that are masterfully woven into the plot. Although he has an unmistakable talent for plot creation, it is Rosenberg's characterization that shines through the entire novel. This nail-biting adventure is full of people that the reader is sure can be touched, if only one could reach into the pages in order to do so. I found myself not only seeing these people in my mind, but hearing them as well. Getting lost in this book is a must, and I look forward to reading the sequel to "No Shortage of Evil".

THRILLING!, January 1, 2006
This review is from: No Shortage of Evil (Paperback)
Reading David Rosenberg's No Shortage of Evil is rather like going over Niagara Falls in a barrel-- once you've started the journey there is no turning back. All you can do is hold on tight and let the story take you where it will. And wa-hoo, what a ride! The characters in this novel came alive for me from page one, particularly the story's hero, FBI Special Agent Donald Corbbitt. The reader can only follow with rapt attention as Corbbitt unflinchingly stands up to corporate giants, outfoxes corrupt politicians, and thwarts the plans of terrorists. Indeed, Special Agent Corbbitt is as tough as nails...until it comes to Jocelyn Hafner, the beautiful Communications Specialist who captures his heart. Rosenberg's precision of words, realistic descriptions, and fast-paced writing style make No Shortage of Evil a thriller of the highest order, with just enough romance sprinkled in to make the ladies happy. I am looking forward to accompanying these characters into whatever thrilling adventures Mr. Rosenberg has in store next!

No Shortage Of Evil, August 11, 2005
This review is from: No Shortage of Evil (Paperback)
David S. Rosenberg's aptly named novel, No Shortage of Evil, is a fast paced geo-political thriller that will keep you awake at night. Join FBI Special Agent Donald Corbbitt, to connect the threads of evil together, that include terrorists threatening millions with dirty radioactive bombs, and through bribery and deceit force a major corporation into bankruptcy, threatening the fabric of America.
Mr. Rosenberg is a master story teller, but more then that, he develops his characters both physically and psychologically in such a way that puts the reader in their body and mind. Add his grasp of technology, politics, business, and human nature, and you have the essence of "No Shortage Of Evil", a soon to be bestseller.
David S. Rosenberg is a master of his craft.
