3.0 out of 5 stars The least of his efforts, April 21, 2001

This review is from: The Trojan Sea: A Novel (Hardcover)

I have read and enjoyed all of Richard Herman's novels. I enjoyed this one the least. Perhaps it is because he is in to writing novels which have sequels. It has gotten to the point that in this one, when he refers to a characters past deeds that he puts a footnotnote to tell you where to go to find out about the history in a prior book. Here the story is labored and contrived to weave a web of interest about oil discovery in Cuba and behind the scenes attempts to over throw the Cuban government. Clearly a new fighter pilot is on the way for further novels (Eric) and I will probably buy the next effort, hoping that the magic of prior years will return. This novel is not worth the price.

I've read all and enjoyed most of Herman's novels. Of all of them, this is my least favorite. C'mon Richard...we know you can do better. Give us characters we can care about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good plot, good characters add up to a great read!, February 19, 2002

This review is from: The Trojan Sea: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

Lt.Mike Stuart is a very real,and great character. He is faced with a tough boss, and a seemingly inexplicable puzzle which threatens first his career, and later his life. He triumphs by showing his true courage and strength of spirit. His love interest is a very real person, and is not the usual 'perfect woman'. Oil politics, Cuban politics, and Washington politics add up to a really good read.
