5.0 out of 5 stars Action ! Action ! Action !, March 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: One Man's Law (Paperback)
Clarkson has a talent for writing 'action' novels. Sure the story may be overdone a bit in some places but who cares ? You read for excitement, for a rush. I couldn' put this one down either, just like his other two books. You'll enjoy this one,it's a lot of fun. michael

4.0 out of 5 stars Still good, but worse than AND JUSTICE FOR ONE, August 19, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: One Man's Law (Paperback)
Fighting against the whole regiment on one of the Hawaiian islands with automatic weapons for mass destruction became so bored and a highly unlikely scenario. Mr. Clarkson should go back to his first Devlin book, letting the hero use his body and mind to do the fights

1.0 out of 5 stars Over-testeronized., June 14, 2008
This review is from: One Man's Law (Paperback)
First things first. I am a fan of good action stories. David Morrell - great. Robert Parker - Very good. This book. Ugh.

It's as though John Clarkson sat down after watching an A-Team marathon and decided what he needed to write this book was a little more cartoonish violence, a lot more sex, long descriptions of S&M sessions and a James Bond girl.

It was too much for me. I can't tell you how many cars exploded from being shot in the gas tanks. The lead female character is aloof and built like a fashion model. Don't worry - Devlin will get in her pants over and over again! The bad guys have hundreds of guns an umlimited supply of money and some are even trained killers. Don't worry - Devlin and his Samoan sterotype sidekick will just run fast, kick and punch harder and shoot accurately on the run while hundreds of bullets zing harmlessly by (if Devlin does get hit, it will only be a flesh wound and he'll heal quickly thanks to a quick rubdown and some more sex).

The ending wraps itself up too quickly and too neatly - we found out about another conspirator after he's been taken out. The dialogue is stiff. The big final confrontation scene is haoky. Can I go on? Sure, but I won't.

If you have nothing else to read except for this book, watch TV.
