review 1: Although I had flashes where things seemed stretched to be ultimately unbelievable, this was still a very fast and hitting thriller. The scene where Jake says his final farewells is touching, even if you expect him to pull a rabbit out of his hat and not get himself blown up, shot, beaten to death or die of a heart attack.Even the guide dog came in handy, which I thought, at the opener, was just another heartstring to be played. It is, of course - kids in the mix and all that - but the dog was important to the plot, too.One thing that often bothers me is a character that changes his mind halfway through. Here, it worked well; the seeds were planted very early on and all the bases covered so neatly that, when it happened I was impressed in spite of myself.There are limit... mores. I don't think Jake could work in more than another book, or two at the most, not unless the forty year thing holds true and we go to kids. Bard's clearly got an agenda and I can only hope that things won't run away into a series for the sake of it. I'm guessing book three will be a scorcher!
review 2: More nonstop Brainrush thrillsI loved "Brainrush #1" and I'm usually not that taken with series books. I tend to prefer stand-alone novels. But this series is exciting, faster than a speeding bullet, over-the-top thrills. And besides that, the characters are ones you can visualize and empathize with."Brainrush #2" is just as good as #1 is and that's saying something. Bad guy Battista makes it back and he is one nasty piece of work. The characters move around again - California, Mexico, Nevada, Venezuela - and all the while protagonist Bronson uses his paranormal talents acquired in book #1 to protect himself and his friends and loved ones.I'm claustrophobic and Bard keeps taking us to confined spaces. This time it's another cave system and what a ride! Techno toys, Area 52, very dastardly chemical warfare, jihadists - hold on for the ride.I am lucky enough to be getting an Advanced Reading Copy of "Brainrush #3: Beyond Judgement" so I'll be checking my mailbox extra close this week. It is due out to the general public in July 2013 so mark it on your daytimer to order or pre-order your copy. This series is THAT good. less
