The dialogue was great, especially during the military scenes. Certain characters seemed glossed over - Connie, the two bodyguards - but it seems that he may have fleshed them out in earlier books. Learning about the making of a country was very interesting. Not sure how I feel about the author using his own name as the main character, but that is a minor issue in an otherwise good read. ( ) The first thing to say about this book is that I had it for a while and just didn't get around to reading it. The blurb on the back just made no sense whatsoever and gave very little away regarding the actual content of the book. But, as the old saying goes, never judge a book by it's cover. And this novel is no exception. The book basically is a fictional account of the authors life. John Cassell is on the move, looking for a secluded hideaway where he can live his life in relative obscurity. The answer seems to come in the shape of Maggierock, an island on the verge of independence from british control. However, life is far from simple as the author finds himself involved in kidnappings, terrorist activities, guerilla groups, political wranglings and potential death at every turn. The novel is 5th in a series, and to be honest I hadn't read any of the others before picking this up and unlike some series books this one is easily able to stand alone. If your a fan of action novels with more than a fair dosage of gritty realism, then do yourself a favour and introduce yourself to the world of John W Cassell. Oh, and the authors introduction is possibly the most humble I have had the pleasure to come across. Here is a man that really does not recognise his own talents.

I guess I knew now how awful Chicken Little must have felt. All sorts of things were just not right... very close to me... on the other side of the island. Yet Cassell would have to do his punishment first... So the politicians would feel better. Yeah... midnight had come and gone, we were on our own now, but nobody seemed to be wearing a watch.
