A Thrilling Thriller

Jack Valentine is a self-doubting, semi-super hero of sorts in the Jim Rockford (Rockford Files) genre. Middle-aged Valetine is a likeable and unwilling secret agent--a cross between Sam Spade's earthiness and James Bond suave. He is also very intuitive (a good quality for his profession)and unlike Mr. Bond who spends his enroaching middle-aged years shaking martinis and womanizing while he dodges bullets, Jack Valentine is preoccupied with his boat and art collection while he sails the wild Irish north sea and takes out the bad guys. The Sirius Crossing is full of exciting, unexpected twists and logical, if somewhat bizarre conclusions. Most importantly, it is a really good story. I will read it again. And again.
