Fast paced and very informative.......2006-08-11

This is Frank Stephenson's second book - if you read his first one, "An Unlikley Journey" I believe you will enjoy this one even more. Frank's writing is fast paced and holds one's attention. It is also laced with an incredible amount of information about the drug business and the involvement of our government. Very good reading - I look forward to his next book.

They say you can't judge a book by its cover. Maybe not, but I bought the book because I found its cover intreguing and sexy. In fact, I didn't even open the book for a month, just stared at the cover. My conscience got the better of me finally, and once I started to read, I found the story facinating. It has every aspect that I like in a novel: the hero fighting with himself, with his environment, and with other people. Oh, and gratuitous sex. Don't forget the sex. The story line is unique, unlike the novels that so many writer's crank out with the same plot as the previous novel but different names. This book is both revealing and refreshing, and most people will be satisfied owning it. If you don't like the story, you'll still have the cover. Don't forget the cover.

This is the second of Frank Stephenson's books I have read and, although he has declared that both books are based on factual information, this particular book I happen to know really is. (Note: the first book may also be based on fact, but I would have no way of knowing that.) I served for a period of time on a DEA task force in Colombia, and I have a scrapbook full of news articles, the events of which are woven into the story Stephenson has written. He's done so with great cleverness, too.

All in all, I found the book most entertaining, as I did the first book. The fact that I could identify with more of the action in this one perhaps made it more enjoyable for me. I look forward to another of his books, but I'm disappointed that bricks and mortar bookstores don't carry them.
