Book Description
"The big daddy of the conspiracy books on the JFK assassination, and one that can't be taken lightly. A sheer tour de force that may be the final word until 2039--when government files on the case can be unlocked."--Kirkus Reviews
Customer Reviews:
fascinating and wonderful publication.......2007-09-18
If you like details, you will like this book. The author, very eloquently and orderly states what one witness after another saw and heard in Dealey Plaza on that fateful day in Dallas. After reading this book it is beyond my imagination how anyone could believe the Warren Commission's report. The author is not being biased toward conspiracy, but merely presents facts, and what I really appreciated was what he said in the preface, warning us, the reader to trust or believe no one, not this author, not the researchers and most definitely not the government, who have already been proven to have made so many, many errors involved in this case. Mr. Marrs, admonishes us to read all the information and then to think for ourselves and come to our own individual judgement. Reading this in the preface, just compelled me to read this book and it was wonderfully put together and helped me to make my own judgement. Anyone interested in the assination of Presdient John F. Kennedy owns it to himself or herself to read this book.
A book that was worse than the movie........2007-08-06
I purchased this book as part of a graduate school course in history. Though centered on the JFK assassination, the course dealt with how historians are to use evidence to reach logical conclusions. Marrs' book is an example how not to infere evidence. Marrs often takes incredible leaps of fantasy to declare the presence of a conspiracy or manufactures out right lies to present his case. Marrs using various theories to attempt to disprove the Warren Commission findings that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. But Marrs knowingly presents half-truths and omits critical parts of witness testimony and forensic evidence. "Crossfire" is one of many books that trumpet the presence of a conspiracy of government officials and mobsters to kill President Kennedy; like the others, Marrs' work is no better than a supermarket tabloid. If you must read this book, you should also read Posner's "Case Closed", a reasonable counter to Marrs' wild allegations.
The Place To Start.......2007-07-26
Jim Marrs is responsible for two of the finest "conspiracy overview" books ever written - this tome, and his "Alien Agenda." His writing is first rate, and although the book is hefty and somewhat dense, it manages to remain readable throughout.
If Marrs has shown an unfortunate tendency, it is to take on the role of a "conspiracist's clearinghouse," and he sometimes tends to dump information from completely conflicting and seemingly irreconcilable areas of research, which can make some of his work seem scattershot or, worse, downright crazy in spots. This tendency emerges to a small extent in "Crossfire," more in "Alien Agenda," and becomes almost overpowering in "Rule By Secrecy" or "The Terror Conspiracy." That being said, Mr. Marrs seems to put more value on getting as much information as possible out there, without picking and choosing only those elements which tend to support the theories he personally endorses.
If you want a real starting point for understanding the events that climaxed in Dealey Plaza, this is the place to go.
at best..........2007-07-25
The blurb said "twenty five years after the event." That forty four years might be a...TAD more correct, right there should tell you something. And that Oswald wasn't (only maybe peripherely) involved is SO "last century." Be forwarned, Marrs has this fixation on those naughty aliens that've, uh, blowing up space capsules, 9-11, tsunami (what IS the "plural" for that word?), and...well, don't waste your time or money like I did. Heaven help his students if he really DOES "teach a class." Uh........"More Kool-aid, Reverend Jim?"
Tin Foil Hats on too Tight.......2006-12-25
You got to love Jim Marrs, with books like "Rule by Secrecy: The Hidden History That Connects the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, and the Great Pyramids" you know you are in the presence of true "Wackoism"
So it's no surprise that old Jim is also into Aliens, Chemtrails and other such Woo Woo AND the main man of the grassy knoll crowd.
If you believe the rot in this book then I know this guy in Nigeria who has millions of dollars he need to get to the US and he will split it with you if you only.................

Star Wars Boba Fett #1,2,3,4,5, and 6.......2007-01-19
By John
If you have seen Star Wars movies you are going to like this
Series. Boba Fett is a funny trickster who is the son of Jango Fett who is the richest and most feared Bounty Hunter who ever lived.
Follow Boba and his adventure to many planets where he learns how to be a Bounty Hunter.
I especially like this series because of the things he does to become a Bounty Hunter. Boba is very sarcastic he does not know what to do and he makes funny mistakes.
Boba seeks help from his father's friends while being chased by his worst enemies. One time Boba attacked a General named Grievous and he gets thrown into a garbage chute!
If you like Fictional or Adventure books this is the right series for you.
This is one of the greatest Boba Fett books. .......2006-05-23
One thing that totally flawed this book: that it hardly had fighting combat. Anyway, what do you expect? Boba Fett is not a Jedi and is a wanna-be Bounty Hunter (10 yrs of age). This book describes Boba's adventures after the death of his father, and, after Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, especially how he is surviving. Crossfire does contribute to the story evolving in the Prequel Era and ties in well with the movies, other books and the Dark horse comics. For those people who read Boba Fett, you should really pick up the Jedi Quest series, it is much better than these Boba Fett books.
Boba Fett.......2005-08-30
This is the second book in the Boba Fett series. I highly recommend this book, and I recommend the other books in this series, too:
-The Fight to Survive (#1)
-Maze of Deception (#3)
-Hunted (#4)
-A New Threat (#5)
-Pursuit (#6)
Boba Fett.......2004-03-14
This was the second in a series about the future bounty hunter, Boba Fett. With his father dead, Boba finds Count Dooku (an employer of Boba's father, Jango) on a garbage planet. He sneeks around and figures out that Dooku is trying to find the Ultimate Force (I don't know the exact name that they gave it.) Later, Clone Troopers attack the planet and rescue Boba as an orphan. Boba then lives on a huge ship in outer space. He decides to now search for his ship, Slave I which was captured by another Bounty Hunter, Aurra Sing. Sing is actually following the space ship to hunt for jedi. When both ships land on a moon, Aurra Sing and Boba Fett team up to get off of the planet. Sing agrees to help Fett get his father's money as long as she gets half. The book ends as the two leave into deep space. You'll want to read the next book in the series, Deceptions, after finishing this one.
The Clone Wars continue with Boba in the middle of it!.......2003-08-06
This is the 2nd book of a trilogy about the 10 year old Boba Fett set 1 month after the battle of Geonosis. On the current timeline as of April 2003 this is also the 3rd of 11 existing or planned stories about the Clone Wars that start with Episode 2. Crossfire does contribute to the story evolving in the Prequel Era and ties in well with the movies, other books and the Dark horse comics.
Aurra sing has brought Boba to Count Dooku on Raxus Prime. Boba discovers that they are drilling for a force device. They Jedi lead troops arrive leading to the title of the book CROSSFIRE. Completist like me wish to read this book because it does offer some substance.
These books are said to be written for 9 to 12 years, but the same is said of the Jedi Quest series. The Jedi Quest books are much better. But if one want to know about young Boba Fett, this is where it can be found. I see most reviews award 4 or 5 stars. Others are free to say that this should be ranked among the very best books ever written. For me, I award 4 stars for books that are above average and 5 stars rarely. I find it difficult to give this modest yet entertaining book anything except a grade of FAIR or 2 stars. Seems that 5 stars are for Moby Dick or Wraith Squadron or Courtship of Princess Leia.
Darkhorse is also doing Clone Wars comics. They are well done and worth a look. The entire prequel era was well thought out and I am enjoying the books and comics, and now the cartoon shows.

From birth to death, from good to bad: All SRV.......2007-05-17
The Austin, Texas authors start out with Little Stevie (he became known as Stevie Ray much later) sneaking to hold and attempt to coax some music from his brother's guitar. Throughout the book, there is the challenge of being as good as his brother. (Although he was much better....later on...Stevie Ray would always say that his brother was better.) From there, it leads through his life, including the artists that he listed to on records and over the AM radio. It was, according to the authors, a conglomeration of the varied styles of guitar players like Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, B.B. King, Eric Clapton and others that became the well known, and superlative playing of Stevie Ray Vaughan. His life would not be fully and fairly presented without SRV's addiction to cocaine and to alcohol, which is made an integral (and very necessary) part of this book, and his conquering of these addictions almost four years prior to his death on a foggy morning on a helicopter leaving a concert in Wisconsin. The book is not perfect, but which one is? Still, it held me throughout the writing and made me know and somewhat understand SRV so much better. Fan or not of SRV, it is a very good read.
his life the ultimate blues song.......2007-03-05
Stevie Ray Vaughan started playing guitar at the age of 11. He would sneak into his bedroom closet when his older brother Jimmie was out and lose all sense of time and place in Jimmie's guitar. He was a natural, and soon guitars were all he cared about. He idolized Jimi Hendrix and overplayed his blues solos just like Hendrix had. His fingers bled from the heavy-gauge strings he used to get the sound he wanted from his beloved Strat and Rickenbacker. He spent most of his life in a ferocious, silent competition with Jimmie. These are just a few of the facts Patoski and Crawford reveal in their richly detailed chronicle of SRV's agonizing and convoluted journey to fame.
The book also details Stevie Ray's continual struggles with substance abuse. He gave to alcohol and cocaine the same devotion and intensity he gave to his music, and the years of abuse showed when he performed. After collapsing near death in London, he finally got clean. He was as zealous about being in recovery as he was about playing the blues. And then, in supreme irony, he died in a helicopter crash following a performance.
This book depicts the Texas music scene of the 70s and 80s, showing the evolution of Austin as a center for live music. It is a great read, not only for blues devotees, but for anyone who loves music.
An In-Depth Look.......2006-11-05
Stevie Ray Vaugahn: Caught in the Crossfire is a very insightful, informative look into the life and career of Stevie Ray Vaughan. This book concerns itself with details while remaining flattering to the fans of Stevie Ray without boring the casual reader. A great book that I have purchased on two different occasions and read more times than I can remember. A highly recommended purchase for anyone with any interest in Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Caught in the Crossfire.......2006-11-04
SRV fans will add this to their collecitons and their memories.
Gripping........2006-11-03
It is very difficult to let go of this book once you've started reading it. The narrative flows effortlessly, and it is very easy to read without stopping. Not only it gives an ample view on the life of the late guitarrist, but it is also a lesson in musical history. One can easily build a record collection by simply searching all the references present in this very entertaining tome. More pictures would be welcome in future reissues, though. But as it is this books presents itself as a must for everyone who's interested in the life of SRV or anyone who is a blues enthusiast.
Book Description
From the talented pen of Gennita Low comes the second instalment in her exciting Navy SEALS trilogy.
Hawk McMillan, SEAL commander, is on a lone mission. To get close to Dragan Dilaver, a Kosovo kingpin involved in drugs and arms–trafficking, Hawk helped him escape from Asia and return to his former country of Yugoslavia. Now Hawk has to discover where certain weapons have been dropped for Dilaver over the diverse regions of Montenegro, Macedonia and Albania –– not an easy task for someone unfamiliar with the territory. In order for the operation to succeed, he needs a tracker and the only available person is CIA contact agent Amber Hutchens.
Beautiful and smart, Amber has made a life for herself in Velesta, Macedonia and she is more than capable of assisting Hawk in finding the cache of hidden weapons. Despite the danger of exposure and torture, they risk everything in their mission to strike down Dilaver and his ruthless gang –– even their love.

THE HUNTER is a book sure to capture and hold you enthralled in the pages for hours.......2007-01-27
A man has needs, and right now, Hawk McMillan wants a nice, big, juicy, American hamburger. He also wants a woman - not a brutalized one who has been tricked or kidnaped and then forced to service dozens of men each night - but a regular, everyday one neither of Hawk's needs are easy finds in Velesta, Macedonia. He's here on assignment, playing the kingpin's best friend, while in reality tracking his movements, waiting for his opportunity to take down this man that turns his stomach.
CIA agent Amber Hutchens uses the cover of running her cafe, the Last Resort, to cover her real interest, the young women that are kidnaped and brought into Velesta. Amber and her friend, Llallana, spent the last four years gathering information on this illegal operation, and now Hawk's arrival signifies something bigger than any of them realize could be taking place.
In order to test out the new operative sent by the CIA, Amber breaks into his room, and takes down Hawk with the help of an injection. Since he was naked at the time, she leaves her calling card attached to an unmentionable body part. The last operative the CIA had sent almost blew her cover, and Amber's not about to risk herself, her friends, or her operation to another idiot. Hawk is going to have to prove himself if he wants her help.
Hawk can't believe he was so lax as to let down his guard enough to allow anybody to get the better of him the way his attacker did. He's just lucky the attacker obviously didn't mean him any real harm since he wakes up in his own room covered in blankets off his bed. Then, he discovers the craftily attached calling card left behind, and he knows a challenge has definitely been issued and it's one he fully intends to answer - as soon as he finds out who his assailant is. It's just possible he will find the challenger, as well as fulfill his other needs, if he pays a visit to the Last Resort.
With a fast paced plot and witty challenges between the two main characters, THE HUNTER is a book sure to capture and hold you enthralled in the pages for hours. You can actually feel the emotional turmoil the characters experience, as they're forced to turn a blind eye to the corruption surrounding them as they struggle to take down the current kingpin, Dilaver. Yet, there were scenes so touching, I was on the verge of tears several times, as well as laughing out loud over the antics of Hawk and Amber as the tested each other. THE HUNTER is the second book in Gennita Low's CROSSFIRE series.

Good but way too good CIA/SEAL to be believable Worth reading.......2006-06-13
Of course you'll fall for Hawk, he's one tough, good looking, Navy SEAL. Who wouldn't? Amid the bad guys Hawk and Amber manage to fall in love. Both end up hero's. Pretty good story.
Disappointing.......2006-04-29
The book had a good plot that should have been good but it was very slow moving. I finally read the end to see how it ended up and then tossed it.
Unsatisfying...a disappointment........2006-02-04
I've always liked the fact that this author chose to place her heroines in the intriguing world of espionage. According to the book covers, these ladies were supposed to be kick-ass spies, going toe-to-toe with the men in their world. Yet I've been disappointed that the author hasn't really delivered on the promise. The heroines, who are the supposed focus of these novels, aren't very fleshed out. For example, in Into Danger, the heroine Marlena is supposed to be this revered assassin, yet she never assassinates anyone, and there's no discussion of anyone she assassinated. In this book, all we learn about Amber is that she "trades information," is the child of missionaries, and is a contract agent for the CIA, whatever that means. We learn nothing about how she came to be involved with the CIA, exactly what she does for them, how she developed the talents and skills that she supposedly has. Indeed, except for one rescue scene, we see no demonstration of her espionage skills, but are repeatedly told what a good cook she is. In short, we're given no glimpse into her world before the hero, Hawk, landed in it. On the other hand, we read ad nauseum about Hawk's cardboard cutout Navy SEAL background. If I read one more reference to his SEAL "brothers" or his superior physical stamina and abilities, I thought I'd throw the book across the room. Thank goodness no one uttered the obligatory "hoorah."
I also thought the plot in this novel moved at a painfully slow pace. The writing was very repetitive. Hawk, in particular, simply had the same thoughts over and over. The plot was also a bit jumbled and, especially towards the end, made almost no sense. The sudden appearance of characters from previous novels was handled very clumsily and was not convincing.
Another problem I have to mention was the author's inexplicably incorrect use of grammar. She repeatedly used the wrong verb tense, and there were several times when her sentences just made no sense. I guess editors don't actually edit. Interestingly, I didn't notice this shortcoming in her previous novels.
As I'm sure the author intended, I continue to be intrigued by the recurring characters, Jed McNeil/Stefan and Alex Diamond. They and the elusive "T." will probably keep me reading these novels. I just hope the plots become more revelatory and illuminating. I realize that the world of espionage is cloaked in shadow, but it's unsatisfying when the reader is kept in the dark.
Ms. Low Can Write And How!!!.......2005-12-03
Ms. Low's latest effort "The Hunter" is a sensually captivating read that at times is a little dark but always entertaining. We hook up with the SEAL team from "The Protector" once again only this time we're treated to Hawk McMillan's story. This bad boy has finally met his match.
Hawk McMillan is in Macedonia working along side an arms-trafficking creep he'd rather just kill and move on to the next, but this is not what his assignment is and so he has to gut it out. The fact that he likes to work solo is also an issue as he's just been assigned a "partner" but this partner is like no other. She can track, make a killer hamburger, get him hot in more ways than one, and she makes him laugh. Too bad they're not in Middle America living in the burbs. No they need to keep their wits about them, because not doing this could lead to one or both of them being killed. When you live and work in shades of gray it's hard to tell who's on the good side and who's on the bad side. But when the mission's over will Hawk be able to walk away from Amber or will something keep them apart?
Amber is walking a very dangerous line and when she has to pair up with Hawk things become even more blurred. She can't over look the fact that he's yummy with a capital Y, she overlook the fact he challenges her in almost every way possible, and she can't ignore the feelings he brings out in her. But when things heat up with the mission will they be able to ignore what they feel or will it get in the way of doing their job?
Ms. Low is an amazing talent! She has taken a different approach from others in the suspense genre and as a result has carved a very deep notch for herself. Her characterization is strong all the way around. It's nice to read a heroine who can kick tail but still be feminine and allow the guy to be strong. The heat and chemistry between Hawk and Amber is nuclear and this part of the storyline truly added to the nuances of their interaction. Scratching you head at the last comment? You'll just have to read the book to understand. I look forward to her next story in this series and highly recommend that you pick up any title by Ms. Low. You're in for a treat.
Book Description
For years, Christians have fled from the horrific conflict in the Middle East. Today, in the land where the church began, less than two percent of the people in Israel, West Bank and Gaza are Christians. Yet that remnant holds the hope for peace-if they can only persevere in faith and not be discouraged. Light Force is the remarkable story of Brother Andrew's mission to seek out the church in the Middle East, learn about its conditions and needs, and do whatever he can to strengthen what remains. Through dramatic true stories, readers get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at real people affected by the centuries-old conflicts in this volatile part of the world. Now available in paper, this gripping account of the church caught in the crossfire will captivate readers everywhere.
Customer Reviews:
A must read!.......2007-05-14
If you have not read any of Brother Andrew's books, start here then proceed w/ the rest. Very insightful. He exhibits a view of the Middle East through Christian eyes that everyone should read. It does not matter if you're Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Christian, Black, White, Red, Purple; reading this will change your heart. Brother Andrew grasps hold of the human soul and exposes what GOD's Children are experiencing in one of the most chaotic places on EARTH!
Thought Provoking.......2007-04-03
I bought Light Force because I enjoyed another book about Brother Andrew called God's Smuggler. Light Force chronicles the middle east climate through the eyes of Brother Andrew, Palestinian Christians and Israeli Christians, and Muslims, from not long after Israel became a nation through 2004.
This book opens my eyes to the suffering of others based upon race and religion in a captivating way and offers readers an interesting story as well as a fresh perspective on the mideast crises.
I couldn't put the book down.
A Revealing Insider's Account of the Church's Struggle in the MIddle East.......2006-12-16
Light Force is a real eye-opener, presenting the plight of Christians caught in the crosshairs of the Middle East battle. Christians are right to support Israel--obeying God's command to "bless them." At the same time, we should not ignore our brothers and sisters in Palestine who are often lumped in with the worst of the terrorists and jihadists.
Kudos to Brother Andrew for having the courage to share Christ with Hamas leaders and other dangerous men. He's right when he says that this is the only way to change the world.
Fortunately, for Christians, we have hope. Jesus is our only hope for peace and stability in this world.
I would encourage American believers to read Light Force, if only to help them realize that not all Palestinians are terrorists. In fact, most aren't. Most just want to live their lives as we do.
God bless Brother Andrew for his life and work.
A Rarely Seen (Yet Significant) Side to the Middle East Situation.......2006-05-07
In our newspapers, we tend to read a great deal about the Jewish people and the Muslim people--but what about the 15 million Christians who are caught in the crossfire of the Middle East? It's a story the media doesn't often explain. Brother Andrew with the excellent writing of Al Janssen tells a riveting story of the Middle Eastern Church. The faces become more than names but memorable people whose stories will burn into your hearts and minds.
I was very moved to read this paragraph in the book, "The Church was the only hope for the Middle East, not because she had a better program or more political insight. She didn't. What she had was a way to bring people from both sides together based on the work of one Man whose birth two thousand years ago would be celebrated in a few days. His light still shone through believers here in the Holy Land. Many didn't understand the light. Many covered their eyes and refused to acknowledge the light. Others attacked the light and tried to put it out. But surely there are those who realized the bankruptcy of a peace process that had brought no peace for fifty years. For those who were willing, they could see the answer--Palestinians and Jews meeting at the foot of the cross." (p. 313)
I highly recommend Light Force. It is excellent.
Terrorists are not Born but Made.......2006-04-20
In a recent conference, Brother Andrew said that terrorists are not born but made. He adds that they become terrorists because no one cares for their souls. Light Force is a book that prompts its readers to be concerned about the souls of terrorists. It also wants its readers to be involved in the struggles of their brothers and sisters in the Lebanese and Palestinian churches.
Light Force is a fair book that is not marked by any mindless emotionalism. Instead, it reflects a strong commitment to Christ, to supporting God's people in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, to loving both Arabs and Jews, and to evangelizing Muslims.
In four parts, the book introduces a world marked by horror, violence, and death. We see this world through the eyes of Brother Andrew who travels throughout Lebanon and the Palestinian territories seeking to encourage the churches in these dangerous areas. As he travels, he meets courageous evangelical men and women who love God wholeheartedly and serve Him in the midst of very depressing circumstances. This could be the unique contribution of this book for it unpacks before its readers the stories and struggles of many faithful Lebanese and Palestinian evangelicals who are committed to following Jesus Christ. Through their lives and struggles, the reader considers the dwindling numbers of Christians in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, and the escalating influence of Muslim fundamentalists.
Most of the book deals with the Palestinian Evangelical church and its context. It focuses on the contributions of Bethlehem Bible College, the Palestinian Bible Society, the Jerusalem Alliance Church, Musalaha, and the Baptist Church in Gaza. Brother Andrew meets with the leaders of these ministries. He encourages them and inspires them to be faithful in the midst of trouble. He also listens to their needs and through "Open Doors" partners with them in prayer and financially.
Last, the book presents a unique Christian perspective concerning Muslim fundamentalists. On the one hand, they are not mindless, nameless, or faceless terrorists. Instead, they are hospitable friends and hurting people. On the other hand, the authors emphasize that they don't condone any terrorist actions. Their words and actions lift up Christ without demonizing or dehumanizing Muslim fundamentalists. They see that doing the former properly demands a deep and sincere love for all Muslims. Such love seeks to visit these Muslims, hear their anguish, and respectfully present the living Christ to them.
By the time, the reader finishes this book, he or she will be informed, inspired, and prompted to be involved in remembering their brothers and sisters in the Middle East, in reflecting on their eschatological/theological positions in light of the Middle Eastern church, and in responding with love to Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the Middle East.

Book Description
The start of a thrilling new trilogy featuring Jazz, a Navy SEAL who must trust a mysterious agent sent to rescue him.
Navy SEAL Jazz Zeringue was taken into custody after a covert mission went awry. He had no doubts he'd be rescued, but he was certainly surprised when his saviour turns out to be the mysterious and beautiful agent Vivi Verreau. It's obvious Vivi doesn't like him, doesn't trust him, but they'll have to work together if they're to escape from enemy territory alive.

A rant, not a rave........2007-05-08
It's perhaps unfortunate that this book's turn came up at the same time my tolerance for sloppy publishing came to an end. Yes, I've read worse books, but have only now become fed-up enough to rant.
I read a short synopsis of this book and too quickly clicked the buy button- eager to lose myself in a good romantic-suspense series. I remembered my enthusiasm when I finished my first books by Cindy Gerard and Suzanne Brockmann. I ran-didn't walk (or maybe I skipped)- to get to the rest of their books. I hoped to have another 'find' with Gennita Low.
The premise of 'The Protector' was promising enough- hell, just say Navy SEAL and anything seems promising enough. But when I found myself again and again tripping through inconsistencies, typos and poor grammar, the promise became a simple, frustrated determination to just finish the damn thing so I could justify buying it. There were some other problems, too. Though they had a hot first love scene (believe me, you wait long enough for it) I otherwise didn't care about the lead characters. She is ridiculously reticent and nearly humorless and he is inexplicably whipped from the beginning. Also, there's a pretty depressing subject matter that darkens the story a wee too much for me.
At any rate, these last two complaints are subjective and wouldn't have warranted this entry. Here's my real beef. It's not with Ms. Low (whose work is still above some others in the genre) but with the publisher. Was there even an editor assigned to this manuscript? Or a proofreader? For example, the author repeatedly uses incorrect verb tense which, more annoyingly than a simpler grammar error, can change the explanation/direction, etc. of the story line if you're not reading carefully enough. One reason I like to read romance and/or suspense is I'm not usually compelled to read paragraphs over to make sure I 'got it'. Here, I was often re-reading sentences just to verify that what I thought didn't make sense, in fact, did not. I admire that the author speaks several languages, so maybe she's confused about verb usage because English is not her first language? If so, where were the copy editors to pick up the slack?
Look, this is my main point- and, granted, one that several romance writers and publishers do seem to get. Don't insult the reader's intelligence. We know we're not reading Pulitzer material, but we still thrill to a well-written plot and character. AND we think our combined $7plus per book should ensure at least one trip through a capable editor's hands. See, we, the romance reader, know you, the romance publisher, are making kajillions simply because we are a voraciously reading and loyal lot. Just know that the next time I feel moved to throw a book against the wall after one too many frustrated groans, I'll not only cross the author off my list, but the publisher as well.
Good but Not as Good as The Ohers!.......2005-09-22
Of all four books this was the only one I wasn't as crazy over. Jazz fell for ViVi so fast I couldn't beleive it as at first I thought she was considered just ordinary. Have to admit though those SEALS were all nice guys. Couldn't help but love em all. I would recommend all the books in the series and hope she continues to add to them.
Not as good as her first two!.......2005-09-18
I had never heard of Gennita Low before, and I read her first books with some trepidation, but she proved she was a really great writer. But, in this book she really disappointed me. I read all the other reviews and I thought the book was going to be great. Nope, didn't happen. It started good and went downhill from there. The last hundred pages picked up but not to warrant such rave reviews from so many people. The book was bad, too much action between secondary characters, and not enough between Jazz and Vivi. Skip this book in her series, go on to The Hunter instead, much more interesting.
Kick-Ass, romance comedy = Awesome.......2005-09-05
I'm really enjoyed this book because it's great romance, action & comedy. The people in the story are enjoyable. I don't think I ever disliked, or got annoyed by any of the characters. Jazz & Hawk make a great team (comic) -- added with their SEAL `brothers'! And Vivi just has that "Charlie's Angel (kick-ass/kung fu)" spice in her.
When I got toward the middle, there was already so much action going on, I started to wonder, how can this book get any better... but it did....there was just so much `more' action towards the end!
All-in-all, the book was great. The romance & the action was great... but I love the comedy the most.. Made me laugh out loud, that the people around me thought I was nuts for a minute!
The Protector - Great Read.......2005-04-18
This was a great book to read. The characters are realistic and enjoyable.

Full of action and riveting.......2005-03-02
Again David Hagberg does a superb job. Russia is in bad need of funds, after the fall of Communism. US plans to send 125 tons in gold to Iran to preserve their presence in the Middle-East. Old hard-liners in Russia plan to steal the gold and blame everything on the ex-CIA agent. Full of heart-stopping action, switching plots, devious characters - a great book.
Over long and underdevloped.......2003-01-16
With tons of explosions, the only thing you can say about this book is this: boy, does it blow!
In "Crossfire", a clique of distaff Soviets are hoping to pay there way out of the chaos that is the "Former Soviet Union" using a stolen cache of Iranian gold. That's right, another story about fanatic and backward Soviets who don't know the meaning of the words "we lost the cold-war!" First, for reasons that aren't immediately clear (that's putting it mildly - very little becomes clear in "Crossfire") these post-Soviet baddies must ice a retired CIA operative named Kirk McGarvey, Hagberg's hero. Although Hagberg's Russians kill with little compunction, McGarvey's death requires irony, and his downfall begins with the Russians framing him for the bombing of the US Embassy in Paris. Now on the run from just about everybody, McGarvey hooks up with a beautiful woman and decides to track down the conspiracy, which now includes a homicidal Ukranian named Kurshin, a man thought dead since McGarvey thew him into the Mediterranean. Luckily for Kirk, Kurshin is gunning for him as well (that is that Kirk won't have to look that far; "far" being a relative word, considering that this is the sort of novel that bills itself as an international thriller "From Paris to Rio - Washington to Tehran!". At least McGarvey can rack up frequent flier miles) In South America, McGarvey tangles with more hired guns as he investigates a sunken U-Boat possibly loaded with Nazi gold. Kurshin, never far behind, cleans up any characters McGarvey allows to live. Some Israelis show up but, appearing in the parts of the book dealing with sunken Nazis, they are the sort of wise and kind (comparatively) Mossad agents who only use espionage to cleanse the world of the evil of the Holocaust; the badass Mossad agents thought employed against Israel's mideast enemies never appear.
With little resolved or explained, the novel shifts to Iran and a shipment of gold that once belonged to the Shah that the US decides to return to Iran. Knowing of the bullion delivery, the evil post-Soviets decide to make a grab for it themselves in an operation that looks doomed from the start (using strategic bombers that need long runways, they'll swoop down in the desert and just haul the gold away. Yeah, that can happen).
Everything in this novel is either unnecessarily complicated or simply suspends your belief. Nothing in the plot even remotely suggests why anybody could believe McGarvey would want to bomb our embassy. Worse - just wondering about whether McGarvey could be the kind of guy to commit wholesale "collateral damage" will bring you to the unsettling realization that McGarvey, for his exploits, is a boring guy - he's like Bond, without the expensive tastes, hot women, gadgets or one-liners. Then there's Kurshin, who seems addicted to killing people - early on, he warms himself by contemplating McGarvey's murder. Unfortunately, like McGarvey, Kurshin is also a bore - murder is basically all he does. He kills those who happen to cross his path while following McGarvey, he kills participants in his schemes once they've outlived there usefulness; he even kills the poor slob who has to drag the Ukranian across the desert after their big scheme fails. He's like the masked killer in any of those teen-slasher pics (and this book is pretty hefty proof that the spy-thriller really needs a shot of the self-parody treatment that we got in "Scream"). "Crossfire" would be bad enough if it didn't recall another book Hagberg wrote under his Sean Flannery alias - "Kilo Option". Like "Cross", "Kilo" involved plenty of explosions, a hunky and resourceful hero, baddies with an unnecessarily complicated scheme, an over-written but under-developed plot, Iranians who are either good or evil depending on how religious they are, and (most annoying of all) a psychotic Ukranian who kills according to compulsion, and can't be killed himself - this one named "Yernin". (see the difference?) Even Kurshin's getting tossed into the Mediterranean by McGarvey in a prior book hints at Yernin's fate at the end of "Kilo". What's the point of having a pen name if you write esentially identical books under both names?
Above all of the book's other flaws is this one - there really is no plot, no story that explains or links the pointless slaughter perpetrated throughout the book. Since "Crossfire" is obviously part of some larger series that will pit McGarvey against Yernin (sorry, I meant Kurshin), I can forgive its reference to other books for needed plot devices. But that doesn't explain how this book lacks a true beginning, middle and end. I mean, how did Hagberg know where to start and end this tedious book? In short, keep out of this "Crossfire".
Not one of his best.......2002-01-16
A good read, but not one of his best. Check out Joshua's Hammer - now that is a great read ;)
As exciting as it is Explosive..........2001-06-19
Our hero, Kirk McGarvey, makes an explosive comeback in this thrilling adventure which jumps from one place on the globe to another with the speed of a Tomahawk missile. I have long felt that McGarvey was a combination of James Bond, Jack Ryan, Dirk Pitt & Indiana Jones rolled into one...and he is in TOP form in 'Crossfire'.
Arkady Kurshin, who Kirk thought he had 'taken care of' in his previous adventure comes back to serve up a heaping dose of revenge against the one man who has turned his life upsidedown and who very nearly killed him. Arkady is one of those villains you almost root for--ALMOST, because he is so much fun as the bad guy, and gives Kirk such a run for his money that you are left almost breathless as you read along.
I also VERY much enjoyed the addition of the submarine in the plot. WELL done, Mr. Hagberg. I enjoyed virtually everything about this novel...in fact as I look back on it, I cannot think of ANYTHING which I did NOT enjoy. Kirk McGarvey is easily one of the most entertaining characters I know in print today, and as long as he keeps making comebacks in Hagberg's novels, I will be lining up to purchase his books. 'Crossfire' rivals almost anything written by Clancy, and for sheer adventure/action, Kirk can keep pace with Dirk Pitt any day. If I had to sum up this novel in one word, it'd be this: FUN.
an Exciting Action Book!.......2000-09-19
Kirk McGarvey once again gets to do battle with his arch enemy Arkady Kurshin. McGarvey had thought that he had killed Arkady Kurshin on the cosst of Syria. Kurshin survived his battle with McGarvey by killing his rescuers,some Syrian troops. Kurshin makes his return by blowing up the American embassy in Paris and placing the blame on McGarvey. McGarvey rescues several people from the exploded embassy including a woman from Argentina who is searching for a sunken Nazi submarine. She hooks up with McGarvey and they find the submarine only to discover that it has fake gold. They obtain a list from the submarine telling the na,mes of Nazis who know where tje gold is. In the meantime the Americans have returned the Iranians their assets in the form of gold. Arkady Kurshin and some of his KGB gang are going to steal it. McGarvey stops them buts gets badly wounded. Kurshin is also wounded in the battle. McGarvey and the woman find the location of the gold. A tremendous battle takes place in a castle in Lisbon involving McGarvey,Kurshin,Israeli agents,and guards who work for the Nazis. Kurshin is finally killed. A very good read. This was a book that I could reccomend to anyone.
Book Description
The Target
Lily Noretski is as dangerous as she is beautiful. She's also a sleeper in possession of a devastating weapon.
The Agent
As a sharpshooter, Navy SEAL Reed Vincenzio is as emotionless as they come. Armed with a file on his target, Reed knows what he has to do.
The Mission
Reed must win Lily's confidence, find the weapon . . . and eliminate her if necessary. Yet his files don't even begin to hint at this extraordinary woman's fire and courage, making this assignment harder than any Reed has ever undertaken.
Lily knows that someone is pulling her strings, but if she is to survive, she must put her life in the hands of this charming, magnetic man who appeared out of nowhere. Her head tells her she's in grave peril, but her heart dares her to put everything on the line. Will the price of her passion prove to be more than she bargained for?
Customer Reviews:
What's with Lily? .......2006-12-09
In "The Hunter" Lily was quick, independent & didn't let anyone interfere with her goals. In "Sleeping With the Agent" she became clingy, wimpy & allowed Reed to lead her around and make decisions for her. To me this character was ruined & a book I was looking forward to a disappointment.
I gave it a four because of the inclusion of other characters that were more interesting than the leads. Lily never seemed to catch on to the fact that Reed came into this assignment with every intention of killing her. Color me crazy but that would be a relationship breaker to me.
only for Gennita's fans.......2006-02-16
Gennita's latest SEAL hero, Reed, is yummy but that's the only thing that got me in Sleeping With the Agent. I did not care for Lily in the previous book and though her this is *her* book, I still did not take to her.
Overall, I found this book just average and I consider myself a huge Gennita Low fan. It lacked the complexity and substance I found in her earlier books and this one felt rushed and overly simple - as if Gennita sat down one morning and wrote it in one day. I am disappointed because I expected a lot more depth in the interactions between the characters, certainly between Reed and Lily. I found it hard to buy into the romance. Unlike some fans, I loved the Protector and thought it was Gennita's best while I found The Hunter (which many liked) rather bland. After 'Sleeping', I find The Hunter was a better book. Nevertheless, it makes me want to read ALL Gennita's books again just to see why I liked one more than the other. Though I found Sleeping With the Agent disappointing, Gennita is still an auto-buy for me and will remain so for a long time to come.
Like all her fans, I am waiting for T and Alex's story. It was a nice surprise to see them pop at the end of this book, which leads me to believe theirs will be the next book?
good but not her best..........2006-01-28
I'm not going to be redundant and tell you the plot - others do that well here and we all have things to do. I sometimes wonder if we're all reading the same books, however. I am definitely a big fan of Ms. Low and I would rate all of her books as solid 4 1/2s or 5s - The Hunter was amazing! I disagree that the love scenes were tepid - they weren't. And there was great depth of character that she revealed in Amber and Hawk while not inundating us with boring minutiae. Instead, it was all go go go with a good laugh thrown in (I loved his burger order). With this book, however, I found myself to be disappointed somewhat. It's still good (hence the 4*) but I think that it's missing the depth of plot and characterization that Ms. Low has revealed in her other work. She has spoiled us to expect the best in this type of novel and hasn't been afraid to explore darker parts of her characters. I thought the idea of having Lily as the main character was a good one, especially since we're all waiting for Jed (and I bet the next one will be Brad Sun). I just got the feeling that Ms. Low ran out of things to say about Lily, as if she, herself, wasn't sure what to do with the character or how to portray her to make her both sympathetic and complex. And Reed was fairly shallowly drawn, I thought. Others clearly disagree. If I hadn't read the other novels and enjoyed them so much I may not be disappointed now; unfortunately, this seemed a little too churned out for my tastes with not enough thought behind it (and the editing could have been tighter). I look forward to her next novel, though, and am sure that it will be as enjoyable as most of Ms. Low's work remains.
Sleeping With The Agent is another wild ride........2006-01-19
Llallana "Lily" Noretski is on the run, she has no one to trust. She is afraid that whatever the CIA did to her will now make her turn on those she holds dear. All Lily cares about now is getting those abused young girls to a better life. When Lily is unable to obtain all the necessary passports for travel she makes an uneasy alliance with a gun smuggling handsome stranger.
Navy Seal Reed Vincenzio is brought in on a joint mission to bring Lily in or to eliminate her. Lily was activated from a sleep cell months ago and has a dangerous device in her possession. Reed is a highly skilled sharpshooter and normally a job like this would be a snap for him. But getting to know Lily has made Reed unsure about his Intel on this mission. Reed tries to keep a tight rein on Lily but Lily isn't used to depending on anyone.
As these two form an alliance the danger to Lily intensifies. Reed has fallen for this exotic beauty and will risk all to save her.
Sleeping With The Agent is a trill a minute read. It's enthralling both in the intrigue, passion and deep friendships. Ms. Low really made Lily a likeable character, you can feel her anguish about her past deeds. Reed and Lily's growth in trust and as lovers is exceptional.
Looking forward to the next book for this author. Hoping someday to read T and Alex's story..
Thrilling Intrigue and Sensually Stimulating - Oh Yeah!.......2006-01-17
Lily Noretski is beautiful and dangerous. She'd been betrayed by the CIA - people who were supposed to be helping her - and turned into a `sleeper cell'. While under another's control, Lily had betrayed the only friend she'd ever known. Now on the run, Lily was in possession of a destructive weapon that had to be recovered before an enemy handler could contact her and use it to upset world power.
After a Special US Ops team (GEM) located Lily, Navy SEAL sharpshooter Reed Vicenzio was assigned the task of getting close, winning Lily's trust, finding the weapon, and if need be, `taking her out'. Reeds normally dispassionate nature was aroused not only by Lily's courageous strength, but her beauty. The closer he got, Reed recognized her compassion and courage as she worked to get `her girls' - sex slave victims, like she had once been, to safety.
It was a supreme effort for Lily to trust, but she was discovering that the enigmatic man who kept saving her life seemed more than able to fit the bill. Knowing that someone was trying to manipulate her head, Lily fought her way out of the fog trying to complete her own self-appointed mission. Though danger appeared at every corner, Lily only began to feel safe when enclosed in Reed's arms. For both, the price they would pay for their passion could come at a deadly cost.
-- Discovering Low's Crossfire trilogy in this, the final book, I can certainly understand the praise this writers generating of her exciting and intensely suspenseful thrillers! This was a roller coaster ride from beginning to end starring two captivating protagonists. Reed is that totally alpha male - an awesome and yummy hero! While it did take me a bit of time to come up to speed with the numerous characters and incidents mentioned from the previous books in the Crossfire trilogy, I was quickly immersed in the adventure and thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of the rollercoaster, which I recommend lovers of suspenseful intrigue to hop on board for the ride!

Drake ignores his own logic.......2006-06-04
Most of these stories are good to excellent.
One that a lot of people find exciting is "The Warrior". Yes, the story is exciting. But it violates Drake's own logic.
Yes, the main character is a warrior. But what Hammer is selling, and what he needs, are *soldiers*.
Soldiers don't go haring off on their own, winning personal battles and leaving their buddies unsupported and taking avoidable casualties.
My own reading of Hammer (much less Joachim von Steuben, head of the "White Mice", Hammer's Slammers' Field Police) is that the kind of cowboy Drake gives us here wouldn't just be temporarily buisted for the kind of things he does.
No, i'd expect a "field court" -- kicked down and a round behind the ear -- if not the first time he pulled that stuff, certainly the second. (What i'd do if i was there and he pulled something like that.)
A real army can't afford warriors.
So, yeah -- good story, but i don't believe it, in context.
In war, the only rule is SURVIVAL!.......2003-01-17
The second book in the Hammer's Slammers' series includes the two novels The Warrior and Counting the Cost, as well as The Immovable Object, Caught in the Crossfire and, the new story, The Interrogation Team. Also has an introduction to the book and a afterward to Counting the Cost both by David Drake. Both The Warrior and Counting the Cost are full of swift action, brutal decisions and real characters.
Look for the next book: The Butcher's Bill.
It's a great one.......2000-03-10
Caught int he crossfire is a great read for Drake newbies. He's a wonderful author, and this book is one of many of his great Sci-fi works.
A mixed bag, but a good starting point..........1998-07-27
I agree that this is a good place to start if you aren't familiar with Drake. However, some of Drake's stories strike a very familiar tone. For several years I considered all of his novels to be only moderately different takes on the same basic themes: amoral military personel (gunmen at times), the horrors of war, and the lasting effects of PTSD. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that per se, for various reasons those are precisely the kind of themes which can make for very interesting reading on a number of levels.
The problem lies with the middle period in which some of these stories were written. Some of Drake's laster work such as the end of the Igniting the Reaches saga, and the Voyage have been extremely well done. At the same time many of his early stories had a raw and stunning intensity. (One line from an early story is still etched in my memory, "Have you ever seen a Sheridan burn?") A few of these stories falter only slightly.
"! ;Counting the Cost" is one of the most problematic. The characters are believable, and the details ring true, up to a point. While I realize that it is based on a historical incident, some of the reactions do not always ring true with the brutality found in some of Drake's other work. Notably, the noblewoman still places herself in the arms of the AAA unit commander, lacking enough of the revulsion to make things ring true. But perhaps at that point Drake couldn't bear to be totally hard hearted.
My other quibbles are very minor. Drake knows his hardware fairly well. A careful reading of his books reveals a man who knows not only ancient history, but guns, Fortean phenomena (origin of Powerguns...), and something about human nature. Still, his experience of armored warfare stems from the Vietnam era of Sheridans, M48s, and ACAVs. Careful readers will note a slam on the original Bradley concept of portholes in one of the stories, but never the less, his combat car! s remain ACAVs. Thus they expose the crew to more fire, an! d the top is open... Airburst shells anyone? I'd like to see Hammer's men get some IFVs which would protect the crew, and could use turret mounted weapons with heaver missles.
In closing I'm reminded of an article in a recent issue of SOF. It was about the possible future privatization of war. I believe it was in either the July or August 1998 issue. One of the mercenaries quoted stated that private forces could go into situations with a flexibility the big boys lacked. He derided the U.N. as ineffective and stated that six BMPs at the right place and time could have stopped the killing in Rawanda. Perhaps Drake's view of the future wasn't so far off after all, even without IFVs. (Although, six BMPs from another side...)
Good choice for Drake newbies.......1998-07-14
Similar to the earlier "Under the Hammer", this book reprints some of David Drake's earlier works that were originally standalone books. It includes "The Warrior" and "Counting the Cost", along with three short stories (one of which is taken from the original collection.)
If you've already got the above books, you don't need this one (unless, like me, you must have all things Drake.) If you're just starting, these are some kick-butt military science fiction. A bit graphic, but a fun read nonetheless. And thankfully, this book is free of the notable typos that pervaded its predecessor volume.
