Customer Reviews

Clever, Thought Provoking, and Ultimately the Best Book I have Read in a Long Time!

This book just amazed me...I am an avid reader of many different genres and this story just blew me away! Nothing is as it seems as you begin reading, and when the action gets going (and it does so very quickly)it is a nonstop thrill ride...there are so many twists and turns that I felt I was riding down a switchback mountain at top speed. I actually had to put the book down several times to take a break from the action because my adreneline levels and blood pressure were getting so high I started to feel light headed! So what if a "professional reviewer" thought the idea was far fetched...I think anything is "possible", even if it's not "probable" and if you look closely you just might get a little twinge of uncertainty about what might "possibly" be going on in our world today or the very near future. This is truly a book that you won't be able to put down for long. The characters and concepts portrayed are just amazing and I'm really looking forward to more to come from this extremely talented author!

Great fun!

This is a genre I don't read very much, but i have read the usual popular big-sellers. This novel ranks up there with any of those. Lots of twists and turns, good guys skating close to the edge of morality, the latest in international news gets pulled in, and an ending that could go any direction right up to the last minute. can anyone say "screenplay"?

Terrifying suspense, great read!

1787 is a taut and suspenseful thriller that marks a superb counterpoint to the author's New York Times bestselling non-fiction. Brilliantly crafted and richly textured, this gripping story is as provocative as it is topical. The story never relinquishes its grip, and Bailey's gritty descriptive style embellishes both character and setting with a heightened realism that is hugely compelling. I couldn't put it down!

couldn't put it down

I love this exciting and thoroughly well-researched work. I simply couldn't put it down! Suspenseful, well-written, and spellbinding, it ranks with the likes of Tom Clancy and Ken Follett. A sensational first novel, it would be remarkable as a tenth novel. I look forward to more great work from this author.
