Review: Trish Robinson could be John McClane's Daughter!
Rating: 4 out of 5

Mortal Pursuit is one of the few books out there that lives up to the hype.  I cannot see anyone giving this book anything less than 4 stars!  It is a well written action & suspense thriller.  Shades of John McClane!  This book is similiar in nature to theDie Hardmovies in respect to the hero (or in this case heroine) is in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Trish Robinson is a rookie patrolwomen out on a routine patrol when all heck breaks loose and suddenly she is alone against a team of killers.I was surprised I liked this story so much, when the leading character was not a rugged action character (like Bruce, Sly, or Arnold), but instead, a small young female.  But Trish is one tough cookie, yes indeed.  This would make a great movie, and I figure they could even adapt it to fit into the "Die Hard" franchise by getting Mary Elizabeth Winstead to reprise her role as John McClane's daughter (fromLive Free or Die Hard [Blu-ray]), and base the movie on her, instead of her famous father.  The book features some really "bad" bad guys (and one girl).  Every time they think they have killed Trish or have her trapped she survives and keeps coming back.  Determination must be her middle name.  This was my first book by Michael Prescott, but it will not be the last.  I think I will getStealing Facesnext, as that book looks up my alley as well.
