Customer Reviews
First Strike
A very enjoyable read.
First Strike
Riveting had trouble putting it down.
Not bad
This book was enjoyable despite its need for some scene re-writes. A few times characters did things that felt uncharacteristic given the situation and profession.
It also started a bit slowly and not as smoothly written as later parts. Still, I did enjoy reading it.
