Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-30 00:00:00 William Kramer Okay enough. I'm not going to finish this. For the benefit of those who hate it when I rate books I didn't finish I won't even rate it. I was really ready to just remove it from my books altogether but for you who read my review of the first and saw this on my "currently reading shelf" I will note why I'm putting it aside. This one was written well after the first...recently enough so that the phrase "Global Warming" has been shown to be incorrect (or to use the word in the books stretched and strained intro, "inaccurate"). So they open admitting this...they don't go into how this sort of undoes the premise of the book, but no big deal that part is just "alternate history" now. But we do get an ongoing diatribe in the introduction switching to the phrase "climate change" with an explanation that it's still bad and we'll all starve. No sooner do we get through the intro than the same subject/argument is brought into the body of the book. Look, if that's why you want to read the books more power to you. I was looking for a "technothriller", not political propaganda. So...end of my interest. I have too many other books waiting to be read.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-14 00:00:00 Keith Mitchell This is a good techno-thriller, well written with a good plot. I always enjoy Larry Bond, though not quite as much as Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, Stephen Coonts, and Brad Thor. An engaging book and a fun read.
