5 stars not enough

I read LOTS of books and I believe this is one of the absolute best I have ever read. Well written, plausable storyline, incredible thrills, and unusual twists. Great characters, both good and bad.Went to the library and checked out every book he has written that was available.This review won't discuss the plot because you should read it without any prior information.I would offer one simple solution for you - buy it, rent it, get it. You will not be disappointed. A SLAM DUNK BOOK that should be at the top of any list of outstanding thrillers.

Mr. Deuterman does it again

This is the fourth novel I have read by Captain Deuterman and he just keeps getting better. This story has a very believable plot, interesting characters and crisp dialogue. I really like this author's style. The story always moves along and doesn't bog down with excessive technical details as do some authors of this genre. I eagerly await his next book.

Captain Deutermann is in the HUNT. Again.

I have had the pleasure of reading four P. T. Deutermann novels to date. Mr. Deutermann's story telling is like a fine wine, it seems to improve with age. I have totally enjoyed every Deutermann offering that I have read.I was first introduced to author Deutermann when I read Sweepers, then I read Scorpion in the Sea, and finally Zero Option. I write in the military genre myself, primarily Navy, and noticed that while Mr. Deutermann has gotten away from writing about his roots, the Navy, that he is still not opposed to attacking the establishment. Our federal government, bless their hearts, are such an easy target, don't you think? In Hunting Season, Deutermann returns to using a woman, Janet Carter, as one of his primary protagonists. Remember Karen from Sweepers? Janet, a rookie Fed, reminded me of Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs. And, like Sweepers, he has introduced to us to yet another sweeper. This time he writes about a good sweeper. How could there be such a thing as a good sweeper I ask? The psychological profile of the beast spells psychopath. Hunting Season is a thriller in every sense of the word; its plot is both quick in pace and quick in action. And with enough twists and turns to keep any thrill seeking reader happy. P. T. Deutermann has a winner again so go hunting for and find Hunting Season.

Another great read

I just finished reading Mr. Deutermann's new novel, and it was great. I still get claustrophobic thinking about the scene in the cave! The book was hard to put down, and really really interesting in the details of the main character's actions. I hope though, that we see these characters again, I feel like there is so much more I want to know about the main character, I wasn't ready to let him go. If you are already a fan, read this book, you won't be disappointed. If you are new to this super author, this is a good one to start with, you will become a fan.

A HIGH OCTANE DRAMA ABSORBINGLY READ

Sometimes angry, sometimes anguished, suspicious and stealthy, the voice of Dick Hill reveals all of these feelings as he renders this absorbing story of a father's search for his missing daughter. Three college students are hiking around an abandoned military complex when presto - they disappear. The FBI soon chalks it up to a youthful runaway. However, one father knows better, and he's not your typical parent-next-door. Edwin Kriess is a former member of a special CIA group that was trained to find and capture. He's determined to trace his daughter's abductors, and sets about doing so. The FBI doesn't look kindly upon his investigations - he may have too much information, and what will he discover? Thus, the tracker becomes the tracked when the FBI dispatches someone to ferret out the truth from Kniess. It's a trigger sharp, twisting yarn, and Dick Hill weaves it beautifully.
