3.0 out of 5 stars Its Roots Are Showing, October 14, 2007

By	Sires (It's a Toss Up Right Now) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Never Say Die (Paperback)

This book was published circa 1992 as a Harlequin (Romance)Intrigue. The Intrigue line consisted of short romance novels that had a suspense subplot. The length and the emphasis of the novel was dictated by the publisher. So it's hard to blame Dr. Gerritsen for the short-comings of this novel.

Her characters are pretty good, the plot is weakish. Someone who reads her books for the suspense will probably not like this one. Those who read for the romance will probably be taken with this one.

Take your pick.

Oh, and the new Mira cover is rather bizarre. Intellectually, I know it's a flower. My impression though is that it is a picture of the stuffing coming out of something.

4.0 out of 5 stars More paranoia, February 1, 2007

By	Roger Long "longrush" (Port Clinton, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Never Say Die (Paperback)

As Willy and Guy get acquainted and try to find Willy's father, a long-lost pilot in Viet Nam, nefarious powers of every sort pursue them. In this sense, I am reminded of the Robert Ludlum novels, in which no one can be trusted. The story has suspense and is well constructed. It's just that I've read too many books with paranoia as the central theme.

The romance part is OK but not especially interesting. The plot is fine. The characters are quite good. It is only the theme that really bothered me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Never Say Die, September 24, 2007

By	Ronald L. Sheaffer "RP" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am an avid reader of Gerritsen, but the last two books have disappointed me.
