4.0 out of 5 stars
Ing is in a class by himself,
By Scott McDonald (Hazelwood, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spooker (Mass Market Paperback)
Ing pretty much created this gendre himself. I call it "tech fiction" and it's not for the week of heart or those looking for an "eye candy" read. Once you aquire the taste though, he's very difficult to put down. "Spooker" presents some leading edge and extraordinary technological ideas. And as a spy thriller really goes the extra mile to keep it's ideas new and innovative. Based on the premise that every *real* spy has a "spooker" or a kit that contains his get away money and identity change that will allow him to escape/retire if need be, Ing begins to entertain some extremely original ideas about those kits, and the people that would know about them, and how they could be exploited. You haven't read anything like this before. I promise. If you value original story lines that haven't been beat to death by every other author and technological flights of fancy that really make you go "Hmmmmmmm....", then Ing is your man, and "Spooker" is the place to start. It's incredibly unfair and more than a little dishonest to slam a book like this, and then admit you didn't finish it. If you can't keep up with/appreciate Ing's edgy originality, then perhaps you should stick with Coonts.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Did not live up to the cover blurbs....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spooker (Hardcover)
The book left a bit to be desired.. perhaps I am a softie, but I was really hoping for a better ending. Maybe something along the lines of "Wild Country"'s. Hopefully tho, Ing brings the main character back for a sequel. Missed the Post Script that he usually puts in too, that "rising crane shot at the close with the fade to black and the rolling of credits" that lets you see where things end up. (of course, I always wanted him to bring Baal back as well, but that is an 'odds so slim, they're anorexic' hope)

a Rare Bird,
By
This review is from: Spooker (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a rare bird, a RE-readable Thriller.Rather than insights about technology and aviation, Mr Ing takes a new course.
