Customer Reviews

No risk in reading this!

Believe you me when I say that getting a book like this is no risk at all! I'd waited and waited to read something by Bayer, but for some reason I wanted to start with his first, and if I liked it, then I'd check out more. I will certainly be checking out more of his stuff! Bayer packs an awesome plot into something huge that any action buff can appreciate. Take for example a little red car that is going about 110 and still in 2nd gear, just getting warmed up! That would be how I would rank John F. Bayer. He's just getting warmed up, folks! This book centers around Navy Commander and Chaplain David Michaels who is looking into his brother's death. His brother worked at a plant in Arkansas. The more David looks into it, the more it looks like murder rather than the accident his brother's employers are making it out to be. This book asks the question, and will certainly be asking the reader, 'what do I really believe... and why?' I hope that there are people who come across John F. Bayer's name on websites like Christianbook.com like I did. Something about this book caught my attention like so many unknown authors do, and I took a shot at reading his first novel. Awesome! So, in closing, I will say that I praise God for finding me another example of something that amazed me.

A great thriller/suspense.

I could not put this book down. There was action and suspense on every page. This author definitely knows how to capture the reader's attention and hold it. Bayer is Clancey and Grisham rolled into one. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves thriller/suspense novels without the "trash" and foul language.

Thrilling!! A page turner!!! A must read for Cussler fans!

Protagonist David Michaels is every man's "want to be" and every woman's "dream". Each page is action packed and the suspense keeps the pages turning. There is just enough romance to keep you wanting more. The plot keeps moving and has a surprise Stephen King type character. A must read for thriller and Cussler fans!
