5.0 out of 5 stars Delta Decision or Wild Justice - still a great read, March 16, 2004

By 

Robert Ross "iinsic" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Justice (Mass Market Paperback)

Readers should be aware that this book was published in the United States with the name "The Delta Decision" in 1979. "Wild Justice" was the name used for the British edition. As other readers have pointed out, it is not a new work by Wilbur Smith. I mention this only to prevent earlier readers of "The Delta Decision" from ordering a book they've read already.
That said, this is one of Smith's best works. It followed an equally good thriller - "Hungry As The Sea" - that captured many new Smith fans.
I have read every novel Wilbur Smith has published over the past 40 years and can say not one of them was anything less than captivating. Whether you are new to this great author or have read his works in the past, you will enjoy thoroughly "Wild Justice," while marvelling at his ability to envision, more than a quarter century ago, the world we find ourselves in today.

5.0 out of 5 stars ADVENTURE CLASSIC, March 3, 2000

By 

Andy Todes - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Justice (Paperback)

having devoured practically smith's entire output, and many of his finest works several times over, i can assure you this is one of his best. it's not literature, sports fans. but it's a sizzling read. blistering. and remarkably well written. as a 13-year old kid, i picked up "wild justice" quite by chance one day (at doncaster library, shoppingtown -- melbourne) thus beginning an incredible 5-year love affair, wherein i read nothing but smith's books over and over again. though my heart belongs to "the eye of the tiger" and the second half of "the sunbird" (not to mention the sagas), "wild justice" is my first love. don't hesitate to pick it up. thank you, mr.smith!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wild Read!, November 29, 2003

By 

Douglas De Bono - Author of No Safe Harbor (Minnetonka, mn United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Justice (Mass Market Paperback)

Wilbur Smith can just plain write. WILD JUSTICE starts out on a hijacked airliner and ends up in a desperate fight to stop a master terrorist known as Caliph.

General Peter Stride is the Commander of Thor: A multi-national anti-terrorist squad that has some similarities to Clancy's Rainbow Six. (But before you start picking at Smith, note that WILD JUSTICE was originally published in 1979 when Iran was an American ally and no one had heard of Tom Clancy).

Even though the book deals with countries and places that have changed, the story has a timeless appeal characteristic of Smith's work.

It is great to see books like this come back into print.
