Typical Bagley.,
By
This review is from: The Vivero Letter (Paperback)
Desmond Bagley is one of my favorite authors; this is a pretty typical example of his writing. He takes a normal, unexceptional "gray little man", places him in an exceptional situation, and watches him flower into an action hero. This may sound implausible, but Bagley manages it with flair. His characterizations, dialogue, and detail almost always ring true (if a bit dated these days) and his research into locale and science at least seem exhaustive to a non-specialist; I couldn't vouch for whether they really are or not, not being any more knowledgeable about exotic locales or scientific detail than the average layman.Bagley is always good for a quick action-adventure read, and this book is no exception, in fact it's above the mid-level for his work, if not at the very top. |
