Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-04 00:00:00 Christopher Lorraine Tremor is the second book in the John Taft series by Craig Dirgo, a collaborator with one of my favourite authors, Clive Cussler. It's fun about the similarities between Cussler and Dirgo's characters, Dirk Pitt and John Taft both have four letter names. Both have side kicks, though I think that Pitt's buddy, Al Giordino, is a better character than Lorenzo (Larry) Martinez. The basic premise was interesting - that Tesla's invention from the early 1900s has been resurrected by a madman to try and attack the US with a directed wave of electricity. However, while I generally enjoyed how the story moved, it just didn't grab hold of me and keep me enthralled like the early Cussler novels did. If I have one beef, it is that even in 2006, the ladykiller secret agent that scores with every woman he sets in his sights seems a bit too cliché. Hell, even James Bond had to work for it on occasion. It just seemed a bit dated. But as far as time well wasted, it was a nice diversion on my daily commute and on the weekend in between other books. I enjoyed it, but not as much as other books in this genre. Overall, it is worth the time spent reading.
