Customer Reviews

Action Packed

From the first page of the first chapter, this book starts moving with action and suspense and doesn't let up. I coudn't wait to get to the next page. If you like Jack Ryan or Jason Bourne, you will love this book. Derek Stillwater is a reluctant hero. He just wants to do his job, but his natural curiosty, the way his mind works and his need to make things right pull him further into intrigue even against his will. I loved this book and can't wait to read the next. I couldn't help thinking this book was a modern day Three Days Of The Condor.

A great ride!

I love a good techno-thriller, and I'm thrilled (pun intended) that there's a new writer who can match the talents of all my favorites. Terry obviously has in-depth knowledge of chemical-biological warfare, and he has us believing that the scenario in Pitchfork is real possibility. The hero, Derek Stillwater, is a step above other thriller heros because he has a human side, not the perfect world saving robot that other authors use. I highly recommend this book to any thriller fan. You may never open a can of Coke again!

Action, Mystery, Great characters

I loved this book! I was hooked from the start. There's a lot of action and also a lot of mystery. The thing that sets this book apart from others is that there is always a surprise waiting around the corner.
