This is one of the best action books I've read in a while. Devlin is the best. Talk about a creepy killer. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK HIGHLY TO ANY ACTION FAN. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN.

Retibution, was a great book, if you like action movies, you'll like this book. Its a great book, with action, sex, violence and a mystery worth solving.

This was a wonderful book, combining the drama of a dedicated terrorist out to kill the CEO of a major corporation, with the efforts of an ex-NYC cop who has taken the job as Director of Security for the corporation. The drama rises as the bad guy tries to blow up the CEO at the annual shareholders meeting while the Director of Security races to get high-tech security measures installed in the company HQ. I recommend it highly - and am looking for his other books.

The author appears to have written a few grisly murders and then quickly penned a plot in which to use them. How the victims could have been so easily set up for these particular methods of demise is a stretch of an already thin reality. Everything in the novel is too convoluted and too difficult to be even close to believeable. The principal murder is developed so that the villain is frustrated at every turn. Characters are an unreal spectrum of extremes: too successful, too beautiful, too talented..... The good guys are the average humans. The hero is a character we are too familiar with from other authors, a talented, hard working ex cop with instincts that save the day. The final confrontation is too choreographed and unbelieveable, suddenly the villain has fatal flaws, and all loose ends are neatly tied up in a happy ending
