Review: A good adrenaline burner
Rating: 4 out of 5

When I read a novel all night, finish at 5 AM and I am pumped with adrenaline, then I feel like I got my money's worth for an action novel. Even better is the combination of a warrior finding his human side, a true love, getting an extended family, revenge and kicking the bad guys in the teeth is a lot to wrap your mind around in one book, I enjoyed how this played out. For me revenge was not all action shoot'em up either. Some of it was the political payback kind which was as satisfying. My take is the hero was so surprised to find a true love, he spent a lot of the book exploring and enjoying that. Maybe the "I love you" was overdone in some people's mind but there is always room for more love in the world. This country is starved for it.If you are a political left winger or even a moderate, you may not enjoy this book. In fact you may not even understand the patriotism presented in this book. If you are ex military or conservative, you will probably feel right at home. The amount of conservative political expression in the book was IMO necessary to show the hero's feelings about this country. It is too bad more don't get this. But being a patriot is not politically correct these days.I did not notice a lot of grammar, spelling or punctuation errors in the book though other reviewers did point out some. There was one use of the phrase lying flat of the back which was overused. It would have been better expressed as lying flat on his back IMO. The lying flat of the back phrase jarred me out of the story flow a couple of times.I enjoyed the book enough to purchase the second in the series to follow the Turners and their adventures.
