Reviews

[Ali Molenaar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Callison is an author I didn't know, his writing style is closely resembling that of Alistair McLean, an author I loved. Peter Ross, the I in the book, could be one of McLean's leads.
I liked it, never read something about the salvage business. It was exciting and had an ending that I didn't expect.
