review 1: An interesting read. This is not all about a macho super hero who can defeat all comers and who kills without blinking. The hero has issues; he vomits at the thought of a mission in one scene. Yes he is still a hero, but a flawed one and therefore a more interesting one. I compare this is to book no.4 (Ghost Watch) and they are very different. This is very much an investigation into seemingly unconnected incidents and is more thriller I guess, with the only action only right at the end. There aren't even any 'red shirts' for Cooper to vanquish along the way. Whereas Ghost Watch is very much action all the way.
review 2: I really liked the first Vin Cooper book. OK this is number 2. I could not go 4 stars on this one. I really like the author's writing sty... morele and all of the characters he creates and the mischief and excitement he puts them through. OK this is number 2. What happened here? The book starts good and than tends to bog down before getting started again. Almost half of the book, the middle portion again, tends to hang out on its own, seemingly unrelated to the first half, before being tied into the finale of the book. I still look forward to the next Vin Cooper book and I hope this was just one of those occasional blips that some authors tend to pull. Please don't take this review as all negative criticism. The book is good, just somewhat of a let down from the exitement inherent in the first of the series. less
