5.0 out of 5 stars A class unto itself August 24, 2011

Yet again Wallace has proved that he is the master of the irreverent action packed novel! His protagonists are just 2 regular Joes put into a scenario that defies explanation and rise to the occasion, all the while providing some genuine belly laughs. I defy any one not to crack up during the Rhino scene! With all that being said he also paces the story and keeps the dialog and action moving at a frantic pace. I literally read this book in one setting, it was that gripping. Is it War and Peace? No but for what it is it is definitely a standout in his genre ( I dare you to define it!) I look forward to more!

I enjoyed the book and had allot of laughs throughout. Where else are you gonna find inherent millionaire's in boat chase's rhino attacks and gun fights? Good stuff from beginning to end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, terrible cover February 25, 2012

Was not expecting a funny book when I first noticed the cover for Tortuga's Rising. In fact, I thought it was going to be some kind of script crime novel, but it does move and provides laughs in incredibly unusual circumstances. Good book, I recommend.

I was born in Canada; I grew up in Texas. In between I've had a thousand fascinations.

Little things. Trivial things. Almost anything can catch my imagination and spur on a thought-a random article on Wikipedia can cost me hours of a day as I link from page to page.

Mix this active imagination with poor time management skills and you get me. I have more ideas for stories than I have time to tell.

But, I'm trying; I write in the wee hours, the downtime hours, and the many hours when I should be sleeping. One day I hope to write in the daylight hours. Maybe then I'll be able to stay a step ahead of my imagination.

Until then I'll do my best to write books worth reading with jokes worth laughing at as fast as I can. The serious stuff is being taken care of by a world full of great writers. I don't want to shock you or change your mind. I don't even care if it makes you think. I just want you to squirt that drink out your nose.

Hope it's not carbonated.

That tends to sting.
