review 1: I found this book highly enjoyable. Considering the subject matter, I was concerned that I would be disturbed by the mental images I might conjur up. Thankfully, the author spares the readers any details of the terrible crimes against children that are discussed. I finished this book in two days and I enjoyed every minute that I spent with it. The main story is great, as are the numerous looks into the author's previous cases as an agent. 5 stars.
review 2: Imagine life as an undercover agent for the F.B.I. Is it a lot like what we see on Television and the movies, or is it the mundane life to which we are just oblivious? Bob Hammer, a 26 year veteran of deep cover work sheds some light on that life in his new book, The Last Undercover which is a page turning ... morereal-life thriller.Bob Hammer has written a fast paced insider’s look to undercover investigations. He focuses on his experiences working with some of the most vile elements of our society. His cases range from theft rings to full-fledge organized crime. The early scenes with Dave, the marathon running thief that simply out ran the victims and police added for early humor that would give way to the darkest case of Hammer’s career, NAMBLA.NAMBLA is the acronym for the North American Man Boy Love Association, a group that pushes for acceptance and legality for pederasts and pedophiles. Bob Hammer’s final case is the infiltration and investigation of this vile cadre of perverts. The subject matter is serious, as is the look into the damage that this group does to young children. The scenes of the NAMBLA members going to Toys R US to ogle young boys should creep everyone out. As the innocent children are shopping, predators gather to share their fantasies of violating the youths.It is clear through the book why this was Hammer’s last case. The emotional toll is evident in the book and after so long working with the miscreants of society, one should retire. The damage done to our society by thugs and perverts is under reported, but Hammer does a great job of exposing the ongoing threat. Reminding us to be ever vigilant where our children are concerned.The juggling of his three worlds (Family, bureau, and under cover) is especially captivating, rivaling most of what we read and see in fiction for flare. Hammer’s tale is well written and captivating, make you read on to the next page, when in some cases you really do not want to read more. Do not be surprised if this makes it to the movies, it is perfect fodder for a motion picture. What ever the future may hold, Mr. Hammer deserves our thanks. Thanks for doing this dirty work and thanks for informing us of the dangers lurking around us. less
