the kingfisher's call

great book. read it in two nights. fast moving and interesting. will buy others from this author.

Kingfisher's Call

See storyline above.Tuck Nyland, the protagonist hero of this story, is one of those characters that seems to have nine lives. A sort of Dirk Pitt type. You know from the onset that nothing can kill this guy but you'll find yourself fretting over the characters that surround him. The novel is fast-paced and visually pleasing with it's locales. To me it had a less than pleasing ending. An overall adventure that could have been a little more fulfilling, but still, I did enjoy it.Recommended.
