Customer Reviews

Joe Lacy, Author, Mountain Reign: Rick Robinson comes out charging in his sophomore release

With his sophomoric release, Robinson unfolds a made-for-movie tale of clashing characters and plot twists while revealing the "inside" story on the inner workings of Washington. Simply put, Rick Robinson is manifestly destined to rise to the podium of best political thriller writers in America. Joe Lacy

Great Political Thriller!

Rick Robinson has produced a great political thriller. If you like reading about politics and intrigue then this book is for you. The author is obviously very knowledgeable about D.C politics and baseball. Combine these two together and you have a great book by Robinson.

Sniper Bid

Sniper Bid was a great read! The Author Rick Robinson weaves a fictional story into real life events which are historically accurate. It really describes a number of complicated issues, in a really comprehensible fashion. I really gained tremendous insight as to how our Congress operates, the pressures, concerns, and interactions of our elected legislators, with their staff, the citizens, and the time honored institutions that allow our government to operate. As a baseball fan, he also shows some of the interworking of professional baseball, and how all things are decided based upon a lot of variables that we as citizens often fail to consider. The book is an easy read, and flows very well. The author does a tremendous job in holding the readers interest while providing the reader with a real understanding of some very complicated issues. I was very impressed with the book and am now going out to get the first book by Rick Robinson, "The Maximum Contribution" and look forward to the Third book coming out! As a real Cincinnati Reds Fan I enjoyed the references to Reds teams and players of the past, in particular one of my favorite Reds pitchers growing up, Jim Maloney! Thanks Rick for a great book!

Great read....

Robinson's second political thriller is a fantastic read!! Robinson obviously knows the inner workings of Washington and knows how to spin a great tale that keeps your interest throughout. I'm looking forward to his next work.

Rick Robinson Rocks!

I have read both of Rick Robinson's books. Maximum Contribution was a great book for sure, and I was even more impressed with Sniper Bid. Mr. Robinson is developing some interesting characters and his inside knowledge of Washington DC and the political arena helps a novice like me understand that other side of the political scene - what we don't see or hear in the media. As a fan of David Baldacci's and James Patterson's books, Rick Robinson's novels are every bit as engaging. The old cliche "I couldn't put it down" rings very true here. These books are a great read - and unlike some of the politicians you'll read about in Mr. Robinson's books, you can trust me on that!
