review 1: I think this one was a bit slower than the other books. The whole American vs American thing sort of lowered the stakes for me, personally. All around it just didn't jive with me as well as the previous books, which is sort of why it took me a few months to finally finish it. ...

review 1: It's hard to title a book The Deceived without making a clear implication about the plot. That said, buckle in for a fast paced thriller that takes you from one side of the planet to the other. And while you know that deception is involved, don't expect to see the book's climax...

review 1: The Silenced is filled with suspense. This book was very confusing to me in the beginning because it kept jumping between characters but when you read through a quarter of the book the whole book ties together. This book is a great book to read but I think they should make it les...

review 1: The initial premise is more interesting than most books of this genre I have read, offering some hope of a human story to run alongside the narrative. Unfortunately this gets forgotten as the action kicks in. The "bad guys" are too two dimensional, the dubious morality of the "...

review 1: Brett Battles "Quinn, the Cleaner" series is probably the best of those "morale assassin characters novels". There are some more around (Like Mark Greany's Grey Man or Jeff Lindsay's Dexter or Tom Wood's Victor, the assassin), but Quinn and his team really stand out. I had to thi...

review 1: Without a doubt, Brett has talent. This is clearly the first book of a series, and yet it stands alone at the same time it prepares you for the next in the series. It is a great start to the career of a young man who thought he would do one thing with his life and jumps a unive...

review 1: This book was an unexpectedly good read! It was kind of a sleeper in that I bought it on sale, I thought from Amazon, but apparently not as they do not show it available for Kindle. So I am not sure where I actually got this book. Anyway, I really expected I would get exactly ...

review 1: The second in the Project Eden series. Enjoy the plot and background of the series. Most of the characters lack depth....as the reader you only get to know a couple of them at all, so keeping track of so many names isn't possible, nor do they contribute anything to the storylin...

review 1: Battles is very gifted at constructing clever and compelling plot lines. But they have to be supported by believable characters, and hopefully expressed in prose that at the very least does not get in the way of the read. I loved the first books in the Quinn series -- The Cleaner...

review 1: Not my favorite Quinn novel from the pen of Battles. He seems to be splitting the plots between Quinn ---semi retired --- and Nate who is continuing to work using Quinn's name and reputation. In this story that is to Nate's detriment, as he is set up and taken prisoner by someo...

review 1: This is the first in the series I've read and it moves along in a lively fashion. Since I'm way behind the curve with the Quinn books, this is a prequel, all I can say is that I enjoyed reading the story and may try another, although Quinn presented me with no special incentive t...

review 1: This is the 3rd book of the Project Eden series. I enjoyed this one but definitely not as much as the first and second book of this series. The 4th book is not scheduled to come out until Fall of 2012 so I would wait till this one comes out since book #3 really has no ending. The...

review 1: マットが命を落として、リーダーシップは誰が取るのか心配やったけど、キャプテンやパックスはやっぱりバックアップでレイチェルがリーダーになってよかった。物語としてはいろいろつっこみたいところもあるけど、まあやっぱりぐいぐい読ませる人だ。巧い。早く次が読みたい！The death of Matt made me worry about their leadership, but it was proved unfounded. Rachel is the one and Ash and Pax are her backups, I think that per...
