Reviews

[Tom · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outstanding thriller, check it out (if you can find it!). Surprised to see the low ratings on Goodreads...

[Dark Star · Rating 4 out of 5]

This page turning story is filled with secret documents, multiple murders, government secrets, and even the jungles of Vietnam. A great read with lots of twists and turns and a killer ending.
