Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-19 00:00:00 Stan Burt Action suspense novel set in Bolivia dealing with an army office and a group of green berets who are building dispensary in a small jungle village, an Ambassador who has visions of greater things the his current posting who has decreed the the soldiers doing the building should be unarmed, a German ex pat who is risen to be a kingpin in the country and is secretly in the drug trade, his daughter who is a selfless Dr. working with the poor villagers and estranged from her father, Colombian and Brazilian drug cartels and assorted good and bad guys thrown together in a novel of intrigue, murder and greed. A 'Heavy' book and slower reading painting a mostly unflattering picture of the country and some of our diplomats and other officials from both sides.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-10-26 00:00:00 Cynthia Thawley No doubt Peters puts more thought into his stories than others who write in this genre. Unfortunately at times he also puts in far more words than necessary to get illustrate his point. At various stages throughout the story I found myself "speed reading" just to get through multiple pages that could have been summarized in a few paragraphs. That said, I'll likely give his work another try in the future.
