5.0 out of 5 stars Texas as it should be, January 4, 2009

This review is from: Texas On the Rocks (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the 2nd book of the series, between The Ayes of Texas and Texas Triumphant. All of them are a little heavy on the political side - very anti-communist/socialist, but they have strong characters and certainly kept my interest. If you were looking for something like Gravity's Rainbow or War and Peace, look elsewhere, but if you like the Heinlein juveniles, you will probably like all of them.

This review is from: Texas On the Rocks (Mass Market Paperback)

This is an excellent far vision book. It approaches a future problem and addresses it in a possible technological solution. Written in an interesting style.

This review is from: Texas On the Rocks (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was hideous. The only book that I have reviewed on Amazon that I hold in as great disdain is the "Ayes of Texas" also by Daniel da Cruz. As is true with the other novel this book is so full of clichés, stereotypes and impossible science to make even a callous reader become nauseas.

Basically Texas is an independent country and must fight those evil Russians who control the rest of the world for all practical purposes. Come stage center Ripley Forte, billionaire, playboy extraordinaire. What a cad. This book is terrible. Please, Please save your money.
