Customer Reviews

Quirky and fun

The hero of this book, Glen Wilson, is a character one would love to meet in real life. Maybe. There is nothing predictable about the plot, the choices that Wilson makes, or wild happenings that befall him as he moves through an almost Kerouac type of existence (but a bit more interesting). I could not put the book down. I mean literally, and kept reading it through. The good news is that there is more Wilson in my reading future.

Steel Waters- Perfect writing , not a conventional style

Mr. Coffman's writing is impeccable. He commands and dominates his craft at all times to the point of perfection. Every I is dotted and every t crossed the way only a passionate and possessive writer does . However, with the author over dominating his novel , as a reader I often felt as an intruder , peeking into a realm I was not supposed to be in . I became intrigued by the main character although I could not relate or sympathize with his take on life. He puzzled and entertained me .Sometimes irritated me. In the end , I could not put the book down . It's definitely a good read , way above and beyond the pedestrian variety.

A fun ride

Mr. Coffman has created a great character in Glen Wilson. The colorful and unique way Glen sees and describes the world (and its inhabitants) is original, genius and comic all at the same time. He is the book, and carries it well. His unique, and often brilliant, problem-solving skills make for a fun ride. Glen's no angel, mind you, but beneath his penchant for booze and loose women, he has a nobleness that can't be denied.

Finally, another hero I can follow !!

Reading this book is great fun. Sort of Clive Cussler, sort of Patrick McManus, but a style that is Ken Coffman's alone. The irreverent style of the main character and the rather raw presentation of his travels and travails is addicting. You wonder what's going to be his odd situation with each turn of the page, and so you just keep reading and getting rewarded. Once I pick it up, I hate putting it down.

Refreshing adventure story

Glen Wilson is a new, refreshing adventure character who ads a little 'damn the man' bravado to his character line. Touches on some of the things that are happening on the inside of the capitol beltway. Very enjoyable and entertaining...couldn't put the book down.
