Loved the book!
After getting one of the books for free in the series and not being able to put it down till I finished it I purchased the series so I could read them all! I truly enjoyed it but I won't start reading anymore of them at 10pm again. I've also read a couple of his western's which I also enjoyed, but didn't make the connection until I was looking at all the books he had written until I went to his Amazon authors page to see about getting the rest of the repairman series and was looking through all his books. I also plan on getting more of his western's once I finish this series. Thank you Mr Martin for the hours of enjoyment you've given me with your writing. I just wish I could afford to buy all your books right now to read them all in order!

Second of the Mike Reardon action novels. As with The Repairman, The Bakken is a very quick, fast paced read. And, as with The Repairman, Reardon's target is drug dealers. Not quite as violent as The Repairman, however. Again, very reminiscent of the pulp action thrillers of years past.
On the negative side, this book suffers from a lack of proper editing. Misused words, words left out of sentences, and a general lack of punctuation make for doubling back to reread a sentence or paragraph to get what the author was trying to convey.

Lots of action
Lots of action
This is a good follow up story to "the Repairman" and it continues the character development of Mike Reardon. The story relies on lots of amazing electronic information from his Vegas computer genius as well as lots of tools used in war making. I would like to see the primary characters fleshed out a bit more but still a very good read.

Bakken
A good read if you're interested in a lot of action without a lot of wondering what the plot is. I appreciated the fast pace of this and intend reading more of Martin's works as a probable quick read with action. No problem giving a recommendation.

A rip roaring ride through the Bakken, North Americs newest mother lode.
This is as close to reality as you can get from a fictional book. Martin has it right and the reader wins. Thank you Mr L.J. Martin for a fantastic read.

Another Good One
If you liked the Repairman you'll like this one too.
Mike is definitely a good character and L.J. makes him come to life.
