Techno-Villain Does His Best

Wow! The villain in this story is superb. You start out respecting him the way you respect any lethal creature, and as it goes on you get frightened by this zealot on a crusade. Sort of the way you get spooked by that bug you just crushed that keeps on coming, except this one will kill you if your not watchful. Plus the technology stays fairly common place Butler Jack just leverages it for his evil purposes. Great read...

FAST-PACED, CHARACTER RICH THRILLER

This is the first book I have read by Jim Hall and I was so entertained that I plan to pick up as many of his earlier works as I can. The villian in the book has laid out a terrific master plan. Thorn and Sugarman who track and try to thwart Butler Jack work terrifically in tandem. The action plays out in a fast-paced manner and keps the reader interested until the very end. Butler Jack's use of the history of words was a terrific addition to the story. Jim Hall is one masterful wordsmith. I rate this book a 5 and highly recommend it to thriller fans.

Who is bobby dorfman?

There is a sinister note left untouched in this thriller from James Hall. Who is the hapless Bobby Dorfman, left hanging in front of the TV camera on the cruise ship? There is more to this character than the caual reader can surmise from his early demise (Bobby's). Will a new novel tell us why he met such an unfortunate end? I can hardly wait. (By the way; who was Joseph McCabe, one of the unheralded victims of that awful lady in Mean High Tide?
