Well Hard!,
By Julian Boyce (Singapore, - Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tenth Man Down (Audio Cassette)
Simple. Exciting. Straightforward. And just bloody well gets on with it. Someone described it as 'hard as nails' and they're absolutely right. I've read two of Chris Ryan's books (also Kremlin Device), and he is easily the most pithy bone crunching action writer around. In fact, he reminds me of a young Wilbur Smith. Add to that his real understanding of SAS type covert operations, mercenaries, power-crazy cannibals and every other type of pleasant evil-boosted character you can think of - and you'll quickly demand "Geordie' to soon start thinning them out at her Majesty's service. Ryan's writing is so stark and minimal it's a bit like someone whispering an hair-raising tale straight into your ear. A real crackerjack. Ryan writes it straight. So don't expect happy every-lose-end-tied-up-endings! A totally recommended read for anyone fed up with that pansy tripe dished out from the other side of the pond! Keep at it Chris - no one does it better than you mate!

Really good,
This review is from: Tenth Man Down (Audio Cassette)
This book is truly as hard as nails, it is truly outstanding.the story is full of surprises and if you think you have it right someothing else happens, many plot turns. you never now how it will go further, you have no idea what's next. Mr. Ryan certainly knows how to keep the tension high, it's a real pageturner, i couldn't put it down and i read it in less dan two days! the story is very well writen and certainly worth a read, buy it if you like action! Well done mister Ryan.
