Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 29, 2014
My first exposure to this author was a novella that is farther in the Justin Hall Series. That got me started on reading the series at the beginning. Here are the 2 reviews of the stories I have read so far. I gave this a 4 star as that is the lowest rating of the stories I have read so far.Review of:The DiplomatSummary: Only part of the story?I received a Kindle version of this book for free on LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.This story was well written and captivating. However, when I was done, it felt like something was missing. It seemed like there should be more to the story, as if it was part of a bigger story and plot that was unknown. This is the only book by this author I have read so far. So, it is possible that reading all the other stories about this character would make this story more satisfying to me. Otherwise, the characters and plot were interesting. I appreciated the lack of “fluff” that is often contained in other spy stories. Other than the mentioned frustration, I think this is an excellent spy story, so I will still give it 4 stars as a standalone book. I am interested in reading the other books about the character to see if it gives me the bigger picture that seemed missing from just reading this short book.Review of: Arctic WargameSummary: Great story for those who like spy/action/adventure stories!I received a Kindle version of this book for free after reviewing another book by this author.The first book I read by this author was “The Diplomat”. It was a great story, but I felt something was missing, like it was part of a bigger story that was unknown. So, I decided to read the first book in the series next and I’m glad I did. There was great character introduction and development, lots of action, unexpected and expected twists and turns, and plenty of material to build on for the future.This is a great book for people who like spy/action/adventure stories. I look forward to reading the rest of the series!5 stars
