Though some of the ideas are a little far out (even though the author makes a good scientific case for them), the believable characters and their interaction is the strong backbone of this novel. And while we've seen attacks on the White House before, I've never read one this chilling. A very good introductory effort in what I hope will be a series.

Where was the substance? I didn't grow attached to the characters, and the technology they used wasn't presented in a credible way; this was a major problem considering the nature of military techno thrillers. The author had some interesting ideas, but the novel written around them felt too forced.

I am a 12 years old reader who before this book has never read anything more than 180 pages but I semmed not to be able to put this book down. I highly recomend this book although it slows down a bit during the middle. Anyway it is about a senator gets poisoned and the only person who was investigating the case is thought to commits suicide then a group of millitary elite decides to investigate. I highly recomend this book.

And he comes up with a wild ride of a tale with paranoia, science-fiction elements (but believable ones) and a terrific cast of characters. We've seen attack-on-the-White House scenarios before but never like this. I loved how the villains pulled the plot off.

First there were stories of the F117. Then James Cobb wrote of a stealth cruiser. Now Rovin writes about soldiers wearing special suits that make them virtually invisible. Good concept for a techo thriller. I thought the author got a little carried away with the attack on the White House and President. The "bad guys", once again, are concerned that the current administration is leaning toward peace and not prepared for war. Reader is left with the feeling that there will be more books to follow. A good read for an airplane, as you don't have to concentrate on the book.

I really enjoyed this book, i have not oe tihng against itexcept it was too short, but i feel that way abotu all books, hell, iread R6 all the way throug and i was still elft i nthe open! but if you want a shorter book, not so explicit and a little less profanity than Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 (which is an outstandingly delicious book) than get this!

I mean this is totally realistic, yeah, ppl becoming invisible is kinda off the wall, be hell, this is the United States, we've got to have lots of Tech that the bland one sided tax payer doesn't know!

and i really enjoyed the conspiracy, some of the concepts ofg the Huntsmen i couldn't understnad liek killinfg JFKm, cause i liek JFK, but really, this was a great book...

If you're really interested in Counter-Terrorism like books with new age tech and a twist of Conspiracy, this has got ot be the book! END

Hot didy'de dog!!! Smok'n!!! Holy molly!! Peoples, peoples, PEOPLES!!! You have got to read this book. I can't bare to put this book down. Jeff, you are the best writter I've ever seen. This book has everything, from Beretas, Automatic Machine guns, knives to SFU's (Stealth Field Uniforms). I love new technology, so this is why I love this book. It has Conspiracy's, Assassinations, Poisoning, Killing, you name it, this book has it!!! Now if you like action then this is the book for you. Please people, you have got to read this book. If anyone diss's this book, they are going to DIE!!! But it ain't going to be quick, like what happen to Senator Hoxworth. It's going to be slow and painful. So if I were you, I wouldn't diss this book. GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff has a gift of writing with an easy to read style. He excels at revealing new technology and war games people can play. Unfortunately this book is unbelievable. In spite of a great style and interesting new information, the plot is too weak to entice reading more than 80 pages.

Jeff needs to do more research before he writes another book along these lines. The reading experience is like a teacher writing a book about truckers and describing the values and thought processes of truckers without either climbing into a big rig, going along for a long haul or interviewing truckers to find out what they really think and believe. Jeff assumes his thoughts and values would be applied by the villains as he would if he were the villain.

You don't have to teach to write a story about teachers. You don't have to drive a big rig to write a convincing story about truckers. BUT you do need to understand their way of thinking.

In this book the villain's motivations and thoughts match reality in just the same way the dinners of professional dancers and professional football players are exactly the same.

Jeff-- next time please give us a credible villain. Because of your easy to read style and new technology discriptions, willing to give one other of your books a try. But only one. Another one like this one is sure to suffer the same fate-- I will gag down a ton of bitter vegetables before I would read the final 280 pages of this book.
